What was most odd to Donovan about this girl wasn't her way of speaking, or her confusion about certain basic things... it was the feeling she managed to give him anytime he was with her. She gave him a feeling of serenity and peace that most kids his age could barely fathom. Of course, this scene would be far more romantic if they weren't dressed as Star Wars characters... "Thanks again for coming to the dance with me, Remmie..."
"I am glad I am the one you asked, Donovan." Remmie lifted her head to smile up to the boy. A smile that faded when the girl noticed that the music had stopped. Remmie was taking that as an indication that their dance would also come to a halt. Just when she was really starting to enjoy herself and having Donovan in such a close proximity.
"What's the matter?" He started to ask, noting the adorable little frown on her face. But then he realized what it was: she was actually upset because she didn't think they'd be dancing anymore. Not wanting to disappoint her, he made possibly the silliest, yet sweetest gesture of the night: he kept on dancing with her, even though no music was playing. "We don't need music to dance. Just each other."
That cheered her and had Remmie smiling again. It must have been one of the sweetest things Donovan had done for her since they had met. Keeping that soft smile settled across her lips, Remmie let her head rest against his chest once more as Donovan continued their dance despite the absence of music.
"I don't know if it's common with girls from your country, but damn... you got me wrapped around your finger already. I see you frown, and it's like I'd do anything to make it turn into a smile. And suddenly I feel like one of those lame guys in the old-fashioned novels they make us read in Lit." He grumbled, somehow not sure WHERE this more... tender side of him was coming from.
"Being wrapped around a finger is a good thing?" Remmie was still trying to familiarize herself with this slang that Donovan constantly used when he talked. "And you are not a lame guy." At least he wasn't in her eyes. He was like no other male she had known before, and Remmie was really liking those feelings that sprung forth whenever she was around him.
He liked hearing her say that... but also decided there were MUCH better things to do right now than explore this new side of him. "So... you said you like the whole 'kissing-me' thing, right? So... you won't mind if I do it again?" He asked with a little lopsided grin.
"Mind?" The teen questioned with a slow forming smile. "I think I would like it." She really could get used to the whole kissing thing just as long as it was Donovan who was doing the kissing.
Whoever would have figured that the usually goofy and typical-high-school-jock Donovan McHugh would be having some of the sweetest, most 'aww'-worthy moments of the night? His sister Zane would be horribly proud if she were to walk by and witness this. With a lopsided grin, he let his lips rest once more against hers, holding her tightly to himself.
With a deep inhalation of him, Remmie melted into the kiss. For the mergirl this was turning out to be the most magical of nights for her. A night she had never dreamed she'd ever experience, and one she didn't want to end. She knew, though, that it would, but she was going to hold onto it for as long as she could.
"Maybe its the French thing, I dunno, but you're not like any girl I've ever gone out with, Remmie." He said, holding her as they danced. "I just... I feel like I'd do anything for you."
Remmie smiled warmly up to him once Donovan broke the kiss and started speaking. "I would do anything for you." The petite blond returned as Donovan kept the pair dancing to the sound of silence, and then music when the band started onto another song. "Maybe even get lucky with you." She admitted with a shy smile and a brief glance down as Remmie suddenly felt her cheeks warming at that thought.
"...seriously?" He asked before having a chance to think about how lame it sounded. "I mean... if you want, we can go back to my place..." God he hoped he could find Zane here, ask her to stay out for a while after the dance since their parents were away for the week...
