Wondeful Tonight
By: shaznay17
~*~*~
I distinctly remembered Robin enter the living room, waving a fancy paper with something written on it. He shoved it under the other titan's noses, rambling about something.
My friends tried to wave him off and continue to their daily stuff, but Robin still insisted on it. I smiled, and watched his lips that were set in a pout,
trying to use his charms in everyway so he can get what he wanted. He is so cute, too bad he only thinks of me as his bestfriend. I sat back there, away from the rest
of them, then I noticed there was an expectant silence. Huh?" All of them are staring at me, as if waiting for something. "Um, excuse me, why are you all staring at me?" I asked, shifting uncomfortably.
My friends, with the exception of Robin, was smiling at me..like...like that cat in Alice in Wonderland Raven told me about. I forgot it's name. Robin was trying to compose an air of casuality, but was totally given away
by his red face. How cute...He cleared his thorat and asked "Starfire, w-would you like to go out with me?"
"It's late in the evening
She's wondering what clothes to wear
She puts on her makeup
And brushes her long brown hair
And then she asks me, 'Do I look alright?'
I say yes, 'you look wonderful tonight.'"
I sighed and asked Raven if she's finished with me already. She told me no, and gave me a little whack on my head. I was already dressed in a lavender gown that Raven insisted on,
saying that the color matches my personality. There were times thst the cold hearted Raven never ceased to amaze me. And to think I needed to beg her for an hour to dress me up! I remembered Robin's relieved smile as I said yes, and the guys' hoots. I mean, it was just a friendly date, right?
But then, it didn't stopped the gentle tug on my heart. I frowned. That has been going on for quite a few weeks now. Whenever I'm around Robin, it was as if my heart was being tugged then I can't breathe, and I feel hot and sweaty all the time.
I can't asked the boys what it is, since they might tease me mercilessly. Besides, it was something to be
asked to a girl. Another whack on my head reminded me that Raven is still hovering around my head, trying to stlye my hair into an elaborate updo. I sighed. If only she wasn't another girl titan, i would have...wait a minute, that's it! I turn around and ignored her angry outburst.
I explained everything to my friend, except of course about the Robin part. She smiled at me, that true, genuine smile of hers and told me "You idiot. It's not 'heart tugs' as you called it. It is a feeling shared between a man and a woman.
it is called love."
We got to a party
And everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady
Who's walking around with me
And then she asks me, do I feel alright?
I say 'yes, I feel wonderful tonight'"
I sat in silence, sneaking a peek every once in a while at Robin's handsome face. He keeps glancing at the review mirror and trying to flatten his jet black-hair. I admit, it was nice to see Robin wearing something other than his scarlet costume. We were driving in Cyborg's new sports car, which Robin told me he borrowed. I blushed as I remembered what Raven told me a while ago. "It is called love..." I know about love. I've seen it in one of the
romantic movies BeastBoy had been watching recently (he made me promise not to tell anyone about it.) I slowly fingered the single rose in my hair which I took from the bouquet Robin gave to me, thinking. 'Do i really love my bestfriend?' I stole another glance at him and this time he caught me. He slowly smiled, and I smiled back.
'Why doubt the obvious?'
I feel wonderful
Because I see the love in your eyes
And now wonder on it all
That you just don't realize
How much I love you
I felt him smelling my hair as we dance slowly under the lights. He also smells nice...strong yet gentle at the same time. I sighed in pleasure, and he immedieatly asked what's wrong. I just shooked my head and decided not to speak, afraid that if I did, I might wake up from this beautiful dream. The song was nearly finished, and I bit my lip.
It was too good to be true. Being hugged by him, his strong arms around my bare waist...well, it made me feel content and secure. I tightened my grip around his neck. So it is pretty much confirmed that I love him. But what if he doesn't like me back. What if he found someone else?
I slowly grew tensed, but I tried pushing it away. This night is too magical for me to ruin it by thinking such thoughts. Finally, the song ended. A lot of couples were starting to leave the dance floor, but he still kept me in his arms. He leaned towards me, his lips brushing my ear, and whispered "Thank you
for being my date." I slowly steppd out of his arms and smiled. "Gladly."
It's time to go home now
And I got an aching head
So I give her the car keys
And helps me into bed
And then I tell her, as I turn down the lights
I said "darling you were wonderful tonight."
Amazingly, I managed to drive the car towards our home wihtout me having to use my powers or hitting something. All the while Robin has his eyes closed, ready for the surprise I planned for him. My heart was pounding wildly against my rib cage as I took his hand. and guided him out of the car. We flew up to the rooftop, where I set up my surprise for him.
"You can open your eyes now." He did as so, and looked a little surprised. A telescope was standing near he edge and was already set up, with a little help from Cyborg. He slowly stepped up to it and I started rambling.
You see, in our kingdom, we have a saying that a woman's heart was signified by the stars. Our stars are only visible to those whom we love and them who love us back. "..you see, um, I just wanted to see if you, and I..uhh...you know.." I babbled on, blushing furiously. Robin stepped up to me, and put
a finger on my lips. I guess it was to say for me to shut up. I looked up bashfully in his eyes, and everything I needed to know was already there.
You look wonderful; you're everything I needed more
You look wonderful, so beautiful....tonight.
We both sat down by the pool side and watched the heavens above. Robin offered me his coat, since he noticed that I was shivering in this thin dress. It was very beautiful, the stars. I was about to say something awfully corny, but I decided against it. It might make us both uncomfortable. I looked up to my bestfriend, and he also looked down at me. Our eyes locked, and within seconds, he kissed me. It was brief, but sweet. I dizzily remembered that I once thought humans who kissed each other are way goss, that they were only doing it as a duty. But now...I don't know. It doesn't feel like either of the two. It feels, right. I rested my head against him, and he whispered the words I have been wanting to hear all this time. I turned to answer, but he was already asleep. i just smiled, snuggled closer, and whispered "I love you too. More than you could ever know."
