Beau- The Night of the Dance

I touched my fingers to the gel that held back my sand-colored curls. My fingers came away slightly sticky, but thankful none of those curls have decided to go rogue tonight.

I was straightening my tie as I leaned against Harper’s hotel door, joking with myself about how I’d try and get the lovely Cherie to kiss me tonight.

As if on cue, the door opened and revealed the heavenly angel herself.

Harper was dressed in a gorgeous crimson dress that had little gold pearls dabbling the skirt, contrasting fantastically against her midnight-black hair. She also had gold rose earrings in, which would go perfectly with the little gold Eiffel Tower necklace I had in my pocket.

“Hello, beautiful,” I said, trying to shake myself from her stunning beauty. She looked up startled, as I took a step toward her and set my hands on her well-defined waist. She was leaning half of her weight on one of the crutches under her arm. I leaned in to plant a kiss on her lips but decided to tease her instead and plant one on her soft cheek. A bit of her makeup stuck to my lips, but I didn’t mind.

She stood there, shocked for a second as she took me in, before grabbing my tie and twirling it between her fingers, leaning in closer to me.

I licked my lips... this is it, this is the moment when I finally get to kiss those pink soft lips that are always edged into a grin.

But just as I parted my lips she tugged my tie and sent me stumbling forward.

What the hell? This has never happened before...

“You got the wrong red for your tie,” she said with a smirk, then pivoted on her crutch and walked in the other direction.

I tried to collect my thoughts as I stumbled after her.

“You're not going to tell me I look handsome-or kiss me? Come on!” Her smirk turned into a devilish grin, as she poked me in the chest.

“And let you outshine me? Oh no.”

I rolled my eyes, “One of these days you're going to kiss me... I guarantee it!”

She laughed and stepped into the elevator in front of us.

“The chances of that are... 1-100!”
