The dance (part 2)

Theo's pov

I woke up and headed downstairs to make my father breakfast, I cracked some eggs in a pan and then put some toast in the toaster. He walked into the kitchen holding a newspaper, "Well your up earlier." He told me as he sat down at our small table. "Couldn't sleep, I was too excited for tonight." I told him as I placed some scrambled eggs on his plate. I finished putting the food on his and my plate, and then I walked over to the table and placed the plate in front of him. "Thanks for making me breakfast Theo but why do I feel like your trying to bribe me. He told me as he smirked. "Ok fine, this is a bribe." I told him as I sat down across from him. "What do you want Theo?" My father asked me after he finished chewing. "All I want is for you to be extremely nice to Phillip tonight." I told him shyly. "Theo what made you think I wouldn't be nice to him." He asked me he looked sad that I even thought he would be mean to Philip. "It's just that you are sworn enemies with his father, and remember how you reacted when I told you me and Phillip wanted to be friends." I explained to him. "Theo my darling I'm sorry, I never should have reacted like that and I assure you that all only treat Phillip with kindness." My father told me taking a bite of his toast. "Really dad." I told him I was crying I didn't even know why. "Of coarse Theo, I see how your eyes light up when your around him." He told me. "Thank you dad, I love you." I said.

After breakfast I went upstairs and listened to some music well I drew in my sketchbook. Not a lot of people know I draw except for my mom and dad, it's not a thing I bring up in conversations. I was working on a drawing of me and Phillip, I didn't know when I would give it to him but it had to be a special day. After drawing for a little while longer I heard a buzz, I grabbed my phone and noticed a text from Phillip.

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 placed my phone down and went back to drawing, it was almost finished it just need a couple more details. I walked to the bathroom a couple minutes later and took a shower, the water was so nice and refreshing. I stepped out of the shower and grabbed my hairbrush, I stood there brushing through my curly hair. I grabbed my dress off the hook on the bathroom doors hook, and started to get changed. I looked in the mirror, the yellow dress looked even better then It did in the store. I smoothed my hair out and made sure it laid perfectly on my shoulders. I picked up my makeup palette and applied some makeup, not a lot but just enough to make my eyes pop and a little blush. I heard the door open as I finished getting ready, Phillip must be here. I quickly finished getting ready then walked out the door and stepped towards the stairs.

Phillip stood by the door next to my father, his eyes lit up when he saw me. "Theo you look so beautiful." Phillip told me as he stood there in shock and delight. "Thanks Phillip, you look very handsome." I replied as I walked down the stairs then kissed his cheek. "I got you something." Phillip told me as he reached in his pocket. "A pink corset, I love it Phillip." I told him as he placed it on my wrist. "You two look so pretty together I hope you have a great night." My father told us well he smiled, I was so glad he was happy and being nice. "Thanks dad, come on Phillip let's go." I said as I grabbed his hand and pulled him outside, we hopped in Phillips dad's car and drove to the school. The drive was pretty quiet but it wasn't long till we were outside the school, the lights shined through the gym doors and I could feel my excitement start to build up.

We walked inside the school holding hands, I felt like I was on top of the world. Me and Phillip went straight to the dance floor, I put my hands on his shoulders and he put his hands on my hips. The music made me feel free and happy, it was so upbeat and positive. We danced for a good half hour till I heard the song change to something with a slow beat, I stepped towards him and put my head on his shoulder just like they did in the movies. He pulled me closer to him and we danced to the songs slow rhythm, once the song ended I looked up at him and said "I love you." It was the first time I'd told him that even though I was madly in love with him. "I love you too." He told me, he was smiling brighter then the moonlight. Next thing I knew I was kissing him just like id dreamed but it was even more magical in real life. As I kissed him I thought about my future, that when I realized I want to spend the rest of my life with him. Once we finished kissing I stared right into his eyes and told him "God I love you." He seemed very amused by that, me and him went over to the punch stand. I poured him some punch and grabbed some for myself, we stood there drinking the grapefruit punch and talking about everything under the sun. We talked and drank the punch for a while then did some more dancing and just enjoying are selves. It was getting late and I could tell we were both tired so we decided to do one more dance then head home for the night. We walked together to the middle of the dance floor, I observed the colorful spot lights spinning around making colorful patches of light appear and disappear around the floor. I heard the song change to Party Time, a flashback of the day me and Phillip got our dance outfits popped in my head, I smiled even brighter then before as I remembered that day. "It's my favorite song Party Time." I reminded him, as he grabbed my hips. We swayed and danced to the music he seemed like he was having a good time, I realized after having my hands on his shoulders all night I noticed how strong they were. Guess that's what happens when you play football for 4 years in a row.

We drove home a couple minutes later, I was exhausted I felt like I could pass out right then and there. Once we parked in my driveway Phillip and me walked inside and layed down on my living rooms couch to rest. I laid my head in his lap, as he stroked my head I felt more and more sleepy.  "Phillip?" I asked him looking up at him. "Yes Theo." He replied. "This has been the best day of my life." I told him. "Aww Theo this has been the best day of my life too." Phillip told me, but i barely heard him I was already drifting off to sleep.
