Anyone who's been to prom will probably tell you they love it, but for me - a dateless guy - I'm having the worst time of my life. My eyes scan the room, searching for anyone to talk to. That's when I see her, I see her beautiful eyes staring at me, before falling to the ground. I begin to approach her, her eyes still staring at the floor, yet I know she can sense my presence. I say Hi, and she blushes, insecurity, I don't know why, she's amazing, how can't she tell that? I place my hand under her chin, making her eyes stare into mine so I'm now able to see her beautiful face, covered over with make-up, which she clearly doesn't need.
She lights up the room as I smile at her and tell her a joke, making her crack a smile and giggle at me. Pushing me playfully as if to tell me to stop. Her friend calls and she turns her head suddenly so her hair flips across my face, immediately leaving me feel giddy and overwhelmed, her face turns back only to stare back at the ground.
"You're so beautiful" I mutter to her, making her cheeks glow a rosy red, why can't she see her beauty? The beauty that everyone else can see? I wish I could tell her how beautiful she really is, but it's impossible to put into words. It's like trying to describe the taste of water, it can't be done.
"Dan, stop" she laughs back at me, as if to think I'm joking.
"No seriously, you're beautiful, I think I've fallen for you. Sudden, I know but when you smile I can't help but feel my heart go heavy and butterflies flutter in my stomach" I say before kissing her softly on the lips, making the kiss last for longer than it should have.
"Come on, Dan, you're wrong. I'm not, don't lie to me." Her doubt in her own beauty made my heart stop, I need to find a way to prove that I'm right. I don't know why she turns away when our eyes try to connect. I never believed in love at first sight, but with her I can't help but think it's true. She is beautiful and amazing, her smile makes me melt and when our eyes connect, even though it's a rarity, I feel my heart skip a beat.
"Go out with me, please?" I beg her, I stare at her intently as I wait for her delicate voice to reply, I want her to say yes. But with her insecurity, who knows what she wants. The only thing I know is that I want her.
"Dan" She mutters pausing before continuing "Of course". I engulfed her in a tight hug, smothering her in kisses before pressing my forehead gently against hers whilst a smile spread across her lips.
"Now to show you just how beautiful you really are..."
