A/N I just wanted to do something really out there and different. I'm taking a lot of circumstances and just lumping them together in…High School…Let me know what you think!
High School Drama
Chapter 5
Fran promised her mother that Max would pick her up at the house for the Winter Formal. Chastity's father insisted that he speak with Niles before this big event. It was up to the boys to figure out how exactly to do both.
Friday at school was a pretty easy day for seniors. They'd already finished their mid-term testing and most had long since finished with their College Board exams. The 'fabfour' were sitting together in a corner of the gym because Mr. Keel and Ms. Foster just couldn't let anyone leave early to get ready for the dance, which handily enough was being held at The Hotel Pennsylvania in one of their banquet rooms. The Prom would be held there at the end of the school year as well. Chastity made easy work of reserving two rooms and she and Fran had checked them out earlier in the day week. They both decided to wear their hair up keeping a few sparse locks hanging loosely to frame their faces.
Max and Niles dressed and their host parents took a few photos before they climbed into the car to retrieve the ladies. They four decided that they would swing by and get Fran first so her Mother could take a few photos and dote on Max just a little. Max and Niles stood in the small living room desperately avoiding the plastic covered sofa and Max held tight to the pale lavender orchid he's chosen for Fran. He was dressed in a basic tuxedo with a boutonnière of tiny lavender flowers. When Fran finally came up the hall Niles smiled and Max literally gasped. Fran was wearing a deep purple floor length gown that had a deep scoop neckline and tight fitted sleeves. It fit her curves well without being too extreme and had a slight slit to just above the knee.
"You look amazing." Max whispered when she came to stand next to him.
Fran smiled at him and Niles. "You clean up pretty good yaself, mista."
"Frannie, Max…say cheese!" Fran's Mom snapped a few dozen photos.
Finally while they could still just barely see Fran stopped her mother. "Ma! We still have to pick up Chastity!"
"Frannie, are you sure you girls don't want to stay here tonight?" Sylvia Fine was a loud and generally crass woman, but she loved Fran and her sister, and if pushed, Chastity as well. "You know how Chastity hates going home after dances to deal with that brother of hers."
"My stuff is already over at Chastity's Ma." Fran kisses her mother good bye and opens the door.
Max and Niles say their polite good-byes and follow Fran out of the apartment. "I hope that Chas doesn't think we've forgotten her." Niles offered as he glanced at his watch.
"Please, Niles, Chastity knew ya's were comin' here first. She knows my ma would keep us as long as possible." Fran patted Niles on the back. "You look really handsome there too, Niles."
Niles winked at his friend. "Thanks Fran. You look really beautiful. Purple is definitely your color."
They pulled up in front of Chastity's house and Niles took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "I hope I survive this."
Niles, followed closely by Max and Fran for moral support, rang the bell. Stuart Babcock wasn't a scary man, unless you were there to pick up his teenage daughter for a date or big formal dance. "Niles, my boy," Chastity's father began. "It's so good to see you again. And look who you've brought with you. Francine, Angel, it's been too long."
"Hi, Mr. Babcock. This is my boyfriend, Max Sheffield." Fran introduced Max and took some of the pressure off of Niles who oddly seemed a little nervous.
Stuart called up the stairs. "Chastity your young man is here!" Stuart turned back to the kids. "Tell me what do you have planned for after the dance?"
"Well, Sir," Niles started. We may go to the diner for dessert. I understand many of the kids do that. But Max and I promised the girls we'd take them Christmas shopping tomorrow to New Jersey and I think they hope to get an early start."
Fran looked at Niles with a new found awe. Either he was a far better liar than even she was, or Chastity had planned a shopping trip and not told her. "Yeah…all the best outlet shops are in Jersey!"
That was when Fran noticed Niles jaw drop. She knew right where to look, at the top of the stairs Chastity was about to 'make her entrance' as she'd say. Chas had bought a gorgeous royal blue gown that fit her tightly to the waist and had a very full and billowy skirt. It had a sweetheart neckline and some lovely bead work across the bodice. She wore a strand of pearls with a larger teardrop aquamarine stone that just hit the top of her cleavage. Niles held in his now sweating hands a single blue orchid wrist corsage that he thought was the color of her eyes. As Chastity made her descent down the stairs Niles' eyes followed her every step until she stood before him.
