Unstoppable Feelings

Arkyn froze getting a slap on his left cheek, his sky-blue eyes widening in disbelief at the 'culprit' hand. He's already here, how did he get this?

Arumi herself clapped her hands in satisfaction.

One promise fulfilled.

"Why ...?" That was the only word that could escape Arkyn's lips.

"You played my heart," Arumi answered without any guilt at all, "You're lucky it was a slap, not a punch."

Arkyn finally came out of his shock, he stroked his warm cheek, which is now throbbing in pain, "I don't think I can protest."

"Of course you don't," Arumi said while rolling her eyes.

"Pfft ..." Arkyn covered his mouth with his hand to keep from laughing.

Unfortunately, Arumi heard it. She was angry again, "What's so funny? You asked to be slapped twice ...!?"

"You mistaken," Arkyn hastily defended himself before another slap landed on his right cheek, "I just saw you looked cute. In a positive sense. Okay?"

Cute?

Not sexy? Cool? Badass?

Arumi folded her arms across her chest, "I don't understand what you thinking."

Arkyn smiled gently for the first time, "I didn't ask you to understand me."

True.

Since Arkyn was already here ...

"So you want me to teach you sexy dance, Arkyn~?"

"I didn't say that," Arkyn immediately refused. Again, "Continue drinking is a good option for me."

Arumi doesn't understand why Arkyn refuses to learn how to dance just for fun?

"Don't you already have a partner? I'm sure he's waiting for you."

Partner?

Does that mean Arkyn watched her dance?

"He can hope," Arumi commented arrogantly, "I'm just in the mood to accept his invitation."

"Oh ... oh!"

Arumi raised an eyebrow at Arkyn's rapid change in expression, from surprise to embarrassment, to a wide smile ... as if pleased? "Jealous?"

"What? You mistake again."

Arumi laughed in her min. His face clearly said otherwise, "If you don't want me to be snatched away again, let's dance~"

"I don't want to," Arkyn denied again, then his face turned awkward, "I have no problem you dancing with someone, I have a problem with, the guy you're dancing with, he's a womanizer."

Arumi patted her forehead.

No wonder that stranger kept wanting to be with her.

"I was intending to interrupt, but you handle him really well," Arkyn explained with a gentle smile, "you don't need a Prince to come to save you."

Arumi chuckled. Prince? Nice joke, "Duh. Of course. You didn't know I was learning martial arts."

Arkyn chuckled, "I can see it," he says, "See you then."

Does he intend to go again?

Avoid her?

Arumi thought they were close enough to joke around like this.

Even though Arkyn didn't just walk away this time like before, still she couldn't accept it.

Arumi had had enough, she held Arkyn's hands tightly, "You will go after learning from me. Come on~" she asked.

"But ..." Arkyn intended to protest, unfortunately Arumi pulled his two hands, led him to the crowded dance floor, "Arumi, I already told you I don't want to."

Arumi moved her hands, starting to warm up, "This is a normal dance. I know you're not comfortable with sexy things so let's just dance~ see~" she moved her hand above her head.

Arkyn followed Arumi's movements, then felt embarrassed about what he was doing. He tried to run away again but was held back by her.

"Come on, calm down. Let your mind go and follow the rhythm of the song, Arkyn~" says Arumi still dancing, persuaded cheerfully, "Don't think about your troubles, do what you want~ only this time~"

Arkyn who was initially hesitant, seeing Arumi enjoying so much made him hypnotized, her energetic invitation also brought out his deepest desire. He started dancing again slowly by moving his hands.

Arumi followed Arkyn's movements, except that she moved her hips left and right.

Arkyn was actually embarrassed because he looked amateurish, Arumi's response, which didn't laugh at him, actually imitated him, increasing his confidence. Slowly he also followed how she and others dance style, he also listened to the rhythm of the song and quickly memorized it.

"See? You can do it~" Arumi praised in between her little dance jumps.

Arkyn didn't respond, enjoying the rhythm too much and having great confidence in his body.

Arumi understands Arkyn's feelings now, she was like that when she first successfully danced too.

This is fun.

Arumi dances even more energetically, and when the music changes, without a second thought of getting carried away, she shows her sexy moves with confidence.

Arkyn who was behind Arumi was clearly surprised let alone her butt touching him. He scratched the back of his neck awkwardly, moreover, she was still dancing clinging to him as if teasing him, "Uhm ... Ms. Arumi?"

Arumi realizes what happening, her mouth gasping softly. She stopped, and turned around, seeing Arkyn's blushing face embarrassed her too, "My bad, I didn't mean to ...!" She enjoyed the song too much. She thought it was someone else behind her.

This is bad.

Arkyn might run away from her again.

Her chance might slip from her hand again.

Just when he started getting comfortable with her!

"It's okay," Arkyn replied awkwardly.

Arumi didn't say anything, didn't want to make the situation even more awkward, but looking at each other didn't help the atmosphere between them disappear either.

Arkyn clears his throat awkwardly to break the atmosphere.

Arumi scratched her arm awkwardly too. Why does she like this? "We can have a drink if you want ...?"

They looked at each other again.

Arumi waited patiently, watching Arkyn's expression. She could see he was arguing about her invitation. She wasn't surprised if he didn't want to drink with her.

"I have to refuse that."

Of course Arkyn would refuse. As usual.

"I wanted to know about your dance earlier," Arkyn added.

The request suddenly surprised her. That's sexy dancing! Arumi's red lips smiled a little, "You really want to?"

Arkyn nodded slightly, "I'd like to give it a try. If you don't mind of course."

"Of course not," That was Arumi's original plan! "You just need to grab my hips from behind and start dancing to the rhythm with me."

"Oh?" Arkyn listened seriously, he also changed his position behind Arumi again, "Excuse me," he says before placing his hands on her hips.

Arumi chuckled.

Ask permission. Very weird.

"I'll start, and you follow. Okay?" Arumi told softly, "Your hands can move freely too, don't keep holding on to me."

"U-huh."

Arumi started moving her hips slowly.

Arkyn followed, panicking slightly and making them touch again.

Arumi stopped, "Feel the rhythm and follow my movements, Arkyn. We can't be in the same rhythm if you're not confident," she says tenderly, "You can imagine I'm the woman you like," she continued, ending with a small laugh.

Arkyn took a deep breath. It's more than that, "I try."

Arumi understood and started the dance again. She could feel Arkyn pausing a few times as if panicking and moving away from her so he could no longer touch her, she tried to lower her hips, letting him find a rhythm.

For a while, Arumi let them move like that until she was absolutely sure Arkyn was comfortable, she did her usual move.

For a beginner, Arkyn wasn't bad either.

Arumi didn't do anything sexier anymore, she didn't want to make Arkyn widen in shock like before. She laughed remembering that.

"Is there something funny?" Arkyn asked curiously.

"No," Arumi holds another laugh, "You're good at controlling yourself for a beginner."

Arkyn stopped dancing and released the grip on Arumi's hips.

Arumi automatically turned to face him, worry, "Is there something wrong?"

"I guess the guy you're dancing with can't help himself either?"

"That's right," says Arumi while tossing her hair back over her shoulder confidently, "You saw yourself what I am."

"You're so attractive? You're correct," Arkyn agreed seriously, "I can't believe this."

"About?" Arumi asked curiously.

"I thinking like them," Arkyn admitted honestly, "because right now ... I want to kiss your lips so badly."
