Van sighed a deep sigh as he sat in one of his study halls. Normally he was extremely happy to be in this class because he could actually relax instead of listening to teachers go on and on about things that he'd have no need for later in his life.
He just sat there and listened as Amy went on and on with talking. "I bet you can't wait to see what dress I'm wearing!" she said excitedly. "Like I said before, despite you badgering, I'm not going to let you see it until prom night," she said with a grin on her face.
"I haven't been badgering you about it," Van said before her let out a yawn. "I'm sure it's a lovely dress but it doesn't bug me every night and day about what it looks like. I can wait," Van said leaning his head on his hand.
"Oh come on Van. Prom is in two days. The least you can do is be a bit more excited about it," she said before coming in close. "Who knows, maybe I'll let you take the dress off me later in the night," she said with a smirk but failed to notice the annoyed look that crossed Van's face.
"I might be more excited if certain things hadn't happened the way they have in the past few weeks. My mother just got out of the hospital for Christ's sake!" Van said a bit annoyed. 'Not to mention that Fiona's going with some dork!' he thought bitterly after seeing Thomas walking around a little too happy in the past few days.
"All the more reason for you to just enjoy it. You've been too stressed. I know a good way to relieve that," Amy whispered seductively into Van's ears so that no one else in the room would be able to hear her.
Van turned towards her and glared at her. "That's all you ever think of, isn't it?" he yelled at her causing the rest of the students and the teacher to turn in their direction. Van didn't seem to mind all the attention. Amy just wouldn't stop and it was really starting to get on her nerves.
Amy looked around and saw all the staring people and blushed in embarrassment. "Keep it down Van! No one really needs to know about our plans," she growled underneath her breath as the students and the teacher all went back to what they were doing before.
"What plans are you talking about exactly?" Van asked trying to play stupid. He could then imagine Irvine telling him that he didn't need to try and groaned. He knew he was stupid for going out with Amy in the first place.
"You know perfectly well what I'm talking about!" She nearly yelled drawing several peoples' attention towards them again. She groan in embarrassment and turned to see Van smirking. She growled and then turned forwards and starting scribbling in her notebook.
Van grinned in success. He knew that with someone like Amy. She could only get annoyed so much before she starts to ignore the person. Even if he would force himself to apologize later. For now, he just wanted to enjoy the peace and quiet that this gained him. Even if just for a little while.
Van groaned as he pulled into his driveway later that day. He wanted to see if he could find Fiona and pick her up but she just seemed to disappear after school. He knew that with Amy ignoring him that he'd be able to get more time in with her.
He stepped out of his car and walked into his house. He heard voice and walked into the kitchen to see both his mother and Fiona sitting there waiting for him. 'Good to see that you're better and at home mom," Van said as she got up and he gave her a hug. "How'd you get here before me Fiona?" he asked as she stood up and walked towards him.
"After you're father picked me up from the hospital, we both drove by the school and picked her up. It made sense now so we figured that we'd do something to help you two. Not to mention I want some pictures since the two of you aren't going to prom together," she said holding up a camera which appeared out of midair.
Van chuckled at his mother's one track mind. "I have no problems with that. But what would've happened if I came home with Amy instead of alone. That would've quite some explaining on your part," she said holding his ribs which hurt from his laughing.
"I thought of that but Irvine also informed me that you kind of ticked her off to such an extent that she hadn't been talking to you all day," she said now laughing herself along with Van. She wished that Amy wouldn't talk to Van for the rest of their life. That way Van could be free to do what he wanted.
"Want to give her what she wants Van? They had my dress brought over," Fiona said and she saw Van just nod his head. She smiled and walked up to where Van's said they placed her dress.
They apparently stopped by her house before the picked her up. Apparently, her mother wanted some pictures too. However, she was a bit busy to come but Van's mother said that she offered to take some pictures and take them for Fiona's mother. Fiona liked the idea. They wouldn't be able to get pictures before prom so now was the best time that she could think of.
For what felt like hours after that, picture after picture was taken in all sorts of poses. Fiona felt like she was going to end up going blind if it didn't stop soon and she knew that Van had the exact same thoughts in his mind.
Fiona fell flat on her bed exhausted after the hours of pictures taking and curled up deep into it. She stared at her right ring finger at the ring that Van gave her for her birthday. As she promised herself, she never took the ring off unless it was completely necessary and she had really had any reason yet to deem it necessary.
'Your promise. When will it ever be able to become real? I tire of waiting. No matter what, I'll continue to wait though. I just wish that things would just move a little faster,' Fiona thought with a sad sigh.
Fiona remembered a fuss that Amy put up when she first saw it. She threw accusation after accusation at Fiona. Saying stuff like she stole the ring since there was no way that she could afford it normally. Fiona smiled at her own reaction. She just turned and left infuriating Amy even more.
It seemed to Fiona that Amy was doing everything in her power to make Fiona do something to get into trouble. However, after her stunt after the naming of those on prom court, Amy couldn't do anything to Fiona without having the risk of being taken off prom court. That was the only thing that kept Fiona from doing anything.
'The years almost over and I won't have to worry about her after that. But what about Van? Will he be able to come with me or go with her to college?' she asked herself turning over and staring at a picture on her nightstand.
'We'll be together forever, won't we Van?' she asked herself as her finger lightly traced the outline of Van in the picture. It was on that was taken before the two found out that they were in love with each other but they were both so happy in the picture. 'Van doesn't smile like that anymore,' she thought as she picked up the picture and stared at it more carefully.
Fiona then placed the picture back on her night stand and curled up in her bed. 'I hope that you'll smile like that again some day,' she thought before she closed her eyes and fell asleep with a small frown on her face.
Dr. D opened his mouth as if to say something but the loud talking of the rest of the students stopped him. "You know, I've never seen a senior class look this excited about prom," Dr. D said the next day in class. He just couldn't get anyone's attention that day because they were all talking rather excitedly.
It didn't matter to him because the seniors basically had the day off although they did have to go to school, although he did have something to say to them. It was something that was required of most teachers to say. He just knew that they weren't going to listen.
"Quiet down!" he finally snapped and yelled causing every student in the class to close their mouth and look at him wondering why he had to interrupt them. They weren't supposed to learn anything that day.
"I know that all of you are eager to get out of here since it's a half day for seniors but I've some things to say," he said and then cleared his throat. He suddenly had a change of mind. "Oh never mind. You probably heard it from your parents anyways. Not like you'll listen to me about it after that. Just be sure to play it safe tomorrow," he said walking around and sitting behind his desk.
The entire class grinned. They knew what he was going to say since they all probably heard it from their parents in the last few days. A stupid speech about making the right choices and such. They were just glad that Dr. D summed it down because none of them felt like listening to the long boring speech again.
Moonbay leaned over towards Fiona to finish their discussion as to what their plans were for tomorrow before the prom. "So what are your plans? You can always come with me. I need to have something done with my hair anyways," Moonbay said to the depressed looking woman.
