Hand
in hand we walked into normally what was the cafeteria. Cafeteria no
more. Now it was a dance floor decorated with white Christmas lights,
a mirror ball, and the techno beat bouncing.
Maron was dancing
with Krillin and actually wasn't looking pissed. Considering how they
were dancing, I doubt anyone could really be upset if it were with
the right person.
The music faded away and a new song struck
up, much slower than the last. Many people groaned. Goku held out his
hand to me.
"Will you dance with me?" He asked.
My
heart was pounding in my throat so I swallowed hoping it would go
back down. I nodded.
He wrapped his arms around me and held me
tightly. I wasn't worried that we were to close. I knew that this is
what I was missing.
Lying here with you,
Listenin' to the rain,
Smiling just to see
The smile upon your face.
And these are the moments
I thank God that I'm alive.
And these are the moments,
I'll remember all my life.
I've found all I've waited for,
And
I could not ask for more.
I fell into his grasp. I was no
longer Chi-Chi. I was now part of one body made by the both of us. We
moved together, breathed together.
Looking in your eyes,
Seeing all I need.
Everything you are,
Is everything to me.
These are the moments,
I know heaven must exist.
And these are moments,
I know all I need is this.
I have all I've waited for.
And
I could not ask for more.
I felt sick. A good sort of
sick, so I knew it wasn't the chicken that I ate at dinner. I looked
up into his eyes.
I could not ask for more than to be stuck
together.
Could not ask for more than be stuck with you.
Every prayer has been answered,
Every dream has come true.
Right here in this moment,
This is where I'm meant to be,
Here with you,
Here
with me.
We smiled at each other, and our foreheads became
pressed together. I felt stares coming our way. I know no one would
expect the relationship between me and him. He was a devil, I was the
perfect devout Christian's kid. We complement each other
perfectly.
These are the moments,
I thank God that I'm alive.
And these are the moments,
I'll remember all my life.
I've got all I've waited for,
And
I could not ask for more.
For the first time in my life, I
was in love. I was falling in love with Goku, my childhood
playmate.
I could not ask for more than to be stuck
together.
Could not ask for more than be stuck with you.
Every prayer has been answered,
Every dream has come true.
Right here in this moment,
This is where I'm meant to be,
Here with you,
Here
with me.
Could not ask for more than the love you gave
me,
Because it's all I've waited for.
And
I could not ask for more.
The song faded away and Goku
spun me around. I smiled. Homecoming night was cool.
"Okay
y'all listen up!" The DJ said over the microphone. "Time to
announce the Homecoming King and Queen!"
Everyone cheered
loudly.
"Our King this year is." He paused. "Goku
Son!"
I looked at him. He looked equally shocked.
"How
come you didn't tell me?!" I yelled over all the cheers.
"I
didn't even know! Maybe someone told me, but I was so worried about
asking you to this dance I didn't even notice!" He yelled
back.
Nevertheless, Goku walked up on the stage and accepted
the 'honor'. Maron and I found each other and we giggled madly.
"Now
the Homecoming Queen... Bulma Briefs!"
The applause
wasn't nearly as heavy for her. I looked to see her rushing up to the
stage. Her dress contained a dangerous amount of spandex and
polyester. It was a red halter style dress with nothing holding it up
except her own cleavage. Her hair was piled on top of her head. The
make-up seemed to never end. I wondered how many layers she could put
on her face.
"Whore! Slut! User!" Maron shouted at
the top of her lungs.
I laughed until I thought I was going to
throw up. I joined in too. She heard us and glared.
"Does
the homecoming royalty have anything to say?" the DJ asked
holding out the microphone. Bulma snatched it away.
"I
wanna thank everyone who voted for me and thank the basketball team
for making me totally popular! I also think some credit should go
toward myself for getting rid of the two people who were keeping me
down! Without them, I stand here and become Homecoming queen!"
She said triumphantly.
"Bitch!"
Goku slowly
took the microphone. "Uh can't top that speech." He laughed
put covered it with a cough. Everyone else laughed too. "I just
want to say thanks I guess. I just wish I would have been more
attentive because I can't even remember being told I was nominated.
But hey, It was worth it." He flashed a smile toward me. I held
onto Maron's shoulder. I was about to collapse.
"Thank
you royalty!" The DJ said. "Now time for the customary King
and Queen dance."
Crap. I forgot about this part. What
was he going to do? Sweep her off her feet like he did with me? Was
he going to leave?
Neither really. They danced for the
required 3 and a half minutes. Goku tried to break into a run when
the song ended, but she had a hold on his tie. He bounced back and
she planted a huge kiss on his lips.
People stared from me to
them. Back and forth. Something in my head snapped.
I barged
through the crowd. I pushed her away from Goku and slapped her,
mustering all the strength I could manage.
"You missed
your chance." I said to her in a surprisingly calm voice.
She
came back at me. Just as I raised my hands in front of my face, I
heard a skin against skin kind of clap.
I opened my eyes. Goku
held her wrist.
"Leave us alone. You have your own date."
He shoved her wrists away. I heard her growl under her
breath.
Everyone stared in silence.
"Play Mambo
number 5!" Someone shouted in the back. The DJ shrugged and ten
seconds later Latin beat jammed the dance floor.
We left at
midnight. He walked me to my door then stopped and took my
hands.
"Thank you." He said.
"What do
you mean?" I asked.
"You showed me I was right."
He said.
I guess a still looked puzzled. He pulled me closer
and we kissed passionately, with tongues battling.
"I
thought I loved you." He whispered into my ear. "And I was
right."
He kissed my cheek and started walking down the
sidewalk back to the limo. He turned and faced me. "Goodnight
Chi-Chi." He continued walking again.
