Heaven

Promise

" sorry if your star struck, blame it on the star dust - if there's a heaven we don't care if we get in."

I giggle out as Ben lifted me off my feet and spun me around before placing me back on the ground. I grab his hand tightly in mine when I go stumbling backwards.

He helps me steady myself when Skeeter walks over while grinning, "What's going on over here?" She asks while raising an eyebrow, Silas stood behind her smirking.

I pull away from Ben and stand next to him tensely while staring at them, "What would make you think something was going on? Can't two human individuals dance together without anything going on?" I ramble out, feeling my face burn.

They laughed out and I felt Ben place his hand softly on my back, rubbing his thumb back and forth. He knew my revers were shot.

It's crazy that this guy makes me want to murder him but hug him at the same time. He drive me up the wall.

"Haters stand over there, he's a wonderful dancer," I say and Graylen laughs lightly.

She twists her hair around her fingers while Silas chuckled out, "Better be treating her right," He says, looking at Ben with a stern expression.

I cough out, "Same goes for you," I reply while looking at my brother, we shared knowing looks before nodding.

We didn't have to speak to hear each other.

He shook his head before guiding Graylen away, he gives me a head nod before walking through the students.

I turn around, noticing Ben was now much closer than I anticipated. I look up at him and bat my eyelashes, "Hello there," I say, grinning.

He wraps his arm back around my waist and grabbed my hand in his free one, spinning us around as the music changed again.

There was this warmth between us, I could do this all night. Just dancing with him, it seemed so silly but he was gentle.

For a murderous beast he was surprisingly gentle.

I placed a hand on his shoulder and let him guide me around, it felt like it was just us here. When I looked up at him he was already staring down at me.

When our eyes connected everything went silent around us and it felt like we were the only people in the room.

My head was a mess of thoughts and I felt my body tense slightly, I look down at his lips before back up to his eyes.

He spun me outwards, catching me by surprise - causing me to yelp out. He chuckles at me and sways us back and forth.

"May I intervene?" A voice asks and I look over to see Asher standing there grinning.

I laugh out and Ben rose an eyebrow, "Just for one dance, and than I'll return her back to you," He says, grabbing my hand and pulling me away before Ben could protest.

He growled behind us and Asher pulled me to his chest, "You promise you'll be careful tonight?" He whispers and I shot him a deadpanned look.