The more the prom was talked about, the worse Fiona felt about it. Sure Thomas was a good person to her but she didn't want to go with him. She wanted to go with Van. "Um… sure, I guess I can," Fiona muttered as she laid her head on her desk.
Moonbay sighed as she saw her friend's very unenthusiastic response. "Oh come on Fiona. You'll need to look better for when your crowned prom queen tomorrow," Moonbay said growing more excited at the thought of it bring Amy down a notch or two. The woman needed to be knocked off her high horse.
Somehow the woman she was thinking about managed to hear what she said and walked up towards them. "You actually think that she can win? Oh please, I'll be crowned tomorrow and she'll just run home crying. There's no chance that she can beat me," she said in her usual snotty voice.
"I personally think that she has the best chance of beating you tomorrow. Besides you, almost everyone in the school likes her. You'll be the one crying as you see that crown placed upon her head," Moonbay grinned and leaned back in her seat.
"Somehow I doubt that. In case you forgot, I was the one that won homecoming queen. She wasn't even nominated then. Just because she's been nominated, doesn't mean that she can possibly win," Amy said before she turned around and walked back to her desk which was next to the sleeping Van.
Moonbay scowled and then turned to Fiona. "Fiona, I swear, if you lose to her then I'll never forgive you. I want to make sure she loses and you win!" Moonbay growled out glaring at the Raven haired woman sitting a few seats ahead of her. Never before had she wanted to see the woman lose so badly.
Fiona just chuckled nervously but she knew that Moonbay didn't mean what she said. She knew Moonbay would forgive her… eventually. However, the thought of the prom queen was making her more and more nervous as it approached. The anticipation was absolutely killing her.
Before she was nominated, she didn't even think much about it. Now that she was nominated, she wanted to win the title so badly. Not just because it meant that she could beat Amy, although it was a very tempting reason, but because it allowed her to dance with Van no questions asked.
Fiona woke up the next morning when Moonbay came barging into the room excitedly. Fiona looked towards her alarm clock and groaned when it said that it was only eight in the morning. She preferred to sleep in when she didn't have school.
"Hey come on Fiona! You need to wake and get ready! I know your tired and so am I but you need to get up because we have a lot to do before prom tonight," Moonbay said but it didn't seem to have much of an effect. "You want to look nice for Van don't you?" Moonbay asked and chuckled when Fiona finally sat up. She then left the room so that Fiona could get ready.
Fiona slowly got out of bed and walked slowly to the bathroom. She took a nice warm shower for what felt like such a short time when in fact it was nearly thirty minutes before she got out. She looked and then remembered that she didn't bring any clothes with her so she just threw a towel around herself and walked out of the bathroom and into her room.
She pulled on a white t-shirt and a pair of shorts as well as her shoes and socks before she ran down the stairs where Moonbay was watching Saturday morning cartoons on the TV. "I'm ready Moonbay," Fiona called out making Moonbay turn off the TV and walk over to her.
"About damn time! I was beginning to wonder how long you were planning on staying in that shower," Moonbay grinned as the two of them walked out of the house and to a car that Fiona guessed Moonbay 'borrowed' from Irvine.
Fiona looked it over and couldn't help but chuckle. "Swiped his car didn't you?" she asked Moonbay who gave an innocent look. "Don't you think he might want to use it?" Fiona asked as she hopped into the passenger's seat.
"Not really. Last I checked he was still sleeping so I don't think he'll need it unless he plans to drive in his sleep. Not like he'll really need it though. We do. Besides, a left a note," Moonbay said as she drove away quickly.
Overall, Fiona found the day to be very relaxing. Moonbay took her out to a spa for a little while and then the two of them went to get their hair and nails done by a professional before they went back to Fiona's.
It was nearly two in the afternoon by the time they got back to Fiona's place. They immediately saw a rather angry looking Irvine as they drove into the driveway. Both knew that Moonbay was in for it from him.
"You just had to take my car didn't you?" Irvine asked before the two of them even got out of the car. The door was open though so he knew that they could hear him. Sure he didn't need it since he had everything her needed to do done the day before then. But he was still angry that she did. "What if needed it?" he barked at Moonbay.
Moonbay couldn't help the grin that spread across her face. "When he sees me, he'll forget all about this anger issue he has going," Moonbay said before she stepped out of the car. "Chill out Irvine. Fiona and I had more important needs," she said with a grin.
Irvine turned to yell at her but shut up when he saw her. Her normally pony tailed hair was now much more tamed and fell flat against her back. She looked absolutely stunning to him that he just couldn't help but gawk at her. She looked absolutely stunning in his eyes.
Moonbay grinned once again. "You can stop gawking. I know I look good," she said and laughed when she saw him shake his head to clear his thoughts. "Sorry about that but we needed a ride. You wouldn't want us looking bad for tonight would you?" she asked putting a frown upon her face.
"Oh fine! Lay the guilt trip on me," Irvine said grabbing his car keys from Moonbay and walking back to his car. He took a quick look at Fiona and nodded his head knowing that Van too was really going to like it. Her hair was in a bun at the top of her head with a few loose tendrils falling across her face.
He suddenly remembered that he had something else to say so he quickly turned to Moonbay and Fiona again. "Thomas and I'll be by at around five thirty, six o'clock to pick you two up. We'll head to dinner and then to prom," he said before driving off.
Moonbay laughed at Irvine's reaction to her again before she turned to Fiona and walked towards her and the door. "That means we have little time to spare Fiona," Moonbay said grabbing Fiona's hand and dragging her into the house. They still had a lot to do in the next few hours.
It seemed to be more work than they thought it would be to get ready. They had to somehow find a way to get their dresses on without messing up their hair which they luckily succeeded at. It was nearly five by the time that they finished putting everything one plus the light amount of makeup each of them wore.
'We probably would've been done a lot sooner if we hadn't been fooling around so much while getting ready," Fiona said as she looked at herself in the mirror and gave herself a nod of approval. She just knew that Van would like what she did for today. It was mainly for him even if she was going with Thomas.
"Probably. But at least it helped us waste the time before the two of them got there. Hey! Guess what I heard from Thomas yesterday," Moonbay said sounding a little excited. She just saw Fiona shrug. "We get to go in a limo to this thing," she said sounding more excited than before.
Fiona thought it sounded really interesting. She'd never been in a limo before so it sounded nice to try it at least once. "Did Van do it since he's the only one I know that can afford that sort of thing," she said as she sat on her bed as they waited for the two boys to show up.
"No, he's going separately. He wanted to 'drive down with Irvine' so that he could be with you but Amy wouldn't hear anything of it. So we're stuck going without him. Thomas said that he was the one that set it up so that we could go in a limo," Moonbay said as she straightened out a few things on her outfit.
"I feel bad for Thomas. He's trying so hard to impress me but I would still rather go with Van," Fiona said sadly. Sure she knew that Thomas liked her but she felt bad that she could also never be able to return his feelings.
