Was this was stupidity looked like?
At first, he was just trying to have fun and attempt to lessen the stress she had quite obviously been put through (stress that was only going to escalate again on Sunday), but Dom should've known better. So, yes, he was the poster child for stupidity as he let this continue; finding himself drifting just a little closer and closer by the second.
She was an asset, and that had to be it. He needed to get her out of this damn country and to safety, and he wasn't safe.
Son esos labios los que me tienen atado, como loco enamorado...
It is those lips that have me tied, like crazy in love...
The man knew the basic steps to a simple salsa, not having danced in quite awhile, but he was pleasantly surprised to see how easily she fell into it like it was second nature. That only spurred him on further, feeling the beat, and clearly forgetting all of his own warnings. Of course, until the song started to slow down right before its end, and he was staring down at her- now forgetting himself. Dom had stopped singing only a moment or so before that, unsure of when he had completely lost his senses, because as she said something, those dark eyes had already dropped to her smiling mouth where they lingered for a little too long.
Everything stilled for a span of a couple of heartbeats as he felt himself leaning forward just an inch until the burning smell snapped them both out of it.
Rosalita was gone from him faster than he could register what had happened, what had nearly happened, and he had to blink. I am a fuckin' idiot, he silently chided himself, realizing he hadn't been breathing until he had to suck in some air. At least none of the boys were around to tell him "I told you so".
Running a hand down his face as if that would help him snap out of it a bit more, he chuckled lowly if only to break the tension. "I'm, uh, sorry about that...but you did kind of challenge me." He got a little carried away, what else was new? Dominic stood there, not really knowing what else to say or do.
