Larry calmed down as he consoled himself.
“Really? You're the best, Dear!”
Joan was so elated that she jumped up and kissed Larry's cheek. All traces of sadness were gone by now.
When Larry saw her cunning gaze, he knew that she had tricked him, knowing that he would definitely agree.
“I can't believe I fell for your trap...”
Larry sighed silently and let Joan drag him to the center of the plaza.
As everyone else danced to the rhythm of the music, Joan's body swayed gently as well.
“You should dance too.”
CCi lip,
I wont!
“Come on, dear.”
“I refuse!”
Knowing that he had probably mustered up all his courage to accompany her here, she did not force him further. Instead, she started imitating the dance moves of the ladies around her.
Joan was smiling, looking like a beautiful angel. She wore a high-collared white sweater, which accentuated her long and beautiful neck. The skinny jeans revealed her perfect figure, while a sweet smile was spread across her pretty face. Larry fell into a daze as he stared at her.
As long as I could make her happy, I couldn't be bothered about other things.
Watching Joan, who was learning the dance moves attentively, he smiled.
Even a man with such high standards like Larry fell into a daze watching Joan. So it was safe to say that the other young people at the plaza were staring at her too, attracted by her beauty.
However, when they spotted Larry standing beside her, they sighed silently.
Since she already had a boyfriend, they knew that they stood no chance.
Although most decided to give up, some foolishly courageous youths came to ask her out.
“Hello, beautiful. May I ask what your name is?” a young and shy youth walked forward and asked.
“I'm sorry, but I already have a boyfriend.”
It was obvious that Joan wanted to ignore him. She simply pointed at Larry, so the young man would get the hint and leave.
