Make a promise,

You will never ever leave me,

Make a promise,

You see me just as me.

Since you walked in my life,

Like a moon in the night

I have realised,

You are light of hope for me.

Make a promise,

You will never ever leave me,

Make a promise,

You will see me just as me.

And the time you smile,

Look into my eyes,

I have realised,

You are God sent friend to me.

Make a promise,

You will never ever leave me,

Make a promise,

You will see me just as me.

The time when you talk,

Not like you are mesmerised,

I have realised,

You can see the real me.

The crowd erupted with applause and I was too clapping hard. There was a lump formed in my throat. For some reason I was feeling proud of him and getting a bit sentimental. It made so much sense, like he was hidden under a mask for the world but there is one girl who could actually see him, the real him and that gives him hope.

I concluded in my head, Weston Hamilton was not talent less he was incredibly talented guy with greek god good looks. Am I turning into a fan girl? No, he was too annoying for that.

But I apparently was not an anti-fan.

Everyone was cheering and I fully support the cheer. But there was something about the crowd when he sang, they looked dazed like they can only hear him sing and rest of the world was not there, like they were hypnotized by his music and if he asked them to fall on their feet , they will do that.

It was a weird feeling but I ignored that I kept myself from going and thumping his back. Fans and celebrities alike, everyone loved Weston. I was the only one that hated him, was this the only reason he started talking to me. If I told him I liked the song, will he just feel successful and stop talking all together.

But why would it matter, it is not like Weston was mine to hold on to.

"Elise, honey, what are you doing here?" Dad and mom jerked me from my thought process which was taking a weird direction.

"Um...Leah came on a date and I was following mom's rule?" I said more a like question than a statement.

"Oh, great, I think. Are you here without a date?" Dad asked with a stern look.

Geez, this was a blow to his reputation. A Stuart in party without a date, she is not in demand or popular Stuart.

"I don't need a boy to hold me in the party dad, I can manage on my own." I retorted, his tone messing my mood.

I loved my dad but he was too uptight.

"You don't come to a charity ball alone Elise, What will people say?" Dad said and mother gave me an apologetic look.

"Oh, don't worry Arnold, she s my date." Weston walked in from behind and placed his hand on my lower back making me straighten up.

"You are not date with Weston Hamilton?" My mom said in an incredulous tone and looked like she was drooling on him.

Mom, weird much. He is same age as me.

Before I could refuse , my dad counter questioned, "I thought Megan came in with you regarding the video publicity and all."

"Oh no sir, we just needed to enter together but she is with her father tonight and he is a strict man." Weston chuckled and so did my parents.

Why, what the hell, everyone , even my uptight father loves him? ? Mental stabbing .

"With daughter like Megan he should be strict." My dad joked.

And hell was freezing people, my dad was joking!

"But your daughter here is to be proud off, she belongs to such a famous family and still so down to earth." Weston said with pride in his voice.

My head turned to look at him and find reason behind his words. But he was looking at my parents who were already adoring him with their eyes.

"She still has to make her own mark." My dad said gruffly and I wanted mother earth to swallow me or Zeus to hit me with a lightning bolt.

"Oh she will, she is a great dancer." He said now smiling at me.

Oh, so I minute ago when I was around James I couldn't dance and now I was a great dancer. He was confusing me.

"I heard you wanted her in the video." My mother said sounding jubilant about it.

I face-palmed knowing this was going to get embarrassing.

"Yeah, I saw her practicing once and I knew she needed to be seen by the world. She has talent." Weston praised me, something he usually didn't do when we were alone.

So I used this opportunity for myself.

"Well, Weston is not so bad himself. Not only he can sing he can also dance pretty well." I added with a grin of my own.

It was his turn to look surprise.

"Okay, you two enjoy, just make sure you two don't make headline." My dad said in his usual stern tone.

"Sure dad." I answer him lamely.

"So, I hear you are my fan now?" Weston said back to his smirking.

"Well you heard wrong." I said and looked at him, giving it a thought to what should I say.

"But, I really enjoyed your performance there. Those were beautiful words Hamilton and your voice is not that bad." I answer truthfully deciding on saying what I want and not thinking about the consequences.

"I am glad you feel that way." He said softly looking at the stage distantly.

I was taken aback by his sudden change of attitude. Where was the annoying, perverted , challenging Weston?

"You have talent and I apologise for being a jerk about the whole thing. I insulted you without even hearing you listen live." I said being truthful all the way.

"What? You have never attended my concert?" He was really shocked.

"Well I didn't even knew that you worked with my father before this." I tried to pry information out of him.

"I did but I had to leave for some reason." He said clearly uncomfortable with this since his scratched back of his neck.

I didn't push, I was not even his friend for him to spill all his secrets to me.

"I never attended your concert because I thought they will be as shitty as your songs." I joked to lighten up the mood.

"Next time you win a bet I will give you free tickets." He said wiggling his eyebrow.

He was back now.

"I don't need them Hamilton. But now your manager will kill you." I said chuckling.

"Look, there he is already shooting daggers at me." He said his eyes pointing towards his angry manager.

I have to stifle the laughter.

"Why did you do it? Were you sure that I will not win?" I said with raised eyebrows.

"Because I wanted to make it worth while for you to attend this boring party." He said winking at me.

There is an undeniable ring of truth to his words.

"So you want to dance Stuart, now that you are my date?" He said putting his hand forward.

I shrugged and placed my hand in his, it was warm and wonderfully soft. I stepped closer to him and he put his arm around my waist.

"What will people say Hamilton?" I asked in a whisper.

I was too close to him, his hands were not making me uncomfortable like it happened with James, I felt deliciously welcoming. It was hard to look away from his eyes and he was gazing me with intensity that made it difficult for me to breathe.

He is one heck of a good looking guy!

"Nothing, they don't even bother who I dance with." He shrugged lightly.

"Really, but it looks like every girl in this room wants to kill me."

"Want to give them a performance?" He said with a sly smile.

"No way I am not doing salsa in front of these many people." I said feeling conscience all of a sudden.

"Oh, nice and seductive. Just so you remember. I didn't mention salsa, you said it out loud." He said mischievously.

"don't Hamilton, dad said no news." I warned him stepping back.

He laughed at my wary expression.

"Kidding Stuart, but get ready for revenge soon." He threatened me with his lips really close to my ear again.

This was unnerving for me, my heart rate was wild and I felt dizzy, really dizzy. I had no idea being close to a guy was this overwhelming.

"Breathe Stuart." He said in a husky tone with a chuckle.

I let out the breath that I was holding.

I wanted to make some sharp remark to his behaviour but I was just trying to focus on breathing.

"I am so glad that you don't hate me Stuart." He said with a gentleness in his tone and eyes.

I am also glad that I don't hate you Hamilton.
