[/font][/size][/center] After letting his comment slip about him rather be with her he began to wonder if maybe he shouldn't have kept talking. Maybe he should have just went with it. See where it took them. It might have lead into something good. It was hard to say though. It might not have turned out well at all. That part was over now though, hopefully. His nervousness had took over him and he started to ramble a little. Stuttering as he did so. Not his best moment but it was better then totally making the conversation awkward. Maybe his nervous effort had helped things a little. He'd just have to wait and see what she had said. He looked away slightly when her comment had trailed off. He should have just stayed home tonight, this was all gonna blow up in his face. But then he heard her voice again. It appeared that she was going along with his little cover up. He felt as his head began to nod as he looked back down at her. Her next statement however made him smile and let out a slightly nervous laugh. The nervous laugh changed into his normal laugh though as he thought about what she had said. "Well I guess I know where you're going after this" He replied going along with her joke when she winked at him. Thankfully his little mess up hadn't ruined this. She had went along with it and saved him from a bit of embarrassment and awkwardness. The only thing was though when he had looked away he hadn't noticed the smile that she had given him when he did say that he wanted to be with her.
"Yeah, those exams sure were fun too" He said with a chuckle and shook his head slightly. Exam time had been crazy. Everyone had been running around fussing about how nervous they were or how they had forgotten to study or both. His memories however involved late nights, lots of coffee and many text books. Seth had studied so much for his exams. He was determined to pass. But not only did he want to pass, he wanted to pass with excellent grades. For as long as he could remember his grades were always high. A's, A+'s, the odd B. Those were what they always consisted of. He wasn't going to ruin his record either. He hadn't either. All of his studying had been put to good use as he passed his exams with flying colors. He had gotten one of the best marks of the class and he was proud of that. His parents had been thrilled with his marks too at the time. It had been a big accomplishment for him. But now there was something else that he needed to worry about. He had graduated with amazing grades but now he was in university. More tests, more projects, more exams. It was all the same but harder. Now he needed to work on keeping his grades the same, or higher if possible. The thought of it all was very stressful. He would definitely need to find something that could destress him although for now the only thing he needed to worry about was Stephanie which was why he pushed grades out of his mind and paid attention to her again.
It was good that he had too because what she said was very interesting. It was her reply to his comment about it being surprising on how they were agreeing a lot tonight. She had stated how opposites attract. He smiled again but this time the smile looked very sexy. "Yes they do.." He said in a similar way that she had. When she had said it she sounded a bit mysterious. He couldn't place whether she had meant it in a flirting way or a friendly way. It could have been taken either way. In his mind he took it in a flirting way but the way he had said it, well she would have to use her own opinion on it. She would have to figure it out on her own just like he had to. The next thing she said was really sweet. It meant a lot to hear that, especially since it had came from her. "Thanks" was all he said. It was enough. She would be able to tell how much he really appreciated it by looking in his eyes. His eyes said it all. Even if nobody else had realized it he was glad that she had. If she wasn't in his life he didn't know what he would do. After starting a friendship with her it was hard to imagine life without her. "Oh wow, so we are both going to be famous? We make a quite impressive pair then. Just make sure that all of the fame doesn't do to your head" He said the last part jokingly before taking another sip of his beer.
After taking a long sip of his beer he removed the bottle from his lips and looked at it. The bottle was half full now, or half empty. Depending on your opinion. He wasn't really sure what he thought. It was a silly thing to think about since it wasn't really important but it did cross his mind. In a way he almost felt like asking Stephanie her opinion on it. Just for a random question but then decided against it as he set the bottle back on the counter. There was something else on his mind right now. Something more important than asking that little question. Much more important. In his eyes anyways. They were at a club. People were dancing. It would be alright for them to dance to wouldn't it? Yeah, it should be. It's not like it was against the law or anything. Looking over at her he took a deep breath and then spoke, "So Steph, are you interested in dancing with the future famous Seth Jorden or what?" He asked and then got up off of the barstool so that he was now standing. "You had better accept the offer now because it's hard to say how long it'll last" He said and then held his hand out to her so that she would take it. Back when they had first met she had asked him to dance. Now he was the one doing the asking. It was pretty surprising since he wasn't that big on dancing either. It just wasn't something that he was that into yet she had got him dancing last time. He might as well do it again.

'When you look me in the eyes, i catch a glimpse of heaven' That look in his eyes, it portrayed nerves.She could tell he hadn't meant to let that comment slip which meant she was right, he did say it in the way she had taken it, but it was too late to react to it properly now.The moment had passed, if only she had clocked onto it sooner, or if he hadn't of tried to cover it up.But then again, she could just be thinking out of order and wishing he had meant it lovingly when he really didn't.It was too confusing for her to handle.She began to think of how she would have reacted if he didn't cover up his tracks, she probably would have smiled shyly, perhaps replied with something similar, that she would rather be with him than anyone else and that she missed him, she missed him like crazy.
Wondering if he caught the smile she sent in his direction when he made the statement she ran her fingers through her hair, maybe if he did see it he would have known what she was feeling, or at least had some sort of sense.In a way she wished he did see it but in a way she was glad he didn't, it all seemed too frustrating, too similar to how things were before and it was good in some senses but not all together, she was still insecure about the situation and although she had admitted to her feelings, well loosely admitted to her feelings she wasn't sure if she was truly ready to step out of her denial zone.She looked up to him and laughed along at what he said "you know me, cant resist a sexy woman like that" she replied still joking as she rolled her eyes at herself, it was funny that she could be so out of character with him, she could make those comments and it was all fun and games for them, she loved it.
Stephanie gave a smile at his statement, of course he was being sarcastic but it was strange to hear the word 'exam' and 'fun' in the same sentence without being separated by the word 'not'.Exam time had been crazy, she had put all of her focus on the fashion project she was working on that all of her other subjects didn't seem to matter to her, of course when the exams were coming up that was when it hit her, that she needed to really work hard to get good grades, because even if she did pass her design class she still needed good grades for math,science and English to get into the university of Miami, it was what was expected because it was such a highly rated school.But she pulled it off, B's and the odd c here and there and she was pretty damn proud of herself too."thats easy for you to say Mr 'i get A's in everything i do'" she joked and stuck her tongue out.
Upon hearing his reply she returned his sexy smile as she raised her eyebrows a little, happy that he went along with what she said, because the way he replied sounded sort of flirty and mysterious just like the tone she had settled with, she didn't say anything else though, just shared looks with him for a while, that moment of silence..well silence between the two of them, clearly the background music, chatting and general noise wasn't silence.Nodding when he said his thanks she didn't feel the need to say anything, the look in his eyes said everything really, all of his gratitude and happiness shone through and she couldn't help but smile.She had to look away to stop herself from falling again, metaphorically of course, her eyes settled on her glass as she laughed gently "Yeah, we will rock the public completley...oh and too late..im already planning the be the most vain famous bitch out there" she teased with a laugh.
