Bite me

"Care to dance?” Jinxx asked. A smile forming across his face. I looked around anxiously. “It’s fine, I already asked Andy.” Jinxx said, holding his hand out to me. I slowly put my hand in his. He gently wrapped his hand around mine and pulled me along to the dance floor. I wrapped my arms around his neck and his arms circled my waist.
“I’m sorry about Andy’s behavior.” Jinxx said while we spun around the room. I rolled my eyes. “Andy sent you to dance with me didn’t he?” I asked. Jinxx sighed. “Yes.” I shook my head, but let Jinxx to continue to lead me in the slow dance. “It’s been awhile since I’ve seen Andy act like that towards a girl.”
“Act like a dick?” I sneered. “Possessive.” Jinxx corrected. “He’s scared of losing you.” I looked at Jinxx, i'm sure my disbelief was visible on my face. “I’m being serious.” Jinxx insited. “I’m not his to lose.” I snapped. I pulled away from Jinxx and stormed off the dance floor. My eyes burned as tears threatened to spill over.
I fought them back as I took my place back in the corner of the room. I watched as Jinxx walked off the dance floor. A few minutes later, Andy was standing beside me. “Dance with me.” He demanded. I glared at him. Andy stepped closer to me and my heart fluttered. He lowered his head and whispered, “I’m sorry, please come dance with me.” I could hear the desperation in his voice.
I thought about telling him to fuck off, but instead, I let him lead me to the dance floor. “Isn’t it strange for a vampire to dance with his slave?” I asked as I placed my hands on his shoulders. “Does it look like I care what anyone here thinks?” Andy asked as he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me against him. I rested my head against his shoulder. I squeezed my eyes shut and tried not to cry.
Andy lead me around the dance floor. I chose to forget that I was being held captive, that I was a piece of property, that when this ball was over Andy would go back to being a dick. I just let this moment exist. Just us and the music. Once the song was over, Andy led me off the dance floor. We walked outside and Andy held my hand.
“Clarity.” I turned and looked at him. He was staring up at the moon. “I love you.”
