Hey guys sorry I haven't updated in awhile. I kinda forgot...well on to the story.
Kori's pov
Beep. Beep. Beep. Ugh what a nice way to start a morning. I grabbed my beeping phone and checked my new messages. All 27 of them. All from the same person. Dick Grayson. Why would he do this? It's way to early. Actually to him when he texted me it was way too late also.
First Text: Hey are you up?
Second Text: Is that a no?
Third Text: I ask a lot of questions don't I?
Forth Text:Ignore that one.
Really? Why is he so cute. The next 10 or so we're the same type of thing. Until I saw the next text well the 27th text.
'Hey. I know it's late, well early, but I need to talk to you about...you. Well us. I think we have been different around eachother for awhile. Call me when you get this'
I set my phone on my side table and waddled into my bathroom. It smelled like my strawberry shampoo. Sometimes I caught Dick sniffing my hair. He liked to play with it too. Almost always when we hung out he would have his hands running through my hair. I wouldn't admit it to him but I liked it. I combed through my hair thinking about it. Then brushed my teeth. Back in my room I got my clothes out of my dresser at looked up my mirror. Ew. I need to whiten my teeth. Oo look at my pretty calendar. The doggies are so cute. Oo look today's my birthday. My party is today. Today. MY PARTY IS TODAY. What am I going to do. I don't have any of my party supplies yet. What am I talking about I'm turning 17 I don't need supplies. I walked into my bathroom and turned the shower on. No water. Back on and off. It still wouldn't work. Great. I grabbed my clothes and strutted down the hall to the other bathroom. Although it was for guests and Koma told me to never use it. This was an emergency. I had a party and I wasn't showing up stinky and sweaty. I put the clothes on the counter, stripped off my clothes and turned on the shower. For the next 35 minutes I scrubbed, cleansed and moisturized my body and hair. I turned the shower off and felt a hand grab and pull me out.
"Koma! Get out I'm naked!" She can be so ignorant.
"There is a hot guy by the name of Dick Grayson who says he wants to see you. If I was you I wouldn't mess this up."
"Yea. I wouldn't mess this up by showing up to him naked." I pulled away from her and reached for my bra and panties.
"Make an impression on him Kori." She threw me my favorite cheetah print towel. I stared blankly at her. "Make an impression Kor. You need a boyfriend. And he seems nice."
I wrapped the towel around my body while Koma wrapped her hand around my wrist while spraying me with perfume. She pulled me through the halls and down the stairs. Within seconds I was in Dick's presence. Oh gosh what will he think of me. Maybe slut or whore. He must have heard me before he could see me from the way he spoke.
"Hey Kor I was-" He stared at me and stuttered for words. "like...um..what's up..and..uhhh..Kori where are your clothes?"
My turn to stutter for words. "I...shower..Koma..you...and..uhh..." Gosh why am I so stupid.
"Kori, do you think now is the place to be showing yourself naked to me." He smiled with all teeth and raised an eyebrow. "All I wanted to do was bring you too the maauauauuuuul-"
All I wanted to do was shower get ready and have the perfect day. It's my birthday. But Koma ruined everything. She ripped my towel clean off my body and ran. I stood there face flushed and palms sweating. I was naked in front of Dick Grayson. Not the way I wanted this to happen. Wait I didn't want this to happen.
"K-k-k-Koriiiiiii. Your naayayayaaked." I stood there frightened I wanted to move but I couldn't. His smiled reappeared but bigger. Much much bigger.
Dick's Pov
Wow. Wow. Really wow. I am Dick Grayson. I am considered a playboy. So I have seen my fair share of girls. Without the clothes. Kori was the best. I shouldn't even be comparing. She-They were so big. And she is so...beautiful. With or without her clothes. We stood there until Kori came into realization she was naked. She looked to her left then right and grabbed my jacked out of my hands and threw it around her shoulders and ran away out of the room. We weren't even dating yet and I've seen her topless and naked. I am the man. No I don't act like that for Kori. She's different. She's special. I think I love her. WHAT! No that's ridiculous. Like her, maybe. Maybe she likes me. I should ask her on a date. Just me and her. On a date. I like that. I wondered upstairs to where Kori ran and knocked on her door.
"Kori. You okay."
"No."
"Can I come in?"
"No."
I opened her door anyways and walked in shutting her door. I looked up at her curled in a ball with her covers pulled over her. "Kor, I'm sorry." I paused hoping she would stop me any second now. She didn't. "I should have closed my eyes. It was wrong for me to...stare, at a young lady while she is naked and didn't want me to see her."
