A V A
It was already Saturday and Rose and I had gone dress shopping the day after Blake asked me to Prom we also bought a dress for graduation since it was on Monday. I found a very pretty, Maroon dress that had a plunging neck line and thigh high slits. Prom started at six and it was four right now, Rose said that we should start getting ready now because she had to do both of our makeup.
Rose was doing my makeup because I had no idea how to, the only form of makeup I put was mascara and sometimes lipstick.
Rose was getting ready at my house because I couldn’t go to her house because Blake was there and she didn’t want Blake to see me in my dress until I was ready, only thing he knows is that the dress is a maroon colour.
I had just gotten out of the shower and Rose was sitting on my bed, she was waiting in sweatpants and a simple top. She had her dress with her, she was wearing a flowy, off the shoulder baby blue dress.
Rose had already taken a shower before she came to my house to get ready, her hair was straightened. I was going to put my hair in loose curls.
“Finally, you’re done with your shower, let’s get you ready. I need to do your makeup, and then I need to do mine” she smiles and gets up from my bed and practically runs to me.
She kept on saying how she was really excited for this and how she was waiting for this for her whole life.
I was pretty excited too, I never expected anyone to actually ask me to Prom and Blake to end up dating me. This thought never ran through my head when I first moved here almost 8 months ago.
“Ok hurry up, do your hair.” Rose claps her hands together.
“Geez, Rose calm down. We have a whole 2 hours with us to get ready” I say while I pull out the curling iron from one of the draws from my dresser.
After a few minutes of Rose complaining for me to hurry up, I was finally done with my hair, my brown hair was kept in loose curls.
“Ok now let me do your makeup” she then aggressively turns my face in her direction and she starts to do her thing.
While doing my makeup she kept mumbling how Blake “wouldn’t be able to control himself” or something along the same line.
Almost half an hour later she was done with my makeup.
“Geez, you were moving so much. It was so hard to do that” Rose shakes her head before turning me around to look at myself in the mirror of my dresser.
Rose did a good job, my face wasn’t caked with makeup, she had kept it simple, she had put for me a deep red lipstick. To say the least I looked pretty. (A/N: I don’t know how to explain the look Rose gave Ava because I have no idea how makeup works, you can imagine it however you like )
She then started to do her own makeup, by the time she was over with it it was already 5:30. How did that happen? Time flys when you’re too occupied with something.
We got dressed. Rose changed into her baby blue dress then I changed into my red one, I wore my dress with black strapless heels.
We both looked at each other when we were ready.
“You look so nice, Blake would definitely not be able to control himself.” Rose smiles brightly at me when she looks at me.
“I could say the same about Conner and you” I smirk back.
Just then my mom walks in and she gasps, like the dramatic person she is.
“You guys look so beautiful, come here let me take a picture!” My mom says before she literally sprints to her room then comes back with a camera.
Typical.
“Ok, lets go to the backyard, it’s better if you take a picture outside” my mom mutters and drags us outside and down the stairs and to the backyard.
“Now. Stand close” she continues and brings the camera up to her face.
Rose and I stand in front of the camera and smile into it.
Just then bell rings and my mom literally squeals like a school girl.
This is so embarrassing.
Why is she so energetic? Why can’t I be as energetic as a 40 year old?
“That must be your dates” she says before she runs to open the door.
“Conner! Blake!—Oh Ann, you’re here too. Great!” my mom yells.
Oh lord…
Blake and Conner walk to the backyard and I almost faint when I see Blake. He was wearing a black suit with a white dress shirt, his pocket square was maroon which was matching with my dress.
I think Blake had the same reaction as me except he probably didn’t feel like fainting, he only stopped in his tracks and his eyes widened.
After a few seconds he comes up to me and places his hands on my waist, he had a big smile on his face, he then hands me a corsage that had different colours, it had a pastel pink, small purple and pink flowers and some white ones as well, he ties it around my wrist and then is when I notice that he had the same type of flowers in his pocket of his suit.
“You look… gorgeous” he smiles down at me. A small blush forming on my face.
“You don’t look bad either” I smile at him while I put my hands on his chest.
Just then we hear a camera click and a flash go off, we both turn and I see Ann smiling at us sheepishly while my mum was just jumping around behind her.
She more excited than I am, honestly.
“Sorry, I forgot to shut the flash” Ann smiles.
“Mom” Blake groans and looks up at the sky, his hands still on my waist.
“We’re leaving” Blake calls out to Rose and Conner, as well as both our moms.
“No one more picture, please” My mom says.
“No—” I was cut of by Blake.
“Alright” He says and pulls me close and turns to the camera, we both smile and my mom takes a picture of both of us.
“Okay, one more, one more” my mom says. But I was already pulling Blake away and I was shaking my head, it was about to be six in 20 minutes.
“No, we’re going” I say.
“Bye guys, see you at the hotel” Rose waves.
Prom was taking place in a hall at a hotel, Rose and Conner were coming in Conner’s car and Blake and I were going in Blake’s car.
Once we reached the door of the car Blake opens the passenger door for me and smiles at me.
He looks hot.
“Did I say that you look very beautiful?” Blake says and he sits in the drivers seat and starts the car.
“Yeah, you did. Did I say you’re very good looking?” I smile.
“I mean… I’m always—” before he could finish the sentence I playfully shoved him to make him stop saying what he was going to because I knew he was going to say something cocky.
