Not before prom

chapter 12, end

Prom night
She had chosen to wear blue, blue looked good on her, it made her eyes shown, brought out her features.  She had gotten her hair fixed, pulling it up in swirls and curls, she had even gotten a professional to apply her make-up, of course her dad had paid for that.  But her mom had paid for the blue dress she now stood in, regal as a queen. 
         "Honey, Damon's here" Her mom called, She raced down the stairs, or raced in the standard of wearing heels.  She stopped on the top stairs, the guy down there wasn't Damon, his dark hair was in a ponytail and Damon's hair wasn't long, Damon wasn't as tall as this guy, or have broad shoulders like this guy, or sparkling hazel eyes, or beautiful full lips.  Riah practically flew in his hand, he picked her up and spinned her around
         "I counldn't let you go with no one but me" he said after putting her down, she stared into his eyes
         "Okay you two, Riah your mom wants to take some pictures" Her dad said, Riah turned in Raoul's arm and posed, her eyes glistening with tears.  She was shocked, but good shocked...
         "Okay, the limo is waiting" Raoul said after her mom had taken enough pictures
         "You rented a limo?" she asked in awe
         "Only for the best, and my dad works for this company where they have limos, so it's free" his eyes glistened.  They went out the door, and to the car, Raoul stopped her, he looked deep into her lilac and thought how much this girl ment to him
         "I can't go through another one of those break-ups, I don't know what I did..."
         "You didn't do anything Raoul" she held his hand, holding her palm down to her heart, "I just couldn't, I-I just wanted your love" she said saddly dropping his hand
         "By breaking up with me?" he snapped
         "Well, at the time, it seemed like the best idea..."
         "What do you think that meant ? Us? What do you think us maing love meant to me?"
         "I-I don't know" she signed
         "Damn it Riah, do I have to spell it out to you before you finally realize it? I love you Riah"
         "You do?" she asked in wonder
         "Yeah, so stay away from Damon?"
         "Damon? Oh my God, Damon! i totally forgot Damon..."
         "Don't worry about it, he's going with Alissa" Raoul Shrugged, "Now get in so we can go to our prom"
         "Wait, how...?"
         "Don't worry about it, just get in the car" he said

Perhaps that was the best night of her life, prom had been great, Raoul was prom King and Riah was a bit jealous to see someone else dancing with her boyfriend.  But it had been funny when she started dancing with Damon how Raoul dropped the queen and came to her instead looking menacingly at Damon who backed off.  The night had been good, funny and fun.  She had loved it, and loved it even more that she was able to spend time with her love, Raoul.
Who would have thought a pretty boy like Raoul would look twice at her?