"It's not that I didn't want you to see me. Its Koma, in her mind I need a boyfriend. One who's hot and smells nice. But just because you meet the standards doesn't mean she needs to set me up so I'm naked in front of you. It's wrong." I don't think she relized what she just said.
"So what your saying is that, you don't care if I see you naked and I'm hot and smell nice?"
"Yes. Wait no. No I didn't say that." She looked nervous. How cute.
"Kori, you know you can tell me anything right?"
"Yea. I guess."
"Good."
"You know you can tell me anything, right?"
"What about...ask you anything?"
"Most definitely."
"Kori will you go on a date with me?"
"Richard..."
"I'm sorry I shouldn't have said anything."
"Is this what you ment by talk about us."
"Yes. It's just one date." My palms were sweating and my voice cracked.
Kori's pov. Before the party.
My party starts in about two hours. I sat in front of the tv with a bag of sea salt chips and a Coke. My pool is in the process of heating up. Koma is surprisingly trying very hard to set up the party telling me to leave everything to her. She started the pool heater and ordered 20 boxes of pizza with everything you can imagine. She said she would do everything if she could stay. I invited everyone I knew and liked or kinda liked and some people I don't even know. I probably invited around 180 people. I turned the tv off and walked into my bathroom, washed my hands and put the curlers in my hair. Beep. Beep. Beep.
"Hello?"
"Hey Kori, what's up?"
"Nothing much vic just getting ready for my party."
"Cool. You invite Dickie?"
"Of course I invited Dick. I invited at least half the school."
"I know I'm just messing with ya."
"So why did you call? We haven't talked in like weeks."
"I called to see when your party starts."
"Oo it starts at 9. See ya there."
"Ight, by Kori."
I slid my phone shut and went in my closet to put on my dress. I slid it on along with my good bra and underwear. Tonight is going to be great, all I can picture is me dancing with the hottest seniors. Maybe Dick will get jealous. Hope not. That would be extremely embarrassing. I pulled out my gigantic makeup kit and did my makeup. Making sure not to put too much or too little. The party starts in one hour. Now 59 minutes. Downstairs Koma had food everywhere in the kitchen and in the living room the couches were moved off to the side. She had the disco ball set up on the ceiling along with neon lights. Outside paper lanterns were hung around the pool. The hot tub and the pool and steam coming off of them. 30 minutes until the party starts. I sat down on one of the patio chairs to take it all in.
"Hello Kori."
"Hey Gar, your here early."
"Is Rachel going to be here?"
"She's my bestfriend of course she is coming."
"Okay cool. I'll be in the bathroom."
With that he walked away leaving me all alone. I closed my eyes and leaned back in my chat. 20 more minutes. I woke up an hour later to Rachel slapping my arm. The music was loud, people were dancing and people were swimming in the pool.
"Howling have you been asleep." Rachel said in her monotone voice.
"I don't know but the party didn't start when I feel asleep." My friend Donna came up and grabbed my arm.
"Let's go dance with some seniors!" She dragged me and my but into the living room where senior boys ,or men, were drinking bear and dancing. One of them through there arm around me and started grinding behind me. I ruffled his sandy blonde hair and walked into the kitchen. The music was pounding everywhere around me, the lights were all off exept the neon ones. I turned on the kitchen light and screamed. Dick was going through my refrigerator and came out with a Pepsi.
"Hey Kori. You look great." He smiled a toothy grin. "Not so glad to see you've put your clothes on, but that's okay the night is young."
"Hey, Hey slow down there buddy." We sat on the counter and laughed drinking Pepsi and eating chips.
"This is a really big party. There's like 200 people here."
"Really I didn't invited that many."
"More people like you than you thought."
"It's not that great of a party, I mean I don't even have a dj."
"Yes you do. He's out back by the pool."
"Really?"
"No, but it would be cool." I giggled nervously. "Let's go for a ride."
"Where?"
"Anywhere, it is your birthday." We ran outside holding hands laughing. I was bear foot with my hair circled and my pretty peach dress. We got inside his truck and pulled out of my driveway and on to the highway.
"Where are we going? The city's that way?"
"I changed my mind, I pick."
"Okay tell me."
"Nope. Not even if you paid me." He grabbed my hand with his faced the road. For miles and miles we would be the only car on this highway. Driving crazy at 11 o' clock at night.
