"are you excited for prom?" ethan asked, sitting beside me with two ice cream cones in his hand. "yeah i am" i grinned and licked my ice cream. "excited to go with me?" he nudged my shoulder. "of course! who wouldn't want to go to prom with their best friend?" i giggled. ethan chuckled and we sat in silence, eating our ice cream.
"i have to admit something" ethan said as he finished his ice cream. "ok, whats up?" i asked.
"i cant dance"
"well, i mean, i can. but i cant waltz or anything like that, and i'm not exactly good" he explained. i laughed and finished my ice cream.
"alright, come on" i wiped my hands with a napkin and stood up, holding out my hand for him to take. he grabbed it and stood up. i led him towards a bit of empty space in a park and took out my phone.
"dont laugh" i put on can i have this dance from high school musical 3. i can tell he is trying to hold back his giggle.
"take my hand, take a breath, pull me close and take one step. keep your eyes locked on mine, and let the music be your guide" i sang and he laughed as i guided the dance. "see? you got it" i grinned.
"take my hand, i'll take the lead, and every turn will be safe with me. don't be afraid, afraid to fall, you know i'll catch you through it all" ethan began to sing. "you ready for this?" he asked. "ready for wha-" i asked but then he dipped me. i let out a little squeal as he brought me back up.
"didn't know you could do that" he chuckled as we continued to move to the song. "i said i couldn't dance. i can still dip you" he smiles. he twirled me and i smiled. i lost my balance but ethan caught me.
"didn't the song say don't be afraid to fall?" he winked, steading me. as the song ended, ethan did a small dip again. i giggled as i went down.
ethan wasn't breathing heavily, but not normally. our eyes connected as he lifted me up slowly, not breaking eye contact. he placed a hand on my cheek and caressed my jaw.
i glanced at his soft lips, then back to his eyes. ethan closed his eyes and began to lean. i did the same. a moment later, we were kissing. his lips were soft but powerful as they moved against mine. when the two of us pulled apart, he looked at me differently.
"are you sure you're excited to go to prom with your best friend?" he asked. i felt a little hurt when he said that, especially since i wanted to be more. "because you could go with your boyfriend instead" he grinned.
"thats interesting. who would this boyfriend be?" i asked, stepping closer to ethan.
"isn't it obvious? its me" he chuckled. i smiled and kissed him again.
"come on, i need to teach my boyfriend how to dance" i winked and grabbed his hand.