The sound of his glass bottle hitting against the wood seemed to distract her, it was actually a miracle that she heard the noise, but it was all due to the fact that it happened to be during a song change.She looked in his direction sensing that he was going to say something , when he asked his question she smiled and put one hand to her heart "oh id be honored to.." she replied sincerely as she grasped her glass and lifted it to her lips, she drank the last few sips of her martini all in one and then slid the glass over to where he placed his bottle.It was quite the role reversal which was funny, she remembered when they first met and she did the asking, now it had flipped, he was the one wishing to dance with her.She stood up and brushed herself off before taking his hand, she intertwined their fingers loosely as she took the lead and directed him to the dance floor.

[/font][/size][/center] Seth looked down at her. Now he was not regretting the fact that he had kept talking. There was a small part of him that did yet a bigger part that didn't. The reason why he wasn't regretting it was because if he hadn't kept going then he would not have been able to hear this part of the conversation. They had loads of time to have meaningful moments like that later. They had as long as they needed but they didn't for this joke. That other woman might leave soon or they might get off topic. He enjoying this because it amused him. It amused him at how he could get Stephanie in such a joking mood. Especially on this subject. As he heard her next comment, another part to this joke he chuckled and nodded as of course he was going to go along with it. "I know, I'm actually surprised that you aren't all over her right now. You have some pretty good self-control going on here" He spoke once again using a very teasing tone before laughing quietly at what he had said. It was so much fun to joke around like this with her. Really there weren't many people that he could talk like this with. Sure he would just around with everything that he was friends with but still, this was different. She made it seem so much easier. Like it didn't matter what he said, he could just joke and not have to worry because she wouldn't take anything seriously unless he used a serious tone.
The thought of exams again was well weird. He remembered everything that had happened at the time so well yet now it seemed like such a long ago. But it really wasn't. It was only a little while ago that they had went through all of that stress. He was glad that they were over with now. He had been extremely glad when he had passed in his final exam. After that day he had slept well again. All of the stress had slowly left his body. The only thing that had been on his mind after that were his scores. He remembered how much he wanted to know his grades, how he worried about doing badly or messing up on simple answers. That was one thing that he hated. Messing up on simple answers. It was horrible. Like you have a big test, you psych yourself out and then totally mess up on something really easy. You get the test back after wards and feel foolish for being so careless. Or at least that is how Seth always felt when that happened to him. Sure it sounded geeky but who cares. Grades were important and at least he cared. Some guys didn't care at all, so did some girls. Some figured that they could just marry someone rich, that their life would be perfect. Nothing bad would happen to them, things would be great. That's not what happened in the real world though. Maybe in some chick flick but not here. In the real world you needed good grades and a plan on what you were going to do. You couldn't just rely on money for everything. It was helpful but you needed other things too.
When she stuck her tongue out at him a smirk appeared on his face. "Actually I believe it was Mr 'I get A+'s in everything I do'" He said jokingly of course. He wasn't actually bragging he was just teasing her. There was no trick to his success in school. He just studied and made sure that he knew the material well. Steph knew that, she also knew that if she ever needed any help with her own studies that he was there at her services. He had told her that back in high school. There had been some times back when they had been dating where they had done homework together and he had helped her. After a little bit of his help she had even improved a bit. Seth had found that impressive. After speaking he noticed that she had returned his sexy smile. Her smile looked even more amazing though. The other day on their msn conversation he had been paying her many compliments but right now he couldn't even conjure up one that could due justice to the smile she was giving him right now. No words seemed to describe just how amazing she looked right there. Everything seemed almost perfect. Or at least that's all he could think during the short silence that had went on between them. But hearing her next comment it definitely broke the silence. He cracked another smile and shook his head, "Oh dear, this will most likely be interesting then" He said, replying to her comment about how she planned on being the most vain famous bitch out there.
Standing up after suggesting that they should dance he didn't regret his question. Some more courage had popped up inside of him. It felt good. He was loosening up a bit around her. His confidence was becoming more and more like how it use to be. It felt like it was boosting with each second as he waited for her reply. Seeing her smile he watched as she put her hand to her heart and spoke. "Well alright then, good" He said a smile on his face also as he watched her finish her drink. Feeling as she accepted the offer of his hand he felt himself smile even more as she intertwined their fingers. Sure she had intertwined the loosely but still, that was a lot like old times and it felt great. Walking out with her onto the dance floor, still hand in hand gave him a sense of pride. He was proud of himself. Proud that he had taken a little control and asked her to dance. That he was becoming more confident and everything else. Thoughts of his conversation with Nate began to float up from the back of his mind. Nate had kept telling him that he should just talk to Steph about his feelings. That it was what he needed to do. Seth had agreed and after a bit more convincing from the other young man and Kayley he was sure that he would tell her. The only thing he needed to do was find the correct moment.
When would that be? That was the question now. He couldn't tell her quite yet just because it was a fast pace song and it didn't feel right to him. Maybe during a slower song, during one where they would be holding each other closely as they danced. Or if that didn't work maybe after wards. He would find some time to tell her he needed to. But for now he should just have fun. Finally reaching the dance floor he looked down at her, "Now I must warn you, I haven't gotten any better since the last time we had done this" He stated with a slight grin before he began to dance with her. Moving to the beat of the song. The last time he remembered telling her how bad he was at dancing. It was funny because he still felt that he wasn't good at it but that wasn't stopping him from dancing with her. While dancing he realized that they had gotten pretty close as they moved, a thought dawned on him. "Hey I don't mean to pry into your private life but is there anyone that might get angry if they were to walk in and see us like this?" He asked, "I mean like some guy that might really hurt me? I only ask this for safety reasons though" Okay so in a way he wanted to pry a bit into that part of her life. He was curious. Did she have a boyfriend? Was some guy going to like hunt him down and beat the crap out of him or what? Surely should could answer that question. He had thrown out that last part as a bit of a joke to make it seem like he wasn't incredibly interested, just slightly curious.

'When you look me in the eyes, i catch a glimpse of heaven' It was actually funny that they had continued this joke so much, but that was the thing about conversations with Seth, they just seemed to flow continuously and she felt nothing but happiness in the midst of it all.The thing was it seemed they could have the same conversation over and over and she wouldn't get bored, he entertained her and hopefully he felt the same.She laughed at his comment "you are really loving this right now aren't you?" she questioned, it was only right..a typical guy thing.Self control? Yeah she had some good self control going on but not in the joking sense this time and not in the concept they were talking about, she had good self control at the moment around him.He was the one thing she couldn't seem to get over and she was fighting against doing something stupid so little did he know that his comment was true.She just smiled it off though, shot him that familiar cheesy grin as he spoke, he didn't need to know what she was thinking, not just yet anyway.
