Ryan and I standing in his large porch with drinks in our hands. The air is smooth, crushing my bare skin so gently. I look at the clear dark blue sky and the way the stars are perfectly dispersing and shining, Like a work of art, showing their beauty to the world with nothing in return. If only people raise their heads up from time to time to notice the beauty of our universe that we disregard. Sometimes we're so busy looking for only imperfections that we forget about the perfect things that surround us, and that the imperfection itself is a beauty.

Jason strikes me along with this thought, and that love isn't always perfect but it is beautiful. Wait why am I thinking about Jason and why did I even use his name and The Love word in the same sentence. I close my eyes and take a deep breath to clear my head. Only then I feel Ryan's gaze, he was looking at me this whole time and I totally forgot he was next to me.

"You are so beautiful!" Ryan says unexpectedly. I turn my head towards him and smile, I have no idea what to say and I feel myself blushing a little "What are you thinking of?" he continues to clear the tension.

"I..." I pause a little "It's just Funny how we take the simple little things that we have or we see every day for granted,"

"Well, you don't really know how good it is until it's gone"

"True" I spin around to face him, the light pounding on his face makes him unbelievably desirable. The color of his eyes is clearer now; bright green foxy eyes. It reminds me of Jason's eyes, I shake my head again at this thought, I guess Jason won't leave me alone this night "So, do you usually throw parties in your house?" I ask, changing the subject.

"Actually," he breaks our eye contact for a second and then looks at me again, more intensely this time "Believe or not. I did this to see you. Again" I stiffen, looking at him perplexed.

"Me?" I ask eyes baffled, searching for answers in his.

"Yes," He finally says "I've been thinking about you from the first time I've seen you, I couldn't get you out of my mind" I was expecting lots of things tonight, but this wasn't one of them. I blush and stay speechless at his statement.

Photograph by 'Ed Sheeran' starts a second after Ryan's statement, and I got distracted for a minute.

"I love this song," I say nonchalantly

"Can I have this dance?" Ryan exclaims while handing me his hand. I smile at him and take his hand.

We're dancing in the middle of the porch, eyes directed on us. And somehow that doesn't bother me at all. Actually, I'm enjoying the dance and Ryan's company. His hand is posed gently on my back, I can feel it on the dress, JASON'S DRESS. I distant myself gently from Ryan who's noticing my mood change. I myself don't know why I'm having this reaction, but just the thought of Jason and wearing the dress he just bought me while dancing with another guy. It just seems... a little odd.

"What's wrong?" Ryan asks worried. Before I can answer, Hailee comes rushing towards me, looking disconcert.

"Uh, Em, I should really go, I'm sorry" she turns to Ryan "Can you take her home please?"

"Yes sure don't worry about it" Ryan answers without hesitation.

"What happened Hail?"

"I'll tell you later. I promise" not giving me the chance to say anything, she disappears into the crowd.

Ryan and I looking at each other concerned and surprised from what just happened. I just hope that everything is alright because I had never seen her this perturbed.
