Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 55

“As cliché as this may sound, but I can’t dance,” I

told him and he laughed, rolling his eyes.

“Well, you’re in luck. I’m the best dancer this club

has ever seen,” he told me and it was my turn to do

the eye rolling.

“I thought you said you didn’t like dancing,” I told

him.

“And you said you can’t dance but that didn’t stop

you from dancing with that blonde guy earlier,” he

responded.

Suddenly, he grabbed my hand and pulled me to the

middle of the balcony. He put my hands on his

shoulder and he placed his hands on my waist. I

furrowed my eyebrows. “Jonah?”

“Hm?” he asked, glancing down at me. When our

eyes connected, I automatically looked away.

“This is slow dancing; that song is fast paced,” I

explained.

“This is the only dance I know that’s suitable for

public places,” he told me. I automatically assumed

that by ‘suitable,’ he meant that he was secretly a

stripper.

“Jonah…are you a stripper?” I asked him. It was quiet

for a moment as we swayed back and forth in this

totally unromantic cold air. But for some reason, the

air was warm, maybe it’s because of how close

Jonah and I were.

“Yes,” he said with all seriousness in his voice. I

muffled my laugh into his chest. I felt my face warm

up. I facepalmed at my stupidity. Instead, I just

rested my head against his chest, rather than pulliing

away and letting him see how that little movement

affected me so much. I don’t even know why it

affected me that much. Maybe it’s because it’s cold

outside and the blood rushes to my face. Yeah, that’s

believable.

When we finally stopped dancing, we heard the

announcements from inside of the club. It was 11:55

P.M. and we were all called into the room. Slipping

inside from the patio, we listened to Percy tell us

what was going on.

“When the lights go off, you’re going to find your

partner and you’re going to kiss them. We know it’s

not New Year’s Eve but it’s about to be Christmas! So

when the lights go out, you’re going to kiss them but

you’re going to have to stop before the lights come

back on. It’s the mystery that makes this fun.”

Now I understood why Percy said that I was going

to want to leave, because I want to leave now more

than ever. I’d rather be in a torture chamber than

here. It’d be way too awkward, sitting here while

everybody else kisses. I’d be glued to my spot in fear

of getting in the way of a couple’s kiss.

I tried to slowly back away but Sabrina grabbed my

arm. “You can’t leave now; this is the best part,” she

smirked.

“Yeah, you have to stay,” Sierra smiled at me and I

shook my head.

“Yeah, of course I do,” I muttered as the twins

pushed me back into my spot. The countdown

started at 60 and people were rushing to find their

boyfriends and girlfriends while I just stood there

awkwardly. The lights were dimming slowly.

The twins made sure that their crushes were close

enough to them so that they can kiss but far enough

so it’d look natural. I just stood awkwardly beside

Sierra and Jonah, who was casually talking to

Sabrina.

The lights started to dim at 20 seconds and I sighed.

It stinks being single.