Stephanie watched him after she made her joking statement, it seemed like he was really thinking about exam time and it made her mind go back too.It would have been so much better if she had someone to study with before them, but exams just happened to be after all of the drama.The drama that cost her to lose Seth and Kasey the two people that would have usually helped her with things like that.Of course she had Harlow but it wasn't the same, not that she was putting her best friend down it was just she knew if Seth had of helped her with the exams she would have really focused, put her head down and got amazing grades, not that her grades were bad she just wanted better.Shaking her thoughts off she realized there was nothing she could do about it now anyway, what was done was done and there was no going back.
When he finally spoke she rolled her eyes in that familiar teasing way as she stuck her hand out as if she were pretending to push him away."Oh look..its Mr Bighead..what happened to Vanity?" she asked with a smile as she lowered her arm.She began to really study his facial expression, right then and there he seemed to be doing the same to her and she felt like the silence was really comforting, like the few seconds they spent just staring at each other were perfect , even though most people would complain about silence in a conversation she was more than happy about it.
As she took the lead and walked to the dance floor thoughts kept popping into her mind, flashbacks of when they were in high school and they had their first dance, it made her smile, a big, happy smile though she would never admit to the reason why she was smiling and of course she didn't need to, it was more of a secret smile because she had her back to him.The sense of pride seemed to hit her as she stopped still in the middle of the dance floor, she was here with him, the man she still loved but was afraid of, it seemed so strange.The blonde turned around to fully face him, unlocking their fingers for a second so they could dance properly, the bright lights skimmed across his face every few seconds or so making his beautiful eyes stand out, she looked up to him as if he was her hero and gave him a stunning smile at his remark."Then i refuse to dance with you" she teased as she lightly poked his shoulder.
Without saying anything else she began to dance with him, moving her body to the beat of the music and to the movement of his body.It felt so amazing to dance with him, to know that they were inches apart and at any moment his hand could touch hers, his body could dance against hers.Anticipation shot through her veins.Stephanie edged closer to him, moving her hips in his direction as she stared into his eyes.Hearing his question she gave a small smirk , was he interested in the dating part of her life? now this was interesting, he obviously cared if she had a boyfriend which made her feel a sudden rush of happiness."yes, many big, strong, body builder type men...ive been getting around in my spare time" she teased with a wink, before long she caved in and shook her head as she raised her arms and placed them around his neck "No silly..theres no-one else" she then added cheekily.No-one else? she wasn't even sure what that meant herself.

[/font][/size][/center] Joking around was something that Seth loved. It was all like a big game to him. A big game that he was the master of. He could joke around with basically anyone of his friends. But like a game there is always someone that you enjoy playing with the most. A person who is equally as good as you and is a bit of a challenge to keep up with. Everyone had someone like that and in his life that person was none other then Miss Stephanie Devine. She was full of comebacks and just as good as joking around as he was. When they got started they could go on for hours and never get bored. It could just keep going and for as long as it lasted it would be entertaining to him. She could make him laugh and smile and just be generally happy and in a good mood. From the way she never seemed to get tired of it, it almost felt like she enjoyed it as much as he did. He wasn't for sure if that was how she felt but from her actions that is what he always went with. Hearing her reply he nodded with a big grin on his face, "Yes, trust me I really am" He said as he looked down at her, the grin still plastered on his face.
Even though he had made another comment to go with the one she had made about him getting so many good grades he still felt himself thinking back to that time. Back when the exams were going on. That was a bad time in his life. The exams had happened after all of the drama. The drama between him, her, Krissy and Kasey. During that time he had lost both Steph and Krissy. Two of his best friends and the girl that he loved. He had gotten totally depressed. Sometimes he wouldn't eat, wouldn't sleep, wouldn't get out of bed. He just stayed in his room. His parents had been really worried about him at the time. They were scared that he was going to get really sick and have to go to the hospital. That he would have to stay in a special unit because of how depressed he was. The thing that made them overreact and get so scared was that depression ran through his family. It was possible for him to get it but then when exams came around he tried to put everything out of his mind and just focus on his studies. That was exactly what he had done, it hadn't totally worked because there were times when she'd come into his mind but his parents believed that he was better so that was good. Those unhappy thoughts left his mind when she teased him again, "Vanity is on vacation, Big head is just replacing him until he returns, which don't worry he will" Seth said as he watched her pretend to push him away. Thankfully she had said something otherwise the thoughts of exams would have still been on his mind.
Reaching the center of the dance floor Seth blocked out everyone else that was there and just focused on the young woman in front of him. Stephanie. She was all he cared about at the moment and basically in general too. He was with the girl he was in love with. The girl that had changed his life. After meeting her he was never the same and knew that he would never be. She had been such an impact in his life, it was a good thing though. She had been a good influence, sure she would never think that she was but it was true. She had made him more confident, she boosted his self-esteem. It felt great. When she unlocked their fingers and turned to face him he smiled. But when she gave him that smile, that stunning smile he felt his own smile grow. He also felt like his knees were going weak. That smile just made him melt. He had put on a surprised face when she said that she refused to dance with him to mask how he was feeling but it surprised him that he didn't just fall to the floor when she had poked his shoulder. If she had used any more force he probably would have.
Removing his shocked face when she began to dance with him. Okay so he had thought that the first time they had danced together was amazing. It was nothing compared to this. Maybe it was because of all of his feelings for her. Back then he had, had a big crush on her but now it was huge, it was love. She was always on his mind and now that they were here together. Their bodies could touch at any minute and no one could make a fuss about it because they were just dancing. Sure he wanted to do more with her but for now this was great. As he continued to dance with her he let his gaze wander from her face down to the rest of her body, watching as she moved. But then when she began to respond to his comment he looked back to her face. He was nervous about the answer but hoped that it was in his favor. Hearing the first few words that she said he felt his face began to droop into a frown but then he saw the wink. He saw the wink and felt as her arms were placed around his neck. That felt good, not just the fact that her arms were around his neck but the fact that she was only teasing him. The smile appeared on his face again when she spoke once more. He was glad to hear her comment but what exactly had she meant. No silly..theres no-one else no-one else. He was curious about it but didn't go into that further since he didn't want to seem to interested in her dating life even though he actually was. "Ahh well I'm okay with that.. i'd rather not get beat up tonight. It doesn't seem that appealing" He said while dancing, "Although you would probably enjoy seeing two guys fight over you" He added the last part jokingly as he inched a bit more closer to her and placed one of his hands on her waist while continuing to move to the beat of the song.

'When you look me in the eyes, i catch a glimpse of heaven' Stephanie couldn't help it now, she had to smile at him.It was the fact that he wasn't even denying it now, he was just plain admitting that he was loving it and she felt like saying it too, that she was loving this, maybe not in the same sense as him but the conversation was pretty much the highest entertainment she had received in a while and it was all down to him.The one person that could make her smile no matter what, even when she was completely pissed off with him like she had been when they first met again he had managed to bring her back to being normal, he definitely had some kind of superpower or strength or something along those lines."Well then i need to find me a big, sexy man to reverse this joke around a little don't i?" she questioned with that teasing glint in her chestnut brown eyes.
