Totally different worlds

Daeirls It was a slow dance and his arm fit perfectly around lad that he and Dee had convincedthis felt great, like a seven-ton weight was lifted fro, his chin brushing ainstme of the natural way his body felt

Toward the end of the song, I opened my eyes and they locked with Blake’s

I sucked in a sharp breath Hadn’t expected hi Blake caused quite a bit of shock to shoot through irl was near hi about the way he stood there watching us was above the acceptable creep factor foras the boy pawed at her hips When they passed on, Blake was gone, but a weird, icky feeling had popped up in ot whenever I saw Blake, which meant I tried not to think about hi hih I lifted my head "Dawson didn’t come?"

Daemon shook his head "Nah, I think he’d feel like he was betraying Beth if he did"

"Wow," I whispered, unsure of what to think of that His dedication to Beth wasMaybe it was the alien DNA

Daehtened and the tux pulled taut across his shoulders

Yes, definitely the alien DNA at work on many, many aspects

After the slow dance, Andrew and Dee joined us She looked as divine as I thought she would in her dress and fresh, clean look I noted that Dee and Andrew kept a discreet distance between each other To me, it was clear they were just friends-- they lost

When Dae to drink, I was blindsided by Ash and her hurinned like a cat that ate an entire family of canaries "David, this is Katy Don’t worry about renored her and offered a hand "Nice to meet you"

David was handsome--very handsome--and could easily hold his oith the Luxen He had curly brown hair and his hiskey-colored eyes were friendly, too

He gave a good handshake "My pleasure"

And polite What was he doing with Ash?

"I have certain talents," she whispered in hts, and I frowned at her "Ask Daehed

Instead of hitting her, which was soging me to be used--I smiled sweetly as I brushed past her and placed h-charged electric surge passed fro out a low shriek, Ash jumped and spun around "You…"

Beside her, David looked confused, but behind hi Ash a little wink before turning around Daemon stood there with two cups, one eyebrow arched

"Bad little Kitten," he , I stretched up and kissed him It was an innocent one--or maybe it was on my end, but Daemon totally took it there When we parted, I was breathless

Leaving the group behind, we danced again, so closely that I kept waiting for a teacher to come around and break us apart Several times I danced with Lesa and even Dee joined in once We all looked ridiculous, flailing around and having fun

By the time I was back in Daemon’s arms, we’d been at the pro, heading out to the notorious field parties held on farms

"You ready to leave yet?" he said

"Do you have soo wild then

"I do" He smiled mischievously "I have a surprise"

And my mind went far, far south at that point Daemon and the word surprise in the sa adventure

"All right," I said, hoping I sounded adult and cool while irl dance

Finding Lesa, I told her ere leaving and gave her a hug "Did you guys get a hotel roohts

I slapped her arm "No God Well…I don’t think so He says he has a surprise for me"

"Totally the hotel roo to have, you know, the three-letter word"

I smiled

Lesa’s eyes narrowed and then flew open "Wait Did you guys--"

"I’ve got to go" I started to pull away, but she followed

"You have to tell me! I need to know" Behind her, Chad watched on curiously

Getting away, I shook o I’ll talk to you later Have fun"

"Oh, we’d better talk later I de to call her, I then looked for Dee but all I found was Ash, and after I zapped her earlier, she was looking like she wanted payback I veered in the other direction, scanning the floor for the y raven-haired girl

I gave up when I saw Daeain "Have you seen Dee?"

He nodded "I think she left with Andrew They decided to go to the diner or so and eat"

I stared
