CHAPTER 4 - Sexy Back

ALEX'S POV

'Damn. She looks so hot, the way she moves…Her fingers linking into mine. The way her hips sway, and eyes glisten under the flashing lights...What are you doing Alex? You have to stop this. It's Paige. SHE… is Paige. A girl… I've never had this much fun with one person in my life. We don't even need to speak. Looking at her smiling and laughing. She’s beautiful.’ The way her hair twirls around her when I spin her as we dance. Her body pressed up behind me. She is looking right at me, running her fingers down my sides. ‘Ok, get yourself together Alex. Turn and look her in the eyes.'

Sometime during our dancing and in all the excitement she had kicked off her shoes. I turn toward her and she looks me right in the eyes, as she smiles at me. I take the hat I have on off of my head. I then place my arms on her shoulders lightly, still looking into her eyes I place the hat onto her hand and her smile grows. She places a hand on my arm as we dance, our bodies moving together with the beat. She places her hand back on my hip and I move my hand down to hers.

Seconds later I realize everyone has backed away from us and we are the center of attention. I whisper in her ear.

"I guess we have an audience." She looks over to the side then around the room as we dance and looks down blushing. We both let out a small laugh.

'She is so cute.'

"Come on, let's give em a show." I say as a take her arm and twirl her out away from me and she sways her way back toward me.

For what seemed like 5 more minutes but probably was more like 10, People watched us as we danced together. Well, I am assuming they did. I hadn't really noticed if they did the whole time. There was a point out on that dance floor when Paige and I connected so much and it felt like the rest of the room disappeared. It was as if she was the only other person there. And to me she was, the only one that mattered anyway.

I was starting to feel a little tired and thought maybe she'd want to take a break too. It was getting a little late anyway. So I lifted up her hand over her head and twirled her off the dance floor. She let out a small cute laugh as I spun her.

She turns to me.

"Ever felt drunk without drinking?"

'This feeling is better then being drunk.'

"Is that why your shoes went AWOL?"

She looks to me and scrunches up her nose.

"They were pinchy. I am going to some water, I will get you some!" She says pointing to me.

As she walks off I see Jay heading toward me. She walks passed him doing a little skip, shouts "Hi!" to him and gives him a little wave on her way to the bar. He repays her hello with a mean glare and then turns to me.

"So…This new lesbian thing you got going on..." I listen as he talks, never taking my eyes off her. That is…Until his next comment.

"I like to watch." He finishes off. I back hand him in the chest.

"I like to punch. Dream on." He sighs in frustration and continues to bug me. Of course I just ignore the sight of him again, watching Paige from across the room at the bar.

"Lexi!! Lexi…come on why weren't you this adventurous when we were dating huh?? We coulda had fun." This time answering him I look him right in the eyes. But only to say two words to him before returning my gaze back to Paige.

"You're disgusting." I simply state.

"Oh and you…? Putting on a show for everyone?"

'Ha! Loser… I wasn't even paying any attention to anyone else in the room tonight.' But of course he has to continue.

"You know… what makes you think tonight is about you anyway?" I look up at him and answer him with the most sincerity in my voice.

"Its not...It’s about her." I look back towards Paige to see her walking back with two water bottles in one hand, and the hat I had placed on her head earlier in the other.

She walks towards me and stretches her hand out to pass me one of the bottles.

"Here." I take the bottle and twirl her around.

"Let me walk you home." She looks at me a little surprised.

"Uh…But my shoes…!" I smile at her and look down at her bare feet taking both of her hands while I walk backwards and start to lead her away from Jay.

"Barefoot suits you, and besides my place is on the way." She turns back, looking at Jay. She is still a little confused but I continue to walk her through the crowd.
