Star Gazing Festival

I stood near the edge of the cliff leaning against the fence, looking up into the starry night. Everyone around me was dancing, socializing, or eating the homemade food made by the other citizens. I on the other hand was doing neither. Why? Reason is that feet away my best friend Ash was dancing with the only person I wanted to spend the night with.

Yes, you could say I was jealous. He had beaten me to Lillian. It made me both angry and upset. Just watching made me want to yell out of frustration. I didn't want to hang out with anybody else but her. Lillian was beautiful inside and out, she's everything to me. I'll admit I'm slightly overprotective when it comes to her, but I only am because I know how it is to lose someone special. I didn't need to experience it again.

The song that was playing seemed to be playing slowly, as if torturing me. I couldn't help but glare at Ash as he held one arm around Lillian's hip and his hand intertwined with hers. Imagining me in his place only made it worse, it made it more agonizing. My heart was hurting watching the sight, but I couldn't look away from her.

Ash whispered into her ear something I couldn't hear over the music and Lillian glanced towards me. I blushed and turned away. She was walking towards me, all the frustration starting to slowly fade when I saw the small smile on her pink lips. When she took ahold of my hand, my heart skipped a beat and my face began to burn up.

"Cam, will you dance with me?" I had pictured this moment; however it was the opposite where I asked her. Either way at least I was dancing with her. My face was red at the thought of how close our bodies were. It made me somewhat nervous. She was grinning at me.

"Can I try something?" Lillian suddenly asked, her innocent purple eyes making my knees weak. It was even hard enough to speak. So I nodded slowly.

Her eyes closed and she stood on her tip toes, her soft lips brushing against mine.
