"Well I'm not paralyzed
But I seem to be struck by you
I want to make you move
Because you're standing still"
~ Paralyzer by Finger Eleven
He's hypnotized. Can't tear his eyes from her. Doesn't want to.
His heart is racing, pounding, stopping.
She's looking at him.
He swallows and wipes his sweaty hands on his pants. He forces himself to breathe. One. Two. Three. Four. In, out. In, out.
He stands, pretends he's not having the hardest time possible just moving. He walks over to her. Manages a smile, small and yet so very hopeful. Hopeful and shy.
He extends his hand. "May I have this dance?"
He half expects rejection.
She doesn't give him such an easy out. "Of course," she smiles, taking his hand n hers. "I'd love that."
He walks her out to the dance floor feeling as if he's floating on air.
The funny thing is, her expression suggests that she is too.
