Chapter Ten: Pre-Prom Preparations
On the night of the prom, Johnny was playing chauffer for Bradin and Kaitlyn. He and Bradin pulled up at Kaitlyn's house a little early, and Bradin, dressed in a black suit with matching black tie and a charcoal gray button down shirt, walked to the front door, took a deep breath and rang the bell.
Mrs. Morranis answered the door, dressed in a very skimpy black dress and a bottle of vodka in hand.
"Whatta you want? I'm busy" she rasped
"I'm here to pick up Kaitlyn, I'm taking her to the prom" Bradin said cautiously
"Who's Kaitlyn?"
"Um...your daughter"
"Oh right...KID! Some blonde guy is here for you" she yelled
Meanwhile, Kaitlyn was up in her room, standing in front of her mirror. Taking a deep breath, she observed herself from head to toe once more, making sure she looked as close to flawless as she possibly could. She was wearing a floor length, silky, satin-like, dark green dress that had a shoulder only on the one side. She wore black strappy heels with her finger and toe nails painted dark green and a delicate black purse hung from a thin strap resting on her shoulder. Her red hair was long and loose, parted to one side and curled into large waves. Her eye shadow was smoky and a shimmering gloss covered her lips. Simple diamonds set in silver were in her ears, and on a necklace that met at the center of her throat with a piece of chain hanging straight down with the diamond on the end. The ring Bradin gave her sat on the ring finger of her right hand.
"I hope he likes it" she whispered to herself. The doorbell rang and before Kaitlyn could get to the stairs, she heard her mom answer the door. Doing one more check to make sure she had everything and looked Ok, she started to the stairs when her ever so eloquent mother screamed that 'Some blonde guy' was here for her. She headed down the stairs as fast as her shoes would allow.
Back in the front hall of her house, Kaitlyn's mom was intimidating Bradin.
"I don't like you. Go away!" Kaitlyn heard her mom saying as she finally descended the final steps and emerged into the hall.
"Mother, stop it!" she said harshly. "I've told you about Bradin, and you don't know him, so don't say you don't like him. Now, I'm going to the Prom with Bradin. I don't know what time I'll be home, have a good night." she said, loosing some of her nerve as she was stared down at by her mother. Quickly she grabbed Bradin's hand, and they walked out of the house.
"I am so so so sorry about that. I was gonna try and get down before you got here, but this whole hair and make-up thing is harder than it looks" she smiled up at him. "Forgive me?"
"Of course, and I must tell you, you are the most beautiful woman I have every seen. Everyone will flip when they see you"
Kaitlyn blushed, but took Bradin's offered hand again, and got into the car. She had to laugh at the way Johnny looked, in his denim shorts, plaid shirt, and black chauffeurs hat. Johnny gave a low whistle "Looking good Miss. Morranis, looking very good. Now, back to Ava's for pictures"
They both groaned, which made Johnny laugh evilly.
There was what felt like a million pictures taken, some with everyone's camera's, some of Bradin, then Kaitlyn, then together, then the corsage, then Bradin giving Kaitlyn the corsage, and so on. Once they were finally finished, it was time to leave.
Kaitlyn grew quite of the ride to the school, where the dance was being held.
"Hey, what's the matter?" Bradin said quietly
"Hmm? Oh, nothing, don't worry about it"
"You sure"
"Yeah, it's silly"
"That doesn't matter. I want to know what's bothering you, silly or not"
"I'm just kind of nervous. I've been to dances before, just never with someone, and I've never danced with someone before" she blurted before turning bright red.
"Aw sweetie, that's adorable" Bradin said
"I'm glad you see the humor in this, but I'm nervous. I'm gonna look stupid" she wailed softly
"Don't worry about it, just have fun. Dancing is easy. I can do it, so you can for sure" Bradin soothed as Johnny pulled the car up to the door.
"Ok, here we go"
A/N: Yay! I finally updated. Go me! (Tee hee hee) sorry for the wait everyone. I got swamped with schoolwork this week. Not fun. Oh well. So, this is the pre-prom chapter, and something someone said in a review got me thinking so it's time for another poll! yay! Anyway so since it was a tie for romance and drama, the prom chapters are the romance (Obviously, hee hee) so I want to know if you think that Bradin and Kaitlyn should be intimate anytime soon, or if they should just stay the way they are with the kissing only. Although I am against pre-marital sex, I don't care whether I put it into stories or not so it's up to you guys. Tell me what you'd like to see and I'll try and do it. Thank- so much for the wonderful reviews, keep them coming, you guys are my inspiration! Please reply soon so I can hopefully post the next chapter or two today or tomorrow!
Love, Ally
