The dance (part 1)

Phillips pov

    I woke up to the sun shining through my window, I hopped out of bed it was finally here the day of the dance. I raced down the stairs in delight, and ran straight into my mom. "Slow down Phillip." She told me. "Sorry mom I'm just so excited today's the day." I told her as my heart pounded in my chest. "I can tell, now sit down and eat your breakfast." She told me as she placed a piece of French toast on a plate and handed it to me.  "Ok." I replied as I sat down at the table. After I finished eating breakfast I played with my brothers for a while, they seemed delighted to be playing with there older brother. I walked upstairs and picked up my phone and texted Theo,

Phillip: When should a pick you up?

Theo: the dance starts at 7 so how about we meet up at 6:30.

Phillip: that sounds like a plan.

I put my phone down and checked my clock, it was only 1 pm so there was no need to start getting ready now so I went back downstairs and spent some quality time with my sister's. My little sister ran up to me and said, "Phillip come paint with us." She grabbed my arm and dragged me into the kitchen. Angie stood there helping all my little siblings pour paint into palettes. "Phillip come help." Angie told me. "Ok coming." I told her as I helped John get the cap off the light blue paint. We sat there painting, I was never good at painting I was better a poetry but Angie was a amazing painter. I looked over Angie's canvas she painted a beautiful pink rose, for being made with paint it had incredible depth and dimension. I looked back at my canvas, my light blue vase with a couple of dafioldills  in it looked so lame compared to her rose. "Nice picture Phillip the yellow flowers are so pretty." My little sister told me I looked over at her canvas and realized she had been copying me, her canvas had a blue blob on it and a bunch of yellow spots shooting out of it. "Yours is so pretty too." I told her, she squealed with delight she was so happy. After we finished painting the kids ran off to play and me and Angie cleaned up, once we were done I walked upstairs holding two paintings my little sister had given me hers. I walked over to my bulletin board and pinned both the paintings up right next to each other.

I started to get ready I grabbed my suit from my closet, and a white under shirt, and I pair of light blue socks. I walked to the bathroom and slowly started getting changed, first I put on my shirt and then my suit. I saved my socks for last I'd always done that ever since I was a child, socks were always last. I brushed my hair and teeth, I went downstairs into my father's office. "Well don't you look handsome." My father told me. "Thanks dad, by the way do you have a tie I could borrow?" I asked him. "Sure you can son, here." He told me as he grabbed a tie from a drawn and handed a black tie to me. "Thanks dad." I said as I ran back upstairs, I grabbed a little pink rose corset from the top of my dresser. I finished tieing my tie and then walked down the stairs, my mother stood at the bottom of the stairs my father by her side. "My little boys all grown up." My mom told me she was crying. "Aww mom don't cry all still be your little boy." I told her as I wrapped my arms around her. "Looks like are boys turning into a big man, I always said you would blow us all away." My father told me as he adjusted my tie. "Now go get Theo and make this the best day of her life." My mother told me as she opened the door for me.

I arrived at Theo's house and knocked on the door her father opened the door, "Phillip come in, well don't you look amazing." He told me as I stepped inside. "Thank you Mr. Burr, is Theo almost ready." I asked him. "Yes, she should be down in a minute." He told me as he looked up at the top of the curved dark oak stairs. I minute later Theo walked down the stairs she looked stunning, "Theo you look so beautiful." I told her in utter shock, I never knew a person could be so pretty. "Thanks Phillip, you look very handsome." She replied as she kissed my cheek. "I got you something." I told her as I grabbed the corset from my pocket. "A pink corset, I love it Phillip." She said as I handed her the corset and helped her secure it to her wrist. "You two look so pretty together I hope you have a great night." Her father told us, his smile was huge. "Thanks dad, come on Phillip let's go." Theo told me as she dragged me out the door. We hopped in her dad's car and drove towards the school, once we arrived at the school we headed inside hand in hand. The music was loud and everyone looked to be having so much fun, Theo looked at me smiling brighter then the stars.

We walked to the dance floor and she grabbed my shoulders, I grabbed her hips and we swayed to the music. After a couple minutes of dancing to up beat songs, the song changed to a slow love song. Theo pulled me closer to her I let her rest her head on my shoulder, I swayed to the music with her. I hadn't realized till this moment how in love with her I was, that's when I realized I wanted to marry her so we could spent the rest of our lives together. Theo lifted her head of my shoulder, her eyes sparkled as the colorful lights reflected off of them. "I love you." She told me her voice was sweet like honey. "I love you too." I told her. She grabbed my head and kissed me and I grabbed her waist, we just stood there her lips on mine for a good minute. It was the best minute of my life, I couldn't believe that just a month ago we were just friends but now she was the love of my life. After we finished kissing she looked straight into my eyes, she was still holding my chin. "God I love you." Theo said as she grabbed my hand and brought me over to the drink stand. She poured me a cup of punch, and we stood there laughing and drinking punch. After hours of talking and dancing we decided to do one more dance then head home. We walked out onto the dance floor and that's when we heard the song start playing, Theo looked at me and said "It's my favorite song Party Time." I grabbed her hand and we just let lose of any cares or worries, when I was with Theo it was like the world stopped it was just her and me. I wanted it to be like that forever, us in love for the rest of time. Once the song ended we walked back to her dad's car and I drove back to her house.

We walked inside and took a moment to rest on her couch, her head rested on my lap. I stroked her head, my hand brushing her hair it was smooth like velvet. "Phillip." She said. "Yes Theo." I told her. "This has been the best day of my life." She said very softly, her voice was comforting. "Aww Theo this has been the best day of my life too." I replied. "Theo?"I asked after a minute of silence. I looked down and realized Theo had fallen asleep, I sat there watching her peacefully sleep. Next thing I knew a wave of tiredness flowed over me, I felt my self drift off to sleep.