"Just forget about it for tonight Fiona. By tomorrow, everything will end up going back to the way it was before all this prom fiasco," Moonbay said and smiled when she heard the doorbell ring. "They're early," she said as she heard Fiona's mother call for the two girls.
Fiona's mother Tricia sat across from the boys across from her. One of them looked and unhealthy pale color that made her worry a little. "Are you ok? You don't look to good," she said to Thomas as she clutched a corset in his hands.
Thomas jumped a little at the voice but settled down when he saw it was just Fiona's mother. "I'm fine," he muttered clearing his throat. 'Just nervous,' he thought pulling at the collar of his black tux.
To Thomas, he was most nervous about just being there. sure he'd been friends with Fiona since she first came here but this was the first time meeting her mother in person as well as actually being in her house. It was a little nerve-wracking to him but there was nothing he could do.
Tricia just looked at him quizzically for a moment before she shrugged her shoulders. She'd heard of Thomas before but she never met him in person and to tell the truth, she didn't really like him nearly as much as she did the first time that she met Van.
Irvine too was a little nervous but he didn't show it quite as much as Thomas. He'd seen Moonbay earlier of that day and just that small preview made him even more anxious to see what she looked like all dressed up.
The sound of footsteps coming down the stairs made the two men stand up and turn towards it just as Moonbay reached the bottom of the stairs. Irvine gapped even more than he did earlier that day at the sight of her.
"What do you think?" she asked with a grin as she twirled around in front of his. Her dress was a red one that went hung off her shoulders and went down to her feet. It showed a bit of cleavage but not a whole lot.
Irvine chuckled a bit. It looked like it cost a lot and he couldn't put it past Moonbay to be just that. She always did have a bit of a taste in expensive fancy clothes. "You look great. Come on, let's head out to the limo," he said holding out his arm to her and then when she looped her arm with his, the two of them walked out the door.
Thomas was even more eager than before. He had to admit that Moonbay looked good but to him, that must mean that Fiona looked ten times better. He was right too when he saw her come down the stairs a moment later. He liked a lot but he wished it was his favorite color instead, green. "Amazing," he muttered as he took a few steps forward and held out the corset. "I got this for you Fiona," he muttered with a blush.
Fiona looked at it and managed a small smile. "Thank you Thomas," she said as he slipped it onto her wrist. When she saw that he was holding out his arm to her, she grabbed a hold of it and walked out still wishing that it was Van that she could be doing this with.
Tricia watched her only daughter walk out and couldn't help the see the look of disappointment on her face. "It always sad to force yourself away from the one you love," she said thinking of her ex-husband. A man so caught up in his work that he never had time for his family. Ever since they moved there, the two of them probably had only a few words from him.
She turned and walked into the kitchen but took a look at a picture of their family taken only a few months before their divorce. She had to basically force him to take the picture even though he said he was in a hurry. "I actually feel better about leaving him though. I don't want Fiona to be disappointed," she said before walking out of the room.
Van couldn't help but be impressed with the way the huge place looked. The place was covered in streamers and balloons of the school's colors, white and blue. Dozens of table were scattered all over the room each covered in a light blue table clothes and in the center was a wide open area for people to dance in. The lighting was dim but there was still a good enough amount to see the place with.
Amy looked around the room and wasn't quite as impressed with their surroundings. "I think they could have done a lot better. My daddy donated money into this event just for me. The least they could do was make it a lot better," she said never being very impressed with it.
Van groaned in annoyance. "You're never impressed with anything unless you're involved," he muttered to himself hoping that she wouldn't be able to hear what she said. No matter what her reaction, he liked what they did with the place.
"What was that Van?" Amy asked thinking she heard him say something. She saw him wave his hand so as to forget it. She didn't feel like getting into it so she just let it drop thinking that it was nothing.
Van, Amy, and a few of Amy's friends all took a seat that was close to the stage. Van knew that it was just Amy's excuse to be on the stage before anyone else but didn't say anything about it. Van also couldn't help but notice that they were one of the first groups there.
Van looked around and frowned when he couldn't see Fiona there anywhere. 'Maybe for right now it's for the best. I'd hate to have to see Thomas hanging all over her,' he thought as he stood up and walked towards the punch bowl. "Want anything to drink?" he asked Amy as he left.
Amy stopped talking with her friends and turned towards him. She managed a weak smile because she didn't like that he interrupted her conversation. "Sure," she said before she turned back and continued to talk more.
Van walked over to the refreshment table and poured two glasses but just as he was about to walk back to the table, he caught a glimpse of a small group of four walking into the room.
He noticed that Irvine and Moonbay led the group into the big room and that Fiona and Thomas were walking behind them. Van nearly crushed the glass he had when he noticed that Thomas had his arm wrapped around Fiona. He was happy to see that she didn't look too comfortable with it.
Van nearly jumped when he saw that Amy was suddenly standing beside him. "Oh brother. Why did they have to show?" Amy growled out at the sight of them. "I always knew that the bitch had a taste for losers. This just proves it with how her and the dork are together," she said with a wicked sneer.
'Well excuse me for being a loser,' Van thought looking at her with a deadpan look. He was lucky that she didn't notice. "Here," he said carefully handing her the drink trying hard not to spill it on the silver dress she was wearing. He knew that she would kill him if he did that.
The silver dress went down to her feet and was sleeveless. It showed a decent amount of cleavage much to Van's distress. 'Probably trying to seduce me again,' he thought in annoyance. It was a nice dress but Van like Fiona's a lot better.
A fast tune started to play on the speakers and Amy brightened up. "Come on Van," Amy said finishing her drink and dragged him to the close to empty dance floor. She grabbed his arms and wrapped them around her. Her back pressed against his chest as she swayed to the music in an experienced way.
Van figured that he didn't have much of a choice and just went along with it. He quickly looked in Fiona's direction and saw her watching them and he grimaced. He hated doing this but he had to in order to keep her from saying anything bad about the night to her dad.
Fiona watched the dance between the two of them. 'Get yourself together Fiona. Not like he can do anything!' she thought angrily as she took the seat that Thomas pulled out for her. She was barely able to mutter a thanks to him as he took his own seat.
Thomas noticed her looking at something and turned to see Van and Amy dancing closer than any dance he'd ever seen. "I know, It's disgusting, isn't it?" he asked her and she just nodded her head without taking her eyes off of it.
Irvine and Moonbay looked at each other with a rather amused look on their faces. They could see the jealousy written all over Fiona's face and they couldn't blame her. They also felt bad for Thomas for believing what he did. She was more jealous than disgusted.
Irvine suddenly stood up and turned to Moonbay. He held out his hand to her. "Let's dance, shall we?" he asked with a grin as she took his hand. he then turned to Thomas and Fiona. "Come on you two!" he said with a bright smile.
Fiona stood up almost immediately but Thomas remained seated. "I don't like dancing to these songs," he said remaining firmly in his seat. He saw the disappointed look on Fiona's face but he didn't feel like making a fool out of himself for not being able to dance.
