Rex's POV:

It was the big day. I knew from the very start that Becca will go to the prom with me still I tried to make the promposal as grand as I could.

I had my suit ready and I got it in a shade that would match with Rebekah’s dress which her dad gave her the last time he came to Seattle to visit us. I got a Kingston Claret Red slim suit because when I tried it in the showroom for the first time I couldn’t take my eyes off it.

I tried many more suits after that but none caught my attention the way it did. Rey had finalised on a royal blue and black custom dinner jacket and pants.

It was actually April’s gift to him when they completed six months of their relationship. Austin wasn’t attending the prom as he was in Malibu with his parents for the opening ceremony of his father’s new business unit.

Alan, on the other hand, had decided to wear a black slim fit dinner suit. He wasn’t really interested to attend the prom but was doing it for Stella as she was excited to enjoy the best part of high school with her girlfriends.

It was 6:00 p.m. already and I had to meet Becca at 7:00 sharp. I decided to take a shower after the workout that I was forced to do by Rey.

He is really making me focus on my physique these days. After taking a shower, I put on the suit and paired it with burgundy loafers.

I applied some gel on my hair to keep them intact throughout the night and slicked them neatly backwards. I removed my glasses and put on the lenses that I was used to wearing from the past one year.

Thanks to Rebekah for knocking some fashion sense into the nerd I was. I looked in the mirror and I was quite satisfied with the way the entire look had turned out to be.

I still had ten minutes before leaving my place to pick Rebekah for the prom. I sat on the edge of my bed and called Shane.

He was that person who was managing the details of the surprise that I had planned for Rebekah after the prom. I knew this was probably the last time we could enjoy together before we both leave for college.

After getting to know that everything was arranged as per the plan, I took my wallet which was lying on the bed and made my way out of my room to pick my prom date. I messaged her once I was in the driveway of her building.

Minutes later, I got a reply from her saying that she will be there in a minute. I felt nervous while I waited for her impatiently while tapping my foot on the car floor.

Although the weather was cold outside, my palms were sweating and I could feel small water droplets forming on my forehead. Just then I saw her walking towards the car while she flipped her hair to her right shoulder and I swear my heart stopped for a second.

She was wearing a burgundy coloured mermaid lace dress that had a V-neck and a sweep lace train. She had braided the left side of her hair and had tied them up in a messy low ponytail.

Her makeup was minimal but it still highlighted her perfect nose and those sharpened cheekbones. She looked like an angel who had just stepped down from heaven to grace the earthlings with just a glance of the breath taking beauty she was.

I stepped down from the car and hugged her immediately. “How do you manage to look so pretty always? What great work have I done to get a girlfriend who is so goddamn pretty that it makes me want to be better for her?”, I said while looking at her eyes that were looking more hypnotizing because of the different colour lenses that she had tried.

She blushed before kissing me on my lips and then she said, “This colour suits you baby! I wish I could go back to the apartment right now and discover the feast that lies beyond this blazer.” I could feel the heat igniting in all the wrong parts of my body and I just bit my lip before opening the car door for her.

Rebekah’s POV:

By the time we reached the hotel where the prom was held, it was already 7:30 p.m. I stepped down from the car while Rex held my train for me.

He then lend me his hand that I graciously took and walked towards the entrance. As soon as I walked inside, I saw Rey and April standing near the drink counter.

We walked towards them and as soon as April saw me her lips formed into an ‘O’. She elbowed Rey who was looking at the dance floor previously and this urged him to look at me.

“Hey guys!”, I said while taking a can of Pepsi from the counter. “You both look so good together”, April said while she looked at us with her big brown eyes.

I looked at Rex who was already looking at me and passed him a big smile before asking Rey, “Have you brought any hard drinks? I really don’t want to enjoy prom as a saintly sober person.” He smiled at me before removing a vodka bottle from his pocket and emptying it into my drink.

I kissed him on the cheeks before taking a sip of my 'not so virgin' drink. I then took a second to notice April’s dress and without a second thought I complimented her, “You are looking so pretty, April. Lace dresses look good on you.”

She looked at her own dress before a wide grin spread on her face and she mouthed a thank you to me. She was wearing a blue grey coloured tulle lace dress with long ruffles and a perfect V neck. It looked pretty amazing on her.

“Where are Alan and Stella?”, I asked Rey while looking around to catch a glimpse of the Romeo and Juliet of our group. Rey pointed his finger towards the dance floor and there they were, crazily jumping around while a big smile was plastered on their faces.

Stella looked like a Femina model in that elegant grape gradient-colour dress. It was an off-the-shoulder, see through dress and her hair style did wonders to her perfect round face.

She had tied her auburn hair in a messy bun with a few curls left behind, framing her face in a beautiful way. “Let’s dance”, I said to Rex as the alcohol had already entered my system and was messing with my head.

He took my hand in his and we made our way to the dance floor. As soon as I heard the song ‘Rollercoaster’ playing in the background, it drove me nuts.

We were soon joined by Rey and April and all six of us danced together while screaming the lyrics on top of our lungs. Then the DJ turned the music to a slow one and I took this as a chance to grab a glass of water.

I watched my friends dancing with their partners, so crazily in love and it made my heart flutter. Just then Rex came in front of me and pulled out his hand, “May I have this dance with you?”

A hiccup left my mouth at his words and I gladly took his hand. He kept his right hand on my waist and held my hand with his left one.

He pulled me closer to him until my body was touching his. I could feel that he was hard for me.

