So @selene-tempest and @i-t-guy-in-the-sky 's first ever dance together was at a charity auction ball that Penelope was hosting, but they couldn't tell you what the song was because Penny was in her Bridgerton era and so it was some modern song played like it was the 1700's and they all kinda blend together.
But their first dance at their wedding was to Rule the World by Take That, which went like this:
"She was so focused on tracking down the mystery trouble maker that she didnāt notice someone was behind her until they tapped her on the shoulder.
āCan I have this dance?ā
āLike I could ever say no,ā she smiled, accepting the hand her husband held out, allowing him to lead her to the dance floor as the song he had chosen began to play. From the first words she knew exactly why he had picked it and couldnāt help the stupid smile that formed.
When they reached the center of the dance floor she wound her arms around his neck, just as she had so long ago at Penelopeās ball, the first and only time they had had the opportunity to dance like this.
Once again they were the center of attention but this time he didnāt mind in the slightest. His hands settled on her waist, pulling her in closer as they rocked slowly in time to the music, rotating on the spot, bodies swaying in sync.Ā
John watched as she mimed along to the words, resting her forehead against his, the rest of the world fading into the background. Nothing mattered to him but the woman in his arms, she was his whole world.Ā
The first time they had danced had been a statement, him showing her, and everyone else, that she was good enough, that she was special, amazing and his. Heād forced himself out of his comfort zone, voluntarily putting himself in the spotlight for her, but he hadnāt regretted it for an instant. He just wished that heād realised then what he knew for certain now, just how much he loved her.
When she tipped her head back to look at him he was unable to resist the lure of her lips, ignoring the whoops and cheers from their audience, simply relaxing into their kiss.
As was customary, around halfway through their dance others started to trickle out onto the dance floor to join them, giving them time to simply be together and enjoy without all eyes focused on them.
āHave I told you today that I love you?āĀ
āNot recently, no, you married me but Iām not sure thatās enough,ā John grinned. āI think you need to tell me again.ā
āI really, really love you.ā
Selene raised an eyebrow expectantly.
āYouāre OK I suppose.ā
He ducked the smack she aimed at his shoulder and caught hold of her hand, swinging her around into a slightly awkward waltz, loving the way she squealed in shock, laughing as he towed her around.
They were still laughing when Scott cut in at the end of the song, wanting to claim his dance.
āRegretting giving up your backup spot?ā John teased as he released his hold on Selene, swapping her for Cat, Scottās date for the night.
āIāll make sure he gives her back to you,ā Cat promised as Scott swept Selene off into a lively and completely ridiculous version of a tango, her hat flying off her head.Ā "
And that's their first dance!
