Things were going wonderfully.
Lux and Hoom were fantastic dancers and Estelle and Reo were very good competition, but even the great Chii and Lupe needed a break at some point.
Breathing hard, we simultaneously stopped and looked at each other. Without saying much I let her reach for a chair and sit heavily, her face red.
“Everything all right, darling?” I asked, worried that our dancing was way too much. She looked up and smiled.
"No. I'm just a little tired. Nothing to sweat over." She waved it off as I smiled and reached for her hand.
“Would you like some punch?” I asked.
“That would be nice right now.”
I winked at her and turned with a skip in my step (despite being so warn out). Many of the others were crowded around there as well, probably just as tired from the effort of tangoing as Lupe and I.
I saw Lux there, laughing along with Hoom about something.
“You did wonderfully my friend!” I said and he turned. “And your lovely lady did marvelous as well~” I was about to kiss her hand when he smacked my hand away.
“Hey bud, no funny ideas with my girl!”
I laughed nervously. “Alright alright~! Oh and Lux I cannot thank you enough for suggesting Lupe to me, she’s beautiful, talented, and has a wonderful personality. I’m grateful.”
He smirked, slapping my back. “No problem kid, now hurry up and get back to her, she looks bored over there.”
“Right~” I quickly filled two cups with punch and bowed shortly to them. “I’ll be seeing you.” Before heading back.
I was only a few feet away, smiling like an idiot and loving the pink flush come over her cheeks.
I CANNOT BELIEVE I did what I did D:
Maybe it was the nerves….?
I didn’t know it had happened until it had happened. Somehow I’d lost my balance and I felt the adrenaline rush as the cups in my hand went flying, their contents hurling towards the place I was walking to.
Oh HECKS no!
I looked up in time to see that one of the cups had splashed ALL OVER Lupe, soaking into her dress and making her skin shine.
“GAHHH!!” I screamed, my hands flying up. “Lupe! Lupe I’m so sorry! I--”
It was one disaster after another with us. I’d already tried to make amends for the last time I’d done something wrong to her, but now I saw the fire burn in her eyes and her hand make a fist. Oh Arceus above us… I was dead this time.
“CHII!!” She raged.
“Darling it was a complete accident! Let me grab some napkins!”
“RAHH!” People stared as she stood up and wrenched a cup of punch from someone else’s hand and splashed it all over me. “What were you thinking?!”
“I-Uh--Um…!” I felt the punch drip down my face, unable to take it anymore. I’m just not cut out for her, am I? How come everything looks up and suddenly drops down with us?
“Lupe… Lupe I’m sorry--it was an accident! I--” What was I saying? I was so bad at this. “...Excuse me for ruining this night for you.”
She was still fuming but I went back long enough to grab from napkins and try to offer them to her, to which everyone watching had dispersed and the music had resumed.
At first she said nothing and only stared at me, nearly glaring.
I sighed. "How many times must I make it up to you in two days?" I almost laughed a bit at the last words, trying goodheartidly to make her smile. "Maybe I'm just a stupid, klutzy island boy who couldn't make it with mainlander girl like you."
She might have been getting tired of my sweet-talk, but at the same time I really couldn't tell.
At this I tried to wipe off the punch from her face with the napkin I'd brought but she stopped me. "Augh, I'll do it!" She said, and again I wasn't sure if she was still angry or not.
"Hey," I held her shoulders cautioisouly and she looked up at me. "Do you want to talk on the balcony or do you want to dance some more? Whatever you want, darling."
She stared and I held a steady gaze back. How could this relationship be any worse? I'd already embarrassed her three times in two days! Now I wondered if I really was going to survive in this place O.o
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OH GOSH TEH DRAMA!!! D: (sry for shortness!...... Writer‘s block is a horrible thing)
Geez this is not what I’d first thought would happen but I guess it did (Poor Chii--Everything turns out so bad for him! But I hope this one turns out right). Didn’t want to go too much into Lupe’s rage attack, it might have gotten really hairy then! D;
If I made Lupe out of line I’ll totally change this and I'm sorry she doesn't talk much (not rly sure what she's feeling)
EDIT! Since I have been informed that everyone has fled to the balcony, I think it best if I changed this XD (I totally forgot everyone was there!)
