"How do I look?" Emma Lee asked herself. She was excited for her senior year prom night. Kyle had been her boyfriend since the end of her junior year, and she still was excited every time she had a date with him. She stared back at her reflection, showing her low cut, dark blue prom dress. She switched the diamond necklace for a simple chain with a blue gem on it. This necklace had been in her family since for generations and generations and was past down to her. She was going to where the diamond necklace that Kyle got her, but decided that the blue one looked better. He was always buying her little gifts & for her birthday he had bought her a diamond necklace.

"Emma Lee, Kyle is here," her mom said up the stairs when the doorbell rang.

"I'm coming," she said back while she headed down the stairs. When she descended the stairs, Kyle's deep blue eyes never left her brown eyes. Emma Lee took in his white, three piece suit, and then looked back to his handsomely tanned face.

"You ready to go?" he asked with his southern drawl.

"Pictures first," mom said before Emma Lee could reply, not that she could trust her voice. He took her breath away in his suit. He handed her corsage for her wrist. "Smile," mom said before she started flashing away with her camera. Dad was finally the one who said that she had taken enough pictures for tonight and that they better get going.

As Emma Lee and Kyle made their way to his truck, Kyle slipped his arm around her waist and whispered, "I thought we would never get out of there," Emma Lee couldn't help but giggle. Kyle always knew what to say to make her laugh. He opened her door when they reached his truck, but before he let her in, he stole a quick kiss.

"Good thing that the door blocked their view," Emma Lee said breathlessly. He chuckled deep in his throat and picked her up around the waist and set her in the truck as if she was nothing but a feather, winked, and then shut the door. She loved it when he chuckled and watched him as he walked around to his and hopped in. He started the truck and took off to town.

"I'm surprised your mom didn't come out with the camera," Kyle joked.

"You know she has pictures up all around the house, she'd never miss something like this,"

"I'm still surprised,"

"Tell me 'bout it,"

"Well, she always has her camera and never stops taken' pic… o.k. o.k. I'll stop," he said when Emma Lee playfully smacked him on the arm, not even trying to hide his smile. He wrapped his arm around her and pulled her to the center of the truck. They sat in silence as he made the ten minute drive into town. When they reached the high school, Kyle jumped out of the truck and ran over to her side and helped her down. Even with her three inch heels on, her current height of 5" 8' was still no match to his 6" 1' and his broad shoulders. He ushered her into the high school for her last prom night. They walked in and, after the photographer took their picture, they headed for their table.

"I swear I'll be blind before we go home,"

"Then I guess I'll drive,"

"You know the dr. said that you can't drive with your medication," Last week Emma Lee had fallen and had gotten a large cut in her leg and was put on anti-biotic and was advised not to drive until she was taken off the medicine.

"I no, at least its is only for another two days, and I'll get my stitches out then two,"

"Well I can take them out with my pocket knife cheaper then what the doctor can. Don't worry, I won't use the dull one," He joked. "It's your choice if you want to have shorts on or not," Emma Lee blushed a deep red when he whispered the last part. He knew that she was waiting for her wedding night for that, and he respected that, but he would around about it when he got the chance.

"You know you are so cute when your blush," he whispered into her ear. He leaned in and kissed her softly on the lips. When the kiss ended, he grabbed her around the waist and held her close.

"Emmy!" shouted her best friend Stephanie when she walked in with her date Nathan.

"Hey Steph," Emma Lee replied. "You're just in time for the food,"

After the food was served, everyone ate carefully, while they chatted with each other. When everyone was finished, the tables were cleared away to make room for the dance floor. The DJ wasted no time getting the dance started. After a few fast songs, the DJ finally played a slow song. Kyle grabbed Emma Lee by the hand and led her onto the dance floor. When he found a good spot, he stopped and put her arms around his neck and pulled her close to him by her waist. Emma Lee rested her head against his chest and snuggled into his arms. He wrapped his arms tightly around her and kissed the top of her head. They swayed back and forth to the music and forgot about everyone else. When the song ended, they stood there wrapped in each others arms for a second.

"Do you want a pop?" Kyle asked.

"Mountain Dew please."

"Be right back," and he headed out the doors and down the hall. Emma Lee headed to sit down by Steph and Nate.

"Where did Kyle go?" Steph asked.

"Get some pop. Just think, graduation is almost here."

"I no, I can't wait to get out of here," they talked on about graduation and Emma Lee realized Kyle hadn't come back yet.

"I'm going to see what is taking his so long," Emma Lee said as she headed out to look for Kyle. When she found him, he was holding Sara (a classmate of Emma Lee's) in his arms while they were kissing.
