i'll wait another day for some reasons, hugh was saddened by what he saw in those beautiful hazel eyes - surprise? shock? disbelief? she didn't know, or she never wanted to know... either one could hit him like a club. and then he looked at her again, and saw the expression shift to something he now couldn't quite read. under the room's pale lighting, her gorgeous golden skin was almost luminous. despite the neutral colors she's wearing, she easily stood out in a room full of beautiful people. simply stunning. enchanting. and that goes beyond what you see on the outside. he so understand why most men in the room would glance her way every now and then. he too, can't seem to take his eyes off her whenever she's around. man, if they only knew what else is there aide from what is visible. for everything that these peopel can't see are the very reason why he's feeling this way right now. hey, he doesn't even know what exactly they are. or how much. to quote neruda: "...without knowing how, or when or from where...simply without complexitie sor pride..." whoa whoa whoa, man, where did that come from? "hey, hotshot, are we here?" he heard her sexy voice as she laid a hand on his arm. he flinched, but managed a smile anyway. famke was eeying him curiously. man, how did i look? "oh, hugh, you are sooo hot.." she said, mock seductively, but it sure can make any sane man's blood boil. sheesh. he blinked. "huh?!" she laughed, slapping his arm. "man, you are so not in this room! i was asking if you need anything?" he smiled, unconsciously running a hnad through his shoulder length hair. he was midway through his long locks when he noticed famke rolling her eyes. "what?" she shook her head, smiling mysteriously. "nothing." "you said i was hot?" "oh, so you heard that one huh?" she arched a brow. "well, but of course. it was aid in such a way that can make any man..."" "oh-kaayy!" she raised a hand. "stop! i don't wanna hear. just tell me what it is you want to tell me..." "do i have anything to say to you?" he teased. oh, if he can only stay longer. "hey, you had that weird... look the moment you entered the room. and you..." she pointed to his chest. "were looking at me! ha? ha? what is it?" he looked at her finger poking him on the chest. she quickly kept her hand sto herself when she saw him looking. sighing, he said "well, i have to go... really have to." "aaaw... that's too bad. you won't stay to watch tatu?" "wha...hey, i'm not like elijah or ashton, okay? there are far more important things that makes me want to stay if only i can." he said, almost too quickly. "yeah i know." she was looking at him with that mischievous twinkle in her eyes. "why so defensive?" he simply smiled warmly, never taking his eyes off her. "just want to make it clear that there are far more important reasons why i'm here and why i wish i don't have to go attend dance lessons tonight..." famke just nodded. what will she say to that? that she wish he could stay too? but then - whoa wait a minute! "dance lessons?" her eyes twinkled even more. hhe grinned sheepishly. "yes. can you believe that? hey ---" he caught her arm, as if to stop her. she laughed. she was just looking at him up and down with a mock disgusted look on her face. "you're the meanest person i know, famke..." she just smiled, and then she did the unexpected. "dan-cing queen... young and sweet, on-ly se-ven-teen..." she pulled both of his hands and started maneuvering him into a little swing dance. she was doing these funky exaggerrated steps, as she sang almost in a whisper, so that only he can hear. he felt special. and she looked both sexy and funny. "dan-cing queen... blah blah blah...come on hugh shwo me what you've learned so far." she raised their arsm and pulled a bit more as she kept on with the improvised swing dance. step in, out... left, right... "blah blah blah blah blah... oh yeah!" another step closer, hugh held his breath. then when she stopped singing and then looked at him with mock frustration, as soon as she let go of hsi hands, she grabbed her by the waist with one hand, held on to her hand with another, he pulled her close and started humming a tango. she sort of had a panicked look on her face when he grabbed her but when she heard him humming she smiled, which quickly faded when he spun her around. eeekkk! then half dipped her, another reeekkk! and before she made any anooying girl-ish shriek, they were both back in an upright position. "such a show-off." famke whsipered to herself. "well, i wouldn't wanna be outshined by that little swing number you did awhile ago..." "ha ha" famke made a face, then realizinmg they practically had their arsm around each other, she quickly let go, disengaging herself from his arms. uh-oh... i don't like this... "well, famke..." she looked at him. "i really should get going..." yeah, you said that awhile ago you fool. why are you still here? "alright, take care then..." she smiled, then leane in to give him a peck on the cheek. but stopped midway when she realized he was looking at her "that way" again. shit, don't give me that! can anyone hand me a remote that can make him not look at me like that? "i will... and you'll probably still see me, this time around new york after this." "hmmmm?" "i'll be moving to new york for the broadway thing." "oh...great!" was all she said. waht else needs to be said? "good. you're gonna get to have a taste of the city." "yeah... will you be there, famke?" "what?" "for the play. will you watch?" he said, looking like a kid asking someoen if she can come see him score goals on a soccer match. she smiled. "of course..." he smiled back. their gaze locked. anyone who'd see them would porbably wonder what's going on. and anyone who'd look closer would think these two will be soon engaged in a passionate kiss. "uhm..." famke smiled uncertainly. what is happening? hugh shoook his head. what the heck... then pulled her close and wrapped his arms around her. shew as surprised at first, but soon, she had her arms around him too, tapping on his back. in those few moments he had her in his arms, he wished circumstances were different. that there isn't anything to hold them back, away from each other. as he inhaled for the last time that night, her lovely scent, he pulled away. he held her face an kissed her tenderly on her cheek. then looked at her, touching her almost bare shoulder with the back of his hand. she just looked at him. he wanted to say "you're beautiful, i want you and... more..." instead what escaped his mouth was "i'll see you around, famke." she pulled away. "yeah, you take care." looking at her, he wanted to just tell her everything... how he feels, how beautiful she is again and again... and how he wish he can stay with her more... but his feet are already taking steps away from her, and towards the door. but eh just had to keep looking back, at her lovely smiling face, her hand giving a little wave. he smiled and nodded before he turned his back. in another lifetime, maybe. |