"Looks like I can't since I've no one to dance with," she said with a frown. Van was taken, and her date wouldn't dance even though she wanted to. This was one of the reasons that she didn't want to go to prom in the first place.
Moonbay just grinned and pulled Fiona from the chair. "Nonsense, just have some fun with us. Plus you don't exactly need a date for this type of dancing," she said wrapping one arm around Fiona's shoulders and the other around Irvine. "Come on you two," she said leading them to the dance floor.
Dancing always came quite easy to Fiona. Before she'd moved, she'd taken many lessons and was really good at it, or at least that was what she was told. It always felt so good to be able for her to just let loose and dance freely.
"You go girl!" Moonbay yelled seeing her friend immediately fall into the music and have a good time. She found it pathetic that Thomas wouldn't dance to anything but a slow song but she couldn't do anything about it.
Off to the side, Van was gawking at the fluidity of Fiona's movements as she danced. The woman he was currently dancing with seemed to be completely unaware of the direction that her boyfriend's attention was and just continued with her sensual yet faced paced dance. She was hoping that it would warm Van up for what she had planned for later that night.
She looked around finally and noticed that they weren't alone on the dance floor and noticed that Fiona was gaining a lot of attention for her moves. "She should learn how to dance properly!" Amy yelled angrily although she knew that Fiona was dancing like a professional but she refused to admit it.
Van didn't like the looks that were flashing through her eyes. "Don't start a fight with her. I don't feel like causing any problems tonight. I just want to have a little fun," he whispered into her ears and breathed a sigh of relief when she nodded but he just knew that she was reluctant to agree to his demands.
Amy suddenly grinned at a way to upstage Fiona. "Why don't we show her how to properly do this," she said as another song started and she went into a different style of dancing. It was similar to what Fiona was doing but seemed a little wilder and more unpredictable.
'Always has to try and be the best,' Van thought with a chuckle but he noticed, as well as Amy, that people either stopped watching or were watching Fiona a little closer. "Why don't we go sit down? I need a break," he said seeing her grow angry as he pulled her off the dance floor.
After several songs, Fiona finally decided to take a little break and walked back to their table where Thomas still sat alone. "Please don't tell me that you're just going to sit here the entire time," Fiona said with a sigh seeing this becoming a little boring. That was one of the reasons she didn't thinks he could ever feel for Thomas the way he did for her. He never tried anything new. Van was always willing to try new things, which is what attracted her to him more.
Thomas turned and looked at Fiona and gave her a weak smile. "I can't dance, so what's the point of going out there and humiliating myself in front of the entire senior class. They make fun of me enough as it is," Thomas said laying his head down upon the table.
Fiona groaned as she sat down in her seat. She liked Thomas as a friend but this really tended to annoy her quite a bit. She wanted to have more fun but her date wasn't really even trying to have any fun.
This was how it was for a while after that. Fiona finally got tired of it and stood up. "Come on Thomas! You came here to have some fun so do something besides sit down!" she said grabbing his hand and dragged him to the dance floor where an amused Irvine and Moonbay were waiting.
"Come on Fiona. I told you that I can't dance!" Thomas said as he tried to escape but it did no use since Irvine, Moonbay, and Fiona all blocked his path. He didn't see any other way out of his situation.
"Come on Thomas, it isn't that hard. All you have to do is just move a little," she said trying to get him started. She saw how stiff he looked and frowned. "Come on, loosen up a little. You're too stiff," she said and smiled when he did as she said. "Now just move you hips and arms a little. Here you got it," Fiona said seeing Thomas in what almost appeared to be a dance.
Van just stared on trying to suppress his own jealousy with how much attention Fiona was giving to Thomas to get him to dance. He now knew how he felt when she saw him dancing with Amy. Probably less though since Amy knew seductive type of dances.
"Look at that dork. He needs another dork to teach him how to dance. That guy looks stupid trying to dance from someone who doesn't know how to as it is," Amy said with a laugh almost rolling out of her chair.
Van just rolled his eyes. He never would get what Amy had against Fiona. He had to agree about Thomas being hopeless in dancing though. He continued to watch with half amusement, half jealousy as Fiona continued her hopeless campaign.
Fiona was really starting to see that Thomas really was close to hopeless at dancing. He seemed to unsure about each move and it made him look rather stupid as he attempted some moved but continued to screw up. She had to give him some points for trying though. She knew that this was hard for him as it was. She was determined to at least get him started on real dancing though.
Thomas finally grew a little frustrated at Fiona's attempts. "This is stupid. I can't dance so you should just stop trying," he said as he marched off the dance floor back towards their table. He could hear Amy laughing at him but he didn't hear much besides the music after that.
Fiona sighed sadly. She was only trying to get him to have a little fun. 'Is it so hard to just try and have fun?' she asked herself as Irvine, Moonbay, and her all walked back to their seats to rest their feet for a little.
"You know Thomas. Fiona was nice enough to go with you to prom. The least you could do is try and make her happy about it. You're not even trying!" Moonbay said angrily when she took a seat. She then stepped rather hard on his foot.
Thomas yelled in pain as he stood up and started to jump around a bit. "There! See? You're dancing!" Irvine felt like he just had to say as he watched Thomas bouncing around on one foot while massaging his other foot.
Fiona blushed in embarrassment at the antics of all her friends. 'I have weird friends,' she thought as she rubbed her head when a migraine started to form in it. She then looked up in time to see Van heading off on his own someplace. Neither Amy or anyone else seemed to follow him.
Fiona looked around her, Thomas didn't seem to be paying attention and Irvine and Moonbay were caught up in their own conversation. So Fiona stood up and quietly walked towards the exit that Van had just taken a few seconds prior.
Luckily for Fiona, no one seemed to notice what she was doing so all she had to do was keep her calm until she got out there. Several people waved at her but they didn't seem to have any ideas on what it was that she was going to do.
Exiting the ballroom, Fiona took a quick turn to the left, which is what she thought she saw Van taking, and continued to walk down what appeared to be a deserted corridor. All sorts of ideas came to Fiona about this.
After one more turn, Fiona nearly screamed when a hand wrapped around her waist and pulled her into the firm chest of Van. She then smiled and kissed him before he even had the chance to utter a single word to her. "I've waited all day to do that," she muttered after she pulled away.
"Same here," Van muttered capturing her lips once again as his arms tightened around her waist. He turned them around so that her back was pressed against the wall as he continued to kiss the beautiful woman before him. "How long would you say it'll be before they announce the prom king and queen?" Van asked looking at his watch.
A smile formed on her face. "It should still be about another twenty minutes or so. Let's just stay here while we wait. Hopefully, no one will end up coming to look for us," she said pulling him in hard. She didn't plan to let him go until she was forced to do so.
Thomas heard a slow song finally come on. It was the only type of song he knew how to dance to. He turned to ask Fiona if she wanted to dance but to his surprise, she'd vanished. "Fiona?" Thomas asked looking around but he didn't see her amongst the many students in the ballroom.
