Hold my waist.
Hold my waist.
"You are going to be our little audience." He said before winking at Tara who was breathing heavily with her tongue out. She still looked scared from the rumbling thunder.
"Hi!" Mira said with flushed cheeks as she came out of the kitchen.
Just as he expected, he smelled beer. She must have gone to drink some more.
"Are you sure you'll be okay?" He asked her as she reeled towards him.
"Yea. Are you going to be okay?" She asked him.
"Sure. Why not?" He asked with a funny look on his face.
Mia raised her shirt up, making Leo look at her with a confused frown.
"What... are you.." Before he could complete his sentence, he saw her tying the hem of her shirt to the side of her waist with her bellybutton exposed to his eyes.
"You can start the music now." She said before looking around again.
The lights were giving her some kind of confidence plus the drink was also making her feel like she could do anything and just later blame it on the alcohol.
He had already connected the song to his home theater sound system so he started the music.
"I'm sorry for any discomfort this may cause you." She apologized in advance as she walked towards him.
"No problem. So what do I do? Are we going to like... waltz together?" He asked curiously as he stretched out his hand for her to take it but to his surprise, she shook her head and moved even closer to him.
"You just have to stand still. I'll show you what to do." She said before placing her hands on his shoulders. Leo was really startled but he tried to act indifferent. They were so close and he could feel her soft chest on his hard chest.
Mia didn't look at him. She looked down and took in several deep breaths to calm herself.
"What am I supposed to do with my hands?" Leo asked since his hands were just lying limply by his sides.
"Hold my waist." She instructed.
'I have a really bad feeling about this.' He said in his head before he slowly placed his hands on her bare waist.
The moment he touched her waist, they both sucked in breath.
"I'll just... restart the song." He said before picking up his phone. Once he did that, he moved back into position.
"I'm sorry." Mia apologized. His discomfort was obvious to her.
Leo only smiled at her and said nothing as the music started...

*When your legs don't work like they used to before.
And I can't sweep you off of your feet.
Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love*
"Nice lyrics." He said in a teasing tone as he looked down at her face. He had the strong urge to hug her and bury his face in her neck but he held back.
"Just ignore the lyrics." She whispered into his ears and he felt her hot breath tickle his neck which made him stiffen..
:musical_note:*Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks.*:musical_note:
Just as it was about entering the next line of the song, she moved back, spinned and moved closer till she pressed her chest to his again.
Then she turned around with her back pressed to his body and led his hands to touch her belly.
"Jesus Christ!" Leo whispered underneath his breath as his eyes slightly widened.
What was happening? Was this the dance? Was this it? Like, this is really it?
*:musical_note:And darling I will be loving you till we're 70.
And baby my heart could still fall as hard at 23... And I'm thinking 'bout how...*:musical_note:
Leo just stood there like a statue. He was totally shocked!
She was sexy–dancing with him! He hadn't ever suspected that Mia could dance like this since she always acted so stiff. Her body kept flowing and moving freely like water as it rubbed his own body.
*:musical_note:People fall in love in mysterious ways.. maybe just the touch of a hand... Oh me I fall in love with you every single day, and I just wanna tell you I am..
So honey noooow..
Take me into your loving arms...*:musical_note:
She turned around but didn't look into his eyes. She had been trying not to look at him ever since they started.
But then, she began to remember all Mr B's instructions. "Maintain eye contact." Mr B would always say.
She took in a deep breath and raised her head to look into his eyes and caught him staring right back at her.
Goosebumps suddenly rose on Leo's skin immediately their eyes locked.
They both stared at each other quietly but she noticed something had changed in the room and looked up.
It was the lights. It wasn't just a stagnant red illumination but the light was rotating between red, blue and green making the house look even prettier than it was before.
"Wow!" She exclaimed silently as she looked up in amazement. Slowly, a smile appeared on her face...
:musical_note:Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars, Place your head on my beating heart. I'm thinking out loud, Maybe we found love right where we are..:musical_note:
The music continued and Leo's gaze never left her face as he saw her smile really brightly. Her smile was blinding to his eyes.
Seeing her smiling like this, he suddenly remembered the first time he saw her. If anyone had told him a month ago that he would be in his sitting room dancing with Mia while his heart raced, he would have scoffed in disbelief and laughed at the absurdity of it all. But here he was...
"Who are you?" It was the very first question he asked her when he saw her inside the room when things were about to get nasty between himself and the lady he had taken home with him. Surprisingly, she had said.. "I should be asking you."
He could still remember how pissed he was that day.
But here they were....
