Can I Have This Dance (18)

Can I Have This Dance?

Chapter 18

The next morning I woke up still feeling kind of weird about what happened yesterday between me and Alex. The way his eyes made me get butterflies and made my stomach feel light. The way he pulled me tightly against him suddenly, before giving me a hug and rushing out. I hope I didn't actually scare him away like Clair said.

I think I did but I'll speak to him later.

-------------------------------------------------Tuesday - Saturday

The week felt like it went by slowly. I had three exams other than art from Wednesday - Friday and I'm glad that I've finished a majority of my exams. I had already taken a shower, brushed my teeth, gotten dressed and had breakfast and I was now just reading a random book off of my desk, on my bed.

KNOCK KNOCK

"Come in!" I shouted out to the person knocking on my door. The door opened to reveal Aaron.

"Hey," I said putting my book down and signalling for him to sit on my bed, by patting a spot.

He came and sat down in front of me staring at my book, before speaking.

"I had an idea, so that we didn't just have to sit in here and read," he joked while I lightly punched his arm for making fun of me.

"How about we invite everyone over and have a movie night," Aaron suggested

"Sounds like a good idea," I agreed, surprised that he randomly thought of this idea.

"You text the girls and I'll text the boys. But we need to go shopping and choose a film," he informed me

"Yeah, I'll go shopping and you choose a film," I instructed

"Alright, I'll ask Alex to go with you," he stated getting off my bed and walking towards the door.

"If he'll come with me," I muttered low enough for Aaron not to hear. Alex hadn't really been speaking to me properly after what happened on Monday.

"That's planned, so we better get on it, plus I'll clean the living room since I'm not doing much," he added

"You better, cause I'm not doing it," I joked laughing as he left my room.

I texted the girls

'Movie night at my house,

8pm, be there or be square.

Lol : )'

"Alex said he's on his way!" Aaron shouted outside my door. I guess he agreed then. I quickly looked for shoes to go with my dark blue shorts and grey, 'I'm Bossy' top. When I put on my grey flats, I looked for my purse and went downstairs. I had the song,

'Christina Milian - Whatever you want,' in my head, I don't know why, but I started dancing down the stairs and walked into the kitchen. REWIND!!! I slowly walked backwards and saw Alex laughing at ME probably.

"When did you get in here?" I asked confused

"Like five minutes ago," Alex answered smirking

"Where you singing a song in your head?" he asked

"Yeah," I said looking down as he chuckled at me.

"Ready to go?" he asked

"Yep," I answered before following him out.

--------------------------------------------------The Shop

"Alright, now lets go shopping!" I joked as I pushed the cart following behind Alex