Thomas turned and looked towards Irvine and Moonbay who were having an argument about something he didn't really want to know. "Have either of you seen Fiona? She seems to have disappeared," he said as he looked around but still failed to see her. He just saw them shrug. 'I hope she'll be back soon,' he thought as he stood up. "I'll be right back," he said to them but they didn't appear to hear him.
Thomas walked out of the large ballroom looking for the bathroom but he completely forgot where it was. He just walked in no particular direction in all sorts of halls trying to find the place. 'Maybe I should've asked someone,' he though as he stopped and look around. 'There should've been one by now. Maybe I missed it,' he thought turning around but then he heard a noise.
It sounded like a moan and he turned and saw the outline of two figures pressed together in the shadows of a nearby hall. He couldn't see one of the figures but the other one looked like Van.
'Great! The last thing I need is to see him making out with the stupid girlfriend of his,' he thought turning around trying to get away quickly but he heard another moan and something about it struck him quick. 'That doesn't sound like Amy,' he thought turning to look again.
From what he could see, It was definitely Van that was there but the sounds made from the other person were definitely not that of his girlfriend. 'Is he cheating on his girlfriend? That ought to make for an interesting sight later,' Thomas thought amused until her saw a wisp of blonde hair and his blood ran cold.
'No, it couldn't be,' he thought praying to anyone that it was someone else. Then again, all the others were still in the ballroom. Fiona was the only person that he knew was missing from it right then. 'It has to be a mistake. Why would she?' he thought as he started to panic.
"Oh Van," he heard the other person moan and he finally got a clear look at her face. It was definitely Fiona. He couldn't believe his eyes as he watched the sight before him. His date was kissing the man that was supposed to be her mortal enemy's boyfriend. Someone that is supposed to hate her just as much as his girlfriend hated her. It also appeared that she knew what she was doing.
Thomas felt a tear slide down his face at the sight of it all. He thought this was his big chance. She agreed to go with him to the prom and he thought he'd be able to make her see him differently after that night. Now this happened.
Thomas turned around and began to walk away from the scene. He couldn't bear to watch the woman he loved kissing someone like Van. It was just far too much to stand. The strange thing was he didn't hate her but at the same time he just couldn't be around her at that moment.
Fiona came back to the table about twenty minutes later and was met with an amused looking Irvine and Moonbay. 'Hey there. Did I miss anything? Where's Thomas?" she asked noticing that he was nowhere to be seen.
"Did you enjoy yourself out there?" Moonbay asked with an amused stare. She'd seen Both Van and Fiona come back from a long absence. They came in separately but not too far apart. It wasn't hard to tell what they were up to.
Fiona blushed to the tip of her roots. She never thought she'd end up making out with Van in a public place like that. 'I find myself doing many strange things when I'm with him,' she thought as she chuckled nervously. "W-where's Thomas?" she asked again since her date had disappeared.
"No idea. Mentioned something about going somewhere and I haven't seen him since. Maybe he saw you and Van," Irvine joked not knowing how correct he actually was. He saw the worried look on Fiona's face as he said that. He wondered then if maybe it was true. "I'll go find him. I'll be back in a few," he said standing up and rushing out of the room.
He knew that if Thomas did see it, that he had to do something before Thomas said something. He knew that it shouldn't take that long to go to the restroom so he knew something was up and planned to find out if his thoughts were right.
It didn't take that long to Fiona Thomas. He was standing just out the doors looking like he was holding back many tears. "What's with you, why are you crying?" Irvine asked although he did have an idea why. "Did you see something?" Irvine asked stuffing his hands into his pockets.
"I'm not crying!" Thomas said wiping the tears from his face. He looked towards Irvine and saw the stern look at the other man's face. "What's going on between her and Van! I know that you know what I'm talking about!" Thomas yelled at Irvine.
"Sure I do. The simple answer is that Fiona's in love with him and he's in love with her," Irvine said deciding to just be blunt. Even if Thomas was hurt by it, he knew it would be for the best. "She went with you because he had to go with Amy," Irvine said keeping a stern look on his face. "Going to cry about it?" he asked with a smirk.
"I'm not crying!" Thomas yelled wiping more tears from his face. "How can she possibly love him! They're supposed to be enemies so how can they be lovers?" Thomas yelled out loud at Irvine.
Irvine was glad that everyone was inside and not listening to their conversation. "They've never been enemies. They've been friends since day one of her coming here. Up till now, all that you've seen between them was just an act they put on to appease Amy," Irvine said growing a little aggravated at how Thomas was acting.
"B-but I love her. Can't she see that? I've loved her all these years and she never gave me a chance!" Thomas continued to yell out. "It was him that I saw. He's the one I saw kissing Fiona when she was in the hospital, wasn't it?" Thomas said not wanting to believe all that he was being told.
"Most likely. That was around the time that they finally managed to say how they feel. Took them long enough to do it though," Irvine said with a smirk now realizing what was bugging Thomas when he came back to school afterwards. He'd been sulking for weeks and he only now learned why that was.
"I-I have to tell someone," Thomas blurted out absentmindedly before he was suddenly grabbed by Irvine and shoved against the side of the building. He flinched at the look in Irvine's eyes as well as the pain now surging through his back.
"Listen here Thomas. You may have a crush on Fiona but Van actually loves her," he growled out tightening his hold on Thomas's collar. "I swear, if you so much as say one word of what you saw or heard to anyone, I'll make your life a living hell. There more at stake than you think," Irvine said before releasing Thomas's collar before walking back inside.
Thomas shook slightly as he fell to the floor. 'Irvine knows about it, and Moonbay more than likely knows about it. Why is it that Fiona never told me about it? I've always been a loyal friend to her and she never trusted me enough to tell me of it,' Thomas thought as more tears threatened to fall down his face. "Why Fiona?" he asked himself.
Fiona looked up as Irvine once again took a seat at their table. "Did you find Thomas? Why hasn't he come back yet?" she asked with curiosity in her voice. Irvine just up and left looking for Thomas and it made Fiona worry.
"He saw you and Van Fiona," Irvine whispered just loud enough so that only Moonbay and Fiona can hear. With the music, no one else would possibly be able to hear what he was saying. "He's pretty upset but I had to make sure that he didn't blab it out to anyone," Irvine said sincerely.
A saddened look crossed Fiona's face at the mention of it. He was her friend and she didn't mean to hurt him. "Maybe I should go talk to him," Fiona said standing up and started to walk to the door before Moonbay grabbed her wrists.
"Hey wait Fiona!" Moonbay said looking at the clock. "What about prom king and queen. They're probably going to announce it any minute now. You can't just leave!" Moonbay said in a hushed yell.
"It's ok. I'll only be a minute. I at least owe it to Thomas to talk to him about it," Fiona said as she calmly walked out of the doors and then to the outside where Irvine pointed Thomas out just before she left them.
