"Sorry I startled you." She said. "Aren't you gonna ask me something?"
"Like what?"
Alex rolled her eyes. "The dance."
"About that," Justin toyed with his fingers. "I'm going with Harper."
"You asked her?!"
"She asked me!"
"You said yes?!"
"Accidentally."
Alex patiently said "You know what? It's fine. I'm sure you'll have a great time with her at the dance." She walked away and so did Justin.
Suddenly someone called out "Hey Alex."
She turned around "Brad?"
"Hi."
"You want something?"
"Wanna go to the Spring Fling with me?"
Alex couldn't believe this was happening. "Why should I yes?"
"People need second chances." He said. "Besides, all the hotter girls are taken."
"Fine. Pick me up at seven."
"Great! See you then."
Saturday came and Justin was getting ready. He wore a nice black suit with matching leather shoes. He applied gel on his hair so it'd be sturdy the whole night. Meanwhile, Alex was getting ready as well. She smeared lipstick and lip gloss, put on eyeliner, and gave herself some blush.
Justin came downstairs. "My boy looks so handsome!" His mother gushed.
Jerry tried to touch the tip of his son's hair. "Been putting some gel again, huh?"
"Yeah." Justin replied. "Well, I better go."
Theresa asked "Aren't you going to wait for your sister?"
"That's adopted sister." Max added.
His parents and his older brother glared at him. "What?"
"I heard that, Max!" Alex walked down their staircase.
Justin was in awe. She was wearing a sparkling red dress with flat sandals in the same color and had her hair up in a bun.
"That's not my sister." Max was in shock.
"Don't you mean adopted—" Justin mimicked.
Everyone glared at him instead. "Sorry."
"Alex, you look gorgeous." Theresa complimented.
"Our kids are growing up." Jerry said sentimentally.
Alex spoke "Guys, it's just a dance."
Then the doorbell rang, Jerry answered the door.
"Good evening, sir. Good to see you again." Brad reached his hand out and Jerry shook it. "Have you been working out?"
"Well..." Jerry was flattered.
Justin whispered to Alex. "You're going with Brad?"
"Hey, you're going with Harper." Alex whispered back and joined Brad outside. "See you there, Justin."
When Justin and Harper arrived at their assigned table, they were surprised Brad and Alex were sitting on the same one.
"Hey guys!" Harper greeted happily.
"Hi, Harper." Alex tried to look ecstatic.
"Your dress looks great on you." Brad began schmoozing again.
Harper sat down next to him. "Really?"
"Totally. The flowers are so cute."
Justin and Alex rolled their eyes.
Harper had her hair down in a headband and was wearing a white floral dress. "Thanks! I'm going for the whole flower theme."
"Nice." Brad grinned. "Could I get you some punch?"
"Sure."
"Alex?" He turned to his date.
"No thanks."
As Brad left, Harper gushed. "Wow, Alex. Your date is so nice."
"Not really." Justin and Alex said at the same time.
Harper looked confused. "What do you guys mean? He liked my flower theme."
"Harper, he was just schmoozing you." Alex explained. "He does that all the time."
Brad came back with one plastic cup of punch in hand. "Here you go."
"Thanks."
Brad sat down and whispered "Alex, you wouldn't mind if I asked your friend to dance, would you?"
"Of course not." She replied. "Knock yourself out."
He turned to Harper. "May I have this dance?"
Harper turned to Justin. "Is that okay?"
"Sure. Go ahead." Justin answered.
Brad and Harper walked hand in hand to the dance floor.
After a few boring minutes, Justin said "Hey."
Alex tilted her head to Justin and back to thin air. "Hey."
"Wanna dance?"
Alex answered. "I don't know."
"Our dates shouldn't be the only ones having fun."
"I guess so."
Justin suddenly asked "Do you still like that Taylor Swift song?"
Alex said. "Yeah. Why?"
"Alex is looking great in red, change the music to 'Fearless' instead."
There's something about the way
The street looks when it's just rained
There's a glow off the pavement
Walk me to the car
And you know I wanna ask you to dance right there
In the middle of the parking lot
Yeah
Alex dropped her jaw as Justin stuck his hand out to her. She took it and they walked to the dance floor.
She put one arm on his shoulder, he put one hand on her waist, and they held hands with their other one. They began swaying to the music.
We're drivin down the road
I wonder if you know
I'm tryin so hard not to get caught up now
But you're just so cool
Run your hands through your hair
Absent-mindedly making me want you
"Thanks," Alex managed to say. "For changing the song and everything."
"No prob." Justin smiled.
And I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first
Fearless
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance
In a storm in my best dress
Fearless
Alex managed to say "Sorry if I overreacted about the whole Harper thing."
"It's okay." Justin replied. "I should've just said no."
She shook her head. "No, that would've hurt her feelings. You did the right thing."
So baby drive slow
Til we run out of road
In this one horse town
I wanna stay right here in this passenger seat
You put your eyes on me in this moment now
Capture it
Remember it
They both glanced at Brad and Harper dancing.
"At least they're enjoying themselves." Justin commented.
"Yeah." Alex giggled. "So are we."
And I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first
Fearless
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance
In a storm in my best dress
Fearless
Alex suddenly put her arms around Justin's neck. He followed by putting both hands on her waist.
Well you stood there with me in the doorway
My hands shake
I'm not usually this way but
You pull me in and I'm a little more brave
It's the first kiss
It's flawless
Really something
It's fearless
Alex rested her head on Justin's chest as they continued dancing.
She looked up and they both stared at each other for a long time when Justin leaned in and their lips met.
And I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first
Fearless
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance
In a storm in my best dress
Fearless
THE END.
Hope you guys enjoyed it as much as I did writing it.:) I don't usually support incest pairings but what the heck, I've landed on the ship. Haha.)) The song is entitled "Fearless" by Taylor Swift, I chose this song because Selena said that its currently her favorite; she mentioned it in one of her vlogs (with Demi).
Please review! No flames, okay?:) Thanks ILY.
