Chapter 4 Four

AMANDA

"So, Aldren invited you, am i right?" I asked him, I wish i could see what he looked like right now, Crystal said he looks good on his suit before leaving us both here earlier.

"Aldren?" I nodded as he said "is that your brother's name?"

"Yes, it is. And I bet he's the one who invited you to come tonight" I heard him chuckle.

"Before I forget, I have something for you" he held my right hand and gives it to me, it was a rectangular shaped box and I can feel the little ribbon in it "I hope you'll like it"

"Thank you, I didn't expect you'll bring me a gift, like we just met yesterday. But it feels like we've been friends for so long after that short conversation of ours, right?" I let out a little laugh and I heard him laugh too, his voice is so calming, like when you heart it laugh you feel safe in where you are.

"I don't really buy gifts to my friends but, I made you an exception"

"Really, why?" I asked "Wouldn't that be sound so unfair to them if I am an exception?"

"No, trust me" he said with a confident voice "Would you like to open it?"

"Really, right now? Would that be okay for you?"

"I don't mind, it's your birthday. You should make my gift as an exception too from opening it to in front of everyone, if you want too" he jokingly said those and laugh a little to his sentence, This guy, his interesting.

"Okay, I'm going to open it" I began to feel the box and touched the ribbon and slowly opens it and started to lift up the cover, he got the cover held for me. I was supposed to put my hand inside I stopped when he gave me a warning "What's wrong?"

"Just be careful in getting it"

"Why? Is there a bug inside?" I heard him laugh a little and I heard the sound of the cover being placed on the floor, he held my left hand where I held the rectangular box that he gave to me as a gift.

"There's no bug" he said "give me your other hand" I was hesitating at first thinking it might be a bug or maybe he pulled a prank on me, but he held my hand before I gave it to him. I felt a light object on my palm while he placed it slowly.

"It's, it's a bracelet"feeling it in my hands, I can tell that its beautiful because I can feel there are ornaments in it "You bought me a bracelet"

"Do you like them?"

"You know I can't even see, but after feeling it. I bet this bracelet is beautiful"

"How sure are you?"

"I trust you, that's how sure I am" there was silence after my response to him, until I felt that he got the bracelet and he helped me wore the bracelet on my right wrist, after that he held my right hand so tight, I heard his footstep one step closer to me.

"Amanda, may I?" he asked "May i dance with you?" Dance? Oh no

"Well, of course" I felt he held my hand and he put my right hand on his left shoulder and he held my left hand to his right "But there's one tiny problem"

"What's that?"

"I can't dance, please don't laugh at me. I don't know how to dance, I might step on your foot" I said until I heard a chuckle on my ears, I thought he would let go of my hand if I say those but he held me tighter.

"Don't worry" until I felt him behind my ear "Just follow my lead, you can put your other foot on the top of mine if you want to, that's fine with me, It's alright, I won't be angry" he said, I had no choice, so I put one foot on the top of his foot we start to move a little to swaying.

"See? nothing happened- Ah!" I accidentally stepped on one of his foot

"Sorry, I didn't mean to" I was confused, I sighed and did not know what to do and followed his movements again. This is embarrassing

"It's okay, you know when you stepped on me earlier. It's like an ant just bit me "

" You even managed to joke" I laughed at him and he snorted with a little laughter on what I said "Have you ever bitten by an ant before?"

"Nope, but I'm sure it's the same feeling as being bitten" I raised my brows a bit to his answer and we both laughed at it, He's funny. We've been swaying for a minute now and we stopped, he let go off of my hands and I stood still, there was an awkwardness in the atmosphere.

"Should we go?" he asked, we just danced for a minute. But I wish there is music to match the aura while ago. Out of nowhere, a song that is played in the venue far from us, but the music is can be heard on where we are both standing right now.

"Tyson I-" before I can finish my sentence, he cut me off, he suddenly held my hand and squeezed it lightly.

"Would you like to dance again with me?" he asked "It would be nicer to dance again when there's is music."

"Sure" he suddenly pulled me closer to him and he held my waist, my left hand is in his shoulders and he held my hand tightly.

"Great, just listen to the music and follow the way I move" He said whispering into my ear and I nodded right away. We started swaying by the time the music starts, the music was so calming and perfect

Sometimes yes, Sometimes no

Did he just sing? I asked myself, I heard him sing together with the music by my ear, I can feel he is looking at me at this state, I can feel him in front of me even if I'm blind staring at my blank face.

Sometimes it's right, Sometimes it's wrong. Moves forward, Moves backward

While he sang those words together with the music, I slowly adapted to the movement of the feet on where should I step which made me smile a little and proud of myself.

"Looks like someone is learning" he said with pride

"And looks like someone is not going to be bitten an ant anymore" I said jokingly hearing his little scoffed

"We'll see about that."

If your love is genuine, can you scream out loud and tell the world?

This time he didn't sing anymore but he held me more tightly and held both of my hands, confused on what he's going to do and whispered me to spin slowly while his hand is guiding me not to trip or fall, after a spin he held my waist again, and pulled me closer to him and he let me wrapped my arms around his neck and his hands are on my waist.

Look into my eyes, tell me how you feel

Don't want to lose you, cause I'm all ready to love you

"Is the song your favorite? You sang the lyrics so well" I said to loosen the awkwardness that I feel right now,

"You're right, am I a great singer?" I smiled and he told me to spin one more time but this time I stepped on some stone and lost my balance, before I could fall, he quickly held my waist to prevent me from falling. "Are you okay?"

"I'm okay" I could feel that we are so close to each other, I could feel his breathing, I can even feel our nose touched each other, he immediately loosens his grip on my waist and heard him sighed in relief, without him noticing he still held my right hand, and as we began to walk towards the venue, I felt his hands interlaced with mine.
