《The Match ✓》Chapter 9🥊
Advertisement
The whole evening all I could think about was how beautiful Lila looks on that stage and how she moves. The way that she dances, it is as if I were seeing a faery dance across a lake. The music setting the scene, and I was falling under her spell like a sailor lured by a mermaid. Only this time the sailor doesn't mind getting pulled into the deepest depths of the ocean where she lures him with her dancing. She is like nothing that I have ever seen before and each second that passes she grows even more beautiful.
In her white dress she is like the perfect bride that is an angel which Heaven has sent down to show me that there is light, and she is that light, she has come to cast on the humankind love and light and bring to us the warmth that I can feel through her dancing. Her steps are elegant and free yet bound by rules and beauty. There is nothing like this, and she is shining brighter than any star that has ever touched the sky. I watch her with a smile on my face, far in the back but still I see her as if she is the only thing in the world, and she is.
I could not tell her that I was the first one that bought a ticket to her show months ago and I while I did not choose a seat that's as closer to the stage I knew that she would see me as I did not want to make my presence known to her but soon she will know that I will attend each and every one of her performances and even those that I have seen before. I would rather starve than miss one of her shows.

People are watching her in awe and I'm one of them, Lila may not like the attention, but she gets it and people love her dancing. Ballet is a form of dance that she manages to express perfectly and no one loses sight of the centuries old dance for she represents it like a Queen, and she has mastered the form and technique. I notice how lost she gets in her dancing, and she is not afraid anymore as she was when she first stepped on the stage. People only admired her beauty that they never saw what she was tying to hide but I saw both of it.
I saw how her beauty shone bright and it was like I had stepped into Heaven and was met with all the Angels but all I saw was her for she is all that matters. But what I also saw was the fear and I know that she is afraid of people, and she fears being around a crowd, I saw that at the dinner party where she felt uncomfortable and I wished I could've done something to help her, but she needed to believe it was the first time that I was learning about her.
Lila has captivated me from the moment that I saw her for the first time, and she will continue to do so. My attention she has captured, and she has holds it in her hands and doesn't want to let go and neither do I want her to. She is the drug that I am addicted to, and she will always be the one that I will give everything to in order to get high, high off her and her scent and the love that only she can give me.
Once her dancing had ended and people start to cheer and clap for her she bows for some moment and then leaves the stage, leaving me wanting more and watching her dance there on the stage even longer. Though the way that she moves is still fresh in my mind and my eyes can still picture her on that stage. And as the evening went by and others danced I paid little attention to it as I only could picture her across my mind's eye over and over again, never forgetting even a single step that she took or a breath that she took.

When the performance was over and people were heading home I waited in the shadows to make sure that she would arrive safely home. Though I know that some would want to speak to her and give her gifts and praise after her performance. Her name was growing and everyone were learning of the ballerina that is dancing her way to the top and even beyond. It is clear to me as well as the world that she is going to be someone that people are always going to admire, to remember. Lila is someone that will be written about in history books and if they don't then I will.
People from all over the world need to learn of her talent and see for themselves who she truly is but none will know who is inside her but I know that there is a kindhearted woman in there with a big heart that might as well be the kindness that has shaped this world. Her smile is like the sun in the sky where the clouds cannot touch it and it heats up everything it can, even on the coldest winter days her smile is bright enough and warm enough to bring heat everywhere.
Half an hour after the show I watch her in her normal clothes, carrying a gym bag go to her car and drive off. Knowing that she is safe in her car I take off running towards her apartment. Not caring about anything else other than her and I realize that as soon as I get there her car has already been parked, and she is opening the front door. I breathe a bit better as now I know that she is in her apartment where there is nothing that can harm her and no one can touch her.
