When We Love - Page 17/36

Softly he says, "Tanya and I went out last year, and we already decided then we were going to come to V-Ball together."

" Why are you trying to justify yourself? I already told you I don't care-at all."

He lets my arm go, and then he cups my face in his hands, forcing me to look up at him.

Seriously, he says, "Yes, you do care because you would not be acting like this otherwise."

I sigh exasperated "What do you want from me, Johnathan? Must I entertain you now because Tanya has gone home? You have ignored me the whole evening and now you are all over me."

" That's not fair," he retaliates defensively.

" Do you want to know what's not fair? You're not fair."

" I don't understand what you are getting at?" He says seriously.

He honestly seems unaware of his actions, or he is acting dumb, and I give in.

I know it would be better to move on because Johnathan spells trouble and heartbreak. I saw it that first day already, yet I started liking him - typical.

I include him in my conversations, forgiving him against my better judgement.

The last song of the evening is a slow song, and Johnathan drags me onto the dance floor. I want to protest, but I do not want to make a scene either.

He holds me very close to him, and I know I should resist, but he is so tempting and maybe he is talking the truth about Tanya.

I enjoy the way he holds his arms around my waist, and the way his blue eyes connect with mine. I am sure deep down, although he does not know it yet, he realizes I am the girl for him.

I notice Vincent staring at us, but then again everyone is looking at us.
