KYLE
What is Max up to? And why do I have to be involved? Why is it always me anyway?
Michael doesn't look happy about Max dancing with his prey, I wonder if now finally, there'll be some long overdue fight between those two ... with me as the cool guy who pulls them apart, hehe.
I walk towards the dance floor, standing only a few feet away from them. I mean, what am I supposed to do? Dance with one while Max charms the other or talk with Tess in the meantime?
KELS
"Excuse me, ladies. Can I join you for a moment?"
I turn, seeing Max standing next to Liz. I raise an eyebrow in question and briefly glance at Liz. "Sure, I won't mind but I'm slightly tired anyway, so if you don't mind dancing only with one girl, then Liz is all yours."

"Hey, I know he didn't hurt you and that you are over him but it is a bit creepy that he suddenly appeared her, that's why I'm asking."
I shake my head, “I am fine, Alex. Jake is barely even a beep on my radar but yeah, it is a bit creepy. Seriously, I am more worried about you and I don’t think that I thanked you before.”
“Huh?” Alex asks looking slightly confused.
“For standing up for me.” I say with a smile. “Maybe I should start calling you my knight in shining armor!”

“. . . Liz is all yours.”
And that’s when I falter. I turn to Max and see a reassuring smile cross his face before I turn to Kels with nothing less than a look of shock. She can’t be seriously thinking of leaving Max and me together on a dance floor. She has to know that I’m bound to do something incredibly embarrassing.
“Uh, sure,” I say, wincing internally at the small stammer but smile through it. “I thought you were going to have drinks with Tess,” I say. His expression turns and I understand that he didn’t hear me very clearly over the music. Placing my hand on his shoulder, I stretch to speak closer to his ear and repeat, “Tess, I thought you were going to share some drinks with her.”

“Maybe I should start calling you my knight in shining armor!”
I can feel the tips of my ears heating up, thank God that the light isn't the best here so Isabel can't see that.
"I don't know about that, I mean, isn't the knight in shining armor supposed to be saving the girl instead of being knocked down?" I ask, shifting slightly. "But I honestly like that name more than officer."

Aww.... I like "officer"Sternbetrachter wrote:"But I honestly like that name more than officer."

Kels leaves as quickly as I arrive, leaving me a bit stunned as to the next step. Why did she do that? Is it what she almost said -- that Liz actually does like me? Michael is momentarily forgotten as Liz turns to me. I smile at her, hoping she won't be mad at me.
She's talking to me, but it's not easy to hear what she's saying. Then suddenly, she's in my arms, talking into my ear. “Tess, I thought you were going to share some drinks with her.”
Her words take a moment to penetrate my mind. I'm lost for a moment with just the feel of her in my arms. Up until now, the closest the two of us have been was the first night when we were chatting alone in the house, before Alex came back, drunk. She's small, like Tess, but she seems to fit in my arms an entirely different way -- perfectly.
"Yeah, I was," I tell her as we settle into the dance. I wonder what it would be like to kiss her? "I was just going to --" I stop myself, not sure how I'm going to explain. What if I'm over-reacting? What Liz doesn't appreciate me stepping in?
"I just wanted a dance with the birthday girl, if that's okay? You look ... really great tonight. Having fun?" I ask.
*Michael*
I should be trying to decide which of these three lovelies I should be targeting now, but they're really not the goal. But when I turn to see how my show is affecting Kels, I see Max there. Liz stays with him but Kels leaves.
"Sorry ladies. Be back in a bit," I say, although I don't know if they can hear me. I slip away and walk as quickly as I can through the dance floor, dodging different bodies until I come across Kels, just before she reaches the edge of the floor.
"Hey," I say, stepping in front of her. "Come on and give me a dance."

As the song continues and Max starts dancing with me, I find myself really enjoying the moment. There was just something about being there—so close to him—that seemed to be so right. “Yeah I was,” he says.
“I was just going to—I just wanted a dance with the birthday girl, if that’s okay?”
I smile and nod, even though I’m not sure he sees it.
“You look . . . really great tonight,” he continues, still stumbling over his words more in this minute than I think I've ever heard him before. “Having fun?”
I wait to reply for a moment choosing to concentrate on the dance for a few seconds, trying to fight through the haze filling my mind. Tess gets to be this close to him just about whenever she wants to. Just another reason to envy her, I suppose. Although, I don’t know if being in this constant state of fuzzy thoughts would be a good thing. But it does feel so good.
“I’m having so much fun. I am going to need to think of a really good way to thank everyone for putting this together. And a really special way to thank whatever one of you it was that thought to bring my family and friends down. As great as the gifts and the restaurant and the club have been, that really was the best present by far. It made my night.”

"Mike, isn't it? That almost sounded like a demand, you know," Kels says.
I grin wide. I knew she'd remember my name. I bet she watches every second of the computer video cast. "That's me, but I prefer 'Michael'," I say taking her hand.
"If you don't wanna dance, I can buy you a drink or something," I suggest. She seemed to like dancing with Liz, but maybe she just wanted a break.

I have to smile at that. I'm so glad she's enjoying it all, but I can't exactly just tell her it was my idea. It would sound like I'm bragging, or fishing for gratitude.
"I'm glad," I tell her. "I thought you would like it. I like to be with my family on special occassions, too. Becoming 21 is always a very special day."

'Hmmm, well that's an interesting way to run interference,' I say to myself as I watch Max talk to Liz and Kels, then start to dance with Liz as Kels makes her way off the dance floor. 'But it was certainly effective, seeing as how Michael actually seems to be interested in Kels, which is...going to be interesting. Knowing him though and his unconscious arrogance, I doubt he's going to get very far.' I shake my head in pity for him. When is he going to learn?
It occurs to me that maybe I should be slightly jealous that Max is out there dancing with Liz, both talking and smiling sweetly at each other? I know I probably should, but I just don't. The jealously just isn't there. For one thing, it is her birthday for goodness sake, he is entitled to a dance with the birthday girl afterall. But knowing what I've gathered from sideways glances over the past week, I bet this is going to be the catalyst for something to happen between the two of them, if not tonight, then maybe in the next few days or so.
He just spends too much time looking at her when he thinks I'm not looking, too much time bent to listening to her every word, but not doing much about it because I've seen shy girls like her back home, the ones who don't even see it when someone's interested in them because it's not something they're paying attention to. And if they do see it, they don't know how to react to it. Max obviously doesn't know that because it looks like indifference to him. Well I hope he sees it for what it truely is now.
Speaking of interest, I spot Kyle standing on the edge of the dance floor, watching Max and Michael very carefully, almost as if he's waiting to see what or if something will happen so that he can go in there and break them up. Poor Kyle, always relegated to come in and fix other people's messes. Quite the stand-up guy though... An evil little thought suddenly enters my brain and I act on it before I can talk myself out of it. Time to stop sitting on the sidelines, watching others take risks. Time to take a risk of my own.
I sneak up behind Kyle and speak loud enough into his ear for him to hear my persuasive words, "Valenti. You. Me. Dance floor. Now." And before he even has a chance to reply, I grab his arm and we're off to join Liz and Max.
