Amorina watched Caroline and Hector, smiling gently and wanting the best for her friend. No girl should ever feel the way they had both felt, have their hearts broken the same way they had. Hopefully she would never have to feel that sort of heartbreak ever again.
Looking at Emilo, she smiled and nodded. "Okay." Timidly, as if she was still unsure of this new relationship, still frightened at how new it was and how great it made her feel, Amy gently, gingerly kissed Emilio on the cheek.
She knew he must not have been comfortable with the situation at hand, but it made her feel better. At least there was some hope; Amy placed her hand in Emilio's and pushed thoughts of her ex away.
Tonight was a confirmation of things. There would never be Kenric and Amy again. It would always been either or. For now, Amy liked the way Emilio and Amy sounded.

He had looked rather serious for a second after she kissed him and had lifted a hand to touch the side of her face lightly, but then he shook off those thoughts and let himself fall into an easygoing grin and drop his hand. "Vamos," he murmured, then proceeded to lead Amy close to the stage. If his size made anything easy, it was most certainly weaving through people.
Of course, as they got closer, it got easier since people recognized the last contestants before the ones currently performing.
When they got to the edge of the dancing area, he leaned in close and mumbled, "They are very... caring for each other. Look- eyes never leave... is good for dancing. They happy with each other." ---
Caroline wondered how her luck had changed so much in such a short amount of time. Despite what Emilio obviously thought about Hector, he was almost perfect. And she knew perfection was something she would never find, so this was pretty damn good.
She knew that there would be a row when she and Emilio got back to the apartments... He would undoubtedly say something about Hector and she would have a few choice words about him and his fighting.
Ugh. Brothers.

His hand on her cheek made her blush, her mouth curling more into her smile. For once her mind and heart agreed on one thing: Emilio was the better man in this situation. He had never hurt her in any way, had never insulted her, was even nice to her when their first date had been ruined. If anything, she had ditched him for an old flame and he had still let her come back.
Amy followed him through the crowd, always watching the ground. Her big feet made it had to walk through people, but she would always mutter "Sorry", "Pardon Me."
She watched the students with an odd smile, listening to Emilio. She hadn't been much older when... Her fingers found a curl and she sighed. Slowly, she stepped closer to Emilio and smiled. "Good. They're too young to be anything less than happy."

Emilio's answer to her response was, "You, too."
He wrapped an arm around Amy and took his eyes away from the dancing students.
In some moments, words are not needed; indeed, they would only clutter things up, muddle details when silence or even ambient noise was enough.
They were standing next to a paper lantern- its light glinted off their hair, but it was not strong enough to obscure the dark, studded sky above it.
Emilio's eyes softened a little and he ran the back of a couple of his fingers along her jawline. Then he smiled.

The blush was back. "I'm not that young..."
With his arm wrapped around her, Amy felt herself relax more. There was something so perfect in this moment that, even after the recent fight, Amy's mind left all worries of Kenric behind. Why hadn't she thought she could get over him? He wasn't so special, not at all.
His smile made her melt and she nuzzled her face in his neck, pulling him into a soft hug.
"And why did you think I stood up for you instead of him?"
She placed a small kiss on his neck, smiling still.

Emilio thought about her question for a moment, then chucked to himself as he answered, "'...better dancer..." He closed his eyes, savoring the moment.
His hands rested on her back, pulling her closer still despite the soreness he felt from the tussel he'd gotten into earlier.
A few people nearby were whispering behind their hands. Probably about his new bruising- only short while ago, they had been onstage. What had happened to him? Awww, they're so cute together. Do you think they're an item? Chya, did you see the way he kissed her? I dunno, maybe her boyfriend got jealous. Stupid to let her dance with him, then. Asking for trouble.
Emilio smirked and turned them so that that particular group of people couldn't see his face anymore. It didn't make a difference, but he'd rather not give them more fodder for their gossip.

Amorina's face flushed with the gossip, but she tried not to think about it. Let them talk. Hell, even she didn't know what her relationship status was anymore. Confused? Not so much anymore. Taken? She didn't want to assume. Single? God she hoped not.
Oh well. It wasn't the time to think about it.
His answer made her giggle and she gently began to run her fingers through his hair, too afraid of hurting him to do much else. "Better dancer, better singer even if I don't understand it, better date, better body guard, better everything."
Amorina's gut gave a twist as the situation hit her. The warmth of the body she was against, the breath, the heart beat.. She was never going to get back her first love, no. His chilly body, like a marble statue... No. Now it was time for something better.
Emilio had said he never wanted to hurt her. How long would that "never" be? She kissed his cheek then, smiling to herself. She hoped what that person said was true. That they were an item. If he never wanted to hurt her, that meant this was more than just a fling... Right?
"Please don't fight like that for me again... You shouldn't have to, and I just feel guilty for it all."

Emilio shrugged at her compliments, trying to offset the weird burning in his cheeks. Wait a minute... was he blushing? Good God, he was in his thirties- too old for such nonsense! He forced some of his usual confidence up and replied quietly (obviously having picked this line up from a movie somewhere), "You ain't seen nothin' yet."
As for the rest, Emilio knew better than to outright promise her not to get into a scrap on her behalf again. He knew himself better than to expect such self-control from hmself in the face of a threat or insult. He had a feeling that this wasn't what he should say. Instead, he focused on the last fight and Amy.
"No feeling guilty. No, no, is perfect. Was... going to happen. I say to myself that el maldito needs... good strong punch to the face. Pay for the blood... y el dolor." He took the hand that he had seen cut in the cafe and lifted it to his lips, kissing her palm.
"So is fine. Maybe he get so that he not bothering you again." Emilio shrugged. "...if the boy is smart."

