Natalie
"How would you feel if I slid through right now", I sung , turning up the volume on the tv. Dancing in the room with a towel and a face masks, wasting time. I had a total of two hours left, so I'm using them wisely. I've been in in a awesome mood all day, maybe it's the fact that the day is finally here, prom. The day to feel like a princess, dress up and look pretty, with a prince charming. It all lasted for a night, like Cinderella.
After five more minutes of dancing around, I went in the bathroom, washing off the masks. Feeling the air in my pores, I felt so refreshed. Returning to my room, I sat in front of my vanity, looking in the mirror. Unwrapping the scarf from my hair, it revealed the slick back ponytail under. I felt it, not seeing any stray hairs, making me smile at the accomplishment. I re-tied it not wanting anything to come out of place, this wasn't coming off until the dress comes on.
I decided to do a basic makeup look, I didn't want to take any attention away from the dress. On top, I wasn't planning on spending an hour in the mirror trying to do anything extravagant. Makeup isn't and never has been a top hobby for me, I have to be in the mood for it. My phone rung, and I answered seeing a call from Aubrey. "Bitchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" she dragged out, angling the phone to a low angle and kept her other hand on the wheel. "I'm already on the way, I will be steaming your dress" she said, taking over the job, I wasn't complaining, because my mom offered to do it anyways.
"My mom was-"
"Don't let her touch it, I wanna help prepare you for prom" she said hype, as she turned into my neighborhood. "I'm finna be in your driveway, come unlock the door".
Going downstairs, I hung up the phone, opening the front door. Momma stood behind me, looking outside with a smile on her face. "Hey, Aubrey" she beamed, giving her a hug. "I had a feeling you'd be coming."
"Of course, I'm not missing out on her big night" she said, coming in the house with a steamer. "Where's the dress" she questioned, ready to plug up her supplies. I pointed towards the iron board as she rushed towards it. She put her hair in a quick ponytail, pushing it out her face.
Once the dress was done being steamed, she came upstairs with me to watch me put it on. Sliding on the dress, I literally almost cried in amazement. It fit likes a glove in all the right places. Turning around, I did a slight twerk in the mirror. This dress made me look thicker than what I really am, my type of vibe. "You looking fine best friennnnnnddddd" she hyped, taking a video of me, turning around.
"Yes I do" I agreed , taking off my bonnet and scarf. "Bad bitch in the building" I chanted as she danced with me.
"Louis finna be all over you tonight" Aubrey said as I stopped dancing, giving her a straight face. "What I'm just saying".
I shook my head. "I don't think all that's gonna happen. We're just friends" I reminded her, hoping that she'll come to her senses. Instead she waved me off, ignoring my statement. "Girl bye, friends my ass. Friends don't kiss each other" she said, opening the door and guiding me out the room. Giving her a playful eye roll, the door bell rung. Luke opened it , Louis and Nadia came through the door dressed to impress. My nerves got bad from seeing him, he is truly a breath taking sight to see.
Seeing him a tuxedo, made me a little weak inside. Holding on to the rail, I treaded downstairs lightly , not wanting to buss my ass in these high heels. Camera's were flashing from everywhere and behind me was Nathan coming down. "The baddest twins in the game" momma said excitedly, snapping another picture of us on the stairway. "Stand with your dates" she demanded in a rushed tone. "Okay, pose" she said, adjusting the camera to fit all of us one picture.
Louis leaned down, even with these heels, we weren't even close to the same height. "You look stunning" he whispered, his arm around my waist and me standing in front of him. "I'm loving the tux. You look handsome" I stated and switched into another position. We went outside, standing in front of the blooming bushes in the front yard. I gave him a hug as he leaned down to kiss my forehead. We than sat on top of his car, holding up the peace sign as they continued to give us a mini photo shoot. "Okay I think that's enough", I spoke up, liking to be on the way there.
"Have a good time, you look amazing honey" momma gushed, wiping a tear from her eye as Luke hugged her, comforting her. "Don't start being emotional" he said laughing at her.
"I'm trying, awwww look at my little boy" , momma sniffled looking at Nathan. "You've grown into such a amazing man". She said starting to full on cry. "Natalie it seems like you were just running around in your pull up, pretending to be Minnie Mouse".
"Maaaaaa" I said as she lifted her arms up in surrender. Louis laughed and he immediately shut down when I looked at him. "We will not be speaking of that" I said. "Bye mom, love you, we are leaving now".