The first thing that Fiona saw when she walked outside was Thomas staring up into the night sky wit a disappointed look upon his face. "Thomas?" she asked in a quiet voice as she approached him slowly.
Thomas' head snapped in Fiona's direction and he gave a faint smile. "Oh hey Fiona," he muttered turning his head back towards the sky. "What are you doing out here? Don't you have the prom queen thing going on?" he asked as he took a seat on the ground again.
"I wanted to make sure you're alright. I may not feel what you wish I would for you but you're still my friend. I'm sorry you had to see that but I hope you can understand," Fiona said softly placing a hand on his shoulder.
"Maybe I understand. Why couldn't you tell me Fiona? Did you just not trust me enough?" Thomas asked sadly as he ran a hand through his sandy blonde hair. "Irvine and Moonbay knew but I didn't?" he asked her hitting the back of his head against the building.
"It isn't that Thomas. Irvine and Moonbay weren't supposed to know either. It accidentally slipped with Moonbay and Irvine found out on his own. Neither me or Van wanted anyone to know so that it would be easier to keep our secret. He has so much a stake with his relationship with Amy that he just can't get out of it even though he wants to," she said placing a hand on his shoulder. "Can you please keep this a secret Thomas?" she asked in a soft voice and gave a small smile when she saw him nod. "Thank you," she muttered to herself.
Thomas stood up and turned to Fiona. We'd better get back in there Fiona or you'll miss you coronation as queen," he said with a laugh as the two of them walked back into the building.
"You act as if I've already won," Fiona said as they walked back into the ballroom. She saw Van look their way and gave a smile to try and calm the jealousy that she saw in his eyes at that moment.
"That's because I'm sure that you're going to win. Everyone in the school likes you so I don't see how it could even be possible for you not to win," he said as they took their seats again almost just as their principle took to the stage and the entire student body fell silent, which was unusual because they're usually loud when he tried to talk.
"Greeting everyone, are you all having a good time tonight?" he asked them enthusiastically. It was unusual to the students to see their principal so happy. He was usually very stern during school.
There was an enthusiastic applause from everyone in front of him and he smiled at that. "I'm sure that you're all just dying to hear the announcement for your prom king and queen!" he said and there was even more applause than the last time. "Alright then. Will the candidates for king please come to the stage?" he asked and the four candidates stood up. Van and Irvine were among them.
Fiona looked towards Amy who looked even more anxious than ever. She had a look that said that she already won. She didn't even look the least bit scared of the fact that she still only had a twenty-five percent chance of winning. It was same for all of the candidates.
All of the men on the stage looked nervous. Van was too even though most of the school thought that he was going to be the one to win. 'Guess not everyone can be as calm as Amy,' Fiona thought as she watched the scene unfolding before her.
The principal took to the podium again and held a card in his hand. "You prom king for the senior class is…" he said pausing for a dramatic effect. "Van Flyheight," he said and the senior class erupted in applause even though almost everyone knew that it was bound to happen.
Van shook hands with the other three men and smiled brightly. The prom king from the previous year was also there and shook Van's hand as he placed the crown on Van's head as was tradition for their school.
The principal then cleared his throat. "Now will the candidates to prom queen please come to the stage," he said suddenly feeling a little nervous because of the fact that two of the candidates were known to hate each other greatly. He just hoped that they kept to themselves for the day.
Amy seemed to make sure that she had to be the first one to take the stage. She immediately went up to Van and kissed him to congratulate him. She had a posture of superiority when she stood next to the others. Two of which were her friends.
Each of the ladies was given a beautiful rose. Amy took hers proudly. All the others took theirs a bit timidly. Two of the ladies were actually nervous about winning because they thought that Amy would hurt them if they one. Fiona was more nervous than the rest because this is the biggest thing she had ever been in.
"My what a fine bunch of ladies we have here today. Since they all seem anxious to learn the results, let's not waist any time," he said unfolding an envelope and stared at it for a few moments. His face was devoid of all emotions making it impossible to tell what he was thinking. "Your prom queen for the senior class is…"
All of the ladies held their breath. Fiona hated the silence that seemed to take years when in fact it was only seconds. Van remained quiet but his stomach was churning on the inside. He was hoping that it would be Fiona.
Amy just smiled because she felt she already knew the results. She just about took a step forward when the biggest shock of her life came with the principles next words, "Fiona Alisi Lynette."
Amy paled greatly at his words. 'That can't be right! She can't possibly have beaten me!' she screamed in her mind as her eyes became filled with tears of rage. She had lost the highest position that she could possibly think of to her mortal enemy. 'It can't be right!' she screamed as she stormed past Fiona and down the stairs of the stage while nearly tripping over her dress in the process. She then ran out before anyone can say anything to her.
There was an applause for Fiona all over the place but the loudest seemed to be coming from her friends, most of it coming from Moonbay. Fiona was stunned, it all seemed like it had to be a dream that she was going to wake up from any second. 'Is this real?' she asked herself as she saw everyone applauding for her.
Despite losing, the other two congratulated Fiona unlike Amy who just left without another word. Fiona gratefully accepted it and then took a look at the real prize for the night, Van. She just couldn't believe her luck then as the crown was placed on her head by the previous prom queen and a large bouquet of roses were placed in her hands.
The place seemed to get quiet realizing just what it meant to have the two of them win. A dance between enemies. Or at least that what most thought but for two specific people who knew the two, they were happy that it happened this way.
Van kept a placid face as he held out his hand to Fiona. They had their traditional dance to do. He held back his smile as his queen looped her arm with his and the two of them marched off to the dance floor.
Fiona was able to hand over her flowers to Moonbay before she was pulled to the dance floor by an eager Van looking like he despised the idea of it when on the inside he was jumping for joy like a little boy going to the candy store. To have her as his queen was the best he could ever hope for.
Thomas leaned over towards Irvine after taking a look at Van. "Are you sure about that? He doesn't exactly looked too pleased with the idea of dancing with her," Thomas said only to get elbowed in the stomach by Irvine who happened to be watching the scene with interest.
Fiona got as close to Van as she could without raising suspicions and one of her hands entwined with his as the other was placed on his shoulder. She felt his hand on her waist and held back the smile at how they looked right then in front of everyone.
The music started to play and the two started to move in almost perfect sync with each other. "Congratulations," Van muttered so that only she could hear him. His mouth didn't even appear to move as he spoke.
"Congratulations to you as well. It almost seems too good to be real," Fiona said almost the same as Van as if her lips weren't moving. Nobody could tell that they were talking to each other that way. "I don't want this to be a dream. I don't want this to sudden end with me waking up in my own bed," Fiona said quietly as she closed her eyes and enjoyed the feel.
Van let off a small chuckle at what she said. "I assure you Fiona that this is very real. I'll give you more of this when I can. It feels so good to be together with everyone being able to see it,' he said as his thumb lightly stroked the side of her soft skin. He had to agree that this felt like a dream.
