The Annual Capital Unity Ball is to be held today, as usual. Micah was already 10 minutes late. He didn't have a date so he brought Nora along.
"Nora, we are already late. I hate having to walk in late then you have all of these ugly eyes look at you walking in", Micah hissed, adjusting his tie in the amount of time he has lost count of.
"Well, someone has a hard time getting off their bed", replied Nora.
Hurriedly walking inside, Micah offered his hand to Nora.
"You better put that arm before I smack you. This is the last time you should drag me to stuff like this. If I keep hanging around you, I might never get a girlfriend". Nora is sure one big mean lesbian.
At the ball, there were many congressmen and politicians.
The one who caught Micah eye first.
Senator Nathan, beside him was his wife Bianca York.
Micah rolls his eyes, "there looked so forced together",
"I feel the same, Bianca is so pretty though.", Nora sips a little from the Alcohol in her hand.
Few minutes later, Waltz starts to play. People with their partners step on the floor for the dance.
Micah approached the floor with Nora, gently taking her hand as they danced slowly.
"You owe me for this humiliation, Micah", Nora hissed.
Not very far from them, Micah sees Nathan who gently dances with his wife.
Suddenly, they both lock eyes. Not for once, taking their eyes off each other.
Nathan hands begins to terrible behind Bianca's back, forgetting he had his wife in his arms as his eyes and attention are on Micah as he dances with a girl he had seen him often with. He felt something, maybe jealousy.
"I would go grab something to drink at the bar". Micah goes to the bar.
"Can I get a glass of scotch?"
Mr Malloy, a snide congressman from The Conservative Party sits beside Micah.
"You are so brave, wearing a suit like that makes you look like a pretty boy instead of intimidating. You liberal boys are so weak looking. Politics is a game, you aren't ready to play child ", Mr Malloy grabs he's glass and leaves laughing off.
Micah turns and finds Nathan smirking across the room looking at him like he just heard what Mr Malloy said to him.
Micah grabs his glass on the table, throwing the liquor down his throat as it burns. Then another and another.
Now, he was drunk. He turns around, can't find Nathan any more where he was previously standing.
Search around with his eyes, he sees Nathan walk outside.
Without thinking, he followed him. Micah don't know if he would blame this on the liquor or his ADHD.
Nathan stood at the garden terrace, a cigarette in hand. He needed to breathe, too many thoughts in his mind.
His life has been calm till that kid showed up. He took a long drag and puffed out.
"I didn't know you smoke, what's wrong senator?".
Nathan knew that voice even in his dream.
"Mr Micah, nice to see you. I didn't think I would see you show up at events like this. Probably like a club or you know pride events, is something you would rather be at" smiling sarcastically.
"I guess you enjoy people from your party talk to me like that, don't you?"Micah stood in Nathan's face.
"I don't know what you are talking about, Micah", Nathan scoffed.
"You are drunk and you probably should relax. It's weird you followed me"
"You wanted me"
"You like it when I look at you and the fact I'm drunk"
Micah eyes sparkled as Nathan looked into them.
Then the kiss.
Mouth hungry, hands furious, tougue and teeth clashes against each other in desperation and passion.
Nathan pulls Micah closer to his body, His hands on Micah's hip then to his ass as his squeezed gently.
Micah moans into the kiss.
Nathan suddenly stopped.
"We can't be doing this, don't ever tell anybody, okay?"
He didn't wait for Micah to reply. He went off.
Micah smiled to himself. Not believing he just made out with the so conservative Senator Nathan.
"I guess you aren't bulletproof, Nathan".
