The week went by so slow to me. All throughout the the week I thought about her. When the day finally came, I drove to her house (Alfred was carpooling with Arthur) and rang the doorbell to her door. When the door opened, I expected to see Felicia but instead I saw Lovino. He was dressed up also and was glaring at me.
"H-hello Lovino," I said nervously.
"Felicia is upstairs and is almost finished," he said grumpy as usual. "You better not do anything to my sister or I'll-" "Fratello? Is that Matthew?" We both looked at the direction the voice came from and saw Felicia walking down the staircase. She looked beautiful. She was wearing a midnight blus dress that went above her knees a little and a blue headband in her hair which was down. "Ciao Matthew," she said walking up to me.
I couldn't make out words until Lovino hit me on my arm. "You look beautiful Felicia," I finally said. She giggled and turned to Lovino saying, "Are you going to pick up Michelle?" He said yes, said goodbye to Felicia and took off in his car. "Ready," I asked. "Si, I'm ready."
I helped her into her seat and got into mine. Then I started the car and drove off to the school. Once we finally got into the school, we followed other students into the gym where it was being held. We walked in and saw that the gym was decorated in red and pink hearts and other frilly stuff. "Wow, the gym looks nice tonight. Don't you agree Matthew." Felicia asked.
"Yeah, she's pre- I mean, yeah, it looks nice." Way to go Matt. I saw someone waving in our direction and realized that it was Alfred. "Why don't we sit over there?" She nodded and we made our way to Alfred's table. Lien was also there sitting next to Alfred, and Arthur and Natalia were also there, trying to hide that they were holding hands under the table.
"Glad you could make it Matthew," Arthur said nodding at me. "You too Felicia." She smiled saying, "Grazie!" I looked around but didn't see Francis here with us. "If you're looking for Francis, he's over there," Natalia said pointing towards the bleachers. There in the back of the bleachers, Francis was making out with Emilie. Gilbert and Antonio were there too, who were also making out with their dates, Liz and Emma.
"Geez, couldn't they have waited until afterwards," Alfred said turning away from the trio and their dates. "You don't see me and Lien doing that. Also, she'd kick my ass if I tried to." "Damn right I will," she said. Suddenly a slow song came on and everyone with dates made their way to the dancefloor. Even Arthur and Natalia went to dance. "Would you like to dance," I asked holding my arm out to Felicia. "I'd love to," she said taking my hand.
I had never danced a lot in my life, so I tried to not step on her feet. She would always giggle or smile when I would almost mess up. But I didn't mind, I loved to see her smile. After the song was over we made out way back to the table and talked to our friends and ate the food there. Later on they announced the winners of the sweetheart and beau competition and turns out Antonio and Emma had won. "Hey Mattie," I heard a voice come from behind. I turned around to see Gilbert making his way to me.
"Bonjour Gilbert," I said. "So you came with Felicia? Didn't think you liked her," he said with a small laugh. "Yeah, well..." I said not knowing what to say. "So are you taking her home tonight," he asked hitting me on the back. "Oh come one Gil. I would never do that to her, plus, we're not even dating," I said trying not to blush. "OK, OK, sorry for asking." He saw Liz, said goodbye, and walked off with her.
Since I like Felicia, should I ask her to be ny girlfriend? You know what? I'll do it!
Felicia came back from the restroom and came up to me smiling. "I'm back," she said in her usual joyfull self. "Um, Felicia, there's something I need to ask you," I said blushing. "What is it?" I breathed in and said very fast, "Willyoubemygirlfriend?" She stared blank at me until finally saying, "Of course I will!" Then she smiled at me before pulling me into a kiss. I kissed her back but remembered we were in public. Alfred's cheering also reminded me that we weren't alone. The rest of the night, we danced together and laughed with each other.
I finally took her home, and walked up the front porch with her. "I had fun Matthew. I hope we could do more stuff like this." "Yeah, it was a lot of fun. I'd love to spend time with you any day," I said leaning into her. She leaned in also until our lips met again. She put her arms around my neck and mine around her waist. Not noticing the headlights, we kept kissing. That is until we heard a honk and looked up scared and saw an angry Lovino. "Get away from my sister bastard," he yelled. I gave her a kiss on the cheek and ran off to my car before Lovi could catch me.
Once I got home, I undid my tie and went upstairs to my room. I saw that Al was already passed out in his room. I changed clothes and went to bed, dreaming of Felicia all night. I couldn't wait to see her again.
