ANNE POV

**flashback**

I am putting my lip gloss when my mother appeared on my door frame. Smiling proudly looking at me. Her motherly smile never bother me before. But tonight it seems to stop me from what I am doing right now.

“Mom…” I said grabbing a piece of earring. My mother come over and grab it from my hand while come closer and attached it to my ear. I stand still fidgeting with my manicured fingers.

“Honey, you look beautiful.” she said, smiling holding my shoulder. I smile.

“ You think so? I don't think black is a good choice….”

“ Look sweetheart.. black is a safe colour, an elegant safe colour. Anybody wear black look gorgeous, and adding confident to their silhouette.” she explained.

“ And you are beautiful, in any colour, Anne.” she add, her eyes tearing. I quickly hold her hand.

“Aw, mom. No need to cry, I am here, and am not going anywhere, yet. I am just going to a prom..” I add, and smile reassuringly.

“Yes, yet. My only baby girl will leave me soon. And I am going to stay with you old man.” she said pouting. I chuckled.

“Aww, mama, I will make sure he is going to take a very good care of you. Or else….” I said tapping my chin, and tilted my head up pretending to think.

“ He will face my wrath..?” I said asking her seriously before laughing hard. She follow laughing with me.

“ I will miss this moment, baby girl.” she said slow down her laugh before hugged me.

“ Go have fun, your date will be here soon, I guess.” she add, releasing me from her. Suddenly the doorbell rang. She look at the open door.

“ Speak of the devil,” she whispered, chuckling. Well, me too, but nervously.

“Well, I go check on the door.”

I nodded and walked slowly to the stand mirror at the corner of my room checking myself.

My long two piece A shape gown fitted almost perfectly on my body. The halter neck top fitted perfectly on my bust giving me decent but sexy look. I smile nervously to myself.

“Daniella Anne, your date is here!” my mother yelled from downstairs.

“Yep, I’ll be down in a second!” I looked into the mirror once again, before releasing a huge breath.

“Let’s do this,”

I walk downstairs slowly peeking through the open corner to the living room. My heart beats loudly in my chest. I am very nervous, I guessed because tonight was the first time I actually dressed up for someone.

He was there, standing beside the cleopatra coach at the front door wearing a black suit with a black tie. Almost a perfect match to me. My mother was with him while my father was nowhere to be found.

My heels clicking sound apparently stopping him talking with my mother. Probably checking the weather. They both looked at me. My mother obviously smile proudly while nudging him. He look at my mother for a millisecond before quickly staring at me.

His glazed almost catching me off guard, but I walk nervously to him anyway.

“Oh, Anne. I told you already, but you are so beautiful.” my mother said kissing my cheek.

“Eddy, honey, hurry up! Bring me the camera!” she yelled, obviously to my father.

“Yes, I am here.” my father yelled back. He quickly come up front to us bringing the camera.

“ Here Nick, stand there, and Anne over here.” my mother conduct as if we were in a photoshoot, I rolled my eyes still look anywhere but Nick.

After a few pictures my mother ushered me out telling us for not being late for the dance. So now, I am alone with Kyle Nicholas, my best friend and my date for the night.

I keep my silence while he walk me to his car. A different car obviously, because it was black, his car before was red.

“That is your car?” I ask, stopping midway. He stopped beside me. I looked at him grinning madly. I shaked my head, the perks of being the only son to a businessman, a successful businessman may I add.

“Yep,” popping the p.

“My parents got me a new one since I will be leaving to the college soon.” he said, walking toward the car, opening the passenger door.

“She is beautiful, right?” He asked me, holding the door. I notices it becoming his habit asking me a question before entering his car. I smiled nodding, and I dont know, shyly?.

“and you too,” he added. His voice almost shaking and husky. I stunned and tilted my head looking at him go around the car to the passenger seat.

Something was suddenly clicked in my mind.

“Hey Nicky,” I start, moving my body facing him. And called him by his childhood name may have hint him something. He hummed telling me to continue.

“So, are you going to sell you old car?” I ask. I looked at him slightly looking at me before looking back to the road.

“Why, do you want it?” he ask me back without hesitation. I nodded. I guessed he just know me too well.

“Well, then just take it. I know you loved that car.” he said smiling while rubbing my palm with his thumb.

“No, Nick. How about I buy it? I mean, it may cost me a fortune, but I will buy it. It's a lost if you sell it to a street racer or something or let it keep piling dust in your garage…” I narrated receiving annoyed look from him.

“Just……” he started, I looked at him expectantly.

“take it, Anne. I know I am giving him to someone I trust.” he smile. An honest smile.

Silenced.

“Thank you, Nick.” I said slowly watching him turning the steering to a corner. He looked at me.

“For what? We promise not to mention about this right.” he said.

“Yeah, but thank you anyway, for at least being my date tonight. I am a loser.” I said, almost whispered at the last sentences.

“Hey, no need to say that to yourself. Look, I am a loser myself, you know.” he said taking my hand into him.

“Yeah, you are a biggest loser too!” I replied chuckling. He shocked looking at me. He chuckled afterwards.

“Well, you see. I maybe late asking her to be my date. But you know, I will be her first dance tonight. Wait and see.” he said confidently.

“Yeah, I can see that already, Nick.”

“Just make sure to make the move faster this time, your overconfident had you lose her the first time,... I saw.” I said mocking him, pressing the last word.

“Hahaha, very funny. You just wait.” he said pulling over into the parking space of our school.

“Let's do this!” he add opening my door. I walk out and followed him while he intertwined our fingers.

I am at the drinks table enjoying my lonely self when someone grabbing my shoulder turning me toward her or him. It was Nick. He look a mess, his hair was messy and his eyes were dark.

“ Hey, Nick, I thought you-....” my mouth was shut up by his lips. I stunned, after a few second, I pushed his chest away to tell him that this is wrong, thinking that maybe Stephanie will see us.

But he dont bulged a bit. His kiss was roughed and sloppy. I keep pushing him until my eyes land on them. There on the dance floor, Stephanie and Derek were kissing passionately as if the dance floor was theirs.

Suddenly, Nick stopped and rested his forehead on mine. Releasing a huge breath fanning my face. We were inches apart and I can see he is disappointed and heartbroken .

My hand slowly creeped up his neck and to his jaw. Giving him a reassuring smile, telling him it's alright. Just like I always do.

I am to tell him there is plenty of other girl that he can devoting himself to but instead..

I searched for his eyes, small smile appear on my lips. He looked at me confused. I hold down his neck, and bring himself to me. Our lips barely touch before he grab my waist, holding me close to him and deepen the kiss.

He kissed me passionately, never like before, this time was soft and sweet.

That was our first kiss.

A chapter for their flashback, and the point where all of this mess up begins.

so for who is wondering, why the hell a kiss was a problem, then let me tell you, a kiss supposed to be something special and sweet, and appreciated after that.
