Prom 2008, beautiful movement

May 2, 2008
I just finished my nails when he came to the door.  I was rushed and anxious but I needed to make an enterance.  I made him wait.  After 2 minutes my excitement took over and I walked down the steps, heels clicking. 
"Wow," Kevin's eyes lit up as his eyes drank in my black dress with aqua beading.
A tiara balanced on top of a cascade of blonde curls.  I deserved that wow.  I put a lot more effort into tonight than I usually did.  Then again I barely wear anything other than jeans and a t-shirt.  This was probably the first time my best friend of 13 years had ever seen me in a dress and I knew he was stunned.
  Kevin also deserved a wow from me.  The black suit looked amazing on him especially with his aqua tie.
  Our mothers fought tears as they posed us for pictures.  Our fathers rolled their eyes as the two women posed us in the bright sunlight.  We even walked across the street to take a picture in front of my neighbor's lilac bush.
  Finally we were off to the school for the Grand March.  We socialized for a while and then we lined up and prepared to head to the stage.  Girls seperated from guys backstage.  We were to come from opposite sides and meet in the middle of the stage.  Then we proceeded down the steps and out through the back of the auditorium. 
  We then filed into the buses which would take us to Heinz Field in Pittsburgh.  Here is where things started to get awkward for me.  Kevin seemed to only want to pay attention to Sara.  She whined about everything, attention was what she wanted and Kevin gave it to her.  I wanted to cry.  I wondered why I even wanted to come to prom.  The fancy dinner, the gowns, they just weren't my thing.  I'm a horseback rider.  Muddy boots and old jeans come with the territory.
  When we got to Hienz Field I found a way to seperate Kevin and the whiney bitch.  Me and Kevin decided to get into the line for pictures as Sara left to go find her table.  After posing in front of the makeshift dock for the "James Bond Experience" theme, we made our way to our table, across the room from Sara, and awaited our dinner of baked gnocci.  Dinner finally arrived, it was kind of strange looking and I let Kevin eat mine.  Our friend Gage was assigned to our table, he cracked jokes as his date, Ashley, nearly shot Sprite out of her nose.
  After a quick make up check I went to the dance floor.  Much to my surprise Kevin followed,  I wasn't expecting him to do much more than stand around and talk to other girls so I just started to dance. 
  All of a sudden Kevin grabbed me and pulled me close.  I could tell he wanted me.  I worked my ass and we grinded to the beat of some rap song.  I turned, my back pressed against his chest, I reached back and grabbed his ass.  He returned the favor.  We dipped and swayed.  He had no idea I could dance the way I did and I had no idea that he would like it.  I swayed my hips, dipped low and curved back up. 
  I was no longer the scrawny blonde chick that lives up the road.  I was hott and he wanted me and I wanted him.  We swayed his hands on my hips.  His friends walked by and whistled and cheered for him.  I'm not a whore but I'm happy they were jealous and I was also happy that I had danced Sara right out of his mind. 
  The bass thumped and I flowed and twisted to the music.  His hands started on my abs and worked their way down to my hips and then to my thighs.  We used each other and we loved it.  I pulled him closer to me by his tie, he smiled.  I knew he loved it.  We danced like we were in a music video.  We weren't the only ones but the others were actual couples, me and Kevin were just friends.  But it seemed like we wanted more from one another.  Sweat poured down our faces it was hot and sexy.
"My friend, this is the body of an equestrian, enjoy it," I said.
He laughed as his hands continued to work over my flat abs and long legs. 
  Then something changed, it became less lustfull and more gentle.  He hugged my waist and I leaned into him.  For a second I thought a kiss was coming.  I wish it had, but I was scared it would scare him off.  I knew he didn't want romance to ruin our friendship but then what did he call what was happening on that dance floor?  I was wondering if he danced like this with all of his female friends. I was hoping it was saved just for me.  I had never danced like that with a guy, I was surprised that I was apparently so good at it.  We slow danced and he held me tenderly as we caressed each other's backs, my head on his shoulder, his cheek on my head.
  It all ended too quickly.  Actually we were out there for 3 hours but he had only seen part of what I can do.  Dancing is a lot easier in tight jeans and I wanted hism to see all that I had. 
  Then the hypnotist arrived.  Kevin checked his watch, it was 12:30.  As the hypnotist introduced himself and picked about 20 people to be hypnotized he said that people in the audience could follow along and be hypnotized if they followed his instructions.  I resisted, but Kevin didn't.  Before I knew it the hypnotist called up those who were in the audience that had been hypnotized.  Kevin and about 5 others proceeded up to the stage like zombies.  The hypnotist counted to 5 and they all dropped to the floor.  My hands covered my mouth as a shrieked quietly when Kevin slammed the floor, hard. 
  The hypnotist had them sit up and told them to think about the hottest person they know, I was hoping that I was on Kevin's mind,  then the man told them to use their body language to attract them.  Everyone began to grope themselves and smile, I laughed as Kevin started to blow kisses.  Then the hypnotist handed them napkins and told them that they were $100 bills.  The participants began to hide the napkins.  There were napkins in mouths, bras, pants, Kevin stuffed them down his shirt, giving himself boobs.  Then the man told them to get up and have a dance off.  I was a little jealous to see that Kevin was grinding with another person until I realized that the other person was a guy!  And that this guy hated Kevin, then it was just funny. 
  The antics continued untill about 1:30, then the contestants woke up, looking dazed and confused as to how they got on the floor.  I fought through the crowd and got to Kevin.  I asked him if he was okay.
"Why wouldn't I be?" he asked.
"Because you just dropped to the floor." I replied
He refused to believe any one.  He still believes that the show only lasted a few minutes and that he was next to me the whole time!  He was stunned when he looked at his watch and realized how late it was. Despite an entire room of people insisting that he was hypnotized he continued to deny it.
  We shared one more slow dance and then it was time to go back to the buses.  The romance seemed lost as soon as we left the building. 
  I want that feeling back, I want him to see me as more than his skinny blonde friend, I need him to want me like I want him.  I know that messing with friendships can have bad results but I'm ready to face the future.  I want to honestly know how he feels about me.  Does he REALLY want to just be friends or is he just scared to move forward?  After all that we still left prom as just friends.  I understand his fears but if he is honestly attracted to me, how can he hold back?  I want to repeat that night on the dance floor.  I want to dive for that kiss!  I want his hands on me.  I hope that prom has changed his view of me and that he will finally see me as beautiful.