He licked his lower lip and I could see his pupils dilating when his eyes rested on my cleavage. He nuzzled into my neck and I closed my eyes when I felt him nibbling my earlobe.

I dug my nails into his shoulders trying to control the tickling between my legs. “Shit”, I muttered under my breath when all I could think of was getting fucked by him right then.

Luckily, the music stopped and I was pulled back from a horny world. “Guys, let’s take pictures”, Stella said while pulling Alan’s jacket.

We then took a million photos, some better than the rest. I looked drunk in almost all the pictures and who won’t be, after consuming a whole lot of alcohol.

After bidding our farewell to all the others, we made our way back to our car. I slumped back in my seat while I peeped out of the window to experience the cold winter air.

“You missed the turn off to my apartment”, I said Rex while his eyes were focused on the road. He sent the driver off after he dropped us at the prom venue, so now we were on our own.

“We’re not going home tonight”, he answered with a smile on his face, still not looking at me. After a twenty minutes ride, he stopped the car in front of the beach.

“We are staying on the beach?”, I asked him with my mouth slightly open. “Remove your heels and walk with me”, he said while he removed his shoes and held them in his hands.

I looked at him in complete shock as I really thought that he had gone bonkers to walk on the beach on a cold winter night without an overcoat. He nodded at me to do as he said and I obliged even when I thought it was a bad idea.

He then interlinked our fingers together and we walked on the beach. The soft sand tickled my feet and I slowly felt my intoxication fading. The soft breeze flowed through my hair making it run in all directions.

I could see a tent set up at a distance and it was lit by Christmas lights. I looked at Rex in complete awe while he pushed his hands in his pockets.

I jumped up and down before running towards the tent.

She went towards the entrance of the tent and stopped when she saw the rose petals lying on the sand. I had given orders to set a mattress in the tent along with pillows and blankets.

There laid two bottles of champagne and also some take-over chinese food. There was also a TV set up so that we could watch movies in our time together.

“I can’t believe you did this. This is so fucking unbelievable”, she said while pulling me in a hug. I hugged her tightly before she took my hand and took me inside the tent.

We sat down on the mattress and I gave her a bag which had some casual clothes. “Change in these. I am sure you don’t want to spend the night in this”, I said while pointing at her dress.

She took the bag from my hand and looked at me while biting her lower lip. “What?”, I said while I raised an eyebrow at her.

“Get out, will you? Just because you are my boyfriend and you have arranged such a lovely surprise for me, it doesn’t earn you the special privilege of seeing me naked, not tonight”, she said while sticking her tongue out. I pouted at her before grabbing another bag and making my way outside.

Five minutes later, I stood outside the tent changed into a white full sleeve t-shirt and navy blue sweatpants. “Can I come now?”, I asked her while I tried peeping in the tent.

“Stop looking inside. I can see your shadow”, she said while giggling. She then peeped her head out and said, “Come in.”

She looked at me while I opened the bottle of champagne and then said, “Did you seriously change outside?” I shrugged before saying, “No one comes to this part of the beach. It is sort of private. So, yes I changed outside.”

We ate the chinese food that I found so damn yummy even though it was from the same place that we always ate from. Maybe it tasted better because I was so fucking hungry.

“Mmm…these meet balls are to die for”, she said while closing her eyes in pleasure. I smiled at her reaction.

We then laid on the mattress watching the movie ‘Midnight sun’ until it was almost 4:00 in the morning. Rebekah got sentimental when the female lead died in the end.

I scooted her closer in my arms and kissed her on the top of her head while stroking her hair. “Why did this happen? They loved each other. How can the director do this to her?”, she said, looking at me while tears rolled down her cheeks.

I smiled at her innocence before saying, “Come, let’s write a letter to the director saying how bad he is!” She glared at me before sitting up.

She murmured ‘How rude’ softly but it was loud enough for me to hear. “Want to go outside?”, I asked her while I stroked her cheek with my thumb.

“Yes, but let me grab an overcoat first”, she said while taking the black coat that was kept at the corner. We went outside the tent and the cold breeze hit our bodies making us freeze for a second.

Her cheeks grew red with the chilling cold and I could see her rubbing her hands. She then touched the water by dipping her toe inside and immediately jerked back.

“It’s literally ice cold”, she said before turning back to look at me.

As soon as I turned around I saw him sitting on his knees with a ring case in his hand. He opened the box and my heart did a somersault looking at the blue sapphire diamond on the ring.

The ring had a rose gold accented prong and the diamond shined when the moon’s dim light fell on it. Automatically, my hand went over my mouth as I couldn’t really believe that it was actually happening.

“You have made my life so much better by just being in it. You have made me a changed person and you are the reason I look forward to each day with hope and love in my heart. I never knew that I could be so satisfied with my life but after you entered, I am the happiest person on this earth. Sure, we had our days of fights and misunderstandings but in the end everything turned out to be fine for us and here I am irrevocably and unbelievably in love with you. I want to spend each and every moment of my life with you by my side. So, Rebekah Williams, will you marry me?”, he said while he looked at me in the eyes impatiently waiting for my answer. I sat on my knees just like him and gave him my hand while tears spilled down my cheeks.

He pushed the ring in my ring finger and I looked at my hand which had the ring as a sign of our love that was my biggest strength as well as the reason for my weakness. He hugged me tightly while standing on his feet.

I circled my legs around his waist and he swirled me around while I hugged him tightly. “Did you really said a yes?”, he asked me while placing me back on my feet.

“YES. YES. YES”, I said loudly while I put my palms on his cheek and leaned in for a kiss. We kissed each other and that was the happiest moment of my life.
