Twenty Questions

Caley chatted casually with her friends as her date danced with another girl. Her eyes flicked over to Mia and Damon dancing together. She smiled to herself, remembering how she had successfully set that up. Her eyes roaming the dance floor, Caley saw many couples dancing to a fast tempo song. Looking around more, she briefly caught Camille’s eye and winked at her. Camille grinned back at her and continued dancing with Jace.

“Caley… Caley.”

Caley’s head snapped back toward her friends as she heard her name, several times.

“What were you saying? Sorry, I was watching Camille and Jace.” Everyone smiled at the mention of the names.

“Oh, I was just asking how you're enjoying your night.” One of Caley’s friends smirked at her. Caley rolled her eyes at her friend just as the song ended.

“I’m having a wonderful time.” She responded, shooting her friend a look.

Just then, she felt a familiar tap on her shoulder. Caley whirled around, perhaps a little too quickly, and came face-to-face with her date. One of her favorite songs had begun and couples were pairing up for slow dance. John smiled lightly as he offered Caley his hand.

“Care to dance?”

Caley took his hand and they walked out onto the dance floor. Once there, she placed her hands daintily around his neck as he placed his around her waist. Gazing into his eyes, she marveled at their greenish blue hue once again. A silent moment passed as they both searched for a conversation started.

“Hey, I have an idea,” Caley pronounced, “Let’s play twenty questions, or something like that.”

“Sure, that sounds good. You go first.”

“Let’s see, are you having a good time tonight?” Caley started with a simple question, so she hoped.

“Definitely! This is great! Are you?” Caley nodded as they swayed slowly to the music.

“Okay, I have a serious question. Why me?” John looked quizzically at her. “Why’d you ask me?” John pondered for a minute, trying to come up with the best response.

“You're one of my best friends, I knew we’d have a good time together. And…” John melodious voice trailed off, meanwhile taking on his more serious tone of voice.

“Oh…” Caley mused over the answer. She wondered what it meant and why John didn’t finish his thought. The next few seconds felt like a lifetime as the long moment elapsed.

“Well, there’s another thing, but…”
