Okay...Now What

Chapter Thirteen - Perfect for a moment - Part two

After I was gone hugging James he took my hand and walked me to the house. He gave me a quick kiss on the cheek and I went inside. Aunt Beth was baking, "What are you going to wear?" That's what I was thinking, I shrugged.

Aunt Beth's eyes lit up and she stopped everything she was doing. She grabbed my wrist and let me to a long hallway. We came to an old wood door. When she opened the door there was an old bed and a lot of old pictures , and a dresser by the bed.

Aunt Beth dug threw the dresser for a while. Then pulled out a white box with a red bow.

she handed it to me. "This was supposed to be your mothers dress for her eighteen birthday." Aunt Beth said with a sigh. "Why did she never open it?" I asked and Aunt Beth replied, "When I went to her room to give it to her, she was gone. She left a note that said she was pregnant and ran off with her baby daddy." She was starting to tear up.

I opened the box and saw the dress was pink. It was fluffy at the bottom and strapless with a belt. I hugged Aunt Beth. What surprised me was she hugged me back.

"since I wasn't able to give it to your mom I thought I should give it to you."

Me and Aunt Beth talked about my mom for a while then she looked at her watch, "You better go get ready! James will be waiting." She said I blushed, "how did you-?" I started but she put her hand up.

"I might be old but im not stupid." She smiled.

I rushed to my room and put on the dress and brushed my hair. I met Aunt Beth and James down stares. Aunt Beth started tearing up. "You look so much like your mother" She said dapping her eyes.

Thanks.

When Aunt Beth left. It was just me and James. He looked me up and down. "Wow." is all he said then opened the door.

Me and James headed to his old beat up truck. We drove in silence. The music was so loud you could hear it from outside. James and I walked threw the dance and found our self a spot and started dancing all fast. I looked over and saw Cassie just staring.

Then there was a slow dance and me and James danced to that.

"K?" he said and I looked up. "I've liked you since I heard you sing to all the songs. I also liked you when you threw up on the side of the rode and fell over. But now I've realized that when you came into the barn in the middle of the night and you slipped on the stares that I love you." He smiled.

I felt butterflies in my stomach, I felt my face turn bright red.

" You uh you love me? Are you sure?" I asked. He nodded and kissed me. I kissed him back. It was perfect for a moment then I looked across the room.