"Love you to, hun" she said happily, waving at us as Louis drove down the road. "Pick a song" he unlocked his phone, handing it to me, giving me to free will to his playlists. I stared in awe at the fact that we had the same taste in music. Not many people listened to songs from the early two-thousands anymore and it truly amazed me. Apart of me expected for him to have nothing but NBA YoungBoy all down his playlist, like most dudes. "I'm impressed at the taste in music".
Pressing on a song, Mrs. Officer came on and immediately started doing a mini dance in the seat. "We can hear the angels calling us", I leaned in, sitting my phone on the dashboard, letting that camera get a perfect view of both is us. "We can see the sunrise before us" I sung, as Louis raised his eyebrow, laughing at me.
Stopping at a red light, he leaned over to me, close to my ear. "And when I'm in that thang, I'll make that body sang" his raspy voice sung in my ear, causing me to kinda tense up, forgetting about the video. Laughing off my horny streak, I stopped the video as he continued to drive to the destination. This boy is literally a walking temptation, he can't be pulling stuff like this. "Ha, someone got a little hot", he taunted at me as I gave him the middle finger in return.
We soon pulled up at the hotel. Finding a parking spot, he came around to my side, opening the door. Taking my hand, he wrapped his arm around me waist, leading me inside the building. A small cafe to the right for food and coffee, and a stairway leading to the ballroom. "Ooooo, I can't believe this is senior fucking prom", I mumbled to myself, as the music could be heard from up here.
"Don't be nervous, we're gonna have a great time." He assured me and there wasn't a doubt in my mind. Taking our tickets out my purse, I gave them to the lady in the front and we headed inside. Balloons in each corner of the room, strobe lights moving around, shining light on all the moving bodies in the room. It was dim lighting, reminding you of a movie scene from a party. Many were on the dance floor, some sat down because their feet were hurting, and some couples were posted against the wall. "You wanna dance" he questioned, holding out his hand for me to grab, I waste no time as we hit the dance floor.
"WE FINNA TAKE IT BACK TO THE EARLY YEARS" the DJ shouted, putting his hand on the side of his earphones, and using the other to rotate the track. No Hands x Roscoe x Waka Flacka Flame x Wale, they instantly made me wanna bust out into a twerk session right than and there. Standing in front of Louis, his hands tightened on the sides of my lower wrists as I bent over.
Girl the way you movin , got me in a trance
Dj turn me up, ladies this yo jam (c'mon)
I'ma sip moscato and you gon' lose dem pants
"THEN I'MA THROW THIS MONEY WHILE YOU DO IT WITH NO HANDS" the whole room shouted as my ass shook to the beat and he wasted no time catching it. Our bodies close, me being against his print and that only amped me to keep going. "GIRL DROP IT TO THE FLOOR, I LOVE THE WAY YO BOOTY GO" , I hollered as my hands were glued to my knees, increasing my speed and slowed a down a little bit out of nowhere, managing to stay on best the entire time. That little trick had started to catch everyone's attention, which made me go harder.
"Shit" Louis mumbled behind me in disbelief as his grip became tighter and I felt his body moving against mine. "SHAKE THAT SHIT GIRL" Nadia shouted out of nowhere, I looked up seeing her doing a mini twerk on my brother, who seemed to be in heaven right now.
The song had ended and I stood up fully, putting my hands on my hips. Some people judged twerking but it's truly a workout, no lie. "That was some magic you did there" Louis commented as I went to the punch table. There were wine glasses , flipped upside down, waiting for punch to be poured in them. I grabbed to of them for him and I, filling them up with punch that seemed hella sweet. "I guess you can call if magic" , I responded, passing him his glass as he smirked.
"The way you changed transitions is amazing and I got a front row seat" he slyly smirked, sipping some of his punch. The flirting is on an all time high tonight, I'm just hoping it doesn't get us in any trouble. "Takes a lot of practice" I replied , grabbing his hand and leading him towards the desert table.
"Should've known you were gonna make a stop to this table" he picked up a plate, picking up some cookies for me and putting them on the plate. "You want a piece of cake" be questioned, pointing at the different options. "There's cheesecake, chocolate, and strawberry short cake", he named them all and I couldn't choose.
"Would it be fat to get a piece of all" I timidly smiled as he laughed at me, putting all of them on the plate. "Who cares, it's your night do whatever you want. If that means getting a sugar rush, then so be it" he said, as we sat at the table. Using my fork, I took a piece of the cake and held it up for Louis to taste. "Does it taste good" he nodded, groaning at the taste.
Giving him that fork, I grabbed another one, tasting some of the cheesecake first, and moaning in satisfaction. For a prom, they went all out and I loved it. The whole set up but you in mind of a ball, the girls looked so classy from the dressy to the hair and makeup, truly stunning. The men dressed for success in their tuxedos , matching their dates. The turnout is truly amazing and this is one hell of a night.
