Thinking about Adi hurting sent a pang straight to her heart. She hated knowing she had something to do with his pain. All of the heartache over a stupid fight.
"That's only because he wears his heart on his sleeve." AJ was a suffer in silence type. She liked to appear strong, and the lion was not one to ask for a shoulder to cry on. AJ possessed a deal with it attitude, and it worked for her.
"You can say that again." One thing that she was sure of was that there would be no initiating fights on her end.
"I think our fight taught us a lot, and neither one of us want to go down that road again." When they weren't speaking it was as if she lost her better half. A piece of her was missing, and her heart literally hurt.
Something had definitely gotten in to Benny.
"I have to say that I really like this side of you." Benny was perfect just the way he was, but seeing him a bit more talkative and outgoing was refreshing.
"You have nothing to be red about." It was just AJ, and she would never intentionally make him feel uncomfortable, and no judging would be happening by her.
The pair continued to dance, and AJ pretty much took over the lead.
"See? It's not so bad." She didn't know why he didn't think he could dance.
"You're doing great. You haven't stepped on my toes once." She flashed him another smile. He had nothing to worry about. Her mind kept going right back to Adi though.
"I just wish I could find him... he is the only reason why I came to this ball." Adi would be the most attractive guy in the room, and she was going to miss out on him. Such a bummer.
"At least I bumped into you." Hanging with some of the gang was better than hanging with none of the gang.
