Megan 1- Dancing and drama


    I know I am not the most patient person, but I can’t help but wonder how long my idiot brother is going


    to take before he asks Ryann to dance. He thinks he’s been ying it cool but even a blind man could


    see that he’s gotten attached to her, and I suspect that she likes him too. Although she is much better


    at hiding it. She is a strange person, Ryann. An unusualbination of reserved and bold. She fights


    and resists my brother like it’s easy, but then struggles to talk back or look someone in the eye when


    she’s ufortable. Still, they’re sweet together even if they have been sneaking around to spend


    time together since the moment we met. Bemy courting my new friend has been entertaining to


    watch, although I do wonder if he’s ever going to actually admit it to her. I suspect that he thinks she


    already knows, but I think her confidence is so low that it won’t ur to her until he does something


    really obvious. Which brings me back to my original thought, why isn’t he asking her to dance? I picked


    the most perfect dress for her and she looks perfect, if a little ufortable


    in the clothing she isn’t used to. I watch as some of the Shifter women approach my brother and he


    sends them away without a care. I can’t stop an eye roll. He really can’t think he is


    being subtle… Can he? Either way, I’m done watching. Moving quickly to avoid being caught. by well–


    wishers, I dash through the crowd and make a beeline straight to my brother and my friend, greeting


    them brightly.


    “Hey! What are you both doing hiding over here? You should be dancing! Someone needs to get things


    started around here and Tristan is a terrible dancer.” I don’t actually care about his dancing skills, I


    would happily dance right now if only he would actually ASK me. But he is busy socialising and I don’t


    want to interrupt. Ryannughs and blushes.


    “We aren’t hiding Megs, just sitting, and I’m perfectly happy right here.” I roll my eyes and wave as


    Kelly calls out to me. Clearly working on Ryann will get me nowhere, I’ll have better luck pestering Bels.


    I turn to face him.


    “Ask the girl to dance Bemy Kane.” I rush away before either of them can object. I chat with Kelly but


    I keep an eye on the two of them. I see my brother hold out a hand to Ryann and her shaking her head.


    I watch them bicker for a minute, then to my amusement, Bemy steals one of her shoes and holds it


    in the air. The two of them are so cute together. Ryann looks annoyed, but not really upset. I think she


    secretly enjoys his teasing. I’m proven right when she finally lets him lead her onto the dance floor, a


    reluctant smile on her face. The two of them make a cute couple. I hear some of the other women


    grumbling about it, but even they seem reluctantly charmed by the pair and their antics. I suppose


    Bemy usually hides

    that more yful side of himself from them. They can’t deny that Ryann is good for him, even if they


    don’t quite understand their rtionship yet. I don’t think anyone does, although to be honest, Ryann


    SHOULD. She would know if they’re meant to be together. Then again, based on the questions she


    asked me while we were dress shopping, she might just be biding


    her time.


    Finally, Tristan appears and asks me to dance. I let him stumble around the dance floor clumsily for an


    entire song before I let him go.


    “It’s alright, I won’t torture you anymore. I know dancing isn’t really your thing.” I tell him graciously. I


    love to dance, but this is my party, I can find other partners. He shouldn’t have to be miserable to make


    me happy.


    “Thank you darling. I love you.” He k*sses me on the cheek chastely then returns to his corner of the


    room where he is joking with a group of men I only vaguely know. I nce around for my live action


    drama of the night and it doesn’t take me long to locate my Bemy and Ryann. Bel has led her off of


    the dance floor but he is still holding her awfully close. I watch as he leans in and I have to repress a


    squeal as he k*sses her. I watch Ryann run outside and Bemy follows her. I was right, they are


    guaranteed entertainment. Although I’m not sure about seeing my brother k*ss a girl, I am a little


    jealous of how besotted they clearly are with each other. How they can’t seem to stay away from each


    other. I sigh. I want that. Wait…. What am I even thinking? I HAVE that. This is MY engagement party. I


    have no reason to be jealous. The only reason Tristain isn’t with me right now is that he doesn’t like to


    dance. That’s all. I move through the room socialising and the whole time I feel oddly alone. Maybe


    because I’m used to having Darrien shadow me everywhere. Actually, he should still be nearby. He’s


    working tonight after all, even if he is also a guest. Sure enough, I find him sitting not too far from where


    I’ve been standing. I’m about to approach him when I realise that something is off. He’s always so


    pleasant but right now he looks upset. Irritable, honestly he looks pissed off. Maybe he is upset that he


    has to work during a party? But that doesn’t mean he can’t still enjoy himself. There is plenty of food


    and drink and he could always socialise or ask someone to dance if he really wanted to.. I wonder if he


    would be a good dancer or not. I suspect he probably would be. He is always very controlled in his


    actions in a way that I think would lead itself well to coordinating dance steps. But why isn’t he


    dancing? And why is he so unhappy? Maybe there’s someone specific he wanted to dance with and


    she’s taken? Maybe he just hates parties? Either way I can’t stand to watch it anymore. If he isn’t going


    to ask someone to dance I’ll just ask him myself. My heart is racing as I approach him. Probably just


    because I’m excited to dance again, to solve the mystery of his skills. I stop when Ryann appears out


    of nowhere and approaches him. She looks upset and my brother is

    nowhere in sight. Damnit. I didn’t expect them to fight tonight. Things were going so well! They talk for


    a minute, Ryann sends a text message and then they leave together. I notice Aaron lingering nearby so


    I know that Darrien didn’t leave without considering my safety first. Still, it hurts a little to watch them


    both leave without saying goodbye.


    A few minutester Bemy approaches me and in the most emotionless voice he can. manage, tells


    me that Ryann wasn’t well and had to go home. I want to interrogate him but I know better. Bemy is a


    lot more emotional than he likes to let on and I doubt that he wants to disy that to everyone in this


    room. At least not right now. He sulks for the rest of the night and after forcing himself to dance with me


    once, he retires early. With no idea what else to do and all my favourite people leaving early, I throw


    myself into the party. I have other friends and I’m d to see them all. This is MY party and I refuse to


    let anything ruin it for me. Tonight I celebrate and tomorrow… Tomorrow I’ll start nning my wedding.


    Still, I can’t seem to erase the image of Bemy and Ryann dancing together from my brain, and more


    than that, I can’t forget how unhappy Darrien was. But… I love Tristan. I want to get married and start a


    family and this is my chance to do that. There’s no turning back now.