"Wow." He whispered softly. "You're stunning, Chas."
"Thanks, you don't look to bad yourself." Chastity fiddled with Niles bow tie. "Is this a real bow tie?" Niles could only manage a brief nod. Chastity leaned in and whispered, "Sexy."
Niles swallowed hard. "We should probably get going, Niles." Chastity saved him from having to speak.
Stuart handed Chastity her coat and Niles helped her slip into it before he shook her father's hand. "When should I have her home, Sir?"
"Well, Son, Chastity will be staying at Frannie's this evening, but I'd say she should be behind closed doors no later than 1am."
Niles smiled remembering that Fran's mother mentioned the girls were staying at Chas' house. "You have my word, Sir." The 'fabfour' left the Babcock house and headed to their dance.
The ballroom was tastefully decorated for the dance. There was the usually High School dance type fair, balloons, streamers, fairly simple floral arrangements on the tables. One corner of the hall was devoted to the photographer taking pictures of the as attendees as they came into the dance. The buffet was set up along the back wall so it could more easily be served by the kitchen. There were maybe 25 tables each sat eight. The 'fabfour' found an empty table near both the buffet, per Fran's wishes, and the dance floor, per Chastity's.
"Would you like to get something to eat, or just sit for a bit?" Niles asked Chastity only a little nervous as he pulled her chair out for her.
Chastity looked at Fran. "Niles, I think we should go have our photo taken while we're both still fresh." Chas toyed with his tie again. "Fran…are you and Max having a picture taken?"
"Oy, we can't miss that…Ma will kill me." Fran stood and left her wrap on the back of the chair 'saving' the table for them.
Max frowned. "Didn't your mother take enough pictures before we left your house?"
"Not professional pictures, Max." Fran grabbed his hand the two couples headed toward the photographer.
Niles and Chastity went first and took the typical 'formal dance' pose with Niles standing just behind her. She wore her lower shoes so he was still a bit taller than her. When the photographer took what he felt was a good shot, Niles asked. "Can we take another one?" The photographer smiled and nodded. Niles, with typical flourish spun Chastity and dipped her to which they heard the camera's distinct 'click'. "That should do it!" Niles lifted Chas and they laughed as they moved to fill out the order form for their pictures.
Fran and Max took their photo in the same typical stance and then the photographer had them turn to face each other. He pretended to fiddle with the camera and just as they were gazing into each other's eyes, again we heard the camera click. "That's going to be a great picture." The photographer said in spite of himself. Max and Fran joined Niles and Chas at the order table and then they all moved to the buffet.
The dance was wonderful! And everyone had a super time. They danced and talked and ate and danced. As the night started winding down, pairs were splitting off. Some were headed home to meet early curfews; some were headed to the diner for some dessert or something. A few of the couples had decided that they were driving to Hudson River Park to watch the sun rise. Then there were a few who just didn't discuss their plans. Our two couples would be in that last group.
Chastity and Fran excused themselves to 'check their faces' and headed to the ladies room. "Fran…I'm terrified. I don't know what to do, or what I'm supposed to say."
Fran sighed. "I know, Chas. I'm nervous too. But I'm willing to bet that the boys are just as nervous as we are. I'm sure they didn't miss Ma sayin' I was stayin' at your house or your dad sayin' you were stayin' at mine."
"I don't want to just hang around until everyone leaves. What if someone sees us? There are still a few teachers here." Chastity was genuinely worried…it's not every day you have your first time.
Fran moved to leave the ladies room. "Chastity, if I know our boys, and I do, I'll bet they are figuring out a way to take this problem off our hands."
"Niles…what are we going to do?" Max could feel his hands sweating.
Niles smiled at his friend. "Max, don't worry, I'm sure that girls are just as nervous as we are."
"Why are you nervous?" Max looked at Niles like he was crazy.
Niles leaned his elbows on his knees. "Max, just because it's not technically my first time, doesn't mean I'm not nervous. It's the first time…" Niles voice suddenly left him.
"What, Niles…?" Max was confused.
"I've never been in love, Max. It was just the business part before. I really love Chas. I don't want to mess things up." Niles was suddenly blushing.
