The Ballroom Dance

Having said the second part, I guess completing the pieces of the puzzle will be the appropriate thing to do. So, this will be the missing piece part 1, "The ballroom dance".

The hero was leaning against one of the pillars in the ballroom with a glass of wine in his hand, not too bothered with what is going in the ballroom. As always maintaining his cool, he took several sips to drown his boredom. Just then, he noticed a falling star in the dark skies. The heroine came into the picture, wearing a splendid dress. She smiled fondly towards the hero but the hero gave away a confused look. She approached him and asked him, "You are the most good-looking guys here. Care to have a dance with me?" The hero simply replied that he could not dance. She figured that he would not dance with someone he does not like so she tried to use her 'magic' to make the hero to like her. "You are going to like me...Did it work?" She enticed. The hero could not reply and suddenly, she grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the centre of the ballroom.

The hero, feeling awkward, allowed her to take control of the situation. The music started to play and the waltz for the moon soon began. The hero meant what he said, he could not dance. The pair kept banging themselves with neighbouring dancing couples. There was once the hero accidentally lost his balance and threw himself at the heroine. Feeling embarrassed, he began to walk away but the heroine pulled his hand again. She persisted and the hero soon able to blend in with the crowd. Their dance became more fluent. It ended with the hero and heroine looking deep into each other's eyes. But the fireworks suddenly interrupted the romance. The heroine spotted the man she was looking for at the party and she walked away in hurry leaving the hero in the centre of the dance-floor. The hero could just watch her disappear from his view. And so, this is the seeds of love that has just begun to sprout even though the hero has forgotten to ask the heroine's name.

I was listening to the song, "How Deep Is Your Love" and somehow I felt like writing all of these down. Well, I guess the song blend in perfectly with the story.
