As Stella watched Archer slide in a few comments here and there, she mostly kept her eyes elsewhere, occasionally glancing towards the dancefloor. She saw Kavi and Chrissie's outrageous moves that immediately forced her to divert her gaze elsewhere. It was then she saw Marisol and that Ryland Aspen walked over to the DJ booth and seemingly talking to the man in charge of forging the dance's soundtrack. She shrugged as she danced in place, minimally rocking her hips back and forth. Pillowtalk was such a banger and even if she didn't have anyone to dance with to it, she didn't mind grooving to it as Santiago and April caught up.

Truth be told, Stella wanted to find Carter, but for humble reasons, she had convinced herself staying by Santiago's side was the right thing to do, especially since April and Archer had just excused themselves to the dancefloor. Looking at them, she smiled and she had to think that Santiago was happy as well. She didn't want to assume that she knew what he felt, but it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out Santiago. Once she got to know him a little better, his tells were as obvious as Chrissie's dress was atrocious to look at. She knew he was happy that April was enjoying herself. Stella knew that her happiness meant the world to Santiago and something about how much he loved her made the brunette giggle for some reason.

[color=pink]"Oh, sorry,"[/color] she said, giggling still. She tried to end her giggling fit and went back into silence. She looked away from her date and around the ballroom, once more searching for Carter. To her delight and butterfly-flapping, nerve-filled stomach, there he was, looking as delicious as he was sweet. Every inch of her body that could stay standing trembled and shook with such a pulse-pounding, intense feeling that for some reason she waved at him as he talked to Nicole. [color=pink][b]"CARTER OVER HERE!"[/b][/color] Before she could stop herself, her voice screeched out at ear-deafening levels. If he wasn't able to see her before, now she was sure he could. [color=pink]"Oh my god, Santiago what did I just do..."[/color] She looked at her date, seeking an answer -- and possibly advice -- about the heart-sinking mistake she just made. 

Or maybe it wasn't. 

Ugh, she didn't know. All she knew was that Carter was walking towards them and every step felt like she was that much closer to her grave.
