“Time is Running Out”

Muse

“OH! YOU CAME!” JENNIFER CRIED. “WITH MICAH! OH MY GOD!”

I tried to grab ahold of her to calm her down. She was embarrassing herself.

“What is she on?” I heard Micah mutter under his breath. I bit back my laugh and tugged Jennifer away from the dance floor.

“I didn’t know you were coming,” I said to her.

“Of course! Rachel invited me,” Jennifer explained. “I came with Daan and our friends!” She pointed to our small group from the lunch table. I wasn’t surprised to see Samantha standing there with Daan, Jake and his friends.

“And look at you! You came with Micah!” Jennifer continued. “I had no idea you were coming at all.”

Ever since Rachel invited me to the dance, I had avoided the topic completely. It really wasn’t anyone’s business whether I was going or not, and who with. I knew if I brought up going with Micah, I would only get slammed with a slew of questions about it. It was better to let Jennifer think what she wanted about seeing the two of us together. I wouldn’t bother to mention the bonfire afterwards.

“I’m going to head back,” I gestured to Micah, who was standing in the distance. “I’ll see you later, okay?”

“Sure thing, Charlie. I understand.” She winked at me. I wanted to groan. I turned on my heel and walked back to Micah. He stood against the wall, phone in one hand, the other shoved into his pocket.

“I’m back.”

He lifted his head. “In one piece, I see.” He slipped his phone back into his pocket. “Marshall said he’s going to start the logs around eight-thirty or so. We could head over now if you wanted. Or we could dance one more time?” Micah suggested. I found myself focused on the dark warmth of his eyes and the heavy scent of his cologne.

“W-we could dance again.”

Micah poked my shoulder. “I’m just questioning your stability. You keep looking like you’re about to faint. I mean, I’m used to having that effect on the ladies, but not with you.” Other ladies. Ladies who weren’t me. A surge of jealously spread throughout my body and twisted in my chest. I lifted my chin, trying to hide the fact that his comment had bothered me.

“Don’t flatter yourself. It’s hot in here.” I stood up straighter. He grinned, as if he knew exactly what he had done, and held out a hand.

I took it. Micah slid into the rhythm of the upbeat song playing, while I sort of did my own awkward thing. I completely ignored the stupid smirk on his face, silently teasing me for my horrible moves. A few times, he had tried to grab me and guide my hips the way he had before, but I darted out of his reach. The less physical contact between us, the more clearly I could think. After two more dances, Micah tugged us breathlessly from the dance floor and glanced at his phone.

“Wanna head over to the bonfire now?”

For some strange reason, I was suddenly tempted to tell Micah I had changed my mind.