“Don’t finish that sentence” I glare.
“I’m always hot” Blake says it anyways, shooting me a smirk.
We kept of talking until we reached school, Blake opened my door for me again and I thanked him before I started to fix my dress.
We walked to the door of the hotel and there was board which had the school name and an arrow guiding us to the hall of the hotel.
Once we reached the hall we pushed open the wooden door of the hall there were many people already there, some sitting and talking, some dancing to the music and other eating.
We both walked to a table and sat down, we continued to talk till we saw Rose and Conner walk in too, they looked around until they spotted us and they walked up to us.
We all talked about different stuff before Conner got up and asked Rose to dance, Blake and I following after.
We were about to finish dancing to our second song when Blake looked a little bit uncomfortable, like he wanted to say something but wasn’t sure if it was right.
“Blake? Are you okay?” I ask, a little bit concerned about him.
“Ava” he starts off, his hands on my waist tighten about and I raise my eyebrow, signalling him to continue.
“Yes?” I say and tighten my grip that was around his neck, waiting for him to continue.
“Uh—first of all, have I told you, you look absolutely stunning?”He says looking around at anything but my face.
“Yeah you have, twice actually. Now, can you tell me what’s bothering you?” I ask him.
“Um, I’ve—I’ve been thinking about this for a few weeks, I was a bit confused at first because I’ve never actually been in a committed relationship before and you mean a lot to me and you’re really cool and chill and—” he starts rambling.
“Get to the point please, you’re kind of freaking me out now” I cut him off and squeeze his shoulder.
“Right… Ava, I—I love you, no ones ever made me feel this way except for you. Even when you first came here, there was something about you that I couldn’t get enough of. Now, I know you may not feel the same way about me yet but I understand, I just wanted to tell you how I—” He was cut off by me once again but this time I cut him off by giving his a sweet kiss on the lips.
Holy shit.
“I love you too Blake, it was confusing in the beginning because I’ve never really been in a relationship before. Blake, you make me feel special, and I now honestly can’t think of my life without you” I smile at him, I was blushing about but it didn’t matter because Blake Reynolds loves me.
If that makes sense.
Blake smiles at me and was about to say something but we were cut off by the principle.
“Student, I know you’ve been waiting for this for a long time but we will be announcing the Prom Queen and King now” she smiles.
Right… I completely forgot about that.
“I’ll start with the Prom Queen, She’s smart, talented, kind and unique in her own way. Can we please clap for Annabelle Davis!” The principle says while she claps her hand.
Everyone else claps too while Annabelle walks up to the stage, a big smile playing on her face, she takes the fake crown from the principle and puts it on her head.
Of course she would get chosen, after she joined this school she became good friends with Bertha and then Annabelle took the spot as Queen Bee. Let’s just say that Bertha got really mad and stopped talking to her.
She was wearing this extremely small golden dress, it was barely covering her butt. Her red hair was pulled back in a high ponytail, and it was pin straight.
“Now for the Prom King, his charming looks can swoon any girl off her feet, known to be a gentle man and also Quarterback of the football team, please welcome Blake Reynolds!” The principle continues.
Yay, That’s my boyfriend.
Blake then let’s go of my hand that he was holding and walks up the stage.
Did I ever mention that he looks extremely hot in a suit?
Blake smiles and takes the crown from the principle before walking back to me.
He removes the crown from his head and places it on mine.
“What are you doing? You’re going to ruin my hair” I laugh and remove the crown from my head and I place it back on Blake’s head.
He was about to put it back on my head but he got interrupted by someone clearing their throat.
“Want to dance with me, Blake?” Annabelle’s nasally voice.
“No, I was about to ask Ava on a dance” Blake turns to me after he of so politely declined Annabelle.
“Sure” I say and then Blake smiles at me before wrapping his hands around my waist and pulling me to the dance floor.
We didn’t know where Rose or Conner because after Prom Queen and King were announced they disappeared.
While Blake and I were dancing he kept on looking at something behind me.
“Are you still talking to Vincent?” Blake asks, his electric blue eyes meet my green ones.
“No, after I found out that Annabelle was the one paying him to harass me, I stopped talking to him” I shake my head.
“Annabelle was paying him?” Blake looks at me confused.
I just nod my head. I hear Blake mutter something but I couldn’t understand what he was saying.
Once the dance was over we sat back at our table and started talking about university.
Rose and Conner appear again and sit back on the table.
“Where has you guys gone?” Blake asks
“Oh, we went to get some food” Conner nods.
But they didn’t have any food in their hands.
Yeah… they definitely didn’t go to get food…
After some time, I checked my phone and I saw that it was already 10, I was starting to get a little bit tired.
“Let’s head back home” Blake says and pulls me up as well.
“Okay, we’ll be staying for a bit longer, you guys can go” Rose says
We both say bye to Conner and Rose before walking out of the hotel and back to Blake’s car.
“Did you enjoy tonight?” Blake asks me as he backs out of the hotel parking lot.
“Yeah… it was the best night ever” I smile at him.
“I’m staying over at yours, is that alright?” Blake asks.
“Yeah, that’s fine” I nod my head and smile at him.
Once we reached home, mom, dad and Sophia were already sleeping.
We quietly walked to my room, I changed into some comfy clothes and Blake changed into his boxer.
Let’s just say Rose was right and Blake couldn’t control himself…
