11 The Prom 2

Adrian took a quick shower. He ran his eyes across the clothes hanged in his wardrobe, there it was the perfect suit. It was a black tuxedo his Aunt brought for him on his Eighteenth birthday.

Adrian wore it with a black shoes to match. On the mirror table in his room, there was an expensive gold wrist watch. He grabbed it and put it around his wrist.

Ding!!

Came a sound from his phone. Unlocking it he saw a message from Jerry. It's read:

"Going to pick my date....can you take cherry along?".

"Gosh, why did he choose me of all people...". he thought.

Adrian was already late for the prom. He was supposed to pick Camille up from her apartment but he called and cancelled it. Here was another request from his best friend to pick another friend of his.

Stepping out of the house Adrian locked the door, and walked to his car. He was going to drive himself to the prom since Mr. Johnson took the day off.

The twins apartment was not too far from his. By the time Adrian got there, Cherry was waiting outside for him. She wore a red silk gown with a black bag.

Cherry opened the door of the car, she sat down.

"What took you so long handsome?"

"The message came late, I drove down here in a rush to pick you up".

"You didn't compliment my dress!"

"Am sorry Cherry am late to the prom and.."

"Your date is waiting for you right "she rolled her eyes up .

"Yeah, kind of..."

Cherry was jealous. She haven't met Adrian's date but she hated her already. She came to Oxford to have him to herself not to share with some random European girl. Adrian was her childhood friend but he never for once looked at her in a romantic way.

She remembered the last prom they attended, Adrian took her alone but end up introducing her as his sister. At the end of the day just like this one she found out that he had another date----His cousin's girlfriend. Jackson didn't spare Adrian a bit, he did beat the hell of his cousin. It's was such a pity that the two brothers ended up ruining a prom just for a witch like Phoebe.

In less than thirty minutes, they arrived at the school Hall-- the venue for the prom. The Hall was beautifully decorated from the outside, the students kept on flowing in and out of the hall in twos.

Adrian got down from his car quickly and looked around. He gaze at Camille. She was beautifully dressed in a long red gown with glitters, as well as a pair of silver heels and bag to match. He couldn't believe who he saw . Camille looked totally different today.

He walked to where she was standing, bowing a little . He took her left hand and kissed it.

"Pardon me Senorita, I kept you waiting".

Camille waited for him for over an hour, She was beginning to think that Adrian was going to pay back by ditching her on this important occasion.

"No problem, I was afraid you might not show up" she said.

"Why will I do that? Am a man of my words I Don't go back on my words".

"Am happy to hear that, Now that you are here shall we?".

"Sure" he offered his hand.

"I can't wait to introduce you to all my friends" She grabbed his hand as they walked into the hall.

.Camille stepped into the hall, there were so many students. She didn't expect them to turned up like this. All eyes fell on them as she walked besides Adrian. "If he would agree to date her, they would have been the perfect couple Oxford had ever seen she thought".

"Wow you guys look great.."

"Beautiful couple..."

"Perfect couple..."

Those were the compliment she got from the Students.

Yes the word "perfect" was what she wanted. She wished Adrian felt the same for her. A group of students walked up to them. She introduced Adrian, one after the other they kept coming without stopping.

Camille got tired of the introduction, her eyes dart back and forth as she searched for her friends. She saw the girl Adrian came with .

"I think that's his girlfriend" she said to her self. In order not to get him distracted Camille told Adrian to dance with her.

At the dance floor they were so close to each other that the students could no longer dance with out taking their eyes off them

She felt a touch at her neck. It's was Adrian's lips, Camille looked at him, surprised. Almost without knowing what he was doing. He leaned forward, took her face in his hands, and kissed her.

"Adrian..." She murmured.

No answer.

He kept on kissing her again moving his hand down her chest.

He brought his lips to her ears and whispered.

"Let's go home baby".