Always the joker.Was all she could think of, he still had a comeback for when she questioned his alter egos, she began to think about if there would ever be a time that she could say something and not get a remark from him, where she could have the upper hand in the conversation.Then again that hadn't happened to either of them yet, they were probably both just too stubborn in the joking sense to not let the other person get the better of them."Good because i prefer Mr Vanity" she replied with a smile , she then laughed at how many nicknames she had given him over the time they had recently met again, he had been a chief, bighead, Mr vanity had returned."Although i think my favorite was Mr sweetheart, ya know..the one that made me smush?" she then said with a small giggle as she thought back to that msn conversation they had a couple of nights back.
Perfection best described tonight.The fact that it was just the two of them with no distractions seemed to make everything worth while.It began to make her think about everything, maybe what happened between them in high school was a test, a test to see if they were really meant to be, because it was too strange that they had ended up at the same university, that she had lost all sense of bitterness and poison the moment he began to joke with her.The only thing she hadn't lost was the fear,worry and anxiety of what could happen between them, sure she wanted it to happen but could she really cope with it? Looking up to him as she danced she smiled shyly, he was so handsome, so sweet..everything she could have wished for and more.Maybe this night would be that night, that perfect moment.
Steph began to ponder upon exactly what she meant by her statement.No-one else? Because that pretty much sounded like Seth was her boyfriend and as of this moment he wasn't, she had said it like she would never be unfaithful to him..yet they weren't even together.It was confusing because the words just sort of slipped out, she hadn't even built up enough time to ask him the same question.Though one look into his puppy dog eyes sent the thoughts away, he could take it however he wanted to take it all that mattered was that they were dancing now, so close, her hands locked around his neck showing that she didn't want to let go."I would actually really enjoy it, but only if shirts were removed and there was rain involved" she replied cheekily with another wink.Talking about this made her wonder if he had anybody she should be worrying about, of course she didn't want to admit her feelings but if he had a girlfriend and she happened to walk in the chances were she would think they were up to something..it was only fair to ask..on behalf of this other girl..right? "So what about me, am i safe tonight?" she then asked like it was just an ordinary question, of course she was really interested but she played it cool.

[/font][/size][/center] Well then i need to find me a big, sexy man to reverse this joke around a little don't i? Hearing her make that comment made him laugh. She definitely was enjoying this joke. There was no doubt about it. If she hadn't been enjoying it she probably would've stopped it a long time ago. He was glad that she hadn't though. It was amusing. Especially the last few comments about her and that other woman. But now she was talking about finding some sexy guy. Seth couldn't have that now could she. Alright sure she was joking but still, the thought of her being with some other guy made him feel jealous. Well he didn't mind her having guy friends, like Jamie and that Danny guy she had spoke of when they first met again but to think about her being in a romantic situation with someone else, that was what annoyed him. Finally figuring out what to say to her earlier comment he shook his head. "No, you're not allowed to go looking for one." He stated but then began to continue, "I say this because the only sexy man that you get to hang around with is me" He added smoothly with a charming smile and then gave her a playful wink.
"As do I" He stated when she said how she preferred Mr. Vanity. He loved that alter ego. It was the first nick name that she had given him. He remembered it so well. It had been getting late that night and he had logged onto his computer hoping to find something to amuse him. As soon as he signed on msn she began talking to him. Teasing him that it was passed his bedtime. That was how it all started. After that they continued talking and he said a few things which sounded arrogant. That was when she called him Mr. Vanity. After that they decided to call her the blonde vixen however they felt that sexy thing would have worked too. The nicknames had stuck. It was hard to believe how long they had lasted. He was glad though, he had even kept his msn name changed to Mr. Vanity. That was one of his favorite msn conversations, but then she brought up some other things. She brought up Mr. Sweetheart and smush which was a word she had come up with in their latest msn conversation. A smile appeared on his face, "Ah Mr. Sweetheart, his appearances are always nice. I believe he was first introduced back at communitea. If memory serves" He said as he looked down at her.
Her bringing up Mr. Sweetheart caused him to take a trip down memory lane. The first time she had called him that was on their date. It was their first date actually. They had went out to eat at communitea. It had been a great day and he had had a wonderful time with her. They had an interesting chat and shared some food. That day seemed so long ago. Almost like a dream. He wanted to think more about it but then figured that he shouldn't. After all that was in the past. He should just focus on the now, and the future. Keeping a kind smile on his face as he looked down at Stephanie he began to speak, "Speaking of smushing.. I think I owe you something.." With that he leaned forward and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Pulling away he looked into her eyes. "I just wanted to thank you.. what you said was really sweet. I wanted to let you know that I appreciate it" He said using a soft tone. There was no Mr. Vanity there. It was pure sweetheart. He wasn't really sure if it was the right thing to do but right now he wasn't listening to his head, he was listening to his heart. Besides what he had done wasn't that bad. It was just a small kiss on the cheek.
As a slight silence appeared between them Seth wondered what she was thinking about. They were still dancing but she seemed to be in deep thought. Since he didn't know what might be going through her head he began to think of the night they had first danced. Tonight was similar to that night in so many ways but then it was also different. It was different because they were already friends. The first time they didn't know each other at all. Well Seth had known her but that was just because she was one of the most popular girls in school. Everyone knew her. It was similar though because it was the same setting. They were at a club, had done some drinking and now they were dancing. It was just like last time. He wondered if it would turn out like before. He didn't want her to get wasted again, that was the last thing he wanted. He just wondered if like last time they would share an actual kiss. Feeling her arms locked around his neck and hearing her voice caused him to snap out of his daze. He chuckled a little at her response. "Are you saying that you want to see me wet and shirtless?" He questioned with a flirty tone of voice as he raised his eyebrow slightly. As they continued to dance he heard her question. Now she was wondering if he was dating someone. It seemed like she was interested in his dating life too. That made him feel good inside. "You have nothing to worry about because you are safe" Seth replied, answering her question as he looked down at her.

'When you look me in the eyes, i catch a glimpse of heaven' The demanding tone he used made her do a double take of him, of course she kept the smile on her face because she knew he was still joking but it sounded like he was a little jealous? Nah he couldn't be could he? if he was that was pretty amazing though, she suddenly felt quite proud of herself for bringing up this 'sexy guy' situation, that evil side of her sparked up inside as she gave a smirk and continued to listen to what he was saying.Rolling her eyes again at him she couldn't help but laugh, his confidence had shot sky high now and he wasn't afraid to bring 'Mr vanity' out to play."oh come on now, you big ball of arrogance you" she giggled and shook her head "if i want to find another sexy man i will thank you very much Seth Alexander Jorden" she said in a dominating tone, she used his full name as if she were telling him off though she kept smiling.
