"What do you mean?"
"You have to ask me to Prom."
"But everyone knows we're going together. We're boyfriend and girlfriend!"
She gave me her small smile on her powdery looking lips. "You still have to ask me before someone else does."
I sighed. "You know, Vee, you sure are a piece of work."
Victoria came close to me. "Yes, but I'm all yours."
"If I'm yours then why do I have to ask you to Prom?"
She didn't answer me, she just gave me that beguiling look.
"Fine. Will you go to Prom with me Vivi?"
"You can't ask it in a cute way? Like the way Pouncival did with Jemima? Or the way Bombi did?"
"I, uh, wanna save all my cuteness for Prom."
She giggled. "Well you better quot being cute right now."
I wrapped my arms around her, bringing her close. "I love you."
She looked up at me, eyes wide, a light smile on her lips. It was the first time I had ever told her I loved her. "I love you, too."
I brought her closer and planted a gentle kiss on her lips. "Will you go to Prom with me?"
"Of course I will," she said.
Short, sweet, and to the point. Just the way we are.
Who says asking people to Prom had to be long and elaborate? :) Thanks for the comments guys!
