Julia loves to dance. Adores it. And every once in a while, we go dancing together. "Want to join me?" she asked, smiling. I sighed inwardly and said "Sure." She reached out a ten and pulled me onto the floor, where I proceeded to do my best to keep up with the tempo. But I still felt spotlighted, watched by a thousand judging eyes, just waiting for the thumbs-down. Call me paranoid, but that's how I felt. The song ended and I hoped for a quick retreat. The next tune the DJ pulled up was a lot slower. That I can handle. It gave me an excuse to pull Julia closer. She laughed when I whispered that into her ear.
We danced slowly on the darkened dance floor, cuddling under the slowly turning lights, surrounded by dozens of other couples doing the same. Every once in a while, I would sneak a hand down and squeeze her ass through her skirt. Her response was to do the same to me. We were barely moving when Julia looked up over my shoulder and said, "Hi!" I broke away from her to see an old friend standing behind me, Roddy Edgar. He cocked his furry head querulously and said, "May I have this dance?" Julia and I at once said, "Of course." I looked at her, she looked at me. We laughed. "I think he meant you," she said.
"Indeed," Roddy said. I stammered for a second, then said, "I accept." She smiled and wandered off through the crowd. The music changed; another slow song. Had he known, or merely hoped? It didn't matter; I opened my arms and took him in, cursing my predilection for full-length sleeves. I wanted to feel him.
