I figured it wouldn't be that bad. I mean, it would only take a second right? Perhaps it would even be fun.
Gates did the honor of getting me a stool to sit on, and I did so. As they began to play the music for it, they all stopped chanting and watched intently. We both began to laugh at this, because I don't think either one of us imagined being in this position. I finally put one leg out and nodded my head 'yes'.
My dress was fairly long. It was too long for just his arms to reach, so he had to literally go underneath it.
As this was happening, I winked at Katie and she screamed at the knowledge.
I could feel that he was going up a bit too high, so I hit him on the head and everybody started to laugh. This whole time, I thought he was going to use his hands, but I was wrong. He used his teeth instead.
To tell the truth, I really liked it. It may seem like the worst thing in the world to say so, but it's the truth. I was actually enjoying myself.
Once he came out with it, everyone began to clap and cheer. Some oompas in the back of the room couldn't see what was happening, so Wonka held up the garter so they knew. Once they were informed, they got all excited and began to cheer as loud as the others.
We went to sit back down, and the DJ put on a slow romantic song. We were supposed to dance to it. "May I have this dance?"
"Of course."
The only time I had danced with him was a different kind of dancing. This time, it was so close and romantic that I was taken in immediately by it. He was a very good dancer, and I wasn't really. But, since I was dancing with him I shared the same graceful movements he made.
After the first dance, we sat down and others began to dance to the other music. We sat around a while, and conferred with each other. I was so happy now, I became extremely flustered. Every word he spoke struck me with such merciless pleasure I couldn't stand it anymore.
"So, do you want…" I had to kiss him. Just one wouldn't hurt. I was too happy not to. I just wanted to let some of my overwhelming happiness out. I couldn't remember ever being this happy.
I then heard everybody go "Awwwwww" and I knew that it had been a good idea.
"What were you going to ask me? I'm sorry, I couldn't take it anymore. I'm just too happy."
"No, I understand because I feel the same way. Now, what I was going to ask you was do you want to go out on the balcony? I'm sure that the view is beautiful this time of the evening."
"Sure, why not? I love beautiful views. They are just so romantic and relaxing, you know? Liable to fill your heart with tranquility."
We went out onto the balcony and looked out on the entire city. The lights looked like small glowing pinheads in the spring night. I went to the railing and stood there, looking out into what seemed like the whole world. As I saw how beautiful and breathtaking it was, a tear streamed down my face.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm just so happy… I can hardly take it. I have never been this happy in my entire life, and I just don't know how to handle it correctly. I really want to be happy, but this is just too much for me. I can't take it."
"Oh, well at least you aren't crying because you're sad or upset. Look, I'm really happy too. I know you haven't been really happy in the past, but that's what I'm here for. I'm going to change all of that for you. You are going to be the happiest girl on earth."
He was so sweet! As he took me in his arms, I was ready to give myself to him. Not in the perverse sense, but the sense of staying with him for the rest of my life.
I was officially the happiest girl in the entire world.
