I Wish You Would

"Come on! You are going to be terribly late! I swear Rachel, one of these days, I am going to murder you if you are late one more time! Dylan and Jon are supposed to pick us up in 5. My hair is still left! Ash! Get her out of the bathroom quick!" It was time for the New Year party. This year it was held in the town hall, to celebrate 50 years since that building was built.

"Emma....why don't you take my sash and shove it in Kaylen's mouth? The loss might be worth it. Dylan called me ten minutes ago to tell me that he is going to be late. They've been held up due to something. As for your hair, Emma, please do the honours."

Em and Ashley were chortling away on the bed while I glared murderously at the door which was a barrier between me and my best friend. If not for the door, she would have been dead long ago. Soon enough, Rach did come out, to my relief. When we were done, we all trooped downstairs.

To our surprise, the boys were there already, with an addition of Nathan and Robert. They were ogling us with such intensity, we burst out laughing.

"You girls look positively hot today!" Robert was looking at us with wide eyes.

I looked around and had to admit, we were looking pretty good. Emma was wearing a midnight blue floor length gown with a a slit just above the knee on one side. It was simple with full tight sleeves and hugged her figure perfectly. She had paired it with midnight blue stilettos. Ashley was wearing a white knee length one piece which was tight at the top and flared out after the waist, which gave her tiny dainty figure a lot of grace. Rachel had gone for a white blouse which was bordered with golden sequins. She wore a beautiful black skirt underneath, which flowed down in waves. Dylan was looking at her, in complete admiration. He came close to her and kissed her, to our amusement. They were putting up quite a show until Nathan coughed, bringing them back to earth. They drew back, red faced.

I was wearing a maroon dress, which came down to my mid thigh. It was strapless with the neckline studded with black gems. I wore a maroon choker around my neck and had black wedges on my feet. Jon looked me up and down and gave a appreciative smile.

"Come on, we had better go before our parents wonder where in the world we are. Come on Kay, grab your coat. Dylan, stop imagining the things you want to do with your girlfriend and grab your coat. We gotta get a move."

All of us howled in laughter at Dylan's face. Rachel seemed horror struck at first, but then joined in the fun.

"Very funny Jon. Wait till I get started. You will be sorry you ever met me."

We all oohed as Rachel and Ash pushed Dylan out of the door. It was chilly and I could feel warmth radiating of Jonathan's skin. It gave me a sense of comfort.
