It was around 4pm when we got back to the university. When we walked through the door, the boys were watching tv. Blade was eating his lunch as Milo turned to look at me and gave me a warm smile. I smiled back at him.
I went to my closet to grab my dress. I laid it out on my bed and got my shoes to put it with it. I looked at the outfit, satisfied with my taste in style. I then grabbed my phone and ordered some food for both Megan and I. I was gonna order Milo something, but he said he didn’t want anything because he just ate.
When the time came upon 8pm, I knew it was time to get ready for the dance. I told the boys to take their showers first because we were gonna take longer and we needed the bathroom. After they took their showers, Megan and I went into the bathroom together, took our showers, and we both helped each other with our accessories and other things like that.
After helping her with her things, she helped me with mine. After getting my dress on, Megan did my hair, helped me with my contacts, and did my makeup for me. After that, I added my accessories and looked at the final results in the big mirror in the bathroom.
“It’s perfect,” Megan said. “Milo will love it. He wouldn’t be able to keep his hands off of you.”
“You really think so,” I asked.
“Of course,” she said, walking up behind me. “You look amazing.”
“Thanks,” I said. “You do, too.”
Megan knocked on the door to see if the boys were dressed. When they said they were, she walked out of the bathroom first so I could make a “grand entrance.”
“Here comes the once 18 year old, now 19 year old,” she said. “Nemy!”
I walked out of the bathroom and the first person who caught my eye was Milo who looked at me in awe as he walked over to me. He looked handsome in a tux.
“Oh my god,” he said, grabbing my hand and twirling me around. I just giggled the whole time he did. “You look hot.”
“Thanks,” I said.
I let go of his hand and grabbed my purse, excited and ready for the dance.
Once we got to the auditorium, we all looked around the room in awe. It was beautiful. The only thing that caught my eye was the drinks. I couldn’t believe they allowed alcoholic drinks for all people. Milo and I said we were both going sober while Blade and Megan said they were gonna get a couple drinks.
20 minutes into the dance, a slow dance pops up.
“Will you dance with me,” Milo asked, holding his hand out for me to grab.
“Of course,” I said as he took my hand.
He pulled me in close and we danced the night away. At one moment, we saw Megan and Blade outside, talking and laughing with their drinks.
After the song was over, Milo pulled me outside to the garden where Blade took me the first night I was here. When we got there, holding hands, Megan was already there, waiting either for us or just for one person.
“I knew you would come here,” she said to Milo.
She got up and kissed him. Milo let go of my hand and pushed her off immediately.
“Why would you kiss me,” he asked.
“Because you like me,” she said, “right?”
“No I don’t,” he said. “I like Nemy.”
“And I like him, too,” I butted in, looking at him and back at her. “More than anything. More than you. You knew I liked him, and you just got drunk just to kiss him? I knew you were desperate, but not this desperate to try to steal my man.”
“He’s not yours,” she said. “He’s mine.”
“Actually, I’m her’s,” he said, looking at me as he grabbed my hand again. “I would never be yours,” he said, looking back at Megan. “Get! Lost!”
She ran away, crying as Milo turned to me.
“Did you mean what you said,” I asked.
“Of course I did,” he said.
“Are you sure,” I said. “Blade said that same thing, and I believed it. You know what happened there.”
“I am nothing like him,” he said. “I promise that I’ll never be like Blade.”
“Ok.”
“Did you mean what you said about me,” he asked.
“Yes.”
“Ok,” he said. “Good. Will you be my girlfriend?”
I smiled and said, “Yes I will.”
He then grabbed my waist with his other hand, pulled me in closer and kissed me and I kissed him back.
