Chapter 14 - the dance ch-13

The gym was decorated with sparkling lights and streamers, the music pulsing softly through the room. Students were laughing, dancing, and taking photos everywhere.

Jay walked in, and for a moment, the chatter around her faded. She wore a stunning dress — elegant, perfectly fitted, and radiant in a way that made everyone turn their heads.

Keifer, standing near the entrance with his usual confident posture, froze. His eyes widened, jaw tightening.

She looked like… perfection.

Jay's heels clicked against the floor as she made her way toward him, a playful smile on her lips. "So… care to dance?" she asked, tilting her head slightly.

Keifer's heart raced. He opened his mouth, but words failed him. Normally smooth and teasing, he suddenly felt breathless.

"I… uh… yeah," he finally managed, stepping forward. "Of course."

Jay grinned and held out her hand. "Good. Don't step on my toes."

Keifer chuckled, though it came out a little strained. "Wouldn't dream of it."

As they moved onto the dance floor, Keifer felt himself losing control — not just over the rhythm, but over the intense pull he felt toward her. The way the dress shimmered, the light catching her hair, the tilt of her chin… it was too much.

He pressed a little closer than necessary, hands careful on her waist, and couldn't stop his gaze from drinking her in.

"You look… amazing," he admitted, voice low, almost a growl.

Jay's cheeks flushed slightly, a mischievous sparkle in her eyes. "I could say the same to you, Watson."

The music swelled, and for a moment, they were the only two people in the room. Words weren't needed. Every glance, every slight touch, every beat of the music was charged with a tension neither could ignore.

Keifer's usual control — his teasing, cocky mask — had completely disappeared. All he could focus on was her, and the way his chest ached at the thought that she might not feel the same… though every step she took in sync with him said otherwise.

For once, Keifer wasn't teasing, wasn't joking, wasn't in control. He was just… utterly, completely captivated by Jay.
