The Way He Loved Me

Part 13

************Tyler's POV*****

When I turned fourteen, my dad and I went on a camping trip. I remember taking the trip just so that he could talk to me about girls and my future. During that weekend, he taught me all about respecting women, and he made me promise that I would be pure until marriage.

It was during his funeral that I remembered making that promise to my dad, and I intended to treat Allie the old fashioned way. We had kissed on top of the Eiffel Tower, and even though that wasn't "being pure" in some people's eyes, I had waited 11 years to kiss her, and I couldn't wait any more.

Since her Dad had left Allie and her mom when Allie was only three, I couldn't ask her dad if I could court her, and her mom was completely out of the picture, so I decided to just go ahead and ask Allie instead.

When I awkwardly asked her if I could court her, I was really happy when her face said "Yes" before her mouth did.

The first place I decided to take her when were were courting was a huge birthday party that one of my friends was throwing, and I couldn't wait for Friday night. I thought about telling her where we were going, but I decided to keep it a secret.

**************

It was Friday, and my friend's party was finally here. It was a really big dance, and I couldn't wait to see Allie in the dress that I had bought her just for this occasion. When I knocked on her door and went into her room, I saw her in the dress and she took my breath away.

*************Allie's POV****

I was wearing the dress that Tyler bought me. It was a pink sparkly dress, and it was gorgeous. My dress was floor length, and when I looked in the mirror, I couldn't believe the person staring back was me. I had silver high heels that were covered in sparkles, and a dimond necklace that was my grandmother's. I put on some make-up that I bought at the store, and my eyes were a really pretty caramel brown.

"A-a-are you r-ready to go out?" I saw him standing in the doorway through my mirror.

"Since when have you been a nervous person?" I couldn't help but laugh at him. "I think I should be the nervous one, and yes.. I'm ready."

"I'm not usually the nervous one," He was laughing, and I could tell that he loosened up a little. "Shall we?" He held out his arm for mine and made a funny face just to make me laugh.

We got in the car, and after a while ended up at someone's house. I didn't know where we were going to because he had kept it a secret. When we finally pulled up to the huge mansion, I was really exited to go on our first date ever. Tyler pulled up to the front door, and a man in a suit opened my door and let me out. He took the keys from Tyler, and shortly after a quick but meaningful kiss, we walked up the red carpet and stopped at the front door.

"Would you like a picture?" An english lady in a blue dress with a camera was standing to the right of the entrance.

Tyler gave me a questioning look, and I nodded yes.

"Just stand like this.." She moved us backwards a little, and wrapped Tyler's arm around my waist. I blushed a little, and she snapped the picture. "Pick up your picture before you leave. It will be available at the picture desk. It's in the back of the room, you can't miss it."

"Thanks, We'll be sure to grab it." Tyler was a little uncomfortable.. I could tell. "Should we go in?" He had read my mind.

"That's usually what happens when you go on dates... unless you are some ho bag.." I couldn't help but tease him. He wasn't usually so... nervous.

He laughed and slid his fingers between mine. He softly kissed my cheek. "I'm sorry I'm so nervous.."

I giggled and bushed again. "It's fine. Just don't be so scared."

*******************************

As I walked through the front door, I could see a huge ballroom filled with people. Almost everyone turned their heads and looked at me as I made my way down the steps.

"Where are we?" I felt a little like a bunny being caught in the headlight of an oncoming car.