When he said he also preferred Mr vanity she gave a smile, it was amazing just how long these nicknames had stuck, it had been near enough two years possibly edging more towards three and that conversation they had on msn that one fortunate night had stuck with her forever, as had the many memories she shared with this man.She didn't usually have the best memory, she was one of those girls that sometimes forgot what she had for breakfast and such never mind remembering things from years back but special memories like the times she shared with Seth they were embedded in her brain forever."Oh my gosh yeah.." she replied excited that he remembered when Mr sweetheart made his first appearance "That was an amazing day, i mean i laughed practically all throughout that dinner..and when you kept teasing me..and my hat!" she laughed, she remembered it so clearly because they had taken pictures, pictures that she still had along with other pictures of them and every other thing Seth had given to her.
Thoughts kept coming into her mind, thoughts of the two of them, everything they had shared, the nicknames, conversations, hugs, kisses, holding hands..practically every moment of their relationship spun through her mind in one fast motion.Before she could try and snap herself out of it he did it for her, beginning to speak she looked up into his eyes.Seth owed her something? What was it? She raised one eyebrow in confusion but before she could say anything she noticed him moving in closer, his face becoming more and more clear as his amazing smell crept toward her.'Oh my god' was all she thought, other than that her mind went blank, her heart began to race and she felt as her eyes subconsciously closed when his lips pressed against her cheek.The moment seemed to last forever, she wished time would just stop.When he pulled away and began to talk her breathing became a lot heavier, she became so nervous it was unreal, her heart pounded, her mind was spinning.
Voices in her head called out, telling her not to freak out but she couldn't fight it, she smiled, a huge noticeable smile when he looked at her again.All she could do was stand in silence when he spoke, her hands shaking as her cheeks turned a more than visible shade of red, not pink, red..a full blush.Her eyes locked to the ground as she swallowed hard "It came from the heart" she replied softly, finally able to use her words.She couldn't even come up with anything else to say because she was taken over by a huge gush of emotions.As they danced her body seemed to long for him to get closer, she wanted him so bad yet she didn't.Why did she have to be so bipolar in this case? She laughed at his flirty statement, he definitely had more confidence now as he played along with this "Well maybe thats what i was saying, but maybe not..you will just have to stay in suspense" she replied as she took that final step closer to him making their bodies practically press against each other."Good.." was all she said when he mentioned he wasn't dating anyone, her strong, sharp tone showing that she truly meant it.

[/font][/size][/center] After speaking he right away realized that his voice hadn't just sounded demanding but it had a hint of jealousy to it. He wondered if she had picked up on it. Seth had no idea but he knew that if she did she'd probably use it to her advantage. Not in a really bad way, it was more like that would put up her own confidence and she most likely tease him about it later on. That was a typical Stephanie move. It was just how she acted. He was the same way. If he found out she was jealous or something like that he would tease her. But then he tried to drive his jealousy out of his mind as she began to spoke. He was about to reply to her first comment but decided against it as he heard the second one. She had used his full name in that one and it caught his attention. He shook his head, "Stephanie Madeline Devine don't give me back sass, no other sexy men for you. I forbid it, I am forbidding!" He said using the same dominate tone and pointed a finger at her when he spoke. It felt a little funny because the way he had just spoke to her sounded like he was a father, trying to enforce some sort of rule. "But back to that other comment, I may be a big ball of arrogance but I'm lovable aren't i?" He added with a more joking tone as he slowly moved his arm back to its original position so that he wasn't pointing at her anymore.
Seth laughed quietly when she spoke, she sounded so excited as she began to remember back to that day. "I know and I totally agree, it was awesome" He said with a nod of his head before listening as she began to list off some memories from their dinner. Seeing that she had remembered things just as well as him made him smile. He found it amazing how he had been able to remember all of the things that he had done with her but for her to remember them also. He thought that was pretty cool. When she mentioned her hat his smile grew. The memory of him first arriving and pushing her hat down came to mind. He had pushed it down jokingly to mess it up. "I remember, you looked cute with that hat on" He said, "Although I think the best thing was your face after I told you what calamari was. That was priceless" Seth added with a slight grin. That day they had shared a meal of linguine noodles with Alfredo sauce and calamari. That was his favorite meal but at the time when they were eating it Stephanie had no idea what calamari actually was. He had said that he wasn't going to tell her until after wards which he did. He told her exactly what it was, squid rings. She didn't even believe him at first. It was hilarious. Her facial expression was the best, it was a Kodak moment. He wished that he could've gotten a picture of it.
As he kissed her cheek everything felt back to normal. It just felt natural, like it use to. Except he wished that she would've done what she use to do. There had been many times when he would lean in to kiss her cheek but she would move her face quickly so that his lips would meet hers instead of her cheek. But he wasn't complaining right now. He had gotten so close that he could smell the sweet scent of her perfume. He was enjoying every second of it. Right here, right now, it was one of those moments that you wished would last forever. Yet you knew that it couldn't. He had to pull away, which he did. But it didn't stop him from staring into her eyes as he spoke. She looked so nervous now, like he had felt earlier but now he was over it. He had spent all week being nervous over this night. It was time that he got rid of it and thankfully he had. Seeing her face he noticed that she was blushing. Her face was a red, blush. It made him smile but he didn't say anything about it. She already knew what his thoughts about her blushing were. He had told her in their msn conversation. "I know.." He said replying to her comment still using a soft tone.
While dancing the only thing he could think about was how much he wanted her. That probably wasn't good. His hormones were just rushing through his body, he wanted to kiss her. He wanted to kiss her with tons of passion. To be able to kiss her and not have to care about what anyone else thought. To be able to kiss her and her to kiss him back with the same intensity. That was all he wanted. He needed to control himself though. He had already kissed her cheek, he couldn't go further. Seth heard as she spoke but was slightly distracted because she had moved closer. Their bodies were basically pressing against each other. That made him want her even more but he knew that he had to hide it although it probably showed in his face or eyes. Seth shook his head and laughed a little trying to clear his mind,"But you know that I hate suspense" He said but then at her next comment he heard the strong, sharp tone. She was really glad that he wasn't dating anyone. The tone showed that she had meant it. But why? Wait, maybe Nathaniel was right. Maybe she still did like him. The fact of her liking him also seemed to make some of her actions more understandable. The thought of the possibility of her liking him rushed through his mind, it made him not even notice that the song was slowing down. Then it ended. The only thing that made him notice was that other people had stopped dancing so he did too. Now they were both standing there, in the same position. There bodies were still touching, and her arms were around his neck. That was when the next song began to play. This time it wasn't fast at all. It was a slow song. Everyone around them began to pair off and as this was going on Seth placed his other hand onto Stephanie's waist. After that he began to move slowly as even more flash backs hit him from that night at cbgb.

