Leaving the restroom, Viona and Theresia were immediately enveloped in the vibrant atmosphere of the party. Music pulsed in the background, and colorful lights danced around them. However, Viona's attention was instantly drawn to the figure standing outside the door—Frans.
The man was the center of attention wherever he went. In his well-fitted white shirt, the top two buttons casually undone, he exuded a natural charm that captivated many. His hair, styled upwards, gave him a neat appearance, and his smile—oh, his smile—could make anyone's heart race.
Theresia, Viona's loyal best friend, couldn't help but smile widely. With twinkling eyes and a teasing tone, she said, "Good luck!" giving Viona a small, encouraging smile.
Viona felt a mix of nervousness and excitement. In a single second, it felt as if the world stopped as her eyes met Frans's gaze. They shared a smile that made the atmosphere even more magical. Viona took a deep breath, trying to calm her racing heart.
"Hey, Viona!" Frans called out in a gentle but confident voice. "I've been waiting for you. Want to dance?"
The words flowed like music dancing in her ears. Without thinking twice, Viona smiled back, feeling courage surging through her. "Of course!" she replied, feeling her feet move forward, as if she were stepping into a new adventure.
Theresia watched her, proud that her friend had the courage to seize this opportunity. Meanwhile, Viona, with a heart filled with hope and excitement, made her way towards Frans. The moment felt like a new beginning, and Viona knew this night would be something she would never forget.
Amidst the rumbling music and glittering lights, Viona and Frans began to dance. Their movements flowed so naturally, as if they were destined to unite on the dance floor. Frans's hand gently clasped Viona's, and their bodies moved in harmony with the rhythm. In every turn and step, their souls seemed to speak to each other, ignoring the noise of the outside world.
Every time their eyes met, a genuine smile etched itself onto their lips. In that smile, joy and growing attraction radiated. Viona felt Frans's touch so warm and comfortable, as if she had known him for a long time.
However, amidst the happiness, Viona's thoughts suddenly drifted to the past. The scent of Frans's cologne, the touch of his hand, all felt so familiar. In her mind, the image of Steve, the man she once loved and perhaps still did, appeared so clearly. The resemblance between Frans and Steve felt so real, making Viona a little surprised and confused.
As Viona was lost in memories, Frans sensed a change in her. Gently, he raised his hand and touched Viona's nose, diverting her attention from her reverie.
"Hey," Frans whispered in a soft, soothing voice, "focus on me, okay? Tonight, let it be just the two of us."
Frans's touch and gentle words touched Viona's heart. She snapped out of her reverie and looked back into Frans's eyes. There, she saw sincerity and hope. Viona nodded slightly, trying to banish the shadows of the past and open her heart to a new opportunity.
With a more genuine smile, Viona resumed following Frans's movements. She decided to enjoy this moment to the fullest, letting herself drift in the rhythm of the music and the warmth of Frans's touch. That night, Viona promised herself to forget the past and give her heart a chance to feel new love. With Frans, she hoped to create beautiful memories that would erase all doubts and sorrows.
Just as the dance floor was heating up and Viona began to feel comfortable in Frans's embrace, a friendly and energetic acquaintance, James, took over the microphone. He was the MC for the evening, with a wide smile and infectious energy, ready to ramp up the excitement of the party.
"Okay everyone, enough dancing!" James shouted in a loud voice that echoed throughout the room. "Now, let's play some games that will make us all even closer!"
Cheers immediately filled the room. James always knew how to liven things up. He started with some simple games that involved everyone, from guessing songs to imitating celebrity styles. Laughter and banter filled the air, creating a warm and pleasant atmosphere.
Viona watched James with a happy smile. She always admired James's ability to make everyone feel comfortable and connected. James was the type of person who could melt away the tension and unite different people. His presence always brought cheerfulness and positive energy.
In between games, Viona occasionally exchanged glances with Frans. She saw the smile on Frans's face and felt the warmth of his hand holding hers. Viona realized that she felt very comfortable being near Frans, and she thanked James for creating such a pleasant atmosphere.
That night, Viona felt as if everyone at the party was her friend. She laughed, joked, and shared stories with people she had just met. She felt connected to them all, thanks to James's affability and the spirit he spread.
Viona knew, that night would be an unforgettable memory. Not only because she met Frans, but also because she felt the warmth of friendship and pure happiness. And all that, thanks to James, the MC who always knew how to make everyone smile.
Viona felt Frans gently take her hand, pulling her toward the exit. She was a bit surprised but also curious. "Where are we going?" she whispered.
Frans smiled and didn't answer. He just pulled Viona closer and led her outside. The fresh night air greeted them, carrying the scent of flowers and damp earth. The sky above them was filled with twinkling stars, and the bright moon cast a silver glow.
They walked through the quiet campus corridor, illuminated only by the lamps along the path. The peaceful and romantic atmosphere made Viona feel like she was in a movie.
Frans slowed his pace and stopped in a secluded spot. He looked at Viona with eyes full of emotion, and Viona could feel her heart rate increasing.
"Viona," Frans said in a soft and sincere voice, "I want to tell you something. I've liked you since the first time we met. I don't want to waste time, because I'm about to graduate and I don't want to spend time just being friends."
Viona felt her heart pounding, and she could feel an undefined feeling in her heart. She didn't know what to say, but she could sense that Frans was very serious.
"I want to have something more special with you, Viona," Frans continued. "I want to have a deeper and more meaningful relationship. I want to be your companion, to be someone who is always there for you, and to be someone who makes you happy."
Viona felt tears welling up in her eyes, and she could feel a very deep feeling in her heart. She never expected Frans to have such feelings for her, and she felt incredibly happy.
"I like you too, Frans," Viona said in a trembling voice. "I want to have something more special with you too."
Frans smiled and hugged Viona tightly. They stood there together under the stars and moon, with a love that had just been born between them.
Viona felt Frans's tight embrace, and her eyes closed as she felt Frans's warm and soft lips touch her face. She felt a little scared, but also curious and wanted to experience the new feeling.
Frans took a long and soft breath before touching Viona's lips with his. He touched Viona's forehead first, with a gentle and careful touch. Viona felt a small tremor in her heart when she felt that touch.
Then, Frans moved on to Viona's cheek. He touched her cheek with his lips, with the same gentle and careful touch. Viona felt an even stronger feeling in her heart when she felt that touch.
Finally, Frans moved on to Viona's lips. He touched her lips with his lips, with a warm and soft touch. Viona felt the love that had just been born between them, and she felt a little scared, but also happy and wanted to experience the new feeling.
For the first time, Viona experienced a first kiss. She felt an incredible feeling, like the sunrise in her sky. She felt an undefined feeling, like limitless love.
Viona felt herself falling a little, but also felt happy and wanted to experience the new feeling. She felt Frans kissing her gently and carefully, as if he were pampering her. She felt tears welling up in her eyes, and she could feel a very deep feeling in her heart.
"Ah, Viona," Frans said in a soft and sincere voice. "I've never felt so happy before."
Viona smiled and returned Frans's lip touch. She felt the love that had just been born between them, and she felt a little scared, but also happy and wanted to experience the new feeling.
"First time," Viona said in a soft and careful voice. "I've never felt so happy before."
Frans smiled and hugged Viona tightly. They stood there together under the stars and moon, with a love that had just been born between them.
