Chapter 9 - Chapter 9

Jack POV

As we get ready I reminisce about prom night. It  wasn't a normal high school prom. Its a prom they hold in your last year of uni. But I guess you could say its like a normal prom.

*Flashback starts*

I was waiting outside the house nervously, while building up the courage to knock. And finally I did. While I waited for a "Come on in!" or "Coming!" I heard footsteps on the other side. Loud footsteps. That was Cindy's dad. Once he opened the door my heart was almost jumped out of my chest. He didnt look scary at all but the look he gave me was enough to scare anyone. "You must be Jack", he said as he eyed me up and down. "Yes sir, you must be Cindy's father", I said as I reached out a hand. Surprisingly he took it. He had a very good grip. "Its nice to meet you, Jack", he said as his expression changed friendly. "Nice to meet you too sir", I said and gave him my best smile. "Well come on in. She'll only be a minute", he said as he opened the door wider. Entering her house I saw a lot of cat ornaments. "Does Mrs Williams like cats?", I ask. "Oh we both do. Me and her have been collecting them for years. We only own two real cats", he said with a laugh. "You guys have quite the collection. Its really impressive", I said as I joined his laugh. "Getting along are we?",Cindy said. I turned towards the staircase and I saw her walking down. She had the most beautiful navy blue dress on and her hair was down in curls. No make-up on just her naturally beautiful figures. Cindy didn't and still doesn't believe in wearing make-up. I was glad when I discovered that about her. She's better off without it. I love her just the way she is. As she got to the bottom step I reached out my hand for her. She took it and stood beside me. "Well we should get get going dad, tell mom we'll take pictures", she said and kissed her dad on the cheek. "Have fun", her dad said and hugged her. When we got outside her mom pulled up in the driveway. Mrs Williams caught us just on time. She greeted me and wanted to take pictures before we went. "Mom its fine, we'll take lots of pictures I promise", Cindy tried convincing her mom. "Oh alright then" ,her mom laughed. "Damn, I might have forgot something. I'll be right back", she announced. Her mom pulled me to the side. "You know, I'm glad you're a decent boy. Because her father did not hesitate to let tell her to shoot you somewhere if you were being inappropriate", she says with a nervous giggle. "Oh no I wouldn't dream of it", I replied laughing. Cindy came ruining to the door,"I'm back". She kissed her mom goodbye and we headed to my car. "Now that we have some privacy...", I said as I leaned in towards her. I pulled her in close and kissed her. "Hhhmmm... That was nice" ,she said eyes still closed. I smiled as she kissed my cheek.

*After a 15min drive*

We reached the university and climbed out. Then we headed to the uni hall. Once inside we noticed the awesome decorations of blue, sliver and black. There was also blue smoke covering the floor, they probably used a really good smoke machine. Cindy pulled me over to the snack bar. I couldn't blame her for wanting some snacks first. The snack bar looked stacked with amazing junk food. Like cookies and cream, ice cream, pizza, fries, donuts and an assortment of different snacks you could dip into the chocolate fountain. We each took a plate or two and filled it with snacks. Then we went and found a spot where we could sit. I fed her some her snacks and she fed me as we took advantage of each other. Every now and then one of us would purposely mess some icing or ice cream on the other's face. Not everyone was assumed at us playing with our food. But of course we found it hilarious. After we actually ate our snacks and had our fun we cleaned each other up. I wiped off the chocolate sauce I dripped on her nose and cheeks. She wiped off the ice cream from around my mouth and on the sides of my nose.

"Since we've had some snacks... would you like to dance?", I asked. "Yes! This is a great song. Come on!", she replied pulling me to the dance floor. I followed her to the dance floor. We danced to the beat of the song, My songs know what you did in the dark by Fall out boy. She was right, it was a great song. Me and Cindy love Fall out boy. Cindy grabbed my hands in hers and twirled me around. As I laughed at her action I twirled her too. Fall out boy kept playing till it switched to the first slow dance song. Her hands still in mine I pull her closer and put her arms around my neck. Then I put my hands at her back. We slow dance to the song Photograph by Ed Sheeran. Sometimes its nice taking things slow. As the night goes on we dance to almost all of the songs. Not all of them cause we got cramps because of all the dancing. It was amazing. And like she promised her mom we took plenty of pictures. After the last slow dance we headed back to the snack bar. There was still plenty left and the teachers assured everyone that we could take some with us. They needed to be rid of the food. It would be a waste if all that food was left. Me and Cindy did not hesitate to pack us some doggy bags. When we finished we headed outside to my car. "I have an idea", I announced as we got into the car. "Oh yeah?", she asked excited. "You'll see", I said with a smile.

I started the engine of my car and started driving in the direction of the park. Cindy looked puzzled about what I was up to. Once we were at the park I stopped the car and got out. "Bring the snacks",I told her as I got two blankets and a lamp from the back seats. She did as I asked and followed me to a specific tree. I laid one blanket down and told her to sit down. As we both sat down on the blanket I threw the other one over us. Cindy had helped me with the light from her phone all the way to the tree. But when I got the lamp on I told her we didn't need her phone light. It was one of those electronic lamps. "Well this is not a bad idea", she said leaning her head on my shoulder. "I was hoping you'd think so", I said with a chuckle. We started eating some of the snacks from our doggy bags. Something we did besides getting snacks was filling some takeaway cups with chocolate from the chocolate fountain. Some of the other people looked as like we were crazy but some actually followed in our footsteps. I mean how could you not? That chocolate was delicious. Good enough to eat on things and drink. She decided we need some music so she got her phone and earphones out. We wouldn't want to bother anyone living close to the park. She gave me one earpiece and put the other earpiece in her opposite ear. When she picked a song I smiled. Cindy was playing I'll be there by the Parlotones. Our song. Bloody cheesepuff. "You're such a cheesypuff", I told her as I laughed. "So are you!", she said as she started laughing too. "One of the things I love about you",I said and kissed her cheek. She looked at me a bit surprised. "You love me?",she asked. I realized I had just confessed. "Yes...?", I replied. With her hand she reached up to my head and ruffled me hair. "I love you too", she said. If the we weren't in the dark I could've sworn she was blushing. In the heat of the moment I turned her face towards mine and kissed her. Us having confessed to each other just made that night all the more special. As we pulled back we both smiled. "We should probably get you back home", I said. "I guess so", she said. We gathered the stuff and put it back in the car. I drove her home and we kissed once more as we greeted. Never did I smile as much as I did while I was day driving home that night.
