as though that was enough reason. "ok" I said to him as I smiled "ok, what?" he said with excitement on his face " Ok, I'll be your girlfriend " at that moment my summer fling was no longer my summer fling he was my boyfriend.

Shawm smile at me with his pearly white teeth and lean in to kiss me. for this kiss was different from the others, it was our first official kiss a couple.

 

 

 

Prom

 Eight months had gone by since Shawn asked me to be his girlfriend. I would like to say we've been happy ever since but that's not the case. You can't expect much out of high school relationships, but we made it work some how even through the Kelly issue. Yes, a Kelly issue; after Kelly found out about Shawn and I being together she wasn't too, please. She had bad mouth me to other people around the school making it look as though I was cheating on Shawn and after auguring with Shawn for three days about the issue we broke up. A week had gone by of us avoiding each other which was easy due to his baseball practice and me tutoring kids after school.

 

It was one day after school, I was walking to the bathroom to hear Ester and Sam yelling in the hall as I cut the corner. It was Shawn standing there looking as though it was his parents lecturing him about something bad he had done. He turns to see me as I stand there looking confused and walked over to me "I'm sorry baby, I shouldn't have let people filled my head with lies" he hugged me so tight as if he wouldn't see me again. running his left hand across my back passing my neck to lift my face to his. he kissed me as though we hadn't seen each in a year " please take me back" he said as he looking into my eyes waiting. I couldn't stop thinking about how I missed his hugs and the way he kisses me without hesitation I nodded my head and wrap my arms around him. I wasn't going to let Kelly get the best of my relationship. " I have to get back to practice. Do you want to come over late?" Shawn said to me as he still held on to me "ok, I'll stop by. I'll just have my dad drop me to your house" I said to him. Not wanting to let him go we kissed one more, he then kissed me on the forehead " cool, I'll see you later" as he ran through the hall towards the double door.

 

Ester and Sam walked toward me with grins on their faces "I'm glad you guys are back together" Sam said to me with her arms wrapped around my shoulders while Ester nods her head agreeing, saying " and right before prom too".Prom was right around the corner and it didn't cross my mind until my break with Shawn, We were together so I didn't think of it much. even though we were on the verge of breaking up multiple time.

 "Thank You, Daddy" kissing my father on the side of his face. I got out slamming the car door; stooping my body to the level of the car peeking my head through the window "Shawn will bring me home". My father didn't look so pleased, endless arguments with mother about me dating he finally gave in. I have had boyfriends before but Shawn was the only one my father had met. Shawn met me at the main entrance to the apartment building while opening the door for me he waved good bye to my father. we walked up two flights of steps before reaching the apartment door, I watched him as he turned the golden nobs pushing the door forward leaving the pathway clear for me to enter. Clearly, no one was home as I stood there waiting for him to lead the way " we're going to my room" he said to me and he walked through the narrow hall. I have been to his dad apartment before but his father was always home and we always stayed in the living room. I enter the room while he shut the door behind him "you can sit on the bed" he said. I watched him and he went to his closet sliding the door to the side to pull out a bouquet of flowers a long with a big teddy bear with a note attached to it. "This is for you, I was waiting for the right time to give this to you and I know we talked about prom but I still wanted to do it right and  ask you" I sat there in shock as I pulled the note off the bear and read it * Melissa Nicole Rose, I love you. will you go to prom with me* looking up at him with tears in my eyes I nodded "yes" as we kissed *I Finally understood why getting engaged was such a big thing or at least close to understanding*  I thought to myself as I chuckled.

*buzz*

Shawn quickly picking his phone up. I peeked over trying to see who he was texting but he locked his phone and turn to me " let's go my dad is on his way back". "ok" I picked up my things as I walked to the door I couldn't shake the feeling as if he was lying but I kept going because tomorrow was prom and I needed to get ready.

***********

It was the day of prom. After Shawn dropped me home I spent hours Straightening my hair. I parted my hair to the side taking the curlers to my head; carefully taking chunks of hair to the curlers and curling them. I put flexi rods in my hair to hold my curlers and spraying holding spray on them to help the curls stay in place. That morning my mother and I spent the day driving around town getting last minute things together. we went back home getting me ready for my big moment for my date was only 10 minutes away. My dress was a long, red mermaid style with the sleeve hanging off my shoulders to show off my collar bones. *zip* The sound of the zip running up my back made me nervous. my mother now carefully helping me take the rods out my hair while gently brushing them out. She turned me around caressing my face with care to not ruining my makeup " My baby you're so beautiful" she smiles at me turning me back to the mirror to place a necklace around my neck. "BABYGIRL!, YOUR DATE IS HERE" my father shouted. I slowing walked out my room heading toward the steps I looked down to see Shawn standing at the bottom waiting for me. He looked at me with amazement in his eyes reaching his hand out for mine. he pulled me close giving me a hug " you look so beautiful" he whispered in my ear as with pulled apart " pictures, pictures" my mother yelled. After about 30 minutes of taking pictures and putting my overnight bag in the car, we were off to prom.

 

Maria Sanchez: "would you say this was the night it all started for you?"

Me: "No, but I think it played a part in it"

Maria: *nods head* "ok" * clicks pen*

My innocents was a cliché

 Pulling up to an old English style castle which looked as if queens and kings belong there. Shawn pulled into valet parking; my door was being opened by a guy who appeared to be in his mid- twenties. He stretched his hand forward, taking my hand in his while an another boy around the same age hopped into the driver seat. I walked around the all black Audi with tan leather seats to lock arms with my date that was waiting for me. "A Knight to remember." said the banner that hung across the entrance, inside was beautiful and everyone looked so elegant. "Melissa" I turned around still holding onto Shawn it was Sam in a silver two piece glitter top with a sweetheart neckline, Her shirt portion was long and satin with a split up her tights, Her pastel pink hair now shoulder length was slick back. Leaving her date behind she ran over to embrace me. Pushing me back with both hands attached to my shoulder taking her time to examine me. "You're so pretty. The color red looks good on you". I smiled at her " You look pretty too" Sam twirled to give me the full view of her outfit. "where's Ester" Sam asked." She texted me saying she was about to walk inside"I looked at my phone to check if Ester had texted me again. 

 

Both Sam and I were being tapped on our shoulders. we turned around to be hugged by a mysterious girl with red hair " It's me Estúpidos" Ester said to us as she lifted her head "Your hair is RED" I blurted out "You weren't lying when you said you wanted red hair for prom" Sam said looking at Ester with shock "It's so pretty on you". as I touched Ester's hair. The different shade of red suited her well, a long with the champagne color sequin dresses that ran down to the floor. "Gracias ladies, you guys look good too. Now let go take our pictures and dance our asses off" Ester looking up at us.

"ladies and gentlemen gather around. It's time to announce prom king and queen". The crowd pushes forward. Shawn wrapped his arm around my waist leaning over " let's get out of here and head to the hotel". He whispered in my ears. We have talked about the hotel plenty times before and What would happen. I even spoke it over with Ester and Sam as I lied to my parents on why I needed money for a hotel to split with my friends. Shawn held my hands leading me through the crowds and out the big double doors. We stood there waiting for the valet to bring our car to us. Taking off his black jacket to place over my shoulders as the car was being pulled in front of us. I watched him as he walked toward the car to open my door. I picked my dress up off the floor to step into the car. Shutting the door I watched Shawn as he walked to the front of the car shaking the valet hands and giving him a tip.

 

The hotel was about 15 minutes away from the dance. we slowly
