I never thought I would actually tell Vanessa everything I've told her but I'm glad I did it. And I can't believe I'm about to do this, but I can still tell her part of the truth.

"What is it?" she asks from the other side of the table.

I lean back in my seat after wiping my mouth. "Do you remember dancing?"

"Yeah, when the other girls were cheering me on."

I chuckle. "That's the dancing you remember?"

"Yeah, I danced while sitting with them. What was there apart from that?"

"To be honest, I didn't know you could dance like that." I subtly bite my lip, thinking about her dancing with me and how sexy it was.

"What are you talking about?" She seems confused.

"You just let yourself go and the music took control over you."

She rises to her feet, as if embarrassed. "I don't remember that. Did anyone take a video or something?"

She huffs. "It's your fault I ended up that way."

"What? How is this my fault?"

"I was obviously trying to make myself feel better and I just stopped giving a damn about anything."

"That's why I constantly watched over you. It still looked like we were dancing together, which we still did."

"We danced together?" She covers her mouth.

"Yeah, but you were very difficult. I had to hold you close."

"Oh...uhm... I just remembered that I have something to do in my bedroom. I'm going now."
