Soon after Harold and Adina left, Emily came to talk to me again, instead of getting me to dance this time it was all chat. She joined the table Kevin, Nick and I were sharing. She sat right beside me. It didn't bug me since the dance we earlier shared had made all feelings of contempt and denial disappear. She looked good. She was wearing a sleeveless short blue dress that brought out her eyes and tiny figure.
"So how you been?" she asked referring to me.
"Busy we just finished the tour." I said.
"Me too, except the tour part." She said smiling, making her look radiant.
"I know, my fiancé is an actress on your show." I said. It killed me to say it but she didn't falter at all, as if she didn't care but something told me she did.
"Really what's her name?" She asked.
"Leighanne Wallace." I said.
"Yeah! I know Leigh!" she exclaimed. I couldn't help but laugh at her enthusiasm. She hadn't changed much at all.
"So any reason why you didn't keep in touch?" she asked.
"I was just afraid," I replied honestly. She gave me a look of compassion. The all of a sudden shot up out of her seat and yelled, " It's FIVE!" I quickly recognized that as the group she was referring to 'When the lights go out.'
"Oh my goodness this is my fave song! You have to dance with me." She said. I wanted to change the subject so I went. On the floor we were grinding as good as you can in a dress and a tux. It was still enough to make me want her again. Want her enough to ignore my promise to AJ, and my fiancé. I was slowly losing control and I was to into her to notice the name. All I knew was that I wanted her and needed her.
