The Chosen One

“Ouch! Stop poking me in the eye!” I complained. I was currently sitting at my vanity mirror as Lizzy did my make-up, which felt more like torture.

“I wouldn’t poke you in the eye if you’d stop moving!” She groaned in frustration. She came over two hours ago, I thought that was still too early to get ready, but she didn’t. I caught Jake giving me a smug smirk when I let her in.

“I’d stop moving if you’d stop poking me!” I argued back.

“Is that all you two do is fight?” Amanda asked from my bathroom. I also invited her cause I knew they were having prom at their school and I thought she’d enjoy some girl time. Plus we’ve gotten closer since I started dating Dylan, whenever I went over to his house we’d all watch a movie together or play games.

“We’re not fighting.” I protested.

“Ugh there, finally done!” Lizzy exclaimed. I shot up from the chair before she could change her mind.

“The torture is finally over!” I fell to my knees lifting my arms up to the sky.

Amanda laughed. “I swear you’re perfect for my brother, both super dramatic.” I grinned at her as I stood up.

“Speaking of your brother being dramatic... do you know how he asked me to prom?” I asked her. She shook her head no and I told her the story. Her eyes were wide before she started laughing.

“That seems like something he would do.” She chuckled.

“You also didn’t get to witness the very disturbing reply that Ashley gave him.” Lizzy said smirking, I glared at her.

“No reason to dwell on the pass.” I made a shooing motion with my hands.

“Right, I need to curl your hair now.” Amanda walked towards me with the curling iron.

Two burns and 30 cuss words later she was finally done. I got up going to check out the final product in my bathroom mirror. It was big enough to show my body but stopped at the ankles. I looked way better than I thought I would. My make-up was done to perfection, and my hair looked as if a professional had done it. “I love you guys so much!” I said to them, still staring at my reflection.

“We know you do.” Lizzy replied. I rolled my eyes. I walked out the bathroom to see they were also ready.

Lizzy was wearing a black sparkly floor length dress that made her blonde hair stand out even more. It was flat ironed and stopped at her chest. Amanda’s outfit was the complete opposite. She was wearing a tight blue dress that stopped at her knees, with an open back and a front that tied around her neck.

“You guys look hot!” I told them. They grinned at me. I opened my mouth to say something else when I heard the doorbell ring. “Oh my god he’s here, I need to get down there before Jake opens the door.” I told them walking to my bedroom door.

“No! You have to make an entrance. Let him open the door so Dylan can wait to see you.” Amanda stopped me, blocking my exit. Make an entrance? And she calls me the dramatic one. I waited as I heard Jake open the door and invite Dylan in.

“Do I go now?” I asked. She grinned at me.

“Yes, let’s go.” I grinned pulling the door open and heading to the steps.

Lust. The first thing I felt when I saw Dylan. He stood at the end of the steps by the door talking to Jake. He hadn’t notice us yet, so I had enough time to check him out. I can now see why he picked the color red, he looked sexy in it. All I could think about was jumping his bones.

“Dylan’s going to be having that same reaction in a minute.” Amanda whispered in my ear giggling. I glared at her as my cheeks heated up. We started descending down the stairs and that’s when Dylan finally looked up. I sucked in a breath as our eyes locked. His matched mine perfectly from earlier and I couldn’t help but smirk slightly. Who knew Amanda would be right?

He held eye contact with me the whole way down. When I reached the bottom he wrapped an arm around my waist, pulling me to him. I felt the tingles spread everywhere he touched.

“You look very...edible.” He told me breathless, looking me up and down from head to toe. I swear I could physically feel everywhere his eyes touched.

“You don’t look too bad yourself.” I told him.

“I always look good, though this is the first time you’ve dressed up to hang out with me.” He smirked. I couldn’t disagree, usually when he came over or I went to his house I’d wear sweatpants knowing he wouldn’t care. What? He’s already my boyfriend might as well dress comfortable.

I grinned up at him. “There’s a first time for everything.” I winked. His eyes darkened.

“Will you two love birds hurry up?” Lizzy demanded.

“Lizzy! They were having a moment!” Amanda complained. I rolled my eyes at them. Dylan grabbed my arm pulling it to him, sliding a white corsage onto my wrist.

“Where did that come from?” I asked him.

He smirked at me. “I have my secrets.” He grabbed my hand pulling me out the front door. I squealed in delight when I saw the limo out front. I didn’t know he was renting a limo!

“Oh my gosh! I’ve never rode in one before!” I told him. I turned throwing my arms around him in a hug before sprinting towards the limo, not caring that I was wearing heels or a dress. I could hear Dylan laughing behind me. I slide into the limo gaping at the inside. There was a mini bar on the left with a bottle of whisky on it. The seats were soft, I felt like I could sit on them forever.

I frowned in confusion when Lizzy, Jake, and Amanda all slide in seconds later.

“They’ve decided they want to ride in the limo as well, and that we’d be picking up their dates.” Dylan told me, sitting next to me. I rolled my eyes, of course they did.
