Kaylor Family One-Shots

High School Dance (Part Two)

Taylor's P.O.V

"Stop fussing Taylor, you look beautiful. That dress is amazing and Karlie is going to be so proud to be your date. So just leave it alone, don't crease it." My mom states as I get ready for our senior dance. "I'm nervous," I state as mom laughs and goes over to the fridge to remove the corsage that we had gotten for tonight, Karlie had told me that she got her own and didn't want me to get her one, I told her I would do the same. "I don't know why your nervous Tay, you and Karlie have been friends for a long time and dating for a month. Don't you think that's solid enough?" I shrug,
"We've been friends for a year, that's not long. I know it is for high school but we've only been together for a month, is that really long enough?" I question as mom nods.
"Of course that's long enough, you're old enough and mature enough to decide for yourselves. But today is probably the longest time that you've spent apart when you're not asleep at night so if you're asking me for my opinion its yes. Yes, you're solid enough and if you keep questioning me I'll whack you one. So please just sit and relax.

I sit back and chill out, I send a quick snap chat to Jaime and Cara who are getting ready with Karlie and they snap back their own dresses and say that Karlie is wired like nothing else. Austin comes and hangs out with me until Karlie arrives and we chat about things and that's when he says, "I think you're really brave for being in a same sex relationship. I know that it's 2017 but I think that you're so brave and I just wanted to tell you that. So there, I've said it now..." I smile and reach over and slap his thigh as hard as I can, something to defuse the tension in the room. We hang out and watch re-runs of CSI until the clock strikes 7.29pm and the doorbell rings. Mom bustles in with the camera while dad gets the door. He welcomes Karlie into the house, and she stands in the foyer of the house. I stand up and swat off any non-existent lint before moving into the foyer and eying up my hot date for the night.

I eye Karlie in her purple halter neck dress and laugh when I look at her feet, her traditional converse are on her feet and she follows my gaze and looks down. "Don't worry the heels are in the back." I nod and with a quick wave we are out the door and on our way to the curb of the street where Karlie's black Chevy pickup is sitting, it looks amazing and as she helps me in I notice that it's pristine in cleanliness and that's a shock, she usually always has sports equipment in the car. "This is a nice change babe..." I say as we head over to the high school dance. "Anything for you baby girl, I love you." I look over at her and say,
"I love you too Karlie." We pull up to the dance and park and with a giggle and a kiss on the lips we rush towards the dance doors and walk in. Acknowledging the squad in the corner Karlie skips them and drags us straight to the dance floor.

Wrapped up in Karlie's arms our favourite song playing gently in the background. Amazed by Lonestar, as we dance and Karlie pulls us closer and closer I find myself looking up at Karlie and her beautiful green eyes. She dances so gracefully and it feels like we are flying when the song ends. I pout and Karlie leans down and pecks my lips. We've been doing this a lot since we started dating, small pecks to show affection but nothing more like a make out. It will happen when it happens. The next song starts and it's an EDM hit from Macklemore and that's when Karlie leans down and whispers, "lets' go to iHop." I nod and we gather our friends who want to stay so it's just Karlie and I who leave.

The trip to iHop we decide on the food that we want to order and deciding to get a little of everything so we can share sounds like a good idea. Karlie pulls up to the drive thru and I look at her, "what we're in prom dresses. Do you really want to go inside?" I nod and she sighs but reverses and parks up and after we hold hands I lead us into iHop and order the food and Karlie pays before I can even reach into my purse. We sit at a nearby table with our buzzer and the employees of iHop look at us funny and when they bring over our food they actually ask us if we'd like aprons instead of napkins. Not wanting us to ruin our beautiful gowns but we don't take them because like Karlie says, if the food manages to miss our mouths then we're not acceptable teenage eaters. We stay at iHop eating and enjoying each others company without saying anything else and then just before the clock ticks 12.00am Karlie drops me hope, walks me to the door and kisses my cheek. I watch as she hops back in her car and then drives away home. As she drives away I can't help but think about how much I love her.

End of Part Two.
