His Dusk, Her Dawn (Completed)

Chapter 10

Mariah

I stood in the mirror looking myself over. Everything was perfect. My hair. Makeup. And of course the dress. But I was still missing a date.

I sighed and shook it off. No matter what I was still going to slay this prom tonight.

Luna came slugging passed the doorway.

She stopped and looked at me. Her pupils dilated. I knew she had gotten her daily motivator in.

"Wow you look really pretty cousin...did you ever find somebody to go with?"

I shook my head. "Nah. The guy I like said he was busy tonight."

She leaned against the door frame.

"Have I ever met him? Cause I'll beat his ass for turnin you down."

I chuckled at her threat. "Nah I don't think so. He's real reserved and shy. I don't know why though cause he's amazing. I just wish he knew it."

She furrowed her eyebrows "What's his name?"

"It's Lazarus. Lazarus Jones. You know him?"

Her eyebrows raised high while she shook her head. "Nope. Never heard of him. Well look I gotta get ready. I got a date tonight."

I turned smiling. "Well look at youuuu. Is it the same guy you been hanging with?"

She smiled off into the distance. "Yeah. It's him. I gotta go though. Have fun for me okay?"

With that she rolled off the doorway and down the hall. I grabbed the rest of my stuff and headed out the door.

To my surprise Lazarus was standing beside my car with a box in hand.

"Oh my god. When did you get here?!" I screamed in excitement.

His pretty white teeth flashed at me. "A little while ago. I had stuff to do not far from here and I wanted to see you off. You look....absolutely amazing."

I gave him a hug. "Awe you're so sweet. What's in the box?"

He looked down and smiled. "Wellll. Since I couldn't go with you I figured no one had a corsage for you. So I got you one."

He opened the box and there was a beautiful flower corsage inside. It matched my dress and accents.

I held my hand out as he clipped the bracelet around it.

"Laz this is so pretty. Thank you so much."

"It's no problem. I just felt like you deserved it. Please go have fun tonight okay?"

I gave him a hug and we walked around to the drivers side of my car.

I unlocked the door and he opened it for me. Before I got in I stopped in front of him. "Thanks again Laz. I really love it."

He grinned "You're Welcome."
I got in and got ready for my night on the town. Driving off I saw him walking down the street.

I wish he was mine.

Luna
I got a text message while finishing up my getting ready process.

Lazz: Hey I'm here and I got the stuff. Where are you?

Luna: omw jeez. Perfection takes time

Lazz: you're always perfect

His text made me smile. These past few weeks with him had been great. I was really feelin the kid. Tonight he would know for sure.
