. Now, seeming as I have had no experience with romance fiction whatsoever, don't be surprised if this is absolutely terrible. So enjoy! (Or at least try)_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
A broad figure stood alone in the corner, his pitch black hair camoflauged in the shadows. A set of deep blue eyes scanned the surroundings, studying the room they knew so well, but not in this mood. The great hall within Dragonwood Academy, lit with lights all over the stone room. The hall was a great piece of architecture, standing at least three stories high, made of some kind of stone. Usually it was rather dull but in this light, it looked like a fancy hall in some kind of romance movie. Well he guessed that was only fitting for the occassion, considering that is was the end of year ball.Subtle music played as smartly dressed people rocked gently on the balcony. The smell of freshly cooked sausage rolls and cakes wafted through the air. Kai sniffed at the sweet scents.
He emerged from the shadows and headed straight to the buffet table. All he wanted to do was wash the sorrow away, even if that meant stuffing himself until he was sick. He was heartbroken, so he didn't really care. His date, Julia Hubbard, had ditched him for some rich, stuck-up guy, so Kai was left to dance with himself. As if that was even possible. Kai sliced a large piece of chocolate cake, placed it on a paper plate and saturated it in cream, then sighed.
'You gonna eat all of that?' a feminine yet assertive voice said behind him.
'Why do you care? Your'e not part of the Academy's weight watching club are you?' Kai replied, after a short pause.
He turned around to see a girl around five feet, eight inches (Kai was six feet two). She was rather attractive. She had long, flowing, brown hair, emerald green eyes and had a rather slim, yet curvy figure. Her long, scarlet red dress went well with her gold necklace and ruby earrings. But her face was the only thing Kai cared about, he believed that the eyes were the windows to the soul.
'Yes', she laughed, 'But I would very much like some'.
Kai stared at her, she was growing evermore attractive to him. His sorrow had dissappeared and was replaced with an emotion he'd only felt once before. And that brought back bitter memories.
The girl cleared her throught.
'Oh, right' Kai stuttered, as he cut a part off of his cake.
'Don't worry about another plate', the girl smiled 'we can share. You don't have cooties do you?'
'I don't think so...' Kai said, scratchng his chin.
'I was joking! Lighten up!'
'Oh. Yes. Hahahahaha.'
The girl nudged him gently and made her way towards a table. Kai followed.
'So', she said. 'Names'.
'Yeah, I'm Kai, Kai ' he replied, raising his hand.
'Lucy West' she smiled, shaking his offered limb.
'I haven't noticed you before Lucy, whose form are you in?'
'Miss Paenna's, she's a bit strict I find, but she loves to help people. You?'
'Mr Burrows', he's a bit of fun', Kai answered 'but serious when he needs to be'.
Kai was starting to think that the night was about to get a lot better, considering he started it close to suicidal. He took his parts in the conversation, but he wasn't really listening to her words, he was to busy gazing into her eyes. He snapped out of his trance when she asked him to dance. He paused. 'Sure', he answered 'not like I have anything better to do'. She took his hand and headed straight to the balcony.
It was cold out, but that wasn't much of a problem, Kai's black suit was quite warm. The song changed. The song that came on was 'Dancing in the Moonlight' by Toploader.
'Oh, this is one of my favourites!' Lucy whispered, as she raised her arm, hand loose.
Kai took her hand and slowly started to step with her. He was gazing down at his feet, making sure he didn't trip up. He looked up and his eyes met Lucy's. She pulled herself closer to him, tucking her head into his chest. 'Do you know what the weird thing is Lucy?' He whispered.
'What?'
'I thought I was gonna end the night with a noose around my neck, but I have your arms instead. It's really opened my eyes.'
'What has?'
'That love always has it's ways'
The music subsided and Lucy gently pulled away from Kai's chest. Something inside Kai took control of him, he didn't know what it was, but he wasn't going to fight it. He leaned forward, towards Lucy. He lips pursed. He closed his eyes and felt her's touch his. The world around him could wait. He was trapped in pure bliss while the world was busy dancing in the moonlight.
