Chapter 27 prom
Hanna's pov
Aria and I were at mine laying on my bed discussing prom. The two of us had agreed to Surprise each other with what we will wear, by getting matching white corsages so it would go with both our dresses. It was the night before prom and we had yet to discuss if we were going to the prom as a couple or just as friends. Ali, Em and spencer are still the only people that know about us and I wanted to see if she was ready to go public with the whole "us thing" yet. So what do we do about tomorrow night? Can I hold your hand and slow dance with you? or should we stick to getting a best friends selfie and just dance as friends? Aria sighed, I could tell this was all she had been thinking about. "Han I know you kind of asked me like as a date but I'm not sure I'm ready yet, trust me it's not you it's me, are you okay with that"? She questioned. Sure babe, I can wait besides I'll still be going with you that's all that matters. Aria smiled, "thank you for understanding your the best". I blushed before pulling her in for a kiss. Tomorrow is going to be so much fun, you are going to look
beautiful. She shook her head before burying it in my neck, "not as beautiful as you will Han" she says as she places a kiss to my neck.
Em's pov
On Friday Aria and I went to the mall together, I had to pick up my dress that was being altered and Aria was yet to buy one. Talk about last minute this was the third time this week she had been to the mall. Once with me, and once with Ali. she must have tried on close to 100 dresses by now yet she insisted she didn't like any of them. When we entered we looked around for a bit before picking up mine at the store i got it from. Hey Aria have you even looked in here? I questioned her. "Em I have no idea, honestly I've been to way to Many shops to remember". Okay well mines from here so why don't you see if you like any? "Okay", she says as she starts to look through the racks. I started at one end and she started at the other, before meeting in the middle. We both managed to pull out 5 between us and I handed them to her before gesturing to the change rooms. Each dress she tried on she began to get more and more frustrated with. "Err Em why do I have to have such bad luck, I hate that I'm so short all the long dresses are to LONG and the short puffy ones make me look pregnant". I couldn't help but laugh at my best friend, Aria don't be ridiculous we will find something, we are not leaving until we do. Aria threw her head back grumbling before walking back into the change room to try on the last one. When she came back out she had a hug smile on her face, the first one I had seen all day. "What do you think"? She questioned me as she did a twirl, Aria it's perfect you have to get. "Great we both agree, I hope Hanna likes it" she says and I roll my eyes, Aria Hanna is not going to like it she will love it. She laughed "okay I'm Holding you to that Em, now let me go change and we can get out of here".
Ali's pov
Em text me this morning telling me she would be picking up her dress and attempt to help Aria get one. This gave Hanna and I a chance to spend time together. The two of us decided to get our nails and hair done before heading back to spencer where the four of us were going to get ready. Hanna and I were going to get ready in my room, while spencer had offered her room to Emily and Aria. She even insisted she would take photos of all of us and I was sure to be returning the favour for her next weekend. When Hanna and I arrived back home, we headed upstairs and lay out our dresses On my bed. I heard spence open the door down stairs to greet Em and Aria and I was dying to see what she would look like. 2 hours later the four of us were ready and Hanna and I went down stairs to wait for them.
Aria's pov
Em helped me into my dress and did my hair, before the two of use made our selves look our best. I was so excited yet nervous at the same time and I was dying to see Hanna. I held onto Em's arm as we walled down the corridor, and as we mad it to the top of the stairs my eyes immediately meet Hanna's who was waiting for me. I couldn't help but stare at her on my way down, she looks so beautiful. Her dress is silver going straight to the ground, and her blond hair is pulled to the side in curls With Her blue eyes sparkling. When I got to the bottom she held out her hand for me and I took it before she kissed the top of mine. She brushed her thumb across my wrist then slid on the corsage. She didn't give me a chance to put on hers as her pulled me into a hug and then kissed me. When we pulled apart I felt myself blush and I smiled. Hanna you look Amazing, that dress looks perfect.
Hana's pov
When Aria came down stairs I swear my mouth dropped open. when I took in the site of my girlfriend, Her hair was curled into a low bun with to brown curls hanging loss on either side of her face. Her dress was red, and it hugged her upper body going out at the hips to loosely finish just above the knee. I managed to slip her corsage on but couldn't contain myself long enough and kissed her. She smiled before telling me I looked Amazing and i was glad that she approve. Hey I'm sorry I kissed you I just... looking at you in that dress I new I wanted as many kisses as I can get before we go. You look stunning, I new you would. Aria blushed "no need to apologise I'm glad you kissed me, Now please stand still and let me put this on your wrist". I held my hand out and let her do it, before locking our fingers and heading towards the door letting spencer take a few photos of us together.
Em's pov
Walking down the stairs I swear I have never seen a more beautiful sight then I do right now. Ali looks gorgeous, her blond hair is curled in her trade mark Alison look, with a few peaces pined back and her pink dress is beautiful. it has short selves on it with sliver bead on the front that go to her waist. The rest of the dress puffed out with fish net underneath. I wrapped my arms around her waist when I reached her and she wrapped hers around my neck, before we shared a slow but passionate kiss. When we exchanged boxes I smiled relieved to see that we both thought alike. I had brought her a corsage to match my dress and she handed me a pink one to match hers. When both our wrist were covered I took in the sight of Ali again whispering in her ear that she is the most gorgeous person I have ever meet, and she let out her cute little laugh.
