Chapter 8 part 1: Prom Cont....

    Ms.Lynch and someother teacher helped Jenae up, while she cried (embarrasing her self even more). Apparently she didnt know that she tripped over my foot, because she's the type of broad that would snitch on a bitch in a second. We all proceeded, dancing the night away. I saw Otis, my dad   letting loose, he was having too much fun, everybody roared in laughter ,when he grabbed Ms.Huphers hand and danced with her to "Fine China" by Chris brown. Yes Ms. Hupher was Asian, but she had married an american man. Trust me she wasnt fine either, and on top of that she was stiff as hell, making that song and teacher an Oxy-moron. Otis was quite a character, the total opposite of my mom. More like who'd I would be like , If I didn't hide behind my weight. 

The night slowed down and everybody had fun, seeing my dad crash the prom. But it was the time I dreaded the most, the slow-dance."Excuse me for a minute Natalie" my dad said dissapearing into the night. I looked around" Everyone had their dates, slow dancing to the old-school jams. "Play another slow Jam" remake, by Usher and Monica was on. I felt my eyes tear up, because reality set in...this was supposed to be the best night in my life, and I had no one special to spend it with,like who I thought Desmond was. The song was cut short due to a request to the DJ. "Alright yall, we got a special request by someone named Otis who wants a dance with his daughter Natalie yall, they just reconnected after 18 years,give it up for them" he said over the loud speaker. No my dad did not just put me on the spot like that.  He signaled me to walk up on the  stage , while the beaming spot light was on him. I couldnt back down, because all eyes were on me and my red dress. 

I grabbed the bottom of my dress and walked up the stairs. Everyone clapped , and the music went on. "Dance with my father" by luther vandross came on. He grabbed my hand and waltzed with me on the stage. It was really emotional and beautiful.  He then told Natalia to come up and share the dance with us. We both were emotional, so happy to have found a long-lost family member. Even though me and Natalia, didnt share mothers like we thought we did, our love actually grew stronger for each step we took on the dancefloor. My dad held me, " Always remeber, you're a big, beautiful angel" he said, causing me to break down like a baby in front of the whole prom. When the dance was over everyone clapped. That night was the night of what dreams were made of. Well>>>>>>>

Untill prom king/Queen was announced.

Stay tuned.