'Please let this dance go on forever. I don't think I can bear to let it end,' she thought giving his hand a squeeze. She felt him return that and smiled up at him slightly. "I love you," she muttered as a small tear fell from her eyes.
"I love too, so much that it hurts. My father will find something Fiona. It's only a matter of time," Van said taking in the addicting smell of Fiona's perfume. He could hear the song slowing down a bit and he held onto Fiona's hand even tighter. He did not want the dance to end.
Fiona was depressed when she heard the song come to an end. It meant leaving Van behind for the rest of the night and each of them going back to their dates. 'Life's unfair,' Fiona thought as she reluctantly pulled away from the man she loved.
Van took a step or two back without turning around and took a quick look at Fiona before turning around and walking towards the doors to try and find Amy before she did anything rash.
Fiona walked back to her seat and collapsed into her chair with a groan. It was becoming more and more painful to see him have to leave her side to walk back to Amy. 'I hope you're right Van,' she thought as she massaged her temple while the rest of the students got back to their dancing.
"You were amazing Fiona!" Moonbay said running up and hugged Fiona to death. "You won, you beat her! You should've seen her running off crying. I never thought I'd be able to see the day that she cried. I guess losing the title was too much for her!" Moonbay said excitedly as she sat in the seat next to Fiona.
"Thanks Moonbay," Fiona said with a smile as she took off the crowned and stared at its beautiful design. "I still can't believe I won. Did she really cry?" Fiona asked not believing it possible but in a way glad. The woman needed to be taken down a notch and hopefully this would do the trick.
"Yeah! She also nearly tripped on her way down the stairs. I took a picture if you want to see it later," Moonbay laughed more as she took a drink that Irvine came back. "So how was the dance?" she asked with a mischievous look on her face.
"Everything I dreamed it would be. I'm afraid that I'll wake up any second. So if I am asleep. Juts try and let me keep it that way," Fiona said and smiled when she heard Moonbay burst out in laughter.
"Good to know," Moonbay said taking a sip of the drink in her hand. :I think someone spiked the punch bowl," she said with a grimace as she placed the drink onto the table. "So after this we're going to head down to the after party!" Moonbay said happily before she was once again pulled to the dance floor by Irvine.
Fiona took a look around her at the several students that were already at the lovely house that was situated next to a beautiful lake. It looked beautiful being bathed in the moonlight that shown down from the full moon high above their heads.
She had changed out of the beautiful dress and was dressed in a black skirt and a pink tank top. Her hair was down in her usual style but it seemed a bit curly from being in the style it was for so long.
Irvine and Moonbay walked behind her as she walked up to the house. Thomas wasn't there though because he was unable to come to the after party. He said something about his parents wanting him home by a certain time that night. Fiona remembered Irvine poking fun of Thomas for that.
The rest of the prom had been great for her. She had fun talking with all her friends and even snuck out a few times and was able to talk with Van for a bit. The best thing was that she hadn't heard anything from Amy after the announcement of prom queen.
The strange thing for Fiona was that she hadn't even seen much of Amy after that. Amy popped in every once in a while but she seemed to be avoiding Fiona. Fiona suspected Van had something to do with that. She thought that even if Van tried that Amy would try something but she never did.
Fiona was still trying to grasp the fact that she won it. She never thought that she would even be nominated but she was and she won. She beat her worst rival and got to have that dance with the love of her life. For that, she was the happiest.
"I must say that whoever threw this did a good job," Moonbay muttered looking at all the neat things that the place had. "Who's place is this anyways?" Moonbay asked looking towards the lake.
"Van's," Irvine said making Moonbay look at him in surprise. "His family apparently does have a great deal more money than I ever thought. They have that big mansion, the cabin in the mountains," he said looking at Fiona since she was there. "And apparently this is one that Van's father had built not too long ago. I like this one the best though," Irvine explained as they walked into the house.
Fiona turned and smiled when she saw that Van was already here. It also appeared that he was alone. 'I thought that Hiltz was making Van do whatever his daughter wanted. Something Van wasn't too happy about,' she thought glad that things might not go as both of them thought.
"Hey Van!" Irvine yelled over to him and made Van look in their direction with a grin. "Where's Amy? She feels so bad about losing that she can't show her face?" Irvine felt like he just had to add that in. Wouldn't surprise him either if it was true.
Van shook his head but from what Fiona could see, there was a small chuckle to it. "Not really. She passed out at her house. After losing, she got too into the punch," Van said and he saw Moonbay grimace. "She's was tipsy when we left and started drinking some wine afterwards. Passed out a little while after that," Van said trying to hide his amusement at the situation.
"I thought that drink tasted funny. Someone definitely must've spiked it," Irvine said before him and Moonbay burst out in laughter. "At least we won't have to worry about her ruining the party by picking a fight with Fiona for winning," he said stifling his laughter a bit.
"Yeah I guess," Van said in a bored tone like he usually had to when talking about Fiona. 'Hiltz wasn't too happy about it either. Thought I did it on purpose. I couldn't even find her until we left and even then I couldn't stop her,' he thought with a laugh. 'It works though. He didn't get what he intended. I still don't get why he wanted me to do that though. Unusual for a parent to say that,' Van thought as he took a seat on the couch as Moonbay and Fiona headed off somewhere.
"So how did Hiltz take it when he saw his precious daughter intoxicated and passed out?" Irvine had to ask with a grin. He could just imagine it in his head what happened so he figured that he might as well ask.
"Not too well. I think what pissed him off more was that he couldn't blame me for it. He wanted me to do whatever Amy wanted but since Amy passed out before what he had in mind, it didn't go as planned. Although he did blame me for her losing. What can I do about it? I only had one vote," Van said leaning back in the seat.
Irvine lowered his voice to say what had had to next. "Even then, your vote didn't sway the way he wanted," he said chuckling and he was soon joined by Van as he nodded her head in agreement.
"Guilty as charged on that one. Just don't tell him or I'll never hear the end of it," Van said before he stood up and went to talk to several of the other students who were finally starting to arrive at the place.
"Looks like we'll have our hands full," Irvine said as he took a look at some of the things that some of the people were carrying. Irvine got up and walked towards the window. "Not as many as I thought there'd be. Most look like they want to go at it," Irvine said seeing many people making out outside the house.
"Let them do that someplace else. That's why I locked up all the rooms. My parents wouldn't appreciate everyone going at it in this place. It's still brand new," Van said with a roll of his eyes.
"Probably wouldn't have stopped Amy. Almost everyone knows what she had planned for the night. Good thing she passed out before she got here. What about you and Fiona?" he just couldn't help ask the last part. He'd seen Van and Fiona together at times. It seemed like they were only holding back the inevitable.
Van flushed a deep red at the mention of it. "S-she's not ready I think. Why push for something more in a relationship that I'm more than happy with as it is?' Van asked as he took a few deep breathes. He wasn't feeling too comfortable with the subject since it was Irvine he was talking about it yet.
