Days has passed and our Prom night has come. The most awaited night for me. As planned, Henry is my date for tonight. Somewhat I feel something weird is going to happen tonight or maybe I'm just paranoid because this is my first Prom ever and Henry is my date. I hope everything will be alright later.
"Okay sweetie, open your eyes!" Said by the make up artist hired by my mom.
I stared at the mirror for a while. I am amaze. I am in shock. I never thought this is my face when I wear too much makeup. I can't help to compliment myself. I did not even recognized my face Haha.
"Now, it is time for the main preparation, The gown! Charaaaan!" She showed me my gown. I was surprised. I didn't even know what gown I am wearing. Mom really prepared so much for 'most-awaited-night-for-me-and-henry'
The gown looked like this.
I wear the gown and surprisingly it perfectly fits. I stared at the mirror again. I look stunning. I really don't know if this is really me. Haha.
"Wow, Selene! My daughter is that you?" see? Even my mom didn't even recognize me at first. I smiled as a response.
"You're beautiful. You are now a young woman. I can't believe you grew so fast." Mom said. And oh! She's crying! I hugged her.
"Mom, don't cry. I'm still your baby girl. Thank you Ma, thank you for this and for everything."
"You're always welcome, honey. It's my duty to fulfill. I love you." Mom hugged me again.
"Awwe, Mom. Such a drama queen. I love you too. Don't make me cry. You are ruining my makeup." I kidded. Mom just laughed at me.
"Oh, by the way, Henry is already at downstairs. Hurry." I almost forgot Henry Haha.
As I'm walking downstairs, I saw Henry staring at me. Maybe he didn't recognize my face, or I look ridiculous. He lift his hands to reach for me. Awwe, such a gentleman Haha. He smiled at me and I smiled back. His smile grew wider and said,
"You look gorgeous." I can feel I'm blushing so hard. It is rare to Henry to compliment me.
Mom gave us a big smile. I almost forgot that she shipped us so much.
"Let me take you guys a picture come on." mom of course need a souvenir. She looked like our fansclub president Haha. "1...2...3...*shutter sound*" Mom smiled like crazy. I heard Henry chuckle. I look at him and suddenly it feels like everything is in a slow motion. I realize he look so handsome.
"Hey Selene, stop drooling." words of Henry makes my mind go back to reality.
"Heh! As if I am." I denied.
"Tita, we're going now." Henry and I bid goodbye to mom.
"Henry, please take care of my daughter." I'm blushing because of what mom said to Henry.
