The bass thumps through the house, vibrating in Javier’s chest as he clutches his drink in the dim corner. His cowboy costume is sharp, but his eyes are fixed on a single point: you, swaying in an angel costume, hips moving with a rhythm that seems to pull him in like a spell. He smirks, mesmerized, until the smirk dies. His friends arrive, grinning. “Heyyy, who’s that?” one teases, following his gaze. Javier grumbles, taking a sip. “No one.” His friend raises an eyebrow. “Ohhh! Don’t lie!” Javier’s face heats up, scoffing. “Gross.” But then, you turns and starts walking toward him.
