it’s really small, Cess. Come,
let’s go, you don’t even need to change, you are dressed just
right,” he says, rising from the chair with his hand
out.
“I didn’t agree, Showken.”
“Pleeeeeease,” he begs, pouting.
Yikes, he is fabulous and convincing. I guess I will go for just a
little while. I smile, and rise, shaking my head. Why couldn’t I
say no to him?
“Okay, I’ll go, but only for one
hour.”
“That’s enough time,” he says, and it
sounds like there is a meaning behind that. He places his hand in
mine, and we walk down the street to his house. I should not be
going. We reach the house and he leads me down the side, towards
the back. I’ve never been in this home before, from the outside it
looks amazing.
“Showken, I didn’t see any cars. Where
is everybody?” I ask, still holding his hand. What is going on?
This can’t be a party. I hear music, but where are the
people?
“Everyone is here, Cess, trust,” he
says, as we finally make it to the back yard. There is music
playing, and food laid out as if a ton of people are coming. Yet I
only see Gemi and Layern. That only makes four.
“I’m going home, I don’t know what
game you’re playing, but I’m not that type of girl.”
“Wait, I know what you are, and my
brothers and I would like to show you we are fun. Last time we
invited you, Draken asked you to leave, we are deeply sorry, that’s
all, Cess. We would never disrespect you. Never,” he says, in a
serious tone that makes me believe him.
“Okay, you don’t have to go to all
this trouble for me,” I say, looking around, they have these
beautiful colored drums around a circle.
“Yes, we do,” Gemi says, coming up to
me with a drink. I find myself blushing; this is way too much
attention going on.
“Cess, we love to dance, like you, we
are hoping you will dance, and we will play for you,” Showken says.
Layern is around the area with the drums. He has placed one in
front of him as Gemi walks over to do the same.
“This is one way we say sorry, Cess,
don’t take this from us,” Showken says, pulling me towards the
center of these drums. I feel excited. I hear the drums as they
begin to play, and my body just begins to move on its
own.
“I do like to dance,” I say, sipping
my drink.
“That’s the spirit Cess, feel the
music.” Layern says, smiling at me. I begin to dance, and forget
they are even there. I can’t believe they did all this for me. I
feel the beat and let my body go, turning and twisting my body in
all ways. I’ve been dancing for just a few minutes when the wind
blows and I smell him, instantly stopping my dance.
“Hello, Cess,” Draken says, moving
closer to me. I can’t move. He looks so sexy walking towards me.
Everything south is wet. I feel like a fool. I can’t keep my eyes
off him as he approaches me. He stands a foot away, just looking at
me, gliding his purple eyes over my body. My breasts instantly
harden when we make eye contact. We stare at each other without
speaking.
“I was invited,” I say, finding my
voice.
“Oh, well I like entertainment also,
Cess, besides, remember, you owe me something,” Draken says, coming
closer. I feel the need to kiss him, like in my dream. I want
him.
“I, I, umm, don’t owe you,” I say,
feeling really hot now. I should go.
“You owe me, Cess, and I want a dance.
I hear from my brothers you can dance. Now I want a private viewing
of your… skills,” he says, not stopping the eye contact.
“Draken, I’m sorry for coming to your
home, I will leave now,” I say, trying to get past him, but
instantly I feel his hands on my waist, holding me in
place.
“You will dance with my brothers, and
not dance with me? Why? I’m not as handsome as they are?” he asks,
looking into my eyes, searching. I see the other brothers are not
leaving this time. It’s as if they are waiting for the answer to a
question, more than just a dance.