Max smiled at his friend. "She loves you too, Niles. It's written all over her face." Max nodded toward the door.
When the girls came back to the table the boys stood, as all good gentlemen should and Niles spoke up. "Shall we go onto our after dance surprise?"
"One more dance, Niles. Then we'll go." Fran tossed out. Niles offered Chas his arm and they headed onto the dance floor.
Max and Fran weren't far behind them. The couples danced slowly and closely. The girls rested their heads on the boy's shoulders as did most of the girls who were there with their boyfriends. It was an older love song 'Always and Forever' by the group 'Heatwave'. The 'fabfour' were familiar with it and sang along…
ALWAYS AND FOREVER
Always and forever each moment with you,
Is just like a dream to me that somehow came true.
And I know tomorrow will still be the same,
Cause we've got a life of love that won't ever change and…
Every day… love me your own special way,
Melt all my heart away… with a smile.
Take time to tell me…you really care,
And we'll share tomorrow…together.
I'll always love you…forever.
There'll always be sunshine when I look at you,
It's something I can't explain just the things that you do.
And if you get lonely phone me and take,
A second to give to me that magic you make and…
Every day… love me your own special way,
Melt all my heart away… with a smile.
Take time to tell me…you really care,
And we'll share tomorrow…together.
I'll always love you…forever.
When the song ended Niles looked and Chas and Max looked at Fran. They didn't say a word until the girls had led them out of the banquet hall. Fran waited for just the right minute and dropped back to speak to Niles. "Niles…I need to talk to you a minute." Niles winked at Chas and she moved up to walk with Max.
"What's the matter, Fran?" Niles was a little concerned.
Fran took his arm. "Niles…Chastity loves you. I've never seen her happier."
"I love her, too, Fran…" Niles was a little confused.
Fran nodded. "I know, Sweetie, but…" Fran whispered carefully. "You need to be careful…she's never…"
"I know, Fran. I promise, I'll take good care of her." Niles kissed Fran softly on the cheek just before they arrived at the elevators.
Fran rejoined Max and Chastity took Niles now free arm. "What was that about?" She asked him.
"She was concerned about Max…he's been a little quiet tonight." Niles leaned over and whispered.
Max leaned down to Fran. "Is everything ok?"
"I was worried about Chas…" Fran left it at that.
Max leaned in and whispered, "No need, Fran. Niles loves her…I've never seen him so devoted to anyone."
They rode up in the elevator in silence. When they reached their floor the girls led the way rather confidently and walked slowly down the corridor toward their rooms. They were strategically at the end of the hall and right across from one another. The girls were silent when they reached their rooms. Fran looked at Chas and Chas looked at Fran. Then they turned and unlocked the doors and stepped into their rooms pulling the boys in behind them.
Max let Fran take the lead and he stood silently as she rid him of his tuxedo jacket, tie and cummerbund. "Relax a minute, Max. Why don't you get a soda or something from the mini-fridge and I'll be right back." Max nervously nodded and went to the fridge while Fran went into the bathroom. He looked through the different selections and by the time he'd made his choice, Fran was back out of the bathroom.
"See anything you like?" She asked from behind him.
Max stood. "Well, there wasn't any…" Then he turned and saw her. "I…I…I…" Max stood in shock as he looked at Fran standing in the doorway to the bathroom in her deep purple negligee. It had thin straps that looked like they could barely keep it in place as it clung to each of her curves for deal life.
"I'll take that as a yes." Fran sashayed toward him. When she reached him she helped him to relax a little by kissing him softly. He managed to put the soda on the table and wrapped his arms around her waist and deepened the kiss. Her arms crept up his chest until they met behind his neck. "I love you, Max."
Max looked into her eyes. "I love you, Frannie." He swept her up into his arms and carried her to the bed. She leaned against the pillows and just watched him as he tentatively took off his clothes. When he wore nothing but his sexy dark blue boxer briefs Fran reached her arms out for him. As he joined her on the bed he whispered to her. "Fran, are you certain?" Max looked into her deep brown eyes and would swear they were even darker with her desire.
