Ron and Zula hugged while dancing for an unknown measure of time. It was at least three songs, how much Zula observed. But she didn't mind. Sticking close to Ron felt good. Even the scent of his aftershave smelled so good to the point of making her feel dizzy. She didn't know if he really shaves or he just applied it for the sake of smelling manly… either way, it worked in getting her to inhale deeply more than once.
"You will not ask me what that was about?", Ron asked Zula.
"I saw how that woman wants to be close to you, and you don't. That's all I need to know.", Zula responded.
It's not that she is not curious, but she can see that Ron is uncomfortable and she does not want to demand of him to tell her more. If he wants to explain, he will.
He inched away from her and looked her in the eyes. "Thanks."
"Not a problem.", she winked. "You are my date. I need to take care of you."
