Music playing in the background and students talking having some conversation with each other
Everyone is sitting down eating dinner and taking pictures and I could only wish my best friend was here also…our table was full with all kinds of meal and dessert but me I was only eating fruit salad as I didn't have much appetite as I'm about take a bite of my pineapple I feel my phone vibrating in my pocket when I take it out it was Nick call "Nick" I whispered
I answered the phone:
"Nick…you're"
"I'm at the hotel come outside" He said cutting me off with calm voice I held my phone tightly to my ear feeling nervous.
"Okay I'm coming" I replied then ended the call I looked at my phone and putted in my pocket
I held Lian's hand as she was talking with Shawn "Hey Lian…Nick is outside he wants to talk I think"
She stares at me "Then why are you still doing here go to him crazy boy"
I smiled at her being surprised "Really Lian crazy boy!"
"Tyler Creek go" I quickly stood up and paced to go outside as I cross in the middle of the dance floor I heard
"Dear Tyler!" I stopped and everyone look around each other the hall became quite
"I had to say this; your eyes are so bright and beautiful like summer sky reflecting on the open sea of Hawaii. This time sadness doesn't look so nice on them so little smile will do hey…" I smiled looking around turning around "And you said?"
"You must be" I whispered
"No…Dear" he said I looked down and smirked I couldn't believe I was doing this in front of everyone
"Dear Oceans!
Congratulations I smiled by the way I must say… you must be really Obsessed with oceans to pick it as your front name and to see it in my eyes by any chance can you mail me a day and time to reveal yourself?"
"Today…Right now" Then I felt someone standing right behind me "Here I am" He whispered in my ear over shoulder.
I slowly turned around to face him it was a long turn that should have taken only a second but that long turn it was worth it my secret admirer is Nick my best friend wearing (White shirt, black formal vest, black slim fit pants, black cufflinks, black watch and white sneakers) I smiled a bit with emotions but I was thrilled to see my best friend in front of me.
"Finally we met, you are so fond of playing hide and seek… more over what took you so long I told you I would leave the window open you just" Then he cut it me off by kissing me everyone held their breathe while others were clapping and cheering being happy "Yeah…whoo-hoo" They yelled in my mind I was like this are the same lips I kissed that night at the camp.
"It took you guys long enough"
I was spinning and floating in clouds feeling the magic run through my vines as he broke the kiss I was feeling drowsy that took me couple of seconds to return to my senses I looked at him being surprised
"It was…" I whispered
"Me…" Nick said I smiled looking at his eyes with teary eyes and he kisses me again and we bend our foreheads to each other smiling he whipped a tear in the corner of my left eye.
With our heads still bend together we looked at the sides and everyone were clapping being happy looking at us we shyly smiled at each other and some of our classmates came to us smiling and laughing.
"You guys make a killer couple for sure"
"What took you guys so long?" we looked around when I looked at Lian she was clapping and jumping around seen her reaction made me smile
Looking at Nick with eye side "Can we leave this dance floor please?" he looked at me "You had to pick tonight to do this?" I made a shy smile shaking my head
"Yeah" When started walking some of our classmates came to us congratulating us
Then Lana went to the stage to make announcement for the Queen and King
"Good evening west coast high" we all turned to the stage to look at her "That kiss was amazing and beautiful I'm happy for you guys, but now… ladies and gentle the votes are in it is time west coast high to announce our Queen and King" everyone cheer up and clapping "The votes have been sorted in ascending order"
Nick looked at me "Hey come with me" he held my hand
"Where?" he gently pulled my hand
"Just outside I need to talk to you will be back soon" He leaded me out of the matric dance hall.
Lana's voice "Our matric dance queen is." Fading away
We walked in the hotel lobby and saw some waiting couches on the left side we went to them and sat down so we could talk a bit I could see he was a bit nervous he kept on playing with his fingers so I decided to break the ice by starting the conversation
"Why didn't you tell me?" I looked at him I saw him making a sign of relief that his ready to talk, part of me was happy that his was ready to open up to me instead of keeping his feelings to himself.
"I was scared…of rejection when you came out your family and everyone supported you I mean I liked girls but my strongest attraction and feelings is when I'm with you"
I looked at him being surprised "Nicholas" he smiled at me
"I know i used to stare at you when you were not looking" Nick then remembered all those moments and smiled "Then I did what every person do when they are confused or trying to figure some things out I got inside my head and turned to YouTube to see other people coming out stories some had good positive stories but others had horrific stories they were rejected by their own families and I thought what if I'm not that lucky like others and Ty" Nick became a bit emotional and having a break in his voice as his about to cry I quickly hugged him tightly he then whispered "What if people judged me or blamed my parents so I kept quite then I made a decision to come out to you and admit I was your secret admirer because I didn't want the high school to end without telling you so that night at the camp I went looking for you when I saw Alex and you kissing my heart broke into million pieces that moment felt disappointed in myself that if I had told you sooner I would probably have had a chance that's why I fought with Jake even though he was not at fault I just felt frustrated and needed to unload I walked around the camp it's when I decided to leave the following day cause I knew I wasn't gonna be able stand and watch you with another guy" we broke the hug "But today I had the talk with my parents apparently they had their own suspicions"
I looked at him "They did, based on what?" he smiled at me shaking his head
"That's what I asked…but you won't believe what they said and my dad was the hilarious one his suspicion deceived some Oscars and popcorns on the other hand my mom you don't even want to know what she said" I laughed a bit at his reaction "But today I had to come and tell you how I felt or more of showing it" he made a smirk smile but then I figured I should come clean to him also.
