Wait No More

Part Twenty

Olivia was thrilled as she slipped into her beautiful emerald green prom dress. It flowed elegantly around her, and she felt like a princess. Tonight was the Job Corps prom, and she was excited to celebrate with her boyfriend, Ethan.

As she finished getting ready, Olivia thought about how much this night meant to them. They had worked hard in their programs, and this prom was a chance to let loose and enjoy themselves.

When she arrived at the venue, the decorations sparkled under the lights, and the atmosphere was filled with laughter and music. Spotting Ethan across the room, she felt her heart skip a beat. He looked sharp in his black suit, and she couldn't wait to dance the night away with him.

"Hey, you look incredible!" Ethan exclaimed as she approached him, his eyes wide with admiration.

"Thanks! You look pretty amazing yourself!" Olivia replied, her cheeks flushing with happiness.

They spent the night dancing, chatting with friends, and capturing memories with photos. Each moment felt special, and Olivia cherished the way Ethan made her feel—like she was the only girl in the room.

As the night progressed, they found a quiet corner to catch their breath. "I'm really glad we came together," Ethan said, looking into her eyes. "This is one of the best nights of my life."

"Me too," Olivia said, her heart swelling with joy. "I wouldn't want to be here with anyone else

As the music shifted to a slow, romantic ballad, the atmosphere in the venue softened. Olivia and Ethan exchanged glances, and without a word, he took her hand and led her to the dance floor. The lights dimmed slightly, casting a warm glow over the couple as they found a spot among their peers.

Ethan wrapped his arms around Olivia's waist, pulling her close. She felt the warmth of his body against hers, and a flutter of excitement danced in her stomach. Olivia placed her hands on his shoulders, looking up into his eyes. In that moment, the noise of the prom faded away, and it felt like they were the only two people in the room.

As they swayed gently to the music, Ethan brushed a strand of hair behind Olivia's ear, his touch sending a shiver down her spine. "You look so beautiful tonight," he whispered, his voice low and sincere.

"Thank you," she replied, her heart racing. "I feel really happy to be here with you."

Their eyes locked, and Olivia could see the genuine affection in Ethan's gaze. He leaned in closer, and she could feel his breath on her cheek. It was an intimate moment, filled with unspoken words and feelings that had been growing between them.

As they danced, Ethan held her tighter, and Olivia leaned her head against his chest, listening to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat. It was a perfect blend of excitement and comfort, and for a moment, all her worries melted away. She felt safe and cherished in his arms.

"I never want this night to end," Ethan murmured, tilting her chin up so she could meet his gaze.

"Me neither," Olivia replied softly, her heart swelling with emotion. She could feel the magic of the moment, a connection that went beyond the dance floor.

As the song drew to a close, Ethan leaned in, brushing his lips against her forehead, sealing the moment with a tender kiss. Olivia closed her eyes, savoring the warmth of their connection. She knew that this night would be a cherished memory, a beautiful chapter in their story together.

As the prom began to wind down, Olivia and Ethan spotted their friends Jessica and Jeff across the dance floor, laughing and enjoying the night. The atmosphere was buzzing with excitement, but Olivia felt a spark of adventure igniting within her.
