Chapter 69: Chapter 69
Lily had her hair over her shoulder as she was putting on some earrings, I stared at the bare skin her backless dress offered. She seemed to notice my notice my presence and turned around and I couldn’t do anything but stare. Her simple white dress made her look like an angel, flowing perfectly along her figure. Her black hair framing her face, she had a bit of make up on that just made her amazing blue eyes brighter and her red lips looked edible.
Lily blushed as she noticed me gazing at her. "So?" she said hesitantly and I couldn’t find words to form a single sentence.
"You..You look" I let out a breath, absolutely stumped. Lily groaned and threw her hands to her sides in defeat.
"It’s too much isn’t it? I told Ren it was but she had to-" She started to turn around but I grabbed her arm and turned her around till she was pressed against my body, her blue eyes staring into mine filled with uncertainty, I smiled and placed my hand on her cheek and she absentmindedly leaned into it.
"You look absolutely breathtaking Lily" I said "Left me speechless for a second there" She blushed and I pulled away before I forgot something. "I got you something."
She raised an eyebrow as I pulled out the box I had in my jacket and opened it, revealing the vintage necklace I bought her.
"I knew you liked vintage so I got you this. If you don’t like it I could get you something else, diamonds or something-"
"Ethan" She interrupted me smiling "I love it" I smiled and motioned for her to turn around. She did and moved her hair to the side. I gulped and put the necklace on her. My fingers brushed her skin as I put it and she shivered. I cleared my throat and moved back.
She turned back to me and looked at the necklace "A locket" she noticed "it has a keyhole"
I nodded and took the key from my pocket and showed it to her "You’ll get to open it when I’m sure you’re ready"
"Ready for what exactly?" she asked with a raised eyebrow and I smirked
"You’ll find out later" I said putting the key back in my pocket "Now let’s go they’re waiting for us"
Lily’s P.O.V.
We walked downstairs and I smiled when I saw the boys who’s eyes widened.
"Is that Lily?" Dave said smirking
"I think it is" Jim answered "Oh my god Dave" he turned to his brother and wiped a fake tear "Our lux is growing up"
I rolled my eyes and felt Ethan grab my waist "My Lily" he said and I rolled my eyes
"come on guys let’s go" I said and we walked outside and got into the limo. We picked up the other girls and headed to the formal
"wow" I breathed as we walked in "How the hell could they transform this smelly place to...this" I looked around and smiled at how beautiful the place was. White streamers and balloons covered the place, the table covers were also white, giving the perfect vibe of ’winter fairytale’
"Pictures" Ethan whispered in my ear and I saw the photographer taking pictures of al the couples going in and I smiled as Ethan draped his arm on my shoulder and the picture was taken.
"You know I’m still curious about what’s in this" I said playing with the necklace "I’ve never been patient"
Ethan smirked "Sorry but like I said, not until I’m sure your ready"
I rolled my eyes as we sat on a table and immediately everyone started talking and laughing. Ren was leaning on jason and Adrian just chatted with the twins and their dates as they joked around.
The night was amazing we danced and laughed and just when I sat down the DJ said a slow song was coming up the first time that night and Ethan immediately offered me his hand "Dance with me"
"I-I’m tired Ethan let’s sit this song out" I said but he was having non if it as he made me stand up and led me to the dance floor "Ethan" I scolded
"It’s just a slow dance Lily I won’t bite" he said and I blushed and looked down. We definitely looked weird, standing in the middle of the dance floor apart.
"I know it’s just--" I said nervously "I don’t know how to slow dance, I’ll step on your feet"
The song tune started and everyone was already dancing. Ethan smirked and offered me his hand and I took it just as the words started
This time, This place
Misused mistakes
I instantly noticed Nickleback’s song ’far away’ as I tried to dance but ended up just moving awkwardly
Too long, too late
who was I to make you wait
Ethan glanced at me "Stand on my feet" he said and I looked at him confused, wasn’t the object f dancing to NOT step on your partner’s feet? "Trust me Lily"
Just one chance, just one breath
just in case there’s just one left
I nodded and gently stepped a bit on both his feet he smiled and leaned to my ear "Now let’s show them how to really dance" and with that he started to lead, dancing for the both of us like it was nothing at all, like i wasn’t stepping on his feet. A bystander wouldn’t notice because my dress was long. He glided effortlessly on the dance floor.
For the first time I actually felt like a love sick teenage girl, like I was in a fairytale. I felt like snow white and as cliche and as girlie as it sounded I didn’t want it to end.