'When you look me in the eyes, i catch a glimpse of heaven' Partly because of his tone and partly because of the way he pointed his finger at her like a small child.Those were the things that really made her laugh at the moment, it was like the two of them were chopping and changing roles each second, they had both played the 'parent' and the 'child' the person that was doing the telling off and the person that was receiving it.To be honest she found it quite exciting and quite funny, the fact that they were practically being other people to twist into the joke was fun to do..once again it seemed like Seth was the only person she could do this with, she could let her immaturity fully flow out into the open around him.The way he replied using her full name made a smile crack on her lips, he had copied how she had addressed him and just to hear him say her whole name seemed to give her this unfamiliar feeling, a good one at that.
"I'm forbidden!" she exclaimed as she placed one hand near her mouth like she was truly shocked "Oh whatever will i do with all of my sexual tension?" she questioned as she gave a smirk.After making that comment she had a flirty glint in her eye, she put her arm back to its original position and gave a smile at his comment, lovable? he sure was but she wasn't going to flat out admit that to him, not just yet anyway."psh..there you go again..thinking you are amazing..when clearly i am superior" she said in a joking tone of arrogance as she flipped her hair over her shoulder.
Before she knew it he had complimented her again, telling her she looked cute in the hat she wore on their date back in high school, she couldn't help but blush again..man he was making her blush a lot recently, his sweet words and kind nature were too much for her to handle at the moment, she had forgotten what it was like to be treated so nicely.She parted her lips ready to thank him but she decided against it, she gathered he would see the gratitude in the smile and flustered cheeks.Once he brought up that memory she immediately had a disgusted look on her face, it was near enough the same look she had gave him back then..of course she had that look though, just the thought of what Calamari actually was made her frown upon it in disgust, sure it was nice to eat but she hated the idea of what it was."Oh god, that was terrible...i didn't believe you at first did i, eurgh i haven't wanted to eat it again since..you meanie" she remarked still keeping a disgusted tone.
Hearing his sincere tone made her smile linger for a few seconds longer than intended.He knew what she said was from the heart and he knew because he understood her more than anybody else, more than her own brother, more than her best friends in some cases.She kept replaying the way he kissed her cheek in her mind, the slowness of his move, the way he stayed there a little longer than usual but the one thing that kept still in her mind was the fact that she couldn't kiss him properly, like she used to..whenever he attempted to kiss her cheek she would quickly move her head and press her lips against his, if only she could have done that there..maybe she should have..but maybe it was best she didn't? Every time something like this happened between them, a compliment, a kiss on the cheek, even a brief touch she would get the typical angel and devil on the shoulder routine questioning whether she should go for it or not.
Stephanie felt her whole body go into a state of frustration, but not the bad kind it was more of the lust frustration, because she wanted him, she really did and she could feel the heat between them mingling, the air between them getting thick, it was amazing.Her eyes were locked to his and every time they moved to the beat their bodies would touch which sent shivers across her skin."Well then maybe I'm trying to tease you" she replied not even taking note of what she was saying as she couldn't concentrate properly, she was in that moment with him, the moment where conversation just seemed to flow and she didn't care what she said as long as some words got out.Snapping out of it when the song ended she looked around noticing a slower song beginning to play,people began pairing off and she looked up to him, it was only right that they danced this song together, they were already dance partners, with her hands around his neck she felt his strong,masculine hands touch her waist.Familiar feelings crept inside her body as she trailed her eyes up his figure to his face and began to dance slowly.

[/font][/size][/center] Seeing her shock face caused him to laugh some more. Being with her, it almost seemed that a smile couldn't be dragged off of his face. It was almost like the smile was permanate. It was the same way with the laughter. She never failed to get a chuckle out of him. It almost felt like he couldn't stop. It was hard to believe how long this joke had been going on. He wasn't even sure how it had gotten started. He tried to think back as he continued to laugh. Oh right, it had started because when they had first found each other she had walked straight into him. After that they had began to joke around about how it would've been bad if she would've walked into some bigger women. It had changed so much from that yet it wasn't getting dull. Not one bit. It was still amusing to him and by the way she was laughing along with him he knew that she was still enjoying it also. "Yes! Yes you are!" Seth said nodding as he spoke but then shrugged when he heard her next comment. "I'm not sure.. since you aren't allowed to find other men i suppose you are stuck with me" He replied jokingly of course as a smug grin crept over his face. "Well you are superior to me in one way, you have the looks. But then I have the charm. I suppose we do make a good team together though." He simply said, replying to her comment.
Watching her closely after he had spoke he gave a gentle smile when she began to blush. He seemed to be dishing out a lot of compliments lately. That was the one thing that he wasn't holding back on anymore. It was good progress really because earlier he had been scared to speak his mind on stuff like that but now he wasn't. If only he could make more progress in telling her about his true feelings. To elaborate and explain how much he had really missed her, how much he hated everything that had happened with the kiss and the most important thing about how he was sorry, how he wanted her back. But alas he was still to nervous to do that but with the way things were going it might eventually slip out. It was hard to say. His mind drifted on the thoughts of how cute she looked when she blushed. She always made that same shy face but he never got tired of seeing it. But then the gentle smile changed into a big grin as he began to laugh once he saw her disgusted face. "Well you were the one that wanted to know what it was!" He said still laughing as she called him a meanie, "It's not like I could lie about it, but come on who cares what it actually is. It's tasty" Calamari was so good. He loved it. Sure it was weird that it was actually squid rings but like it mattered. It was delicious therefore Seth didn't care what it was.
What was that saying? You don't appreciate what you have until it's gone. That was it. Back in high school Seth had always appreciated Stephanie. He really cared about her. But after losing her for so long and not being around her he never realized how much of a part that she was in his life. Thinking back he almost felt like he hadn't treated her well enough if that was possible. He was always a total gentleman around her but still, he felt that he could've done more. That he should've done more because it was her. Maybe now he could get a second chance. He must have been meant to because really what are the chances of them both ending up at Miami. One in a million. It was unbelievable that it had happened. Shock was still inside of him but it was covered with his lust for her. However the lust was covered by his want to make things right. Even if she didn't still like him and didn't want to be his girl friend anymore he still wanted to be apart of her life. If just being her friend was all he could get he would just have to settle for it. But what Nate said, about her being the happiest when she was with him and that she probably still wanted to be with him. Those thoughts still stayed on his mind. Especially when he had kissed her cheek. The way she hadn't gotten mad at him for kissing it longer than he should have, and the way her smile lingered for a while on her face. It had to count for something right?
