You clutched onto the small boy’s hands as you moved to the beat. You didn’t know the boy. But, thankfully he had asked you to dance. You didn’t even know anyone at this wedding. Your mom definitely did though, since she was off talking to someone. She had said something to you about knowing the groom in some way. You didn’t really care. Yet, she still dragged you here. But, here you were with an eight year old who had asked you to dance. You were actually enjoying yourself too. You felt your short white dress brush against the outside of your thighs whenever you swayed back and forth. That was another thing you didn’t want to do. Wear a dress. But it was required.

The small boy gleamed at you, which made you smile wide. He was so adorable in his little tux. You absolutely loved the way kids were. How they were just so innocent and oblivious to the world. Then again, so were you. You were enjoying your own innocent world until the upbeat song sadly came to a stop. You watched as the small boy frowned.

“Well, it was nice dancing with you!” He grinned.

“My pleasure.” You curtsied, before he ran off into the crowd. You finally stood up straight from bending over to reach the boys height, and had realized there was a ton of couples slow dancing around you. Well, how am I going to get out of here without bumping into anyone? You thought to yourself. You brushed your brown hair behind your ear, and looked around awkwardly until you felt a small tap on your shoulder.

“Excuse me, but I couldn’t help but notice you didn’t have anyone to dance with.” You heard a thick Irish accent say. You turned around and felt your dark brown eyes widen when you looked into his blue ones. You examined his blonde locks sticking up in one direction, his braces popping out when he smiled, and his black suit and tie, hugging him in all the right places. Who was this angel?

“I’m Niall.” He said answering your mental question. He held out his hand, waiting for you to grab it.

“I’m Corrina but you can call me Corrii” You lightly took his warm hand and he pulled you close. You felt his other hand lightly lay on the small of your back and you both began to sway.

“So, how do you know my brother?” You furrowed your eyebrows wondering what he was talking about. Apparently this was a funny face to him because he chuckled lightly. “He’s the groom.” He said, smiling proudly.

“Oh, I don’t.” You said blankly. He gave you a confused look now. “My mom knows him somehow.” You shrugged and he giggled once again. What an adorable laugh. You thought.

“I like you.” He said, as his blue eyes sparkled at you. You felt yourself blush and before you knew it, he was pulling you in closer.

You were now pressed against his chest and that was how you stayed the rest of the song. You both stayed in a comfortable silence, the smell of his after-shave calming you. It was just so perfect even though you had just met the boy. You wanted to stay like that forever, just listening to his heartbeat, but of course it came to an end.

You both let go and looked at each other when a fast paced song came on. “Well Corrii-“ He began to say something but got interrupted when you felt a small pair of hands tugging on your dress.

“Another good song is on again. Let’s dance!” The familiar eight-year-old cheered. You giggled and grabbed onto his hand.

“Care to dance with us?” You looked at Niall with hopeful eyes.

“I’d love to!” He cheered just as enthusiastically as the eight year old had done. You laughed and grabbed onto his hand with your free one, and he grabbed onto the little boys hand creating a small circle.
