Unknown To You: Destiny

His eyes blinked open slowly. He could make out Kori's beautiful face; her oval green eyes firmly shut; her red lips pursed together and her auburn hair spread all over her pillow. He looked around the room. He was confused. Clothes were strewn everywhere. He looked towards the door. His jeans were there; so was his t-shirt; and Kori's dressing gown. He looked at the next piece of clothing; a black lacy corset. Suddenly, it triggered in his mind. The events from the last night replayed themselves in his mind. He couldn't believe it. Funnily enough, he smiled as he reminisced. He felt a movement next to him and glanced over. Kori stretched out her arms and smiled at him.
"What time is it?" she groggily asked him. Richard didn't know. He hadn't bothered checking. He looked over at the clock on his table.
"CRAP!" he shouted. Kori looked over at the clock. Her eyes widened as well. Soon, all chaos broke loose in the Grayson bedroom. Not only was it 1:25pm, they had 20 minutes left to get ready to go out shopping. Kori ran towards the bathroom, grabbing her dressing gown at the same time. Richard got dressed in his t-shirt and jeans from the last night and started cleaning up the barrage of clothes from the floor. Kori darted out of the bathroom and Richard dashed in. She got dressed into clean clothes and started putting on her make-up. 3 minutes later, Richard raced to the closet and changed into some clean clothes as well. The two took a breath and looked at the clock. 1:37pm.
"Not bad," said Richard, after catching his breath. Kori nodded in agreement and linked her arm into his. They walked down the stairs together, each smiling at their hectic morning. They couldn't wait to share some more of them...
"Where have you two been?" quizzed Vic as soon as Richard and Kori entered the kitchen. It had seemed that everyone else had been ready for a long time. The couple blushed slightly and took a seat. By 2pm, Richard and Kori had devoured breakfast...well, lunch, and the friends were on their way to the Gotham Mall. Upon entering, the girls had all dashed off together, leaving Richard, Vic and Gar standing by themselves in the middle of the huge building. They all looked at each other.
"Now what?" asked Richard. They all smiled at each other.
"FOODCOURT!" they all exclaimed, rushing towards their destination.
At 4pm, the girls finally found the boys in the food court, their table full of empty food containers.
"Come on!" scolded Karen, grabbing Vic by the collar. Kori and Rachel did the same and the friends left the mall, with 2 hours to get ready and their boyfriends / fiancees in their hands...literally.
Richard looked anxiously at his watch. 5:15pm. If they didn't leave soon, they'd be late. All three boys had opted for the same tuxedos they had worn for the november dinner date, each keeping their hairstyle exactly the same. After all, they were only guys. What more could they do with their hair? Soon, the sound of heels was heard on the marble stairs and all three boys lifted their heads. Their jaws dropped to their feet.
The girls stood in a line at the bottom of the stairs, posing with their fans as if they were exquisite japanese dancers.
Karen shined in a shoulder strap gold dress, reaching just above her feet and very tight-fitting. On her feet were gold sandals with a slight heel. Her hair was tied into a princess bun, held back with a silver crystal clip and the gold shimmering eyeshadow made her glitter. The gold heart earrings and gold matching necklace dazzled in the light being shone from the chandeliars and her gold coloured fan completed the look.
Rachel stood in the middle, wearing a strapless dark blue dress. She wore dark blue sandals, just like Karen's, that had a slightly bigger heel. Her eyes were surronded with dark blue eyeshadow, making her look like an egyptian queen. Her blue star earrings and sapphire encrusted ring gleamed from her white skin and her hair was in a messy bun being held up by a bluebell hair tie.
Kori was dressed in a red halterneck floor length ball gown. A bow was tied around her waist, making her seem slimmer and the dress was very figure hugging. Red strappy stilletos were tied onto her feet and the red dangly earrings and red necklace made her skin glow. Her lips were coloured in pale red, almost a dark pink, and her eyes were lightly shaded with some red eyeshadow. Her hair was tied into a ponytail and fastened by a red rose hair tie.
After a few moments of gawping, the guys walked towards their dates and took their hands. The girls willingly accepted and soon, the friends were on their way.
At 6pm, the white limo had finally reached their destination. The friends gracefully got out of the limo and they all gasped. They were in front of another mansion, even bigger than Bruce Wayne's. They looked around them; the gravel driveway must have been at least been a mile long, or so it seemed, and a huge fountain ws situated in the middle of the green grass. Expensive cars lined the driveway and patches of beutifully kept flowers dotted the grass. Finally, they decided to ring the doorbell and enter into the house.
"Good evening. May I see your invitations?" asked a rather large bouncer. Richard fumbled around in his tuxedo pocket and presented six invites. The bouncer checked over them and stood to the side of the door.
"Enjoy your evening," he replied. The friends slowly made their way in, unsure of where to go. As if by chance, a butler was waiting for them, obviously having been assigned to lead them towards the ballroom.
"Follow me," he commanded in a rather emotionless voice. The group followed him around the large house; it was almost like a maze. Moments later, the butler opened a pair of white oak doors and gestured for them to enter. The couples made their way in, hand in hand. The room was lit with huge chandeliars, like Bruce's, but much bigger and there were a lot more of them as well; classical ball dancing music was being produced by a band and a whole range of different food was laid out to the side. A few people were already dancing on the floor, including Bruce and some other lady. The friends went down to join them and they began to dance. After an hour, the ballroom had gotten pretty crowded and the teens had decided to take a break. However, one couple was missing from the group; Richard and Kori. Where were they?
"My princess," he whispered. The two stood on the balcony by themselves, no-one there to interrupt them or to disturb the peace between them. Kori looked up at Richard and smiled lovingly at him. He had helped her so much over the last couple of months. He had always been there for her. She smiled again. Richard chuckled. Kori was always smiling her beautiful smile. She was happy now; she deserved to be happy. As if by immaculate timing, the two leaned their heads in and kissed softly on the lips. They parted and smiled at each, happiness beaming off of them both. They knew then that they were definetly meant for each other.
