The awkward moment is over as climbs off of you. However the moment of normalcy is not long-lived as she turns around and comes face-to-face with the very mirror she danced in front of all those years ago. She stands there like a deer in the headlights for about half a minute, then collapses to the floor in tears. You cannot help but feel responsible for this new outburst of emotions, so you rush to her side.
“, I’m sorry for dragging that up. I didn’t mean to bring up another bad memory. I just wanted to be honest with you.” You say.
“, I’m not crying over Bryce Heron.” She says over the tears.
“Is it because I saw you doing what you were doing then?” You ask, about ready to cry yourself.
“NO!!! It’s because I just lied to my best friend in the whole world and I feel like shit because I can’t tell him how I feel about him.” She says as another round of tears over takes her.
“What are you talking about girl?” You ask. It hits you like a ton of bricks. “You weren’t dancing for Bryce. You were dancing for...for…me?!! You knew I was there, so you put on a show for me?”
“Yes.” Is all she says.
“Why didn’t you say anything to me?” You ask curiously.
“I did. I asked you if you liked what you saw and if you wanted to give Bryce something to be jealous about, so I made you an offer I thought you wouldn’t refuse. But you did. I thought you walked away because you didn’t want me. So I never tried coming on to you. I didn’t know you couldn’t hear me over the music.” She says as she starts to cry. “The next night when Bryce and I were fucking, I accidentally screamed your name and that was when he flipped out. His actions gotme thinking. I've loved you from that day, but I didn't come on to you because I thought you didn't want me in that way.”
You are stunned. The woman of your dreams wanted to have sex with you and was performing for you, and you blew it because you couldn’t hear her.
“, I’m so sorry. If I had known you were dancing for me, I would have been in there in a heartbeat. I’ve felt the same way about you for years.” You tell her.
“What?” She looks at you in disbelief.
“If I had known you had wanted me as more than a friend, I would have told you how I truly feel about you a long time ago. I love you !!!” You shed a tear as your secret is finally out. She reaches up to kiss you, but before she does she whispers into your ear.
“If it’s not too late, maybe I could dance for you again.” She smiles as she stands up and wipes away her tears.
