"Ashton, you sing?" Someone from the crowd shouted.

"Rick! What are you doing here?" I was shocked.

"What do you mean? It's a mall. What else would I do?" He replied while lifting the shopping bags, indicating that he was shopping.

I smiled.

"Ashton." Dallas walked towards me, "good job. It was marvellous."

I smiled and was going to reply but Rick interupted. " You are?" He asked.

"Sorry. I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Dallas."

"Rick."

They shook hands.

"So Ash, are you free this week?" Rick asked.

"I don't think so but I will try to make time for you." I replied.

"It's ok. You might be really busy." He said, "so... I should be going. Can't keep someone waiting." He pointed at Igor.

I nodded while he walked away.

"What should we do next?" Dallas asked while snuggling with the cute bear we just won.

I internally laughed looking at that sight. He was adorable.....

Ash, get your senses back.

"Well", I hesitated, " let me think."

Good ideas are rarer than rare stuff. Get it.

"Ashton, Dallas, we are sorry for the wait." The crew came. Finally.

Hence, the party began.

"Guys, it's late. We need to go." Lia said. " Otherwise, I won't be allowed in the hostel."

"I'll drop you." Jay offered.

"Even I need to go. Cass will kill me if I'm late." Rose said.

Mike and Kevin were busy with the ladies. Rose, Jay and Amelia left so I was the only one left with 'Everlasting Madness'.

The members were- Dallas, Luke, Zack and one more guy whose name I couldn't recall.

Oh wait! Minute by minute, even they were enjoying the ladies company.

"Would you like to dance?" Dallas asked.

"There are so many other people dying to dance with you." I commented.

"But I am dying to dance with you." He replied in a very subtle tone.

I grabbed his hand and we went to conquer the dance floor.

It was a romantic song I didn't know but he was mummering the lyrics.

I placed my hands on his shoulder and he was holding onto my waist. We were doing a 'ballroom dance'. Since I wasn't a good dancer, I stepped on his foot a couple of times but he was flawless.

As the beats were becoming faster, he pushed me gently and swiftly pulled me closer. I fell in his arms as he dropped me.

The crowd was cheering. Since I was just following his lead, I was pretty confident.

He lifted me up and slowly put me on the ground. Took my hands and turned me around so that I could face him.

I was just loosing the control of my own body....

Aah! Here comes the tornado.

I mean, he make me rotate a hell number of times.

My brain couldn't comprehend.

The crowd shouted in glee.

He was amazing.

As the beats went faster, we went faster.

After sometime we forgot what dancing is and were moving our body like we're drunk. No control at all.

"Damn! It was fun", I commented, "but I gotta go. It's late already."

"Shall I drop you?" Dallas asked, " it's late already."

"Sure."

We went outside and found his bike there.

He passed me the helmet and we were off to go.
❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄
"I always wanted to learn how to ride a bike." I said enthusiastically.

He stopped driving right away and got up. " Take the lead miss."

I sat down and was simply a lost case.

"Hold it tightly." He grabbed my hands and placed them on the handle. His grip was tight as hell.

As I proceeded driving, well he was driving still, I couldn't help but notice that we were so close that our heads were colliding.

I didn't mind getting this close to him even though he's a stranger. That's pretty strange!

What could I do? He had a familiar vibe.

"Dallas, I have reached. Thanks for the ride." I spoke politely as possible.

"See you around. Bye." He smiled and returned back.

Day: 30
"Ash, how could you not remember me?" The voice was irritating. I felt dying inside.

I kicked the air out of frustration.

"We met at the mall, remember. I was even there when you got late at night. Remember?" He continued to speak.

"Remember Ashton?" His voice sounded louder. I guess he was a bit closer to me than before.

I was trembling in fear. Kicking anything and everything around me but each one was a failed attempt.

Since I had a leg injury because of Kyle's stupidity, it hurts even more.

I cried in pain. Screamed at my loudest voice. While he laughed hysterically.

"I was there on 29th June, when you learnt how to ride a bike."

29th June! Of course I remember that day.

Dallas was the one that dropped me home. In fact, he was the only one around.

"Wow! Now you're remembering." He commented.

Did Dallas knew about my plan? Was he planning revenge from the start?

Dallas.

Is that really him?
