Chapter 73 - 73: Birthday Party XII

(Michelle POV)

After Louis pulled me to stand closer to him, he placed his hands on my hips, then he split my legs by stepping in between them so that we're not directly on top of each other's toes. He bridged the gap between us, so that we're standing really close. He placed his hands on my hips then, he started the body roll movement while swaying us from side to side. 

If I haven't experienced this while dancing with Kate earlier, I would be panicking just about now. Luckily, I did, so I thought that this was really normal. Besides, I did read in Wikipedia 'how to dance with a guy in a nightclub' before coming here. So, I kinda knew what to expect. Anyhow, I followed his movements so that our body won't touch.

Louis smiled. Then, he moved his hands upwards and placed them just underneath my shoulder blades, pulling me even closer to him. Our chest just a centimeter apart. 

I gasped. This is really happening! It's like the personification of everything I read about and it's pretty cool. Haha! Ok, don't know what's running in his head though. Maybe he's being a horny teenager thinking he's gonna get lucky tonight? So funny.

Anyhow, I have to say that Louis was a pro in this kind of thing. Like if I were to evaluate him based on my research, he would have a score of at least 9/10. Did he read them before coming here? Or was it something that came with experience?

After a while, he turned me around, so that my naked back was leaning on his chest, then, he pulled my hips back and I felt his groin touching my ass! Ok, should I feel proud now that this super popular actor in the future got a hard on because of me? Then, like a pro, he took my hand, pulled it up and made me place it on the back of his head as he continued to sway us from side to side.

Ok, this would be a nice move to implement later on Anthony. 'Hihi! Thanks for teaching me more Louis.' I thanked him in my head as we continued to move. After a while, his hands moved to the sides of my waist, his bare hands touching my bare skin there, caused a tickling sensation which cause me to giggle. I was ticklish there.

Louis whispered on my ear, "This tickles?"

"Yes!" I answered while laughing.

Then, he moved his hands so that he's now touching my tummy under my dress. Uhm… ok, was this really going to get perverted? Though I have to really award him a medal. He's really a pro at this. His hands crept upwards, moving to my ribs, then reaching at the underside of my boobs. Ok, I think this is where I should pull the brakes. Sorry Louis, my body is reserved for Anthony.

I put my hand down from his head and pulled away a little. Louis as a pro, got his hands out of my dress, understanding quite well that I wanted it to stop. Oh, such a nice dude. Not bad. Anyway, I turned to face him and smiled, "Thanks for dancing with me tonight."

Louis smiled back, then, he leaned forward so he can make me hear his words through the blaring music, "Anytime. Anyhow, should I send you back to your seat?"

I was about to answer when I saw Anthony his eyebrows furrowed walking to… wait… was he walking to our direction!? Did he see me dancing with Louis and by some miracle got jealous!? Does this mean he really likes me too!? Wah!!!!

Before I knew it, he was already standing before us, so I smiled at him then looked back to Louis. "No, no need. My friend is now here to claim his dance." I answered.

(Third POV)

When Anthony saw the guy Michelle was dancing with use his hands to get under her dress, he felt his worry hit the roof. Like, what if Michelle was drunk and the guy was taking advantage of her? 

Honestly, it did not even pass his thoughts that Michelle must be like a normal girl dancing the night away with some dude. She did not strike him as someone like that. So, beyond his reasonable thoughts, he stood from his seat to stop whatever madness was going on. 

"Hey Anthony! What are you…" Jeff began.

"I think Michelle is drunk. Please excuse me for a sec." he announced before walking away.

The four watched him go, then they looked at each other wide eyed. Well, save for Steven who seemed relaxed and not shocked.

"Am I the only one here who thinks that Michelle isn't drunk as he said?" Jeff asked.

Vince laughed, "No Jeff, but whatever works! I mean, think about it, Anthony might get lucky tonight!"

Lara's thought was running in a different direction, but she was grinning from ear to ear. Maybe Anthony was not as dense as he seems. Could it be that he likes Michelle too?

Steven did not look deeper into it and just felt his worry ebb away. Anthony was doing the right thing, he also thought that Michelle might be drunk.

In summary, in their table, 3 guys only took Anthony's words at face value, while Lara interpreted it as Anthony liking Michelle. Ah really, how the mind of boys and girls work are different.

Anyhow, they followed him with their eyes. Curious what Anthony would do.

When Anthony was about to reach the two, he saw Michelle pull away from the guy and the two stopped dancing. Thus, he too halted his footsteps. Briefly, he realized that the ongoing song just ended and a new one would be coming up. Uh… does that mean that the two already ended their dance together? 

But then, he saw the guy lean forward to whisper something on Michelle's ear. Was he going to ask her to leave with him already? He saw his friends do that so many times. He furrowed his brows. He has to stop this and take Michelle back to her seat.

When Anthony reached the two, Michelle pulled away from the guy again, then she looked at him and smiled. The guy she was with also turned to face him. Upon closer inspection, the guy seemed familiar. Then, he realized that it was the guy who was talking with her at the pool earlier. Then, it came to him that perhaps Michelle wanted to dance with the guy in the first place? Uh… ok. What was he doing there again? It seemed like he was not needed. Should he just go back to his seat now?

Anthony felt awkward, he was just about to apologize when Michelle announced, "No, no need. My next partner is now here to claim his dance."

Louis was not a soil sport. Understanding the rules of the party quite well, he nodded and smiled at Michelle, then said, "till next time" before leaving.

Anthony on the other hand, internalized Michelle's words. Did she say those words to drive away the guy? Or was it she really thought that he was there to dance with her?

Either way, he must get her back to their group. He was about to say something but when he looked at Michelle, she was smiling while looking at him expectantly. He swallowed. What does he do now? 

Michelle thought that Anthony must also be feeling awkward. He did storm there like some jealous lover, well at least that's what she assumed he did. Anyway, it should be her turn now to show some initiative. That he went to the dance floor to where she was already counts as her, not asking him to dance with herself, right?

Anyway, she was still feeling courageous. Don't know if it came from the drinks she drank, but she knew she was not drunk. She did feel enough sobriety to know what she wanted.

The next song started playing and before Anthony could say anything or think further, Michelle already used her right foot to step in between his legs, bridging the gap between them. She took his hands and placed them on her hips.

Michelle just thought that she should apply what she learned from louis to Anthony. Anyhow, hearing the music playing, she tried to match the rhythm of her moves to the music. Unlike earlier when the song was fast paced, this time it was a bit slower. 

"Yeah

Uh-huh

So seductive

I'll take you to the candy shop

I'll let you lick the lollipop

Go 'head girl don't you stop

Keep going 'til you hit the spot, whoa

I'll take you to the candy shop (yeah)

Boy, one taste of what I got (uh-huh)

I'll have you spending all you got (come on)

Keep going 'til you hit the spot, whoa"

Anthony, well, he was a fairly reasonable chap, but let's face it. He was also a hormonal teenager. With the girl he knew he wanted to bang the first moment he saw her enter the room doing what she was doing, what was he to do? Besides, the way she moved earlier and the way she's moving now, also indicated that perhaps she already did this before. So, it was safe to assume that she perfectly understood what she was doing. 

In the end, all his common sense went mush, well not really, but his mind centered on one thing. That was, tonight, this was it. A hook up. SEX. ONE NIGHT STAND NO STRINGS ATTACHED. Yes, that's all he could think of. If he was even thinking at all. Anyway, Hopefully, he can impress her enough for this to lead to where he hopes it would end.
