Chapter Thirty-Two - Prom

12th November

KARA

Why did I agree to this?

I'm pretty sure my butt has melted into the chair and became one from sitting in it for two hours.

Carla begged me to let her do my hair and makeup, the 'yes' barely leaving my vocal cord and she was already running along the hallway screaming.

She was almost done with me and I was so relieved. The event was starting in 30 minutes and it takes 10 to get there. After she finally declared that I was free to go, I ran to the bathroom to change. When I came out, I took a serious look in the mirror.

Wow, she outdid herself, I have to give her props for it.

I had a shimmery eyeshadow and a small winged eye line. Brown waterproof mascara coated my long lashes to make them appear thicker and more prominent. Blush was added to my pale face to give it some life and color. My lips were stained with smudge proof light pink lipstick.

For my hair, Carla curled in a slight wave, but my side fringe is staying the way it's supposed to be. She parted a section of hair on either sides and braided them together at the center. She placed two sections of hair on either side of my face and let the rest flow down my back.

I paired everything with my feather earring, moon necklace, a blue solid bracelet with a pearl in the middle, and light blue heels with a strap around my ankle.

Honestly, I think I look nice. Simple, yet elegant.

"Now, come on! Connor's waiting downstairs!" she said while linking my arm with hers. We walked down the stairs and I saw him standing by the doorway, waiting for me. He must've smelled me as his eyes snapped to me the moment I reached the bottom of the staircase.

Carla wished me luck before trotting off to Grey. Connor's eyes were wide and his mouth opened and closed, like he couldn't find the words. But he didn't need it. He just walked to me and pulled me into a kiss. We heard 'aw' around the room and pulled apart, resting our foreheads together.

"You're so beautiful."

He was wearing a black suit with a light blue tie to match my dress. Of course he would know what color I was going for. His hair was styled neatly but a few strands were dangling above his left eyebrow like usual.

"You don't look too bad yourself."

He kissed my forehead and I heard Elisa and Carla squeal, "You both are so adorable!"

He wrapped an arm around my waist as they took photos of us. I smelled Jake walking down the steps and stopped halfway when he saw me.

"Kitten, I thought you couldn't get any more gorgeous until now," he said while walking towards me. He looked at me up and down, mouth agape. I giggled and pushed it close, "You're gonna catch flies with your mouth open like that."

I felt Connor tighten his grip around my waist and I placed a hand on his arm to reassure him.

"Well, we better get going if we don't want to be late," he said, gently tugging me towards the door. I followed and we exited the house.

"Have fun, you two!" Elisa shouted and we laughed a little before waving. We went to the garage and towards his black Pagani Huayra because he wanted to go in style. He opened the upwards door for me and I got in. He went to the driver's side and got in too. He started up the car, revving the engine and I rolled my eyes, "Just go already."

He smirked before driving out of the garage and towards the border. After passing the border, he drove through the streets towards our destination.

The entire drive he had one hand on the steering wheel and one holding my hand that was resting on my lap. We sat in comfortable silence with the music player softly playing in the background.

We arrived and he parked the car at the side of the building. He got out first and went to my side to open the door for me. He held his hand out, "Milady." I smiled before taking his hand and getting out of the car.

We noticed graduates in awe of the car. He wrapped an arm around my waist and led me through the doors and into the sea of students.

Let's get some drinks first, yeah? – Connor

Okay. – Kara

We walked to the snacks table and it wasn't crowded. Connor took a cup filled with punch while I just took a soda. He came over and kissed me on the forehead, "Not drinking?"

"I don't like punch. It tastes disgusting."

He raised an eyebrow and hummed. We continued talking when I sensed someone standing behind. Connor let out a quiet growl before pulling me closer to him. I turned around and saw Kyle with -I think- Tiffany beside.

"Kara, you look beautiful tonight," he complimented with a smile, earning myself a glare from the girl beside him.

"You're not bad yourself."

Connor's grip on my waist was getting tighter every passing second.

Dude, stop. You'll squeeze me to death if you continue. – Kara

Only then he noticed that he was actually holding pretty tightly, he released his grip but his hand stayed put on my waist.

"Kara, amore, let's go for a dance, shall we?" He asked innocently. I internally rolled my eyes and nodded. I waved at Kyle and Tiffany, "See you guys later."

I caught a glimpse of Kyle's sad facial expression right before Connor tugged me in the direction of the dance floor.

Darling, I'm in heels. – Kara

Oh, sorry. – Connor

He slowed down and let me catch up before stopping at the dance floor. He placed his hands on my waist while I wrapped my arms around his neck. We started slow dancing to the music with our foreheads resting against each other.

"This height difference is really something, huh?" he said while kissing the tip of my nose. I smiled, "No one told you to be six foot two."

"No one told you to be five foot one."

We laughed.
