jealousy

Liah's pov

I stared into his alluring eyes dumbfounded.

I didn't answer and just kept on staring at him.

"Are you going to keep ignoring me?" He asked me bringing me out of my dazed state.

"Huh?" I almost slapped myself for the stupid word that just came out of my mouth. Do I always have to be short of words in front of him? Why have I been like this since I met him today?

He laughed. I looked at him with a puzzled look on my face because I couldn't understand why he was laughing. What's so funny?

As if he noticed my displeasure, he stopped laughing and cleared his throat..

" Since you didn't hear me the first time, then let me repeat myself. Can I have this dance?" He said and stretched forth his hand for me to take.

I looked at his hand and looked back at his handsome face. I didn't want to think this time. I immediately placed my hand in his and he smiled at my acceptance.

He pulled me gently to the dance floor. He placed his hands on my lean waist making me shiver. I reciprocated his actions by placing both of my hands round his neck as he guided me through the dance floor.

I stared as his beautiful black eyes allowing myself to get lost in them. His hands on my waist making me feel secure as I leaned in to him.

I don't understand this feeling. It can't be love because I've never believed in love at first sight. I might be sixteen but I've had two boyfriends in my life being lucky that my parents never found out.

If this feeling is not love, what word can I use to describe this feeling then.

I gasped loudly when he suddenly grabbed my hand and made me twirl, bringing me right back into his arms again.

" What are you thinking?" he asked me bringing me out of my thoughts.

" You're very handsome" I blurted. I gasped when I realized what I just came out of my mouth.

He laughed. I looked at him puzzled as he laughed at me.

"What's funny?" I asked him

"You. You are really funny. You are extremely beautiful too" he said

" I doubt that. I know I don't look bad but extremely is too much of a word to use you know" I said

" Why do you doubt it. I can't lie to you. You are really beautiful" He said again making me blush. I looked at his handsome face getting lost in his eyes again.

"What's your name? you don't mind telling me now that we've shared a dance right?" I blushed at his statement. Hell what's wrong with me.

" Liah. Liah Martins." I said

"Liah. What a beautiful name."

Just then the music stopped indicating that the dance is over. I quickly unclapsed my hands from round his neck making me realize in embarrassment that I have been leaning onto him all the time.

I quickly turned away from him and started walking away. Gosh gosh gosh, I need to leave or I might embarrass myself further.

"Liah. Liah wait" He called out to me but I ignored him.

I need to find Sophie.

Sophie's pov

I could feel the cursed feeling of jealousy burning me from inside as I stared at Dylan and Liah dancing. I looked at the person I was dancing with and pushed him away.
