One More Chance by Jaycelle Rodriguez

Chapter 146: Can I dance with you?

~~~I won't let you down, no better love will be there when you turn around. I'll be living for you when the oceans turn to sand. There will never be another man could love you just the way that I love you. So don't believe the world, no the world can't give us paradise in the eye within the storm when I just can't make it through the night. As long as we got you and I~~~

"Eherm,"

"Ohh... the ex-husband, huh?"

I hitched my breath when Martin whispered in my ear. I suddenly felt like I wanted to his body apart.

"Can I dance with you?"

But my mouth opened slightly when I heard Luke's question and I turned to him. He's staring at me intently which made my insides melt.

"Can I also have the chance to dance the woman in your arms, Martin?" He then threw him a serious gaze and even though Martin was shocked as to how Luke knew his name, he immediately nodded.

"Oh, sure, I mean, of course, you can dance with her." Martin gave my hand to Luke as if he was my father giving my hand to my groom.

I raised an eyebrow when he showed me his phone, silently telling me that he would just send me his answer. He even winked before turning around which made me chuckle and shake my head. "You seemed so close to him, huh?"

I gazed up at Luke's face and saw how serious his expression was. He put my hand over his shoulder and I gasped slightly when he pulled me closer to him.

"I think we don't have to be this close," I muttered, gripping his shirt tightly.

"You haven't answered my question yet,"

"Because I thought it was not a question." "It was,"

I rolled my eyes, trying to relax in his hold.

"Well, yes, we are close. Why, do you have any problem with that, Mr. Williams?"

He then pushed me slightly, narrowing his eyes at me much to my surprise.

"Why?" I asked barely a whisper as I noticed him staring at my lips.

He didn't answer my question, he just closed his eyes tightly and pulled me into a hug. And a shiver ran down my spine when he massaged the skin on the back of my ear using his thumb as he kissed my hair. "W-What's going with you? What are you doing, Luke?" I asked, gripping his arm.
