Lakisha looked away.
"It's nothing," she stated. "It's just... you always ask surprising questions."
She chuckled slightly to ease the tension.
She hadn't said no.
But she hadn't said yes either. Far away, the music changed to "Megalomania" (Muse), and she started dancing a close slow with Ethan, putting her head on his shoulder during the epic refraint.
After that came a song that surprised her: Undisclosed Desires. She wondered if Ethan was listening to the same; probably since he was wording the lyrics silently.
I know you suffered, but I don't want you to hide
It's cold and loveless, I won't let you be denied
She had still her arms around his shoulder, and they were looking straight into each other's eyes.
"Trust me - you can be sure
I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
...
I want to recognize your beauty's not just a mask'
Dude, Lakisha thought. Why had boys always to 'ask out'. Couldn't they just kiss her en be over with it?
Because now was the perfect moment.
When she thought about it, she realized a kiss was not a matter of love, but more a matter of moment. Love and attraction played an important part, but the major one was the moment.
She lightly parted her lips, hoping Ethan would understand.
