[indent][indent][indent][indent][justify][color=808080][color=cd5c5c]"Hello Tapeesa,"[/color] with a friendly smile as he shook her hand. [color=cd5c5c]"Nice to meet you, and about dancing…"[/color] He paused like he was lost in thought or trying to find the words. Tapeesa’s rhythmic swaying and bouncing slowed slightly as she waited for him to continue, but she never fully stopped dancing. 

[color=cd5c5c]"I can dance with you if you want,"[/color] Leo finally continued. [color=cd5c5c]"It may not be the best, but I can dance."[/color] There was some confidence in his words and while it felt like he was trying to convince himself more than her, her smile still grew slightly at the effort. 

[color=0bbdaf]"Dancing isn’t about being good,"[/color] Tappi admitted as she did a silly finger gun type dance move. [color=0bbdaf]"As long as you’re having fun, that’s all that matters."[/color] She smiled and did a little spin. [color=0bbdaf]"I used to care about what people thought about me… Then I stopped."[/color] Her bottom lip stuck out in a false pout as she shrugged. [color=0bbdaf]"It’s kinda freeing."[/color]

[color=cd5c5c]"I was more seeing if you wanted company or not since you were dancing by yourself."[/color] He smiled. [color=cd5c5c]"If you want company, then you have it, and if you want to keep dancing, then I will as well. Or we can do something else if you want?"[/color]

That was a lot of pressure on Tapeesa’s shoulders. Her movements slowed as she tucked her hair behind her ears. She always liked company and making new friends. It wasn’t like she left Elias and Anissa because she wasn’t having fun, dancing just sounded like [i]more[/i] fun. Leo seemed like a nice guy but she also couldn’t help but feel it was a little odd to approach her on the dance floor without [i]assuming[/i] she preferred to dance. Because she did. 

Her finger hooked around a piece of hair that clung to her lips and pulled it away as she tried to figure out a response. [color=0bbdaf]"I’ve been really enjoying dancing,"[/color] she confessed with an apologetic smile. [color=0bbdaf]"But I understand and respect that it’s not your thing. It’s not for everyone."[/color] Her index finger hooked around her choker, twisting it so the clasp rested at the back of her neck, and out of an anxious habit to keep her hands busy. [color=0bbdaf]"I can’t force you to do something you don’t want to,"[/color] she admitted with a slight tilt of her head.

The song shifted to something more upbeat. Whether intentional or not, Tapeesa’s bouncing resumed and her head bobbed subconsciously with the beat. [color=0bbdaf]"I’ll make you deal."[/color] She spun around again then held out her pinky toward him like they were eight years old on a playground about to make a life altering pact, sealed with a pinky promise. [color=0bbdaf]"You’ll be the [i]first[/i] person I find when I get tired of dancing."[/color] Her nose scrunched playfully as she wiggled her finger at him. [color=0bbdaf]"Then we’re both happy."[/color] Her smile grew, lighting up her entire face.[/color][/justify][/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent]