"I think I should come clean with you also" he looked at me with curious face
"With what?" Nick asked
"There is something I need to tell you, I kind of knew you might be the secret admirer" he looked at me with a curious confused face "I mean it was little things you would say but then I used to brush it off until the day we were returning from camp Lian told me that the night before the morning you had left you went looking for me plus the look you had when you were leaving I had never seen it before"
Nick gazed at me "What do you mean…what look?"
I smirked at him "You were drained and sad at the same time."
"Really… even after I tried so hard to pull a front"
I looked at him "Even if you pull a front I know you the way you know me, I just wish you had trusted me to tell me but again I understand your reasons and you know Amy also told me you liked me when we were returning from camp" I whispered
He looked at me with such warm eyes "Really she did?" seeing that sparkle in his eyes it made me feel like drowning in them he then held my hand "So what happens now?" he asked
"I mean since you kissed me in front of everyone at our matric dance which will be remembered forever now let's just enjoy this moment and the rest will see it tomorrow what do you say?" suddenly I felt shy don't know why but the feeling I had it was great I'm not going lie.
He smiled at me "Hmm…but we never stop being best friends" he held up his hand "Promise?"
I looked at him and put my hand in his "Promise." He then kissed my hand then came forward and kissed me
"Hmm…this kisses are worth wait" We both laughed and bend our foreheads together "We should get back inside" I whispered
"Yeah you right and when heading back we should prepare ourselves for 3rd degree questions"
We stood up to headed back "So what was hilarious suspicion your dad had about you?"
"That I find Victoria secret models alright" I couldn't control myself I busted into a laugher
"I'm gonna have to ask Mr McDowell about those models" I laughed so hard
"Monkey don't encourage him" As we walked back "wait I have an idea" I looked at him being curious what are hell was he thinking now.
"What are you up too now?" he looked at me with a smirk smile
"Fashion mode time" walking backwards signing me with his hands to come forward I smiled at him and walked towards him
"Let's finish strong" I whispered
As the doors opens we walked in holding hands and having other hands in our pockets wearing our (3D dimensional flower blazers) Nick in (Black, black pants, white shirt, red bowtie and white sneakers) and me in (Red blazer with black trim, black pants, white shirt, black bowtie etc…) everyone looked at us and we grabbed all the attention as we always do and everyone were shocked and clapping for us.
Lian came to us smiling and hugged me first then Nick. "Ty I knew you had something under selves" she said I winked at her "This matric dance might have queen & king but the truth of the fact is you two are the king & king of West Coast high" everyone clapped
I looked at Nick "King& King?"
He turned and looked at me "King& King" he smiled so cutely
"Not bad my secret admirer" I whispered
"Not bad at all Dear Tyler" Nick said I smiled at him "Now what's matric dance without dancing so may I have this dance?" forwarding his hand to me
"Well I'll love too" I held his hand and we went to the dance floor the song started to play and we slow danced.
Then Lian goes on stage "Ladies and gentlemen" we all looked at the stage "give it up to for west coast high fashionable and now killer couple our King& King Tyler Creek and Nick McDowell…I'm so jealous what a perfect way to finish high school" everyone laughed "Our west coast KING & KING" Everyone clapped Nick and I looked at each other smiling then he bended his head and gave me a kiss.
The party went on everyone where dancing, others were eating and taking endless pictures but most importantly we all had some fun.
It was around midnight or so, we went to Lian and few of our classmates "Guys we are going for after party are you guys coming?" Tommy asked
"No, cut me out I'm tired"
"Nick how about you?"
Lian stared at Tommy "Are you kidding how can he go when Ty is not going they are boyfriends now" Nick and I gazed at each other smiling
"Right, alright than will see you guys at school"
They all left Nick and I also got in our cars as we came separately we drove home following each other on the way home I could only think about the kiss.
We pulled parked our cars in our house parking lord we got out of our cars we locked the cars and walked to the middle of the street we stood in front of each other
"Good night Mr Oceans"
"Good night Dear Tyler"
We both turned around and walked to our house but as I got at the front door I stopped without opening the door I turned around again and walked back to go to Nick as I got in the middle of the street he also came back we stopped couple feet away from each other without thinking or hesitating we grabbed each other and shared passionate kiss standing in the middle of the street who would have thought after crossing this very spot it would be where we gonna share such passionate moment who would have imagined.
We stopped and bended our heads together smiling to each other
"This is the second best moment ever in my life"
"Oh yeah what is the first?"
"Being your best friend"
I shook my head while smiling "You are so cheesy, how could you say such a pick up line in front of me?"
"It's not a pick up line it's the truth"
"Fine I'm tired and sleepy again good night Nicholas" I turned to walk back home but Nick grabbed my hand I stopped and turned around i looked at him we had eye lock for a while just looking at each other without saying anything he slowly walked towards me without breaking the eye contact
I looked up at him "What happened, why are you looking at me like that?"
He held my face he traced my eye brows, my nose than my lips with his thumb finger I just closed my eyes allowing myself to feel his touches than I felt his lips against mine the kiss was slow yet intimate he stopped and whispered in my ear
"Good night Tyler"
I turned then smiled I walked away and went home while Nick was still standing in the middle of the street I opened the door and went inside I saw waving as I close the door I climbed up the stairs and went to my room I opened the door and closed behind me I walked to my bed and laid back facing the ceiling I touched my lips and remembered all the kissing moments with Nick.
