“But our love was not of that kind… not the
epic, beautiful, fairytale kind… It was eternal, destructive, forbidden
love...”
The pulsating beat slowly came to a cease to their
ears as the only sound around was their racing heart beats. He spins her
gracefully as her body left his embrace for the quick moment. His warm
fingertips met with her soft cold hands as she blushed at the spark ignited. He
swept her off her feet as she kept her head facing down in fear of
embarrassment. He grinned wildly at the power of his emotions in a simple
action but was brought out of his trance by the thunderous applause.
She broke away from as the applause continued and she
slipped away among all the others in the room.
He could hear his name being called as the applause stopped and everyone
was staring at him in amusement. He saw his best friend motioning towards the
center of the room where a man was holding a crown and smiling. He walked
towards the man who placed the gaudy piece on his head laughing. He looked into
the crowd and couldn’t find the beauty he just held within his arms. She was
dressed in a dark purple gown that hugged all her curves in the right places.
Dark long curls framed her oval tanned face and her dark piercing brown eyes
that seem to glow beneath her gold and purple mask.
He lifted his own mask the red and black one when he
felt a body collide with his. She was a short female with golden hair in tight
curls wearing a red dress smiling madly at him. The announcer places a tiara on
her head as she was now presented as his Queen for the evening. They were
whisked onto the dance floor to a sappy song as she sighed happily. He looked
around the room to see his beauty standing by the big bay doors with the moon
light illuminating her. Their eyes met for once last time in love before she
walked away into the night. He felt the tug on his tie and looked down at the
golden girl who leans up and kisses his lips. Sweet cheers went around the room
and he looked around seeing others adorned in dresses and suits.
They all wore mask like him but he could easily tell
who was who. He wanted to see his True Beauty within the crowd like the others
but she was nowhere in sight. The applause again brought him back to reality
and he pulled away from the golden girl followed his lead. Everyone was heading
towards the exit to enter their chariots to end the evening right. His hands
automatically slipped into the golden girl’s. They walked towards a small crowd
of rambunctious people and joined into the silly festivities.
His true beauty was standing next to his best friend
who was telling a joke but she wouldn’t dare glance his way. He heard his
golden’s voice but his eyes were on his true beauty’s every move that finally
looked at him. “Nathan” She whispered sweetly and his dimples appeared on his
face. “Yeah Desiree” He said back as he gave her a once over. “Your girlfriend
is talking to you” Desiree his Beauty said and pointed to the golden girl who
rolled her eyes. “Erika” Nathan said turning to the girl now annoyed by the act
between the two. “Leo you taking me home?” Desiree asked Nathan’s best friend
who nodded yes.
This is how it was for Nathan … he was in love with
his best friend Desiree who was currently dating his other best friend Leo who
was brother to his current girlfriend of two years Erika. He sighed at just the
thought of the drama in his head but one look at his beauty and he was washed
with relief. He watched as Leo walk Desiree
towards his car before waving to him in pleasantries. Nathan looked at her one
more time before disappearing into the car as he wish to dance with her one
more time.
He officially fell in love with his best friend on
Prom Night.
Can it get more cliché? It wasn’t always this
difficult it all started one year ago ….