Dancing to the beat of the song he felt as their bodies touched. Slightly pressing against each other for a brief couple seconds. That feeling sent weird shivers down his spine and made the hairs on his neck stick up. His stomach felt weird too. It was a good weird though. He only got this way around her. "Meanie" He said, teasing her back a little more. But then when they began to slow dance after he had placed his hands on her waist he wasn't sure what to say. They were incredibly close right now and a silence had come over them. Sure it wasn't actually silent due to the fact that music was still playing and other people could be heard chatting but still. They were sharing a moment now. Or at least that's what it felt like. Speaking just didn't seem right. They were just holding each other close and swaying slightly. Truthfully Seth was glad that the song had changed. Sure he had liked when their bodies had touched but this was much better in his opinion. Since it was so quiet right now it almost made him want to tell her about his feelings. It was beginning to feel like the right moment. Or well it felt like it was getting closer. The only problem was that now that he was so close to telling her he was getting nervous to how she would react again. That was what made him stay quiet.

'When you look me in the eyes, i catch a glimpse of heaven' Steph kept the shocked face once he confirmed that she was forbidden from any other men.She couldn't help but smile in her mind though, if that made any sense, she had that feeling where happiness crowded her thoughts and it would leave.The reason being that although they were joking about her not seeing any other men she couldn't help but be curious as to the truth behind his joking tone, sure he was teasing her at this moment in time but if there were any sense of truth behind what he was saying that would make Stephanie one happy lady because it meant he was jealous and he didn't want her seeing anybody else..luckily she felt exactly the same way.When she heard his comment she gave a laugh though she was partly laughing because she had predicted what he was going to say, well almost..she was hoping he would say something along those lines.
"hmm..then what to do" she questioned rhetorically as she put one finger to her chin as if she was thinking "So you are saying you could satisfy all of my needs Seth?" she then asked, the flirty smile taking control.At his next reply she seemed a little stunned because she was expecting him to make a vast comeback by saying that he was clearly the superior one and so on but he didn't, he actually said she was superior in some ways which made her give a brief smile."someones learned to deal with the truth" she stated in a teasing tone before actually being serious "no you are right, Seth jorden you are quite the charmer" the sincerity in her voice became evident at that point.
Hearing his laugh made her look up to him, she rolled her eyes as she joined in with his laughter, sure she could laugh about it now but at the time she went through a whole roller coaster of emotions, sure it was only finding out what a certain food was but she was a bit over dramatic at times and that time just happened to be one of them."Yeah but you made me go through the five stages of grief!" she joked and crossed her arms over her chest "i was like its not squid rings! Why didn't you tell me in the first place! I'll never eat it again! How could i have eaten that! Ok i accept it" she then laughed as she went through the list of what she actually said which was quite similar to the five stages of grief , denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.
Actually, to think about it this situation wasn't awkward in the slightest.In the first few moments of that slow song beginning to play Stephanie's mind had flipped a little out of control because it seemed like the perfect thing to screw things up between them but as she began to dance with him, as their bodies moved in time so closely everything felt like a newly completed jigsaw puzzle, like the one piece that was missing had finally been found and slotted into place.Awkwardness and bitterness were emotions of the past, all she could concentrate on was the positive things she felt for this man.There wasn't even any words she could say right now, it seemed like the silence was doing all of the talking for them, well the silence between them anyway, of course there was background noise but it didn't seem so overpowering anymore, her eyes stayed focused on his as they moved slowly, she wasn't sure where this was heading, what to do, how to react?

[/font][/size][/center] Seth continued to watch her as she pretended to think. It seemed like their conversations always seemed to change so easily. They would go from topic to topic and they always seemed to be random but strangely amusing. That was how it had been going again tonight. The things that were involved in their conversation tonight were quite funny. If anyone heard what they were saying they would probably think that they were both crazy. However right now their topic was different. They were being that funny they were acting flirty with each other. Very flirty actually. This part of the conversation was most likely his favorite. It's not that he didn't like all of the teasing because he did, he loved it! But the flirting just seemed to flow even more easily, almost like they were meant to do it. Plus it felt like old times. Hearing her next comment made a small grin form on his lips as he began to nod his head, "Yeah I'm pretty sure that I could" When he spoke again the small grin that had been on his face turned into a sexy grin. He knew that she might be slightly shocked about his other comment. Normally he would have pulled out Mr. Vanity and made himself seem more superior but instead he agreed with her, saying that she was. He felt it was only right but then he was quite happy that she had agreed with him also. "It seems like you've learned to deal with the truth too" Seth commented using the same tone that she had and gave a sweet smile.
Listening as she went through all of the stages that he had put her through by making her eat Calamari it made him laugh pretty hard. He couldn't help it. Anyone would laugh at what she was saying. It was just so funny. She was right, the way she had explained it really did make it seem like the five stages of grief. To think all of this came out just because of one certain type of food. He began to shake his head at her silliness and then began to speak as he looked down at her, "Gosh Steph, I am so sorry. I didn't realize that me feeding you that food caused you so much drama" Seth stated with an apologetic look on his face but it was quite obvious that he was just joking around and teasing her again. Such a drama queen. That's what she was. But really he couldn't picture her any other way. Sure some times she took things to seriously or overreacted but it didn't bother him that much. Well it didn't bother him unless whatever happened resulted in her becoming angry at him but that didn't happen that much so it was all good. Plus right now she wasn't actually being a drama queen. She was just making the joke more dramatic. Like it was so incredibly awful that she had ate the calamari. Almost like it had been a life changing experience for her. Which of course it wasn't but just the way she had said it made it almost seem like it was.
Staring into her beautiful brown eyes he couldn't pull his gaze away now. It was impossible. He just couldn't do it. There was no way that he could. The silence was still going on between them, the thought came into his mind that he should use this time to talk to her. To actually talk, about well feelings. His feelings. The voices of Nate, Kayley and his other friends came into his head. Their voices said that he should just do it now. To just tell her. He knew that they were right. He just needed to figure out how to express his feelings to her. His mind racing as he held her close they continued to move slowly. "You know I really am glad that you're here.." He began, "and what I said earlier, about how i'd rather be with you.. w-well that's um true. I wasn't joking because the truth is I'm still in love with you.." Seth said finally getting it out there in the open. It felt good to get it off of his chest but before he could say anything else or hear her reaction he felt as their lips were pressing against each other. Everything was happening so fast, he had just leaned in a kissed her. He couldn't believe it. He wasn't sure why had done this. It's not that he wasn't enjoying it, because he was. He was just nervous to how she was going to react. He hadn't been thinking at the time though, his heart and feelings had taken over him[/blockquote] [/size]

'When you look me in the eyes, i catch a glimpse of heaven' At his reply she licked her lips and looked into his eyes, that feeling hit her stomach when he grinned.That feeling of a mix of emotions, she couldn't even describe it because it was personal it was one of those things that you could only ever understand if you had experienced it yourself and she was pretty sure it was love, the way her stomach did about ten thousand flips a second when she saw him, the way her heart almost melted when he did that grin, the way her eyes were glued to his , locked onto him like she was a hawk waiting for her prey.In a way she was, waiting for the right moment to pounce on him, perhaps not in the aggressive sense but in the metaphorical sense."It seems like you think you know how to push all of my buttons?" she questioned with the flirty smile sticking to her lips to almost mimic his grin, she absolutely loved this right now, it was a complete change to the teasing because they were actually flirting and it seemed to all slot into place, seemed so perfect."I can handle the truth as much as the next girl" she replied changing her flirty smile into a sweet one.
