None of us dared to speak and just grabbed this opportunity to stare into each other's eyes, the intensity of the stare even rising as ti goes by. But it was also who gathered all my willpower together to break down this utterly awkward silence.
I cleared my throat first. "We probably should need to go back now. Don't you think?"
It was then when his senses already dawned upon him once more. And then he coughed, a kind of cough that signifies that he is trying his best to act composed once again.
"Right." he finally said for more like than one minute. "We shall go back to the castle as I was told to at this fine evening."
I forced a smile. "Very well. Begin chanting the teleportation spell then, oh mighty captain."
Alex looked like he doesn't know whether to laugh or to ignore my last remark, but knowing his personality, he chose the latter option. I patiently waited for him to chant the needed spell, but our three minutes is up and he said nothing totally nothing.
"Have you gone mute?" I arched one eyebrow. "Why are you not saying anything?"
It appears to that this annoying jerk would like to test my magic skills and therefore would like to chant the necessary spell instead. After all, he kept reminding of my stupid mistake during our first encounter in the marketplace of Citadel.
With this thought in my mind, I took my ti to roll my eyes at him and then prepared myself to initiate our teleportation. If he really wants to test how great I have improved now, I will show him that I can really teleport ourselves back to the castle.
"Wait" he finally said after what seems to be like an eternity when I was about to chant the spell.
"What is it this ti? I thought you are too lazy to utilize the spell and therefore would like to do it myself."
His stare went back towards my direction once again the mont he cocked his head to look at .
"An idea just ca inside my head sothing beyond my knowledge but also sothing that doesn't look bad as well."
I made an exasperated sigh just by hearing him talk this nonsense.
"If you may, could you please get to the point already?" I said quite irritated.
"I want to dance with you in this very room!" he uttered in a frustrated way as well, frustrated to himself that he just can't say it directly, I suppose.
It left dumbfounded.
"What?"
He did not say anything after, but rather he spontaneously pulled through my right hand closer to him and put into a position as I was back on the dancefloor but this ti, it was Alex who has his hands planted on my hips at this very mont.
"I I do not understand." I muttered. "You could have invited to dance earlier where there is music provided, but you didn't--"
He cuts off rather irritated, sighing defeatedly in the process, explaining, "There are too many nippers who fancies you for a dance. "
That statent amused and put my lips to a grin. "Are you calling my school acquaintances, and even Lucas himself, your very best friend, a child? Is that what you are saying?"
"Hush already. If you want us to get back as soon as possible, let seize this mont with you even just for a while."
"But there is no music--"
And again, I was cut off when Alex put a finger over my lips to silence , a gesture that made my heart achingly throbbed for him.
"I said hush."
Too afraid to say anything now, I decided to contain myself and my thoughts all to myself and did as what he told to do. And then the next thing that I knew, he was singing right in front of as he started swaying for tonight.

{Song: So Close by Jon McLaughlin
Featured in the Disney Movie: Enchanted}
You're in my arms
And all the world is gone
The music playing on
For only two
So close together
And when I'm with you
So close to feeling alive
---
I cannot believe it myself. This man, whom I regarded as a heartless, cold, most annoying jerk that I have ever t (aside from the class president, of course) sings to at this very mont while we are both dancing just to provide a piece of music for the two of us.
I I don't know what to say anymore.
---
So close to feeling alive
A life goes by
Romantic dreams must die
So I bid mine goodbye
And never knew
So close was waiting, waiting here with you
And now forever I know
All that I want is to hold you so close
---
My heart continues to flutter all the way as he continues to sing while we are both dancing in this very room. But not long, Alex decided to spin around, and the mont he caught in his arms once again, that's when I felt a tingling on my skin the achingly desire for him to touch so more even without realizing it.
I have sothing for him, sothing that could explain why my heart is currently throbbing so loud and fast than its regular pace, or the fact that my cheeks are turning beet red every ti our burning gazes t.
---
So close to reaching that famous happy end
Almost believing this one's not pretend
And now you're beside , and look how far we've co
So far, we are so close
---
With one last glance at the handso face of this man standing in front of I think I understand now as to why I am feeling this way.
I finally realized the true desires of my heart. It only took ti because of my ignorance to see this while trying to convince myself that this was not real. That I still have feelings for a childhood friend of mine from my past.
But now, I am certain. I like this man. I like Alexander Crimson.
He stopped singing when he probably saw parting my lips slightly for the realization that suddenly occurred to my mind. I do not know what is going on inside that head of his, but the mont I blinked for rely a split second, it was also the mont when he decided to lean in closer and sealed my lips with his.
My first kiss...
Alex did not say anything and pulled away afterward, his eyes daring to stop. I do want to stop him, I really do. But then I could feel my tongue being thick and heavy for to even utter a single word in his presence, and he took that as my way of saying he could do as he pleases with .
Without having second thoughts, Alex leaned in again and started kissing senselessly, his tongue pleading access inside my mouth. And the funny part is that I let him, I let him invade my thoughts temporarily and take charge of . I responded to his kisses, trying to match his pace, as our lips moved into a perfect rhythm.
I let out a grunt as his kisses went down to my neck while his hands are starting to explore my body and then finally making their way to the zipper of my dress. I felt him unzip my back, but then I did not punch him for it nor complain about t. I just let him do his thing while his lips made their way back towards mine.
Once the dress slides out of my body and landed on the floor, my undergarnts plainly made in thin, white cloth was displayed in front of his eyes that exposes my chest very well.
He looked at it for a few seconds, trying to register may be in his head what to do about it. But much to my surprise, he did not remove it as well and instead started groping for my breasts while kissing passionately once again. A soft moan escaped my lips as his hands made contact with them.
This action made took little, slow steps, as his weight makes push backward, until I fell on his bed all of a sudden. By then he decided to straddle over my petite body fra and continued kissing down my neck, my shoulder blades, my arms, and all the way to my open chest. Every kiss makes omit incomprehensible grunts and moans.
He was on his way to removing my undergarnt when sothing caught him, sothing that suddenly sank inside his head that made him stop what he was doing. And because of that he peeled himself away from , picked up my dress, and handed it over to .
"I-I'm sorry, I shouldn't have let my guard down and defiled your innocence," he said, his right hand smacking his forehead quite hard.
I took the dress and said, "Now, now. Don't be too hard on yourself. I clearly liked it myself."
But then it was too late for before I realized what I just said. How stupid of for saying that.
When I put the dress on again, I asked Alex for a little help to zip up the back before I spun around and put my hands on my hips while saying, "Look, how do I put this I think..."
He did not say anything and let have this mont to express my thoughts.
"No I am definitely certain that I like you, Mr. Alexander Crimson. I like you very much."