"Yes, Max. I don't care about tomorrow, or next month or what happens at the end of the year. All I care about right now is us." Fran pulled him to her and kissed him deeply pouring all the love she could into that single kiss, easing his fears and apprehensions. Max gathered up her negligee and slipped it up her legs, her hips, she arched her back slightly as he slipped it past her bottom and finally up over her breasts and off. Fran smiled as his audible gasp.
"My God, Fran you're beautiful." Max leaned down and kissed her softly, warmly and with untold urgency. He carefully slid his finger into the leg of her panties and slipped them down her long legs leaving her fully exposed before him. "I love you, Fran."
Fran helped Max out of his boxer briefs and felt his firmness against her belly. "Oh, Max…" Fran whispered. "I love you so much…" Max froze for just a moment as he hovered above her. "It's alright, Max… you don't have to worry. Please, Max, don't be nervous…just love me."
Max lifted himself onto his arms and looked down at her radiance and slowly entered her. Fran wrapped her arms around him and whispered, "You have my heart, Max." They moved together in a beautiful harmony.
"You are my heart, Fran," Max whispered back.
Chastity led Niles by the hand into the room and turned into his arms and kissed him. "Niles, I…" Chas didn't know how to tell Niles she'd never been with a boy before, but she kind of thought he knew.
Niles cupped her face in his hands and kissed her warmly. "You're the most amazing creature I've ever laid eyes on."
"Oh, Niles…" Chastity pulled him tightly to her. "I've never met anyone like you." Suddenly she knew what she wanted and it was standing before her in the form of Niles Brightmore. She had no more fear, no more reservations, her eyes met his and she slowly sipped his jacket from his shoulders and off his arms. Then she undid his tie. "So sexy," she whispered. Then she reached around his waist and unclipped his cummerbund and dropped it onto the chair with his jacket and tie.
Niles kissed her and pulled her into his chest. "Let me." Niles found the zipper at the back of Chastity's gorgeous gown and slowly unzipped it allowing it to fall and puddle at her feet where she kicked it away. She stood before him in a pale blue slip and nothing else. His breath caught in his throat. "My God Chas…you're a vision the likes of which my eyes have never seen."
Chastity smiled at him sweetly. "You've been reading too much Cyrano." Niles leaned in and kissed her gently. His hands rested on her hips as she slowly undid each stud of his shirt and after dropping it on the chair with his jacket, tie and cummerbund she slipped the undershirt out of his pants and ran her hands up his chest feeling the slight hint of hair across his pecs. Niles reached back and pulled the shirt off tossing in onto the chair.
Chastity caressed his chest, up over his strong broad shoulders and down his muscular back. Niles easily lifted her and turned her once making her giggle. Then he placed her lovingly on the bed and slipped off his pants and boxers and joined her on the bed. Chastity gasped slightly at the sight of him. He was beautiful. "Niles…" Chastity leaned onto his chest. "I've…I've never…"
Niles rolled on his side to face her. "It's ok, Chas. I won't do anything you don't want me to. And I'll stop no matter what if you say so." Niles' deep blue eyes held nothing but truth and love in them. "This is a precious gift you're giving me, Chas…but only if you're sure."
"I'm sure, Niles." Chastity took no time to respond. "I've never been more positive of anything."
Niles looked into her eyes and saw her apprehension. "Chas…do I need to…I have one…in my…"
"No…it's ok…you don't have to worry." Chastity placed her hand on his face and kissed him deeply. She slipped her hand into his wavy hair and he reached for the hem of her slip and slowly slid it up her long silken leg. He slipped it over her hips and quickly up over her breasts and shoulders tossing to the chair.
Chastity looked again into his eyes. "I love you, Niles. No one has ever made me feel like you do." She sighed lightly. "Make love to me, Niles…please."
Niles leaned up onto his arms and looked down into her eyes. "I love you, Chastity Claire. I've never loved anyone before. You're as much my first as I am yours." Niles leaned down and kissed her. "Are you sure?"
She nodded and cupped his face with her hands. "Please…" Niles kissed her as he slowly slid himself into her. He felt her gasp slightly and he waited. Her hands left his face and slowly slid down his back to the dimpled area just above his firm rear end. Chastity carefully pulled him tighter into her bringing a soft deep moan from them both. "I'm yours forever, Niles." Chastity whispered as Niles began his rhythm.
"As I am yours." Niles whispered back.
