Tricia Williams - Our fucking future

“Nope, I like the fact that you said no. I mean you’re attractive and I’m kinda lonely right this minute but I can wait and go meet one of my fiancés later. Besides you have a boyfriend,” I tell her and watch her face sour. “I don’t actually, I’m kinda the non slutty cheerleader,” She tells me and now I’m really wondering what is the point of a dance if she doesn’t have a partner. “Never thought all cheerleaders were slutty and at least you’re using a love of partying to further yourself,” I state and the compliment doesn’t go unnoticed.

“So I have to report to Kori? Okay call her,” Tania asks and I dial up the line. Kori sounds a shit ton better and I hand it off as she speaks with Tania, they are having a girl conversation and I wait patiently as they discuss whatever it is she wanted to talk about. They are on the phone for five minutes or so when the Tania hangs up the line and hands me back my phone.

“We’re good to go then, I’ll talk with the art club and that will get the ball rolling,” Tania tells me grabbing her bag. “Alright then I’ll let you get back to what you need to do,” I tell her and watch as she almost leaves the room.

She’s hesitating; I know that much but why. Either she wants to do something or not but I don’t understand hesitation in a free and open situation. I mean worst that can happen is you get told no. I stand up from my chair before coming around the table that served as a meeting desk. Tania is looking at me and it’s about five hot seconds of just standing there before she drops her bag and I have her in my arms with our tongues exploring each other’s mouth. I’m ready to go and I can tell she is too but since she’s not pushing the envelope I keep myself cool and sure enough she starts to cool down as well. We finally separate ourselves a little bit and while she’s still hot she’s reining it in.

“This dance goes off, and I mean well and Kori said I have permission to see if the rumors are true,” Tania states catching her breath. “And what rumors are those,” I ask curious. “You’ll find out after Thanksgiving if this works,” Tania tells me grabbing her bag and exiting the room.

I shake my head; Kori even when sick is setting me up for new experiences. I’m honestly beginning to wonder if there is going to be a point where my girls are going to want other guys. I know they’ve never said anything but I figure I’ll have to bring it up around the end of the school year. I do relook at the dance planning, it won’t be too big budget but we’ll just have to see what happens.

In case nobody told you dance planning is boring as fuck. Yes we want this type of music, no we need that over there by three feet, yes we want to sit down to eat since there is catering. It’s repetitive bullshit. Mercifully over the next two weeks and few days the dance came together. All the decorations are set and we’re looking at a damn near full house with ticket sales and some of the student leadership is even doing a King and Queen voting. I’m excluded due to my presidency just like the rest of the leadership. Personally I’m getting ready and my Dad is helping me with my tuxedo, so many fucking little things and the order to put them on in is a pain in my ass. Mercifully Dad also secretly packed me an overnight bag and has made sure the reservation and my clothing is set up, Mr. Prepared has done me a solid. I am ready when I hear some light commotion from the living room and decide to join the festivities. I’m greeted by Kyle in a very sharp tuxedo with a tie, mine doesn’t have one. I have a simply onyx stone right where my tie should be.

“Guy you look good man,” Kyle greets me with and I smile. “Yeah well this is supposed to be one of those nights to look good for,” I reply and we’re both smiling till he looks over my shoulder and stops. I turn and see my sister, Elizabeth, all decked out in a silver dress strapless dress and I can honestly say there is a Disney princess somewhere calling her a bitch with her hair and makeup done to perfection. Kyle is actually a little speechless and finally finds himself.

“Elizabeth, wow, I’m not sure I can accurately describe that you look… wow,” Kyle manages to get out to a chuckle from me. I let the two of them take their pictures with Mom holding the camera while I shake hands with Dad and give Mom a surprise kiss before stepping out and getting into the limo Dad rented for me and the girls. I’m inside and give the first address to the driver who nods and we’re down the road. Mathilda is first and I’m actually a little nervous as we pull up and I cross the yard to her front door. I knock and wait patiently till the door opens and I see Matty’s father standing before me only he looks a little… off.

“Come in Guy,” He mutters rubbing his eyes. “Thank you Mr. Amdahl,” I reply closing the door after me,” Are you okay sir?” “No boy, yes I am, fuck,” Matty’s father mutters before turning and grabbing me by the shoulder,” Boy that’s my baby girl, she’s all I got and now she’s a pretty angel and I’m losing my baby.”

Yep, single parent and he’s missing a wife like crazy right now. I get him set down and hear a voice from the back of the house tell me ‘Just a second’ before I hear footfalls and I’m standing face to face with Matty. Let me rephrase that, I’m face to face with my Amazon and she’s clad in an almost golden ball gown with her hair done up and white gloves up to her elbows. I must be smiling big before we both turn to the biggest concern in the room, her father.

“Daddy you said you’d be strong for me tonight,” Matty says to her father giving him a hug. “Baby it’s hard, you’re so damn pretty and I’m so happy for you,” He tells her holding it in. “Sir if I may make a suggestion that my father had for me earlier. My parents are home tonight having a get together with a couple other parents. Maybe it’ll be best if after we leave you head over to my folks house and stay with them. It’ll be better to have company if you’re feeling down tonight,” I tell Mr. Amdahl who nods lightly.

Mathilda and I let him take a few pictures before his daughter gives him another hug and we finally return to the car to go pick up Kori. On the way over I pin the corsage on Matty and she cuddles me a little bit on the way over. She’s in happy girl mode the whole trip over and decides to wait in the car while I head up to get Kori, I bring the corsage this time and almost knock as the door opens and Mrs. Patrick answers.

“Guy you are right on time, she just got done with her makeup and wasn’t waiting long,” Kori’s Mom tells me as I step inside. I shake hands with Carl, Kori’s stepfather and Mrs. Patrick’s husband, and the three of us idly chat when we hear the door to the bathroom open and I’m quiet as all hell as Kori greets me from the top of the stairs. Matty went ball gown but Kori went evening dress. Her hair is down a bit with some braids and a little jewelry but the dress is killer, black strapless with sequins and a purple sash around her waist. It doesn’t come close to the ground and I can see Kori is wearing heels just to match my height and probably Matty’s too.

“Oh my god you look amazing sweetie,” Mrs. Patrick tells her daughter as she makes her way down to me. I take Kori’s hand and immediately kiss the back of it as she smiles. I let her mom and Carl take about a million pictures of us doing the little things like pinning on the corsage and a couple photo before she grabs her overnight bag and we’re back in the car and down the road towards the school. I’m actually excited, I didn’t think I’d be excited for the dance but I kind of am considering something I’ve been working on with Kyle for the past couple weeks. It’s a packed house and people are arriving in all sorts of vehicles but I see we’re pulling into a spot at the front and I’m out of the limo first taking Kori’s hand to help her out then Mathilda’s before I get a kiss on the cheek from the two of them and we enter the dance.