Ali's pov
My mermaid was seriously so beautiful strutting her stuff down the stairs. I swear I could have jumped her right there and then and I had to bit my bottom lip to restrain myself. Her long tan legs could be seen through the sides of her long black dress that had to long slits either side off her legs. Her hair was pulled into a plat, and the dress was low cut that did up at the neck, giving me a prefect view of her front and exposing her back. Her warm brown eyes locked with mine and we share a kiss before exchanging our corsages. You are so beautiful Em, I love you. I love you too Ali more than you know. The two of us joined Hanna and Aria for a group photo before getting some just the two of us and then spencer walked us out to the limo that was waiting. Entering the limo Emily and I sat right next to each other Hand in hand and I was so excited to be spending the rest of my night with her. Not long after, The driver opened our door and we steeped out. As we did Em offered me her arm and we walked up the front steps into the school.
Aria's pov
The school hall looked Amazing when we entered, the lights were beautiful and the hall was packed with seniors enjoying the night. There was a photographer when we walked in and Hanna and I got a photo together. Ali and Em, Hanna and I separated and agreed to meet up towards the end of the night. Hanna insisted on hitting the dance floor and the two of us were having so much fun. It wasn't until a guy who I think is on the football team came over to us that things got a little awkward. He politely asked if Hanna would like to dance and I started to regret going as just friends. Hanna was pretty quick to say yes which kind of was unexpected, because all she had to say was no thanks but she took the easy option and said yes. She tried to look sorry by grabbing his hand telling me it would be just one dance. When the music started and it turned out to be a slow song I could feel my jealousy rising. I wish I was brave enough to not care what people think of me, it should be me dancing with her not him. I couldn't just stand there and watch so I decided to go to the restroom.
Hanna's pov
As I was slow dancing with Shaun I couldn't help but keep thing how Aria must be feeling. I didn't exactly think when he asked me to dance, and I realise now though that dancing with him problem wasn't what I should of done. I mean yes Aria and I came as friends but she is my girlfriend. When I finished my slow dance I looked for her but I couldn't find her. I passed Ali and Em but they hadn't seen her either. I decided to go check the restroom as she problem went in there to hide from me. When I entered all the stalls were empty expect the middle one. I could hear someone crying softly and I new that Cry enough to know that it was Aria and it instantly broke my heart to hear it. I locked the door so know one else could come in before walking towards the stall and knocking on the door. Hey Aria it's me, I know your in there. I heard her sigh, "Han go away" Aria I'm not leaving you like this please just come out and talk to me it's just us in here.
It was quiet for a bit before I heard the door unlock and she walked out, trying to avoid eye contact with me, but I stood in front of her grabbing her chin in my hand. Hey please don't cry I'm sorry I made you upset. I gently brushed the tears with my thumb as I felt her soft hands grab my wrists. She walked towards the wall, before turning to face me. "I'm not crying because of you Han", she says only just making eyes contact with me long enough so I new she meant it. Then what's making you so upset? I Questioned her slightly confused. "I'm upset with myself for not being brave enough to come out and go to the prom tonight with you as your girlfriend". "It should have been me and you slow dancing, not you and Shaun". I sighed, I know I only danced with him because I didn't want people to suspect anything between us because I thought that's what you wanted. Aria nodded, "it is I mean.. It was... I don't know seeing you to together made me want to tell him to back off because your mine, except the two of you looked like you were enjoying it so I left".
Hey Aria look at me, that's not true okay i like you way to much to even think about anyone but you. Heck I don't just like you I love you. Dancing with Shaun meant nothing to me. I watched Aria's eyes widen, I didn't mean to say it so soon it just slipped out but seeing the look on her face when I said I love you was worth it. "Han are you serious"? She questions me her voice shaky. yes I meant what I said Aria I love you. Aria smiled before crashing our lip together In a sweet kiss. I gently lifted her up so that she was sitting near the sink and her legs wrapped around my waist, when the kiss ended she spoke. "I love you to Hanna" she whispered and wrapped her arms around my neck. I promise that when your ready to come out I'll be there with you babe. "Han I don't wanna wait any long, I only get 1 senior prom and I want to dance with my girlfriend". I couldn't help but smile when she said that. are you sure? "Yes I don't want to wait, who cares what people think". I pulled her off the sink and into my arms placing a kiss to her forehead, okay come on let's go there is probably a line waiting to use the restroom. Aria laughed "right lets let them in then".
