Craig McMorris Imagines

Dancing On My Own PART TWO

“He’s staring over here.”  Torstein says into my ear as we step off the dance floor.  I’m out of breath from dancing.

“Who’s staring?”  I ask, though I know the answer.  He can only be talking about one person.

“Craig.  He won’t look away.”  Torstein continues. 

“Who cares?”  I ask Torstein as I try to catch my breath.

“You cared about an hour ago!”  Torstein reminds me.  I roll my eyes at him.

“Well I don’t care anymore.  Now stop talking about him.  I'm over him.”  I tell Torstein.  I can tell he wants to say more, but he bites his tongue.

“Fine.  Are ready to go?  Should I go grab are coats?”  Torstein asks me.  I didn’t realize how late it was.

“Oh yeah.  I guess we should get going.  I’ll wait for you here.” I tell Torstein.  He then disappears to retrieve our coats.

“Is Torstein like your body guard?”  Craig says as he sneaks up next to me.

“What do you mean?”  I ask him.

“He hasn’t left your side since we last spoke and he keeps giving me death stares.”  Craig tells me.

“He’s just being a good friend.”  I tell him.  I cross my arms and turn away from Craig to show my disinterest in him.  Craig lingers without speaking again.  “Why are you still here?”

“I want to talk to you, but I don’t know what to say.  I don’t know what to say to make you like me again.”  Craig says.  I turn to face him to be sure he’s serious.

“I didn’t like you, Craig.  I was in love with you, but I have to get over that now.” I tell Craig. My alcohol buzz is wearing off and everything is suddenly becoming very real again.

“It seems like you’re having no problem getting over me.”  Craig says in a sort of sad voice. I always hated when he was sad, but I can’t let him get to me.

“You’re the one kissing other girls.” I retort. 

“I was trying to get over you!  I thought I wanted to be single again.  I thought it was best for us to go our separate ways, but…” Craig trails off.

“But what, Craig?  You miss me?”  I say with serious attitude.  He doesn’t get to be the broken hearted one here.  I’m the one who was dumped. 

“Yeah I miss you!  Of course I miss you!  You’re the person I've noticed all night.  From the moment I saw you, you were all I could focus on. You were dancing all alone in the middle of the room and I’ve never seen anyone more beautiful.” Craig tells me.  I feel myself getting weak. I’m falling for it.

“You can’t say these things, Craig!  You can’t leave me and then come running back whenever you feel like it.  You can’t do that to me.”  I say to him.  He gives me his sad puppy dog eyes. 

“I didn’t know it would hurt this bad to be without you.  I’m sorry for hurting you.  I wish I could go back and undo everything. I wish I never let you go.”  Craig says.  I don’t know what comes over me, but I reach for Craig.  I throw my arms around his neck and kiss him.  He puts his hands on my waist and kisses me back.  I pull away from his as soon as I can.

“I gotta go.”  I whisper into Craig’s ear.  I see Torstein coming towards us with my coat in his hand.

“You kissed me.”  Craig says as a smile appears on his face.  “When can I see you again?”

“I don’t know.”  I say with a smirk.  I walk away from Craig and head towards Torstein.

“Did I just see you kissing Craig?”  Torstein asks with a confused look on his face.

“Yupp.”  I reply simply.

“Yeah you really seem over him.”  Tor says sarcastically.  I nudge him.

“Shut up.”  I say with a laugh.