"Whatever you say," Irvine said standing up. "Hey, do you know where the two ladies went? I can't even remember them walking off," Irvine said as he looked around but couldn't catch sight of them.
"No, I don't think their in the house though. Check outside. They probably want to be out on this lovely night. Check out on the shore. Fiona always liked being in that type of area," Van said standing up as well. "Tell Fiona I said hi since I won't be able to talk to her until these guys leave," Van said exiting in a different direction.
The party was in full swing only a few minutes after they all arrived. The music was blaring and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves even more than before now that they didn't have all the formality and rules they had during their prom. They enjoyed it but they still had to follow school rules during it.
By midnight, people were still fooling around but it was starting to get much smaller as people started passing out from the alcohol that mysteriously made it's way into the party. Van knew that he didn't bring it.
It was nearly one when Van decided to take a quick walk down to the shore. He didn't expect much since nobody seemed to be out there right then. For some reason, he wasn't surprised when he saw a lone figure standing along the shoreline. "Fiona/" he quietly called out.
Fiona turned and gave a bright smile to Van. "Aren't you supposed to be back in there with the rest of the class?" she asked as she curled her feet into the soft sand beneath her. She just sat there and stared out at the reflection of the moon in the lake. "They might come looking for you and see us together," she said with a half smile.
"Most of those drunkards are already passed out or have already left. It's been an eventful night so most are a bit tired already," Van said as he took a seat next to her and interlaced his hand with her.
"Yeah, it has been eventful. Seems like something out of a dream. It's all been perfect. I wouldn't think about changing anything unless I could make you my date," she said squeezing his hand tightly. She had never been so relaxed in her life up till this point. She loved everything about the night.
"I'd say the nights been perfect also my queen," Van said and was glad when she just smiled at his words. He leaned over and laid a kiss on her forehead. "A kiss for my queen," he said taking her mouth with his own after he said it.
"And one for my king," she said kissing him once again. She was just glad that Amy wasn't there to ruin the moment for them. If she was, Van wouldn't be able to get away and would've had to do something that he didn't want. It was another benefit to her ultimate victory over her.
Van then grabbed her and pulled her so that she was closely pressed to his side. He was glad that it was dark enough so that even if someone was awake, they'd never be able to see the two of them. "I don't see how it can get any better," he muttered and he pressed his lips to her head.
Fiona looked at Van as a smile crossed her face. She laid her head down upon his shoulder and closed her eyes in bliss. 'Perfect, that's what this is. Maybe it is the perfect time,' she thought as her cheeks started to burn a little.
Her head lifted off of Van's and her turned his head to look at her and he saw her staring at him. It sent a strange feeling into his stomach to see that look on her. "Fiona?" he asked in a choked whisper trying to figure out if that look meant what he thought it did.
Fiona leaned her head up and captured his lips. 'I think I'm ready for it this time,' she thought to herself sending him her message through the kiss they were engaged in. never before had she thought she'd want something like that so badly. 'It just seems so right,' she thought as she backed away from him.
Van just seemed to know what Fiona was asking from that kiss. He gave her a quizzical look and nearly jumped when he saw her nod her head. "Now?" he asked her really shocked. Then again, she told him once that she wanted her first time to be special. As long as she felt it was the right time, she didn't care.
Fiona blushed as she looked at him. She saw the concern in his eyes. "I-is there a problem with it?" she asked worried that he didn't feel the need for it then. She loved him with all her heart and she actually wanted this.
Van looked deep within Fiona's eyes before he grinned. "No," he said before he captured her lips. He then pulled away and stood up. "Not out here though. Come back to the house. I'll be waiting there for you if you still want to," he said turning and walking back to the house.
Fiona waited only a minute before she got to her feet and basically rushed back to the house. She knew where to go and navigated through the halls until she came upon a room and opened it. No sooner had she done that when she was assaulted by Van's lips.
Without breaking the kiss, Van kicked the door close and locked it before he started leading her towards the bed. He didn't feel any hesitation from the woman. He didn't have any either.
The two of them fell back onto the bed. Van rolled them over so he was on top of her. He stared down at her with a silent question. Fiona's only response was that she caressed his cheek before bring him in for another kiss.
Irvine and Moonbay walked out onto the beach after all the rest of their fellow classmates were either gone or passed out on the floor or any of the couches. There were even some that had passed out outside.
Moonbay sat upon a hammock that she set up earlier that night to be able to relax a little. "Hey, where'd Van and Fiona go? I haven't seen either of them for a while," she said laying down and staring up at the stars on the cloudless night.
Irvine did the same as Moonbay but in a separate one and just closed his eyes and relaxed. "No idea. Last time I saw him was just after we got here. The same can be said for you about Fiona. My guess is that they're off somewhere by themselves. They never do get enough time together," he said placing his hand behind his head.
"It's nice knowing they're getting more time together lately. Amy was always bitchy and annoying. It's no wonder they hardly get the time together that they deserve," Moonbay said with a yawn. She'd had so much fun that night that she just felt so worn out by then.
"Better get some sleep Moonbay. We're going to have a lot of drunkards with hangovers to drive home tomorrow," Irvine said before his breathing evened out and he eventually fell asleep.
Moonbay knew that Irvine was right. She looked up at the stars once more. "It feels nice just laying here under the stars. It so peaceful compared to other places," she said before she followed Irvine into the world of dreams.
The two of them just laid there the next morning. Both were too comfortable to want to wake up that they just remained like that in silence for a long time. Getting up would mean ending the perfect night and going straight back to reality. It would be even more nostalgic than parting after their dance from the night before.
Van just laid there with his eyes closed with his fingers gently brushing through Fiona's beautiful blonde hair. Her scent was all around him and it made him feel relaxed more than he had ever been in his life. He had no regrets from the previous night and he was sure that Fiona didn't either.
Fiona curled up next to Van with a smile on her face. She was still half asleep but she refused to fully awaken. She was in bliss. Sure she was a little sore but she felt that it was worth it for her first time with Van. It was her first time and it was definitely the best feeling she ever had. "What time is it?" Fiona asked refusing to open her eyes.
"Too early. So just go back to sleep. I don't want this to end," he said kissing the top of her head and then to her lips which she eagerly return with just as much passion. "How you feeling?" he asked her hoping that he hadn't hurt her the night before. It was just as new to him as it was to her.
Fiona just smiled and laid her head on his chest in a more comfortable position. "Sore but otherwise I feel great," she muttered as she grew even more tired. "So let's just stay here for a little while longer," she said in an exhausted voice. "A little longer," she repeated with a bright smile on her face.
Van was all too happy to agree as he kissed her forehead and breathed in her scent once more. This was the type of night that he didn't want to share with anyone other than Fiona. With her, it all came so naturally to him. He was now more determined than ever, if it was even possible, to break from his chains and be with her like this forever.
Fiona smiled more at his lightest touch and buried her head into his chest. She took a deep breath and fell back asleep with one last thought on her mind. 'That truly was the perfect end to a perfect night.'
