Chapter 11:

Last Dance for Love (Good Ending)

Say Something


Let us turn back time a little bit. A new outcome might be possible for our hero, Jeff. Game Reset!

“Oh my god!!” Jeff’s hands slapped against the sides of his face, and became wide eyed.

Jeff remembered that Selina asked to meet with him for a talk. He jumped up and threw his pants and shoes on. He rushed to Hiriajuu Park (非リア充公園). He texted Selina that he would be there, while on his way there. Jeff was about 30 minutes late.

“Selina!”

“Jeff, Hallo.”

“I am sorry that I am late. I uhh...“ Jeff was breathing hard.

Selena interrupted, “It’s okay, I just wanted to ask you if...”

Selina paused for a second. Her heart was beating so fast, that she was not sure she could mutter the words. She looked down at the ground.

“If you would like to go out with me... to the school dance event coming up.” revealed Selina.

“Oh... oh.. I...”, Jeff stammered.

Jeff was not sure what to do. A beautiful German woman just ripped out his heart. And now another German beauty is within his grasp. Could this be a trick? Would he just be her temporary toy? Can he trust her? Should he take this chance? His wounds have not had enough time to heal.

“I see... It is fine if you don’t want t—“

“I’ll go”, answered Jeff with a face full of determination.

Jeff was ready to try again. A ray of sunlight suddenly beamed through the clouds.

A week had passed by quickly. It was time for the celebration of youth and love.

Jeff was now at the dance event. He was dressed in a white tuxedo that he had gotten from his father, who had worn the same tuxedo when he himself was younger. Jeff poured some punch into his cup, and took a couple of sips.

Next, Charia von Hürlimann entered the ballroom. She was dressed in a blue dress like Cinderella. Attached to her hand was Volker von Thieb, as they walked down the aisle. Frau Hürlimann noticed Jeff and decided to speak with him for a brief moment.

“So, are you alone?”, questioned Charia.

Jeff replied, “No, I uhh... my date will be here soon. Well, she has only got 1 minute before she is late.”

“Uh, perhaps, she is busy getting dolled up?”, Jeff thought to himself.

And suddenly, at 7:59:59 PM, Selina entered the ballroom. As you know, the Germans never want to be late, and they always try to be on time.

There she was... Standing there with her thick silver hair, which fell down to her shoulders, complimented by her feminine frame.

Speaking of that frame, her eyes were the window of her soul. Her eyes were vibrant and just like a window, allowed light to reflect upon them; this enhanced the beauty of her large red eyes.

“Sorry, I was almost late”, greeted Selina.

Jeff gave Selina a flower; it was some sort of rose.

“No problem, Selina. You are just in time. I like this song... möchtest du tanzen? (would you like to dance)”, asked Jeff, as he got on one knee and extended his hand out to touch Selina’s.

“Ohhh.... don’t mind, if I do!”, retorted Selina.

For the second time, Jeff was able to show off his stellar dance moves. The entire room’s attention was on him—even Charia’s.

“Well, at least now he is not as sad as he was before.”, observed Charia, as she now felt less guilty, since Jeff appeared to be much better off now. She was glad that she did not have to save him from his sadness, even though she was the one who caused it.

“Ja, jetzt tanzen wir! (Now, let’s dance!)”, urged Volker.

Everyone had a good time on this lovely night. They danced, ate delectable food and laughed for hours.

Eventually, the DJ played a slow jam song to increase the level of romance into the air. Selina and Jeff danced together, hand in hand, as they looked at each other in the eyes.

“So... how come you chose me for your date, Selina? There are... you know, many other much better guys than me out there for a beauty such as yourself...”

“Silly Mann. ‘In my eyes, you are #1’. There may be other men who are popular and more rich and handsome than you... but you are the only one who has the courage to say something... especially, when others need it most... when I need it....”

“I see... Thank you for doing the same for me.”

After this, no more words were needed. The couple need not say anything more to each other because they could communicate with their emotions and body language. For a while more, Jeff and Selina gazed into each other’s eyes.

A brazen Jeff pulled Selina closer in by the hips of her dress, gently, and then he leaned in closer to Selina’s face.

*Smooch*

“Is that a phone in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?”, flirted Selina.

“Hehe... I am going to need a cold shower after this dance”, exclaimed Jeff.

“Afterwards, I will warm you up with my microwave”, promised a jovial Selina.

Jeff smiled.
