Never Make the First Move

Aaaaaaaah! Christian Slade, asking me to dance?!

“Sure,” I say, taking his hand.

There’s a small square in the garden serving as a dance floor, and some other couples are already swaying in the middle. Christian escorts me to the center, and we start swirling in time with the music. With a hand on my lower back and the other holding mine, he leads me like a professional.

“You’re an impressive dancer,” I say.

“You seem surprised.”

“Not many men can waltz this gracefully, not in this century at least.”

He chuckles. “Comes with the job, I guess.”

“Of being an actor?”

“Yeah, sooner or later we all have to star in a costume movie with a ball, and the dance-like-a-gentleman training becomes mandatory.”

“What movie?”

Christian raises a brow. “Not a fan, I take it?”

I blush. “No, it’s not that. But I’m not a stalker either. You’ve been in so many movies… I don’t remember them all.”

“Which ones have you seen, then?”

“Ah, well. Last year’s sci-fi flick… mmm… Dancing in the Rain, of course. See, that’s another one you had to waltz in.”

“Indeed. That’s my excuse for being a good dancer—what’s yours?”

“Several years of ballet with some ballroom dancing on the side.”

“Brilliant.”

“Your real-life British accent sounds weird.”

Christian flashes me another of his million-dollar smiles. “You don’t like it?”

“No, I do. It’s just that on TV, you usually speak American. It’s fascinating how you can sound totally natural with both accents.”

Christian chuckles. “That’s diction training for you. And having an American mum helped too.” He winks.

Is he flirting? Wow, it’s so weird to dance with a man I’ve only seen on TV who’s so incredibly gorgeous. Mr. Slade here looks like a marble statue, and I’m pretty sure his skin is smoother than mine. Not to mention, Christian has been named “Sexiest Man Alive” three years in a row, as well as Hollywood’s most wanted bachelor. This whole experience is surreal.

But for all his good looks and A-list status, I’m still at ease talking to him. And, weirdly enough, I don’t want to rip his clothes off and haul him off to my hotel room. Chatting with him feels more like talking to an old friend.

“You have an odd expression,” Christian says, interrupting my musings.

“It’s just that you’re so normal.” That came out wrong. He raises his brows and I hurry to explain better. “I thought I’d be completely star-struck by you. But you’re just a regular human being.”

Christian is silent for a split second, making me worry I might’ve offended him. But then he throws back his head, roaring with laughter.

My cheeks heat up. “Did I say something wrong?”

“No,” Christian says, still chuckling. “I wish I met more people like you.”

The song changes and we pause for a second.

“Another round?” Christian asks.

“Sure,” I say, and let him pirouette me around.

After some more dancing, I ask, “Do people treat you very differently?”

“You’ve no idea. Feeling normal is a welcome novelty.”

“Aren’t actors supposed to have these huge egos? You know, always needing to be the center of attention.