Trying some of the cookies, I wasn't to impressed but they're good for the moment. "Your cookies taste better" I mentioned, watching the smile spread even more on his face. "Hmm really? I think you should feed me some so I can try it".
"Trynna act handy cap" I laughed, feeding him a piece, he chewed it with a look of concentration on his face. With him being a chef and all he was really trynna analyze every ounce of sweetness. "It's okay but it's not made from scratch" he said and I had already figured that out.
Nadia and Nathan sat down hand in hand. The two seemed so happy together and it truly warmed my heart. "My feet are killing me" Nadia complained, taking off her heels under the table, sighing in relief. She leaned against Nathan who was currently stuffing his face with a piece of cake. "No one told you to wear them eight inch heels" Nathan retorted, not feeling any sympathy towards the situation. My eyes widened at hearing the height, because that's a death wish for me to even think about. Heels has never been my thing except for the two inch ones, anything above that is a no go.
"Her reasoning was because Nathan is so much taller than her so she wanted to be closer to his height" Louis said, rolling his eyes. "Mom said she shouldn't but she insisted".
"Geesh can y'all let my feet hurt in piece." She pouted, shaking her head. "I wanted to be the same height as my man"
"Your man" I repeated looking between the two of them as she blushed. "Y'all finally made it official, ahhhhhhh" I said, holding out my for a high five and Nathan reached over giving me one.
"I'm so happy for y'all", I gushed in awe.
A photographer came up to us, holding up his camera. "Wanna take a picture" we all agreed, posing next our dates. He showed us the end result and I would definitely purchase a copy for memories. "Y'all trynna head back to the dance floor" I questioned, rushing out the seat. Louis followed behind me as Nathan started doing the woah. "DONT LEAVE ME GUYS" Nadia yelled over the loud music, being left behind as she struggled to put back on her heels.

"You hungry" Louis questioned as he pulled into the McDonald's driveways. It's going on one o'clock in the morning and I'm beat. I have been dancing all night, this dress is starting to become to make me hot. "Can I have a ten piece nugget meal" I asked, leaning my head back on the seat, scrolling through Instagram. People were still posting them being at after parties or them staying at a hotel with their dates.
"Okay" he said as he ordered the meals. Once he pulled up to window, he paid and we got our food. He passed the bags of food to me, letting me check to see if they got the orders right. "Everything good", I said and he pulled off.
I opened up the box to my nuggets, taking one of them and dipping it into the honey mustard. For some reason McDonald's food always hits best late at night. "Can you feed me my burger" Louis asked pouting at me. "Sure" I said, reaching down in the bag, unwrapping it and held it to his lips. I laughed as he took a big bite, closing his eyes in satisfaction. "Maybe I'm just hungry but this shit bomb as fuck".
"I'm exhausted" I said slowly chewing on a fry.
"That and this suit is hot as hell" he complained tugging at the neck of his tuxedo. "I hate dressing up".
"Same but it's fun sometimes" I said. Most days you'll catch me wearing some sweatpants and a crop top. My closet is full of casual and bummy type outfits, it's rare you'll catch me dressing up to just go the store or something. "Did you have a good time" I asked but the smile on his face has already answered the question.
"It was fun as hell, you cool to be around" he complimented , looking at me out the corner of his eye.
"You to" I said as we sat in a comfortable silence. I've been trying to keep it together all night but he makes so hard. I just got out of a breakup and here I am finding someone else attractive. "We're here" he said pulling me out of my thoughts. "Imma walk you to the door" he said and I nodded not trying to argue with him.
I threw my trash away and got my purse out his car. He stood behind me, holding the back of my dress while I struggled to find the house key. Finally coming across it, I pulled it out, waving it around in victory. Turning towards him, we stood in a awkward silence, just staring at each other. "Welp" I broke the silence as both laughed at each other. His laughter had died down has his eyes roamed my body but went back up to my lips. He stepped closer to me, his expression complex as if he's mentally debating with himself.
"Can I break the rules and kiss you"our eyes gazed into each other's. Pulling his face closer to mine, our lips an inch from touching. "Yes" I answered as he wasted no time, eliminating the space between us. His hands fell lower on my waist, almost touching my butt. It felt like we stood in the same spot locking lips for almost twenty minutes. All the tension rising, making it hotter than usual.
"Oh wow" I said as we pulled away in astonishment at what happened. He kissed me on the cheek, waving. "Thanks for a good time, Natalie" he said leaving me on the doorstep, struck. I didn't realize my hand has been on the doorknob for the longest and as yet to unlock the damn door.
He's such a good kisser...