Stephanie watched him shake his head and with that she laughed, she ran through in her mind what she just said and it did actually sound quite funny, in a stupid way of course but she had reacted like that being her drama queen self and all.The five stages of grief pretty much resembled what she went through at the time because it took her a while to accept that calamari was actually squid rings."You better be sorry, i mean..it took me a whole like..five minutes to get over that, thats a lifetime in Stephland" she replied as she kept his joke going, she had to giggle though, the way he joked along with her and abided by her drama queen ways, he knew exactly what she was like and how to deal with it.Of course she was over exaggerating everything but that was typical Stephanie, especially around him, she always seemed to make things more dramatic in the joking sense to get her point across to him and why not? it worked right, plus the two of them always got a laugh out of it.
The silence seemed to last forever, the song seemed to last forever, his smile lingered, her smile lingered..everything seemed so fairytaleish , she almost forgot there was a room full of people with them that was how amazingly intense this moment had got.And she could have sworn that everybody else in the universe could hear her heartbeat, it was pounding against her chest like crazy as he began to speak.He was really glad she was here? That sounded like a typical Sweetheart Seth thing to say but his tone..there was something different about his tone, nervousness, truth it all shone through and it scared her.Where was he going with this? Did she want to listen? And at his next words her jaw literally dropped open, he what?!? her eyes widened as she felt her heart completely stop, it skipped so many beats she thought she was going to die.There were no words she could find, her mind began to spin circles as Seth leaned in closer, she didn't move , she couldn't move, she was froze to the spot.
His lips suddenly met hers and every inch of passion and lust in her body rose sky high, her eyes subconsciously closed, her hands trailed his back to his waist as she deepened the kiss.But wait! she couldn't do this could she? what about everything she had thought of previously, the doubts she had, the fact that he broke her heart, what about everything she had worked so hard to keep.The amount of times she tried to break the kiss was uncountable but her willpower was useless against him, useless against his soft, strong lips, she loved him, she longed for him.But she couldn't allow herself to do this.Pulling away she breathed out furiously as her eyes shunned him, looking to the ground she lifted her hands, running them through her hair as she looked around the room."this cant be happening" she stated as she turned away from him.What was she saying! she wanted this to happen more than anything but she couldn't let him know that, she was freaking out beyond belief right now, her head and heart were in total disagreement "seth..i l-" about to admit her feelings she stopped herself, no..she couldn't do this.Before she knew it she began to walk away from him, not even saying a word.

[/font][/size][/center] Seeing her lick her lips made his grin even larger. Okay this conversation had definitely beaten their previous ones. It was much better than the teasing that was for sure. The whole time his stomach was doing flips but he didn't care. His lust seemed to overload when he heard her next reply and saw that flirty smile. It amazed him how much he could actually want her. Some people talk about how they are in love with some other person but compared to how Seth felt about Stephanie it was basically nothing. He knew he was in love. He knew from the way each time he saw her he was always smiling, how she stayed on his mind when they parted, how so many things reminded him of her. How when he had tried to date other girls she was all he thought about. How every time they touched it made him crazy and how every time he saw her sad he just wanted to make everything better for her. Even if it was impossible he would try to do anything for her. But he was getting slightly off track now, he shouldn't be focusing on that stuff at the moment. He should just be thinking about what she had said and how to answer it which was what he was now doing. "Actually I don't think, I know" He stated, "I'm positive that I can" Then at her next comment he saw her smile change to a more sweet one which caused his grin to change too. "That's good then" He added still smiling.
Seth loved the way she could take one simple thing and totally make some huge exaggeration out of it. That was what she had done with the whole calamari thing. They were just squid rings but she was taking it to a whole new level. Taking it as though it had almost killed her to find out what they actually were. Like because he had only told her after she ate them that he had done such a horrible thing. Maybe it was so horrible that he should go to jail. That was how it seemed. In a joking way of course, that would be something she would say. When she began to speak again he listened as she kept the joke going and brought up Stephland. Ah Stephland he remembered that well. He remembered how one time they had been chatting on msn and joking around saying that he was becoming a citizen of Stephland. She had also told him that he needed a rule book or a guide so that he wouldn't break any of the rules. Of course he had agreed with her because the joke was fun. Plus some guidelines would be useful."Right I almost forgot about the time difference in Stephland. Well like I said I am sorry about that, what can I ever do to make it up to you?" He questioned still laughing a little.
It was now out in the open. Seth had finally admitted his feelings to her. He had admitted that he was still in love. He couldn't believe that he had gotten the words out correctly. Surely he thought that he would have messed something up. He was so nervous. He had thought he had been nervous about just coming here with her tonight but telling her about his feelings, wow that was on a new level of nervousness. But he had got it all out. That wasn't all he had gotten out though. Before he could even realize what he was doing he felt their lips touching. While this was going on he was even more scared. What if she didn't kiss back? Or slapped him? Or both? It could have turned out disastrous. But it hadn't. She was kissing him back. Deepening the kiss as she moved her hands from his neck down to his waist. As that was going on Seth was also deepening the kiss, he kept one hand on her waist but moved the other up to her face. Gently touching her cheek and a bit of her hair. He had missed her kisses so badly. It all came back to him now. In a huge rush of emotion. Sure all of the love for her had been on his mind for months but with that kiss it all seemed to go crazy. The feeling of her lips against his was just so amazing. He didn't want any of this to end.
But then suddenly it did. She pulled away and turned away from him, beginning to speak. It came out as more of a mumble though. He barely heard it, but nevertheless he had. She was running her fingers through her own hair. The way she was reacting now made him feel sick. Clearly she was upset with his actions. He had probably messed up even more now. Why did he have to give into his heart. His brain had said no. Told him not to do it. Told him not to tell her either. But he knew that the telling her had to be done. He was becoming so miserable keeping it all bottled up inside. But the kiss. That was something he should not have done. But he didn't regret it. He had enjoyed every second of it. Hearing as she began to say something she cut herself off. What was she going to say? That was what he wanted to know. Before he could ask she began walking away from him. Leaving him on the middle of the dance floor. He needed to snap out of it, he couldn't just let her get away could he? Not after that. They should really talk this through. "Steph wait!" He said as he began to cut through the crowd in the direction that she had went. It seemed like it was too late though. He couldn't see her. Oh no. Did he lose her in the crowd? No! He couldn't have. This was horrible. He needed to find her.
