Chapter 5
The song that had been playing ended, and the lights of the club dimmed and the music turned to something soft and slow. Matt glanced out at the dance floor tosee people leaving and couples forming. Matt saw Adam with a girl and, Jay not too far away from him with a girl. Then Matt looked back to Jessica.
She smiled, “No I’d love to dance with you Matt,” Jessica said softly.
Matt’s heart jumped, Thank you God, Matt thought.
Matt and Jessica stood. Then Matt reached for Jessica’s hand as he led her on to the dance floor. She was facing him about an arms distance away.
Jessica was smiling at Matt as he pulled her closer to him. Very slowly Matt slid his arms around Jessica’s waist. Matt's heart raced, it had been so long since he wanted to be this close to someone. Their eye's locked and they were staring at each other.
Jessica put her arms up around Matt’s neck and rested her head on his shoulder. As they started dancing silently Jessica snuggled into Matt's shoulder. Matt held her close to him closing his eye's. Matt could smell the fragrance in her hair and she felt soft in his arms. He couldn’t believe how happy he was right then. Matt rested the side of his cheek gently against Jessica’s head, her soft long hair felt silky to his face. She was so warm and so wonderful. Matt's heart continued to race.
Matt was so distracted by all the new things he had noticed about her that Matt almost hadn’t heard her whisper to him.
“Matt…” Jessica whispered close to his ear.
“Huh?” Matt asked opening his eyes.
Jessica giggled softly, “I was just thinking about something you said about me.
Matt sighed, “And what was that?” Matt asked softly, letting his hands slide around the sides of her hips as she lifted her head off of his shoulder and looked up at him.
To Matt, Jessica looked so innocent then. She couldn’t be any more perfect Matt thought to himself.
She smiled, then whispered, “You called me beautiful....” she said as she touched his cheek gently with her hand. Her eyes sparkled. Matt got lost in them for a time. Matt longed to kiss her. He wanted to so badly.
Matt finally spoke in a low whisper, “Well Jessica you are,” Jessica interrupted Matt then.
“Tell me again,” Jessica whispered as she leaned closer towards Matt’s face.
Matt who had begun to relax, tensed. He glanced down, and took a deep breath.
You’re absolutely beautiful....” Matt whispered as he pulled Jessica closer to him. Before Matt knew what he was doing, he realized he was kissing her gently.
Jessica kissed Matt lightly and as the kiss ended Matt stood there staring at her. They had stopped dancing. They were just standing on the dance floor and then Matt couldn’t help himself.... he kissed her again. She kissed back. Over and over they kissed. Each kiss better then the one before. Minutes passed. Matt felt so great.
Neither of them had even realized the slow songs were over with until Matt heard Jay’s voice, and felt someone pat his back playfully. Matt and Jessica stopped in the middle of the kiss they had been sharing and Matt looked over at Jay and Adam as they stood there laughing.
“Go Matt!” Adam said smiling at him as he and Jay slapped each other five.
“Yeah man! Good job! That was so cute, totally reeking of awesomeness! Good going, hey we’re gonna hit the next club you gonna come with us?” Jay asked,looking at Matt.
Matt laughed at them and looked back at Jessica. Matt didn’t want to leave her, he didn’t want to be any farther away from her then he had to be. She stared at him. It was like her eyes were begging him to stay. How could he resist?
Matt looked back at Jay and Adam. “Hey you guys can go on ahead without me, I’m gonna stick around here for a little while longer. You two go on ahead.”
Jay smiled at Matt and looked at Adam.
“Okay man, we’ll see you later, have a good time.....but then again you seem to be having a good time already! Later dude!” Jay said laughing as he put his sunglasses back on and turned to Adam about to leave.
Adam glanced back at Matt. “Have fun kiddos! Later Matt!” Adam said as Matt watched as his friends disappeared.