Em's pov
Each yeah 3 girls and 3 guys get nominated for prom king and queen, and of course this yeah the three girls were Mona, Ali, and Hanna. Ali said she didn't want to be prom queen but deep down I new that if she was she would be happy. She told me not to mention it or bother voting so I didn't but when the nominees we're all called up on stage I couldn't help but wish her good luck. It's not like she needed it , but i said it anyway and sure enough she rolled her eyes before letting go of my hand. Mona had yet again been promoting herself all week asking even people she didn't like to vote for her just because she wanted to win, and she was pretty confident that she would win. I was just hoping it was Hanna or Ali. When principal Hacket finally Announced Noël Kahn as the prom king and Alison as prom queen I saw her instantly smile, and so did I. The look on Mona's face was priceless and watching Ali standing up there taking the crown was my favourite part of the night so fare. Ali didn't think people at this school liked her, but obviously there's enough people who do. Noel and Ali had to share a dance as tradition, but I ended up cutting in. Mind if I step in I questioned Noël and Ali blushed. "Not at all, be my guest" he say as he walks off to find someone else to dance with. I smiled at Ali when our eyes meet. I told you that you could win. Ali shook her head, guess I should have listen to you Em she says as she gently pulls me closer with her arms.
My hands instantly found her waist and her arms draped around my neck before she rested her head on my left shoulder. I tighten my grip around her before closing my eyes and listening to the music. I was pulled out of thought when Ali spoke. "I never want to leave your arms Em, you feel like home". I felt my self blushing when she said it. Ali wasn't the best with feelings but was try to tell me how she felt right in this moment, and I thought it was cute. I feel the same way Ali, I say as I whisper in her ear. I never want to let you go. "Then don't" she says as I feel her body relax into mine. "Stay at spencer, just tonight I don't want to be alone". I pull away slightly from her long enough to look at her properly. What if we get caught? You know the rules Spencer's mum said no sleepovers and so did mine. Ali rolled her eyes, "I'll get spencer to cover for us just tell your mum your staying at Aria's". Ali looked at me and pouted knowing full well that I would give in, and I did. I let go of her waist and cupped her checks in my hands before kissing her. Okay fine, but only because I love you I say and I catch her smiling like and idiot. Ali took my hand and the two of us stop dancing and started to look for Hanna and Aria.
Ali's pov
Emily and I were looking for Hanna and Aria when we finally found the two of them on the dance floor. The both of them slow dancing and looking into each other's eyes. Even I had to admit they looked cute. "Wait I thought they were coming as friends"? Em looked at me confused, yeah so did I. I guess they decided they were sick of hiding. "Well it's about time", Em says as we watch them secretly not wanting to interrupt. When the music changed and they stopped talking we joined them before calling a cab and waiting for it outside. When we were in the cab I sent a text to spencer.
Me- hey spence sorry if I woke you but are your parents still up?
Spencer- I was awake and no why? Are you nearly home?
Me- Good I was kind of hoping we could sneak Em in? I'll totally cover for you next weekend with Toby?
Spencer- okay fine with me you have a deal, text when your almost here
Me- Yay thanks spence love you
Spence- Yeah,yeah just don't get caught or your on your own
The cab went to Aria's first so Emily told held that she was pretending to stay at hers and Hanna got out to walk her to the door, while we stayed in the cab. When we finally got back to Spencer's she mad sure that know one saw Emily follow me upstairs before locking the door and joining us. "So how was your night"? She questioned us and I smiled. "It was great, your sister is actually the 2014 prom queen", em says and I nudge her playfully as I thought we had agreed not to say anything. Spencer smiled at me, "why am I not surprised" she says and I start to push her out of room. Okay enough, really thanks for your help spence but we can talk in the morning. Spencer rolled her eyes muttering "your wish is my command under breath" with a smirk on her face.
Em I thought we said we wouldn't talk about that, she smiled at me innocently, " i know but I could help it, I'm proud of you babe and you should be too, besides spencer doesn't count". Not wanting to argue with her I gave in. Climbing onto my bed I straddled her waist and kissed her lips Softly. Thank you I say as I get back up and begin to change. She stays there looking confused. "For what"? I smile taking her hand as she stands up. For believing in me, I don't always believe in myself so I love knowing that you do. Em smiled. "Ali you should, clearly I'm not the only one who does, all the people that voted for you tonight think that you deserved it and so do I". I blushed before squeezing Em's hand.
Are these ok? I question her as I hand her some pj's and let her changed before climbing into my side of the bed. "There fine", she smile and When I feel the bed sink and her warm body curl around mine I finally let myself relax pulling her arm around my waist. It was silent for a bit, but I decided to speak. Em? I questioned her hoping she was still awake. "Mmm" she mumbled and I smiled at her attempt to tell me she was not yet asleep. Do you want to know why I always make you sleep on that side of the bed? I felt her laugh behind me. I'd love to she mumbles against my back. "Why"? She questions and I turn in her arms to face her, Because when your not with me I can Sleep on that side of the bed and it will smell like you. I felt her laughing again her eyes still closed, as she lifts her head to place a kiss to my temple making me sigh with contentment. "You are adorable did you know that?", she whispers in my ear and I smile before rolling back over, knowing that she likes it when I refer to it as her side of the bed. "I love you Ali, thank you for tonight". I love you to Em I had fun, I whisper back before feeling my desperate need for sleep taking over me, and her breath being the only sound left in the room.
