Starting Over

11. The Prom night, again?

"Roger", Eros laughed , as Kristine walked out of the house and walked across to Lucy's.

"Lucy!", Kristine said, getting inside her room. Lucy looked up at her and smiled.

"Let's get ready, okay?", she said. Lucy remained silent, then nodded. Kristine handed over the gown to her, and she changed. Then, she held her hair up, making it into a bun, leaving two strands out , and fixing it with flower shaped clips. She slid bracelets through her hand, and fixed her dress. Finally, after an hour, she smiled.

"You look beautiful", Kristine said. Lucy looked at herself in the mirror. She had worn a trusty  full- length white and blue gown, and a smile. She looked simple, beautiful. And there was one thing she didn't know. Kristine had dressed her the same way, when she was thirteen.

The bell rang downstairs. Kristine held Lucy by her hand and pulled her  , demanding her to open the door. Lucy slowly opened the door, and saw Blake standing there.

He looked stunning. He had worn a black tuxedo, and his blonde hair was neatly combed. His blue eyes looked at her with affection and awe, reminding him of the thirteen- year- old Lucy.  Lucy was awe struck by his beauty.

"You look beautiful", he said, smiling at her. She blushed.

"Thank you"

"Ahem -ahem. Go now you both!", Kristine said, pushing Lucy gently into his arms. Lucy straightened up as she looked at Blake. Eros walked towards Kristine and pulled her close, as they saw the both of them walk down the street.

Blake and Lucy walked in the comforting silence of each other for some time.

"So where are we going?", Lucy said after some time.

Blake grinned. "To a street"

"Street?", Lucy asked. Blake chuckled. "Yeah"

We sure have unique memories, Lucy thought , amused.

Blake stopped after some time. They were there.

The street was the same that night, silent and isolated. Only this time, street lights stood by each other, making it look bright under the starry night sky.

It was starting. Their magic.

Blake got up, and extended his hand. "May I have the honor to dance with you, Lucy?", he said, softly. But to his surprise, a drop of water fell on his head. Then another. And then, water poured above him. It was raining. Heavily, all of a sudden. Blake's hand dropped. It's ruined. There's no point. He ran his hand through his already wet blonde hair.

"I'm sorry, Lucy.. Let's find shelter", he said, disappointed. Lucy shook her head and smiled. She got up and held his hand.

"We're gonna dance, Blake", she said.

"No, Lucy , we can't-"

"Yes, we will", she said, taking his hand and moving around gently.

Blake looked into her eyes. They looked back at  his, assuring him. He slowly slid his hand around her waist, pulling her close to him gently. And as the rain poured from above, it seemed to have being washing away their sorrows.

They danced on the street, turning, twirling. They looked like a beautiful couple, under the night sky dazzling with stars and pouring the rain. They danced under the lights, slowly moving into the shadows. All they needed was each other, and other things would happen.

"So this is what happened that day?", Lucy said softly.

"Yeah, only it wasn't raining", Blake replied. Lucy smiled at him.

"I think it's better."

"It is?"

"Yes, I like it this way.", she said.

"Well, its more normal at least", Blake said. Lucy laughed.

"Normal? I'd call this...different"

Blake smiled at her. Yes, Lucy. It's different. Just like you. Blake was content that day, unbelievably content.

Lucy slowly placed her head on his shoulder. He rocked her along with the music, moving slowly across the street. Moving along with her, taking small steps with her.

How beautiful it looked. And behind a street light, away from them, under an umbrella, Eros and Kristine smiled. They looked at each other and nodded.

As Lucy and Blake danced , oblivious of what was going around them, lost into each other's eyes, Eros and Kristine knew one thing.

Yes, Lucy was falling for Blake again.

Yes, they were falling for each other, yet again.
