love to see you too dance it.” Mrs. Shay calls after me.
“I will.” I said with a smile. I dodge past people and made my way to the food table. Mr. Carb, one of mother bodyguards was stuffing his face with food. He was a bald headed African American about 27. When he saw me coming he put down his plate and straightens up.
“Hello Alex.” He said with a smile.
“Hello Mr. Carb, have you seen Eric?” I ask.
“He is right over there.” Mr. Crab points toward the entrance of the party. I look and see Eric laughing with a girl with strawberry blond hair. Eric then took her hand and led her out of the party, I knew where they were going.
“Thanks.” I said and then went after them.

I stop in the hall way in front of the door saying storage room. I hear moans and giggles. I then open the door to find the strawberry blond girl half naked and Eric with his pants down. They had their arms around each other kissing.
The girl opens her eyes and looks at me in shock. She picks up her dress she was wearing, trying to cover up herself. I roll my eyes. “Eric your mom wants us now.”
“Now, now?” Eric asks. Eric as dirty blond hair with eyes like his mother. He was well built and had a square chin; he’s really handsome.
“Yea Now, now.” I said.
Eric pulls up his pants and smoothed back his hair as if it was out of place. He then groans and turns toward me; I step back so he would have room to come out.
“Wait who is she?” Asks the girl. “She takes a hold of his arm.
“I’m his wife.” I said.
The girl eyes grew wide and then she runs past me saying. “I’m sorry.”
“Nice going Alex! Geez I really like her too.” Eric said tightening his belt.
“Whatever, come on your mom wants us to waltz.” I said.
“Grrrr….I hate the waltz and dancing.” Eric mumbles.
Tell me about it.
We spotted Mrs. Shay and mother talking happily at the ice sculpture of the swan.
“You ready?” I ask holding out my hand to Eric.
“Yup.” Eric takes my hand and we both put on fake smiles as we walk to our mothers.
Mother spotted us first. “Oh there you two are.”
“Yea, here we are.” Eric said.
“Oh good, now you two can dance.” Mrs. Shay said, she then turns and signal the band. They then began to play.
Eric leads me to the dance floor and the light goes dark. Once we got to the center of the room the spot light hits us. Eric then begins to lead me; for someone who hates to dance he was extremely good. I close my eyes as we dance and feel the music. When open my eyes again, the dance is over and everyone claps. Eric bows and I curtsy, we then smile brightly at the crowd that was watching us dance and then at each other. Once again Eric bows and I curtsy when I look up from my curtsy I saw someone way past the crowd. Someone in the way back learning against the wall in black t-shirt and torn jeans. He smiles at me flashing his white teeth.
I gasp.
Its Dex.
Chapter 5

“Alex? What’s wrong?” Eric asks me.
I smile nervously. “Ha-ha, nothing thought I saw something.”
“Oh, what?”
“ A bug but it was a grape.” I said.
“You two are so adorable together.” Said Mrs. Shay.
“Thank you.” I look to where Dex was at and he was gone. Maybe I was imaging he was here.
“Alex wants wrong. Your face is pale.” Eric asks me.
“I think the dance took too much out of me. “ I lied.
“Maybe you should go to bed.” Eric said.
“No, I think she’s fine.” I heard mother’s voice from behind us.
We all turn to see mother standing with a smile. “Aren’t you.”
I smile. “Yes mother is right. I’m fine really just need to sit for a while.”
Eric help me find a seat in the back of the room in a corner where people wouldn’t come to bother me. He then left to look for the strawberry blond.
