I honestly cannot believe what went down this weekend, and it only began three days ago. On friday morning, my family packed our bags into the back of my Dad's SUV and headed off to Cincinnati, Ohio, the city where I was born. The boy who I found on facebook back in December? He asked me to prom :) So after about a month of convincing and a couple arguments that could have won me awards on the debate team, I convinced them that they, as well as I, wanted to go (I even had my sisters saying they wanted to go. I needed backup). By 1pm we were in town, and I could barely contain myself.
Now two issues are to be considered here when I talk about Prom. Do i have a boyfriend? yep. Am i still going to go to prom with a guy I havent seen in twelve years? You betcha. Of course, I did what any good girlfriend would do. Ask him if it's okay with the intention of going no matter what he said. I deserve a medal or something,
Anyways, we get to the hotel, where Charlie is supposed to pick me up. I'm not in the room for five minutes when I get a text: "I'm here :)". At that moment, I could've sworn that the stampede from The Lion King was galloping through my chest. With my parents right behind me, I went downstairs and basically tackled the poor guy. He can get over it. Twelve years is a long time. A few menacing looks from my Dad later, we were out the door and staring at each other like you would stare at Fluffy from the Harry Potter series (only with huge grins).
We went mini golfing, which I discovered I'm dominant at (four hole in ones. That's what's up.) Two games later and we were back in his car to his parents house. His parents were just as sweet as I remembered them, and it was weird how comfortable I was around all of them, like I had never left in the first place. Skyline for dinner and Graeters afterwards. Frack. Yes.
Onto prom. I spent most of the morning getting ready (hair done, nails, makeup, all that crap). When I finally got to Charlie's house, he comes out in a black tuxedo with a silver vest and bowtie. He looked so good! I never would have known there was a problem with the tuxedo if I hadnt picked out the vest fromt he back of his car the previous day around 3....Anyways, foury bajillion pictures and a pre-prom gathering later, we were at the prom.
Yep. Creepers. I was prepared. Charlie had warned me, and he didn't disappoint. But we did have an awesome time dancing and just goofing off with his friends. I got tons of compliments on my dress, and i felt pretty even though Charlie kept stepping on my dress the whole night (i believe that's one punch for me, correct?)
After prom was sooooo much fun! Charlie let me win on an inflatable obstacle course. I woul've wom fair and square if my pants weren't falling down the whole night....Neither of us won anything, but oh well, we still had fun :)
I stayed the night at his house after the after prom, which we both got crap from our friends for. It was 4am, and we're at his house in the basement talking about lord knows what (i think it was about how unattractive smoking was...who knows). We tried sneaking around his house after his parents were asleep, but I ruined it by falling asleep. Dangit.
Morning came too soon. I refused to say goodbye because Lord knows we'll be right back on skype ASAP :) Next misson: Get Charlie here for the Harry Potter Deathly Hallows Part 2 premier!
Charlie, if you're reading this, thank you :) I had an amazing time with you this weekend and I can't wait till I get to see you in person again! Hope we gave your friends something to gossip about for a while ;)