Amorina smiled at his words, thinking. Her own blush came back as he kissed her palm, but she grimaced at the small, almost unnoticable scar. His kiss made her stomach flip.
She could not completely blame Kenric; it had been her mistake to get involved with him in the first place. He was a vampire, after all. He had even warned her that he was too afraid to be intimate because he could not control himself.
Still...Her heart gave a soft sigh. She would miss him, no matter how badly he may treat her now.
Amy's eyes shifted form the scar to Emilio and she kissed him, careful to stay clear of his nose. "Thank you very everything. But, I am still confused about us..."
She was worried. He had said he never wanted to hurt her, but he just had his nose broken! Amy still didn't know what they were; a couple, just friends, a little more than friends? She was too afraid of reliving the past to be upfront with him.

Emilio looked confused at what she said and drew back. "What... is there for being confused about? You... like me, verdad? Y estoy enamorado de ti... Seems pretty... como se dice... straightforward." Here he shrugged, but was unable to totally conceal his own worry.
Had the scrap injured her regard of him? Perhaps in beating the boy up, he had made her wish to take a step back.
All of this was a dance unfamiliar to Emilio.
As much as this worried him, he didn't like hesitating when he was well used to the idea of leaping. He bit his lower lip right before venturing a kiss of his own, on the corner of her mouth.
If she stressed out or stiffened or seemed not to want it, he was tensed and ready to back off. Overall, he seemed tentative, searching for a sign that he would be okay to advance.

His worry made her regret the way she had said it. Still, hearing him say that he... loved her... Amy's face was a bit shocked. They had only known each other for so long... Then again, he had just beat up Kenric for her.
When he kissed her, she hesitated for a moment. She needed to think. Amorina's brow furrowed and she glanced at him.
"Did... Wha-what did you say?"
Maybe she hadn't heard it right. Still, she was too afraid to look him in the eyes. Amy placed her forehead on his and smiled. Her lips found his and she felt her heart racing. He had just said what she thought he said...right?

The hesitation was his cue. Immediately, his gaze went a million miles deep and he pulled away. "Nada..."
He tilted his head forward and looked at his feet, forcing a lightness into a voice that he didn't feel. "I was... not think-"
Somehow, he felt like he'd failed some kind of test. But this thought didn't linger for very long before she kissed him. Now this was a little more of what he'd been looking for.
The edges of his mouth curved upwards and he leaned into the kiss a little, one hand going to the back of Amy's neck, the other to the middle of her back.
When he broke off the kiss with a little gasp, he couldn't keep a grin off his face even though the gasp had been from him not being careful enough with some of his bruises. "Si... te enamoro..." This came out in a whisper, but he really wanted to just shout it to the heavens, making a mockery of what he'd once written to his brother.
"...like a star on a dark night when you've been dancing on the rooftops. Glowing bright, unattainable but you've hope enough to reach up because your blood is running fast and hot...
Well, he probably had somebody to thank because that star was in his arms.

If she could melt, she would have. He loved her? They had known each other for... a few weeks? Maybe a little more than a month? It didn't seem unbelievable.
She wanted everyone to go away, so she could live in this moment forever. Emilio's hands on her body made her insides twist and turn happily.
She had to think. Amy definitely liked Emilio a lot; she could let herself be free around him without worrying about him hurting her, she could go to a beach with him, he stood up for her no matter what, and, now, above all, he said he loved her.
When he gasped, she winced and had to mutter a small, "Oops, sorry," but when his words touched her ears, she lit up. A large smile broke on her face and she hugged him, kissing him once, then twice.
Amorina pulled away so she could look at him and shook her head, keeping her arms around him.
"But... Really? I'm not complaining, it's just... I though it'd take longer."

Emilio was scared for a second there. He figured that it would be over or something because he was coming on so strongly so soon after this ordeal.
But when she lit up, he caught hold of her mood and made it his own. He had known for a while and it wasn't in his nature to let them go on without letting her know his own feelings on the subject.
"Claro que si." His answer was short and he had a brilliant smile on his bruised face as he leaned forward and rested his forehead against hers. "Pues... is fast if you think... like the days... but if you think in feelings, in seconds, in latidos de corazon.... heartbeats... is not such a short time."

His smile only made her body tingle. Why was God so cruel? He had brought this amazing man into her life, along with an old flame. That flame had kept burning until she had to snuff it out in one quick morning. And Emilio was there again. Protective, friendly, and the way he danced with her...
Amorina thought she knew what he said, but even though she was confused, his smile made it all better. She could finally take comfort in the warmth of somebody, not have to worry about being so close to him.
Closing her eyes for a moment, she felt her mind questioning this relationship already. It had been such a short time since Kenric... No. Emilio was no Kenric. Emilio was Emilio, and she knew that he would not hurt her. He seemed too proud.
"True..."
Unfortunately, Amy didn't want to say "I love you too." She didn't want to give off the wrong impression, that just because he said it, she should say it too. She would say it when she was sure of it.
