-Chapter Twenty Five-
Terri went to Emma and Christie's to get ready for prom with them. Spike had offered to do her hair also and the girls were psyched. It was only 12:30 but the girls had a lot to do to get ready.
"Only seven hours, thirty minutes, and twenty one seconds left until prom finally starts!" exclaimed Christie.
Terri looked @ Emma and both girls started laughing. Craig, Jimmy, and Sean were getting ready @ Craig's house and they were coming over, along with Joey and Angie, around five to take pictures and then the couples were heading off for dinner before the main event. Spike started with Terri's hair, she twisted it up into a formal French twist, securing it with bobby pins in the back. Since her dress was baby blue, Spike stuck a few blue flowers into the twist and Terri was finished.
"Emma," said Terri," Jimmy bought a corsage and stuff for himself to match my dress which Sean will wear to the prom and then they'll switch off once we're there."
"Aww Ter, thanks so much for doing this. It's great that Sean and I both get to go, and we get to hang out with our friends!"
Next up was Christie, her hair was long so Spike decided to leave half of it down. She parted it in the middle and curled it all, then she pinned half of it up and tucked some pieces behind her ears. Last but not least was Emma, Spike parted her hair in the middle and twisted the top back. Then she pinned all of her hair up and made it stick up.
"All done girls," said Spike. This had taken about two hours and it was time for the girls to relax before getting on their dresses and make-up. They had a snack of a variety of fruits and watched MADE on MTV. By the time they were finished it was about 3:30 so they decided to start getting ready. Pulling on dresses, swiping their faces with make-up and strapping up shoes, the last of necessary things were done right as the doorbell rang. The girls got ready to file down the stairs as Christie grabbed what had become her signature necklace and Emma helped her put it on.
"They should be down in just a minute," Spike told the boys. Snake was chatting with Joey and Craig was holding Angie, talking with her about something or other.
Emma came down first, her dress was a sleek, orange, strapless gown made of gorgeous, iridescent taffeta. The bodice was exquisitely detailed with pleats on one side, there was a cascading ruffle on one side and tasteful but sexy slit up the back.
Sean was the first to speak," Wow. Craig and I laughed when you said orange, but that is.amazing."
Jimmy was next," You look great Em." He hugged her and placed a pretty orange flower on her wrist to match her dress, and the one pinned to his shirt. He looked @ her as he put it on and she nodded telling him she knew the plan.
Then Terri came down, her dress was baby blue with spaghetti straps, plain and simple. Everyone told her she looked lovely and Sean gave her the corsage to match her dress.
Last was Christie, the butterflies in Craig's stomach were threatening to turn into elephants and he couldn't wait much longer for her to come down, but he didn't have to. She walked gracefully down the staircase wearing a strapless white gown made of silk chiffon. There was beadwork done along the bodice, waist, and hemline of the dress in black crystal beads. She looked amazing. As she came down she looked right @ Craig, he looked gorgeous as always, and she giggled at what he had on complimenting his tux. It was his hat, her favorite hat. Of course he was also sporting his 10,000 watt smile that she had noticed the first day she met him. How lucky am I, she thought.
"Cris, you look beautiful," he said giving her a kiss. She smiled and grabbed Angie giving her a kiss on the cheek.
"You look like a princess," she said, causing everyone to laugh. "I feel like a princess," said Christie. The parents took their millions of pictures and then they headed off to the restaurant in their black limo.
Dinner was good, the company was great, but none of them could wait for what was coming next. As the limo pulled up to the Hilton, the lights were shining and their classmates were pouring in from everywhere. They waved and hugged, chatted with a few people and finally found themselves inside, walking down a huge staircase to the dance, where everyone already seemed to be enjoying themselves.
They all went to dancing right away, Sean and Jimmy switched flowers, and dates, but no one seemed to mind. They were laughing and just having a good time, all together. After about an hour Craig and Christie went to sit down at one of the tables. Craig plopped down onto a chair and Christie sat down on his lap.
Craig looked @ the empty chairs around the table, and then @ his girlfriend. "Sweetie, I know it's crowded at this table but I'm sure you could find a chair somewhere."
"I just wanted to be able to do this whenever possible," said Christie, leaning into Craig and kissing him. Craig put his hand on her waist and pulled her closer to him.
Christie pulled away and said," As much as I would like to have another one of those make-out sessions with you, we cannot do that right here."
Craig got a sly smirk on his face," We can go find a closet," he said.
Christie cocked her head @ him and Craig was sure she was going to give him some lecture. "That sounds good, I've been dying to get on you all night. I think it's the hat." She said with a wink. She got up and stuck out her hand to a shock Craig, who grabbed it. She headed over to Sean and Emma who were dancing and told them to call her cell phone in half an hour, if they weren't back.
Craig started towards the door with Christie following and when they got into the hall, they started laughing.
"This is so weird, Craig."
"Yeah I know, it'll be worth your while. I promise."
"I don't doubt it," replied Christie.
As they were walking down the hall, Craig finally spotted a suitable room. He opened the door and yanked Christie inside, pulling her to him. She wrapped her arms around his neck, resting them on his shoulders and smiled.
"Now this is how it's supposed to be. I missed this."
Craig nodded as he leaned in and kissed her. Christie melted into his arms as she felt that tingle she always got whenever their lips touched. He's the one, she thought. She knew that was what it meant, and she was glad. Christie couldn't have wanted to spend the rest of her life with anyone else. She darted her tongue into Craig's mouth, letting his explore her own, and their tongues danced together. She tugged on his tie as he held one of her hands in his own.
They kissed each other for what seemed like hours when she finally pulled away. He sighed," Christie.."
"I know Craig," she said smiling. "We could, but definitely not in a closet."
Craig nodded," Why don't we head back now, so we aren't tempted, okay?"
Christie smiled and they shared one last kiss before heading back to the dance. Christie fixed her make-up using a mirror in her purse; she wiped Craig's cheek clean of lipstick and fixed his hat. They walked back into the gym and went to find Emma and Sean. They were sitting down with Jimmy and Terri, and the couple joined them. "Hey guys," said Sean," long time no see."
Craig leaned back in his chair and cracked his knuckles as Christie asked Sean if he had anymore stupid jokes to tell them. He stuck his tongue out at her and they all laughed.
"This is the last dance everyone," said the DJ," make it count."
Christie took hold of Craig's hand and they headed out to the dance floor.
"Craig," she said resting her head on his shoulder," even through all the bad things, this has been the best year of my life. I never knew that all the heartache I had gone through in my life would get me to this. To you, someone who understand me, and knows me better than anyone else. Moving here was the best thing that I've ever done. Not only did I acquire my soul mate whom I will never let go of, but I made friends, good friends, that helped me through rough times and I know will always be there."
"Cris, you know I feel that exactly, and ten times more. You understand me better than I understand myself. I love you with all my heart."
"I love you too Craig." Said Christie.
They pulled apart for one last kiss before the dance was over. They gathered their things and headed back to Jimmy's to start the beginning of the rest of their lives together.
.:.:.:.:. THE END .:.:.:.:.
I hope that I came thru in the end, and I hope that you all enjoyed the story. Keep reviewing, and if u like it, tell your friends to read it!! LOL
I'm thinking of maybe writing a sequel, set five years later, with Christie and Craig planning their wedding. What do you all think? Give me your opinions, ideas, whatever! I would really like to write another story, and your ideas would be a big help!
