Infinite Summer

Prom 2.0

Belly's Pov

It's been days since Conrad came here. He was leaving tomorrow afternoon. I've been lying around on his bed watching him pack his things.
"Are you seriously leaving? It's only been like 5 days?!" I said to him.
"I have to. I've already bought the ticket." He said folding the last piece of clothing.
"But I'm only gonna be here for another 4 weeks. Why don't you stay here and we just go home together?" I asked him giving him the puppy eyes. "You're still waiting for the news from the med school. You don't have much to do anyways. Might as well stay here with me." I begged.
"I'm sorry. I have to leave." He said walking up to me kissing my head.
"I hate this." I said.
"Me too." He said brushing my hair through his fingers.

"You know, I have something for you." He said walking to the wardrobe bringing a teal colored box.
"What is this?" I asked curious sitting up.
"Open it." He said sitting in front of me grinning. I sat up excitedly and pulled out the ribbon. I looked at him before I opened the lid of the box. It was a dress. A purple dress. The same color that I wore to prom. I took it out to look at the dress. It was a long tulle dress. It's beautiful. Really beautiful. Then suddenly he gave me another box. It was smaller than the other one. I took it from him and opened the box. It was a corsage. Two corsages.
"I didn't get to take you to your senior prom. I couldn't give you two corsages to wear on each wrist." He said taking the corsages and putting it on both my wrists.
"So will you be my prom date, again?" He asked shyly.

"Prom?" I asked confused.
"Well, there's this restaurant, with dancing and live music and all. I planned it all. Let's just call it our prom?" He said nervously. "I mean, not making you happy and letting you go that night is one of the things that I regret. If I could turn back time, I would do things differently. You looked perfect in your lilac dress. The most beautiful girl in the whole world, and I didn't even appreciate it enough. I mean I took you for granted. I should've made you feel like you were a princess, because you are. You are my princess. And I love you. Never stopped loving you. And I wish I could take you to prom. Do it all over again? Make it way better? If you'd like, I mean. Only if you want to." I giggle watching him talk nervously. I leaned in and pressed my lips against his softly. I felt my stomach flipped as he kisses me back.
"I'd love to." I said smiling. "I love the dress."
"I'll pick you up tonight at 7?" He asks shyly.
"Okay." I said. So I grabbed the presents and left his hotel.

I had 3 hours to get ready. I decided to go to the beauty bar to get my whole body waxed. Then showered, put make up on and do my hair. The dress goes up to the bottom of my knee and it's the kind of dress that's shaped like a pastry. It's beautiful and adorable. It had a turtle neck and sleeveless. I put half of my hair up and the other down and I used my curling iron to make some curls. I did some minimal make up and I was sure Taylor would yell at me and tell me to put more on. Though I think this perfect. Some light blush, mascara, highlighter, and nude-pink gloss. As I was putting on my heels I hear the knock on the door. I put on lotion and lots of perfume then opened the door. He stands there wearing a navy suit and tie with a box of corsages in his hand. He smiled so wide as he looked at me. He opened up the box and put both of the corsages on each of my wrist. It matches the one on his chest. Without warning, he walked up to me and put his hands on my waist and leaned in slowly and kissed me. His kiss was sweet and soft, giving me tingles down my spine.

"You look like the most beautiful girl in this whole universe." He said after he kisses me.
"You're over exaggerating." I said grinning.
"You are completely wrong." He said and gives me one more kiss. He opens up his hand asking for mine. "Are you ready?" He asked. I grabbed his hand and locked the door.
"Yes!" I said. Then he leads me down to a taxi.
"If we were in America I would've ordered us a limo. I couldn't find one here." He said in the car.
"What? No. It's prom. We have to ride a fancy car!" I said teasingly making him roll his eyes. We stopped in front of a restaurant. It was a very fancy restaurant almost like a ballroom with people wearing fancy clothes eating and dancing. Every time I pass this restaurant I've always wondered how cool it would be to be there. He held my hand and guided me towards our table. He pulled out the chair and let me sit first. I blushed thinking what a gentleman he was. A waiter came to welcome us and pour champagne on our glass.
