Ada
Huxley escorted me in,we had photos taken. Then the three boys had a photo together. But when Mason asked me to come join them I couldn’t wipe the smile from my face. I hadn’t exactly spoken to them before, so I was grateful they wanted me there in their photo.
Prom was perfect, everything seemed to be going to plan. I didn’t even need to step in and help, I was glad. I didn’t want to think about that on my special night. I had the most handsome date to the prom.
The boys found a table for us, and Huxley got a drink for me. I couldn’t wait to dance and see Lexi and the guys.
When Lexi arrived wearing the dark purple gown she had bought with me my mouth dropped. She was stunning, the lights reflected off the crystals that were beaded on her gown and she looked like an angel. I ran over to her, as best I could in the heels I was wearing.
“That dress is killer. I should say thank you to Galen for mine.” We started swinging to the music, it was so much fun, the atmosphere in here was amazing. Plus, all the masks, mine was simple and a red lace to match my dress. Lexi had a black one, I had made it and gave it to her on her birthday last week, I got her a best friend necklace so she had one half and I had the other, I had always wanted one of those.
“Where’s Huxley?” She asked, I turned and pointed back to the table.
“He’s there with the Rawlins crew.” I told her and shrugged. That was okay, I was dancing with Lexi.
“May I have this dance?” Maverick asked her, holding his hand out. Or maybe I will go and see if Huxley wants to dance. I danced over to the Rawlins table, and River smiled at me.
“If Hux isn’t man enough to ask you to dance, can I have this one?” River held his hand out and did a little bow. I looked to Huxley who stood up and shook his head.
“I’m sorry, Ada. I should have asked already. I’m not very good, so I didn’t want to embarrass you with my terrible dance moves.” I shook my head and smiled.
“You can’t embarrass me or you, we are here to have fun. As long as you’re having fun that is all that matters.” I didn’t want him to feel uncomfortable dancing with me, but he smiled and took my hand. Out of the dance floor he was good, I didn’t know why he was so worried, he could dance.
When the song slowed down he held my hips and we swayed together. This couldn’t have been more perfect. This was everything I wanted. When his eyes landed on my lips I ran my tongue along my lower lip.Kiss me.His lip pulled up a little at the side, did he hear my thoughts? Could he smell how turned on I was. I couldn’t wait any longer, I reached up and pulled his face closer to mine, I saw his eyes widen before I closed mine and kissed him.
His hand moved to my hair, the other wrapped around my waist as he kissed me… really kissed me. I could feel the hardness of his body through my silk dress as he moved against me, his tongue swept against mine and our breathing grew faster. My toes curled and the world disappeared… the song was finished and another one playing but we didn’t stop. Not until I couldn’t breath and I needed a little air.
I excused myself and made my way to the ladies room, I needed to fix myself up after all that kissing and dancing. Maybe fan myself between my legs, I was a little turned on.
I fixed my hair and my lipstick and pulled out my phone to see if there were any messages from anyone, someone…Noah.But he hadn’t messaged me after I told him to stop talking to me. He did… and I was confused and upset. But I wasn’t sure what to do, we could have been friends? That was a lie, I couldn’t have watched him date other girls.
As I started on my way back I wasn’t looking as I turned sharply around a corner and hit someone. I held onto them so I didn’t fall and they held my arm, the heat of his hand sent sparks through me. I peered up through my lashes and saw big brown eyes, they glowed for a split second before his nostrils flared. Saint. He had dark under his eyes like he hadn’t been sleeping.
I pulled my hand away from his chest, but when he didn’t drop my arm my body and mind were at war with each other. I heard Olivia calling out to him and snapped out of my crazy head. This was Saint, the same guy who a week ago after Olivia to prom and let her into Lexi’s special day. I shrugged out of his grip and stormed off. I wasn’t ready to deal with that shit tonight. When I turned back I saw him, still standing there, watching me.
Saint-fucking-Wood.
