It was one of the few times in her life that Lea had felt pretty, yet she sat on the sidelines and watched as other girls danced with their partners. No one had asked her to dance.Not yet, and that's what she was hanging onto. Clinging to. No one had asked her to dance, yet. There was still time. It wasn't over yet. Her eyes wandered as she tried not to look at the dancefloor, and the many people on it, having a great time.
Little did Lea notice the slender, blonde haired man approaching. Slowly, she looked over to see his hand extended toward her. Her eyes wandered from his hand up his arm and finally to his smiling face. Recognising who it was, the crush she'd had ever since her first year at high school, and one of the popular kids, she looked away quickly. But still, he took her hand in his and pulled her up. As he did so, she could feel her heart begin to race in her chest and tried hard not to let it show.
Out on the floor, she tried spinning into him, though it just ended with her crashing into him. His smile ever present, he smiled as he took her hands and led the way. Lea couldn't help but smile as she allowed her head to fall onto his shoulder, looking out at the other couples. At first she saw them, but then it was as if they were the only two on the floor.
The most magical moment was when he lifted her up, holding her firmly but gently by the waist as they gazed into one another's eyes, like something out of a movie. It only lasted a few seconds before Lea found her feet once again touching the ground, but for her it was enough. Because for her, it had felt like an eternity.
They danced some more before he dipped her low, and they had another of those eye lock moments. The smile on Lea's face now could not possibly get any wider, and suddenly, she didn't care what the others thought as they straightened again and she hugged him tight, kissing him just as the balloons fell from the ceiling.
