"I'd appreciate it if you would stop eyefucking my date."

Those words shake me out of the fun I was having out here on the dance floor with Cara and Brittney.  There is no way this girl is talking to me. So I ignore it. Instead I glance towards the boys. Thad, Sebastian and Nicky are all sitting at our table chatting animatedly, in their own little world.  It's honestly quite adorable.

But then that voice, that high pitched voice invades my ears again.

"Excuse me, poor excuse for Belle from Beauty in the Beast.  I was talking to you."

Brittney cocks her head as I turn around to face Bimbo Barbie.  I plaster the sweetest smile I can on my face and make sure my voice is dripping in fake saccharine sugariness when I finally address her.  "Wow that was rude much.  Sweetie, I don't even know you, please retract your claws.  So who is this date of yours that I am supposed to keep away from??" She looks down at me completely perplexed, I'm not sure that she expected me to question her.

She shakes her head slightly and runs her hand through her hair, messing up her curls. I giggle somewhat at her actions. Quickly she extends her hand, "I am so sorry. Where are my manners tonight? I just thought you were trying to steal away my date. My name is Kaydence. I'm a junior at Crawford." I shake her hand delicately, feigning innocence. "Pleasure. Shannon, senior at McKinley. And who is this date of yours again?" She seems shocked that I don't know. "Um, really? My date, well, he is honestly the hottest piece of arm candy at Dalton, honey."

I can't help my laughter as Brittney and Cara come to my side.  Cara gives me a critical look, "Chica, who is she?"  I turn to smile at my friend and then gesture back towards Bimbo Barbie (I refuse to think of her with a name thank you very much), "Her name is Kaydence.  Says she goes to Crawford and is here with the and I quote 'hottest piece of arm candy at Dalton.'"  The other girl is blushing as Cara looks up at her, "Pretty sure that was me, I mean have you seen my Nicky tonight??"  Brittney giggles and points to the table the boys are still at, Jeff having joined them.  "Carrie, Jeffy and Thaddy are pretty hot too.  Not as much as Sebby though, right Shanny??"

I nod as the boys look up and Sebastian notices me, shooting me a wink.  I wave back at him and then turn back to Bimbo Barbie, "You're right Britt. I'm pretty sure that I came with the HOTTEST piece of arm candy at Dalton, darling.  I mean have you seen Sebastian tonight?  He is the epitome of tall, dark and handsome."

Recollection seems to flicker through this girl's eyes.  She looks from me back to Sebastian sitting at the table with the other boys.  He is looking curiously over at us, motioning to the other boys.  "You're her..."  I smile sweetly up at her, "If you're asking what I think you're asking, then yes.  Sebastian and I are engaged."  Her smile drops some as she continues.  "If that's true then that would also mean...  For some reason I expected you to look different. Oh My God.  I may kill him...  Why did he accept my invitation??"  I raise my eyebrow at her, cocking my head to the side as I watch this girl question her life choices.

My smile just gets wider as I lock eyes with Hunter across the dance floor, his moss green eyes sparkling. I know I'm blushing because my cheeks feel instantly warm. I wave coyly in his direction and she turns around, following my movements. I hear her gasp as he starts walking our way.

No it can't be true...

Soon Hunter is standing in front of me, smirk on his face. "Hey Kay, I see you met the girls." She nods mutely and he continues, openly ogling me. "Babydoll, you look good enough to eat tonight. I swear. Think we can sneak out to the car for a quickie? The limo I rented would be so much better than my SUV. It's so roomy, really comfortable seats.  You know, blow my whistle baby...."

My friends gasp softly at his comments, he's gotten much bolder since Puck's Regionals party. I giggle, Bimbo Barbie looks positively green right now.  "Nice try Romeo, but I came with Bas tonight.  I suppose if you ask nicely enough though...."  He grabs my hand, bows slightly at the waist then kisses my hand as he rights himself back up.  "Angel, my dearest Shannon, would you do me the honor of dancing with me at my senior prom." I blush again, he's so corny but that was a really sweet way to ask. Although when I look around it feels like everyone is staring at me. And his date is practically firing lasers out of her eyes.

"Hunt, that's sweet. But what about your date here. And well mine." He glances over at Sebastian's table. I follow his movements to see Sebastian shaking his head and sighing, almost resigned to the fact that he is sharing me against his will. Hunter looks back at me with a mischievous glint in his green eyes. "Smythe seems unconcerned." I raise my eyebrow at him and subtly point to his date. He gives a small nod back to me and turns to look at her, still with my hand firmly in his grasp.

She is practically melting from the smile that he gives her, even though it was just a normal one. A part of me realizing that I am a horrible person, she is his prom date. She asked him because she likes him and here I am crushing her dreams. "Kay, I'm going to go dance with Shann. Is that okay with you? I mean she is my girlfriend and all..." I can barely hear her whispering girlfriend to herself before she gives a small, defeated nod.

He doesn't wait for any further response from her before he pulls me to the center of the dance floor.  Although I do give a backwards glance over my shoulder and she looks heartbroken.  Once we reach the spot he deems fitting he spins me around so I can face him as a Jesse McCartney songs starts playing.  Instinctually we begin moving to the beat of the music, dancer reflexes kicking in.  But still we stay close enough together so that I can talk to him.

"Clarington, I feel retched now. Bimbo Barbie really seemed to like you..." He chuckles softly as he spins me away from him so that he is dancing behind me, hands sitting securely on my waist.  His lips gently brush against my neck before he speaks.  "From the creative name you just gave her someone sounds a little jealous."  I huff softly, I'm not jealous.

"Yeah...  and I'm not jealous of Smythe.  But you have nothing to worry about Anderson, I'm tutoring Kay in German.  They have a Dalton - Crawford study thing or something.  Not my fault she's obsessed with me."  I spin around in his arms, stepping back some, giving him a smirk.  "She did call you the hottest piece of arm candy at Dalton." He smirks back at me, pulling me close again, "Well I'm not going to argue with her taste."

I giggle and wiggle out of his grasp again, playfully spinning around him. His hands land on my hips once more as he comes back up to dance behind me, swaying me back and forth in front of him in time to the music. His hips moving in rhythm with mine, guiding my movements, ever the ballroom leader.

The song is almost over when he whispers to me. "So Angel, did you get your housing assignment yet?" I smile to myself, eyes closed as I move slowly to the song, lost in the music. My voice is just as soft but I know he can hear me. "They're giving me a cute little beachside bungalow, just like I wanted. No roommates either."

He hums, pressing his lips to my neck, my chin. Smiling into my skin before he whispers in my ear once more. "Big enough for two??"

Of course...

(A/N:  I felt like this song was perfect for the story.  For this particular relationship too.)
