SHE BENT ME

The Dance

How sad is that?

"It's okay. You can have your own prom," I smiled at her.

She looks confused with what I said as I grab a black suit and pants in her wardrobe and wear it. It perfectly fits me. "I didn't know you're into suits, Nini,"

"It's for a woman, that's not a men's suit," she said in a monotone.

Nini has a lot of black clothes and dresses. I simply grabbed one black dress and hand it to her. "Wear this. A sweater and shorts is not a perfect outfit for a prom,"

She looked up with confusion on her face. "For what?" She looked at me from head to toe.
"Why are you wearing my --"

I cut her off. "No questions. Just wear it, this is the first part that I want you to do advised by your cute and lovely therapist. The one and only me," She rolled her eyes and grinned. I extended my hand to help her get up and she grabbed it.

"I'll undress here and change. Just don't look, okay?" She said.

I'll try, Nini. I'll try but damn, her mounds when we were in the hospital just flash-backed. Stop it, Lisa.

"Don't worry. I'm not interested in your body," I turned my back from her and heard her hissed. Now I'm smiling like an idiot.

"Done," she said and I turned my back to see the black dress on her. She's smiling at me right now. "How do I look?"

YOU'RE GORGEOUS FOR PETE'S SAKE!

Damn. She looks so beautiful and perfect. I laid my eyes on her from her head down to her legs. Her silky hair falls perfectly down her shoulders and back; Her feline eyes that caught me the first time we met; Her smile that makes my heart flutter.

Everything about her is just perfect.

I am so astounded by her ethereal beauty.

How can I not love you if you're looking like that?

"You look great," I can feel my body getting tensed around her.

Stop it, Lisa. You're gonna get yourself hurt again.

"What should we do?" she asked innocently.

I grabbed her hand and pulled her to the center of her room to have a huge space for this humble offering. I want her to have what it feels like to be in a prom. It might not be perfect but at least I am trying.

I put the Vinyl Disc of Can I Have This Dance - HSM3 on the Vinyl LP Record.

*Playing: Can I Have This Dance - HSM3*

(Intro)

"Can I have this dance, my lady?" she said using her hoarse voice and kissed my hand that send shivers to my skin.

I don't know what to say but it seems like she wants me to experience a dance in prom.

That's really sweet.

(Take my hand, take a breath) I placed my hand on her shoulder while my other hand is on her grasp.

(Pull me close and take one step) She placed her other hand on my waist and pulled me more closer to her, our bodies almost pressed.

(Keep your eyes locked on mine) Her brown doe eyes are already on mine onset of the dance while she's leading me into it.

She's so close to me.
