Closed With You, Always

[Winnie Calida]

Winnie could admit that she was a little nervous about heading back home, things at school were just easier and better. But, at the very least, she had done all of the work necessary to really allow herself to just relax and go to the dance with Vikram. There wasn't going to be anyone else she'd be willing to go with after all. She had put on a nice dress, one that was pretty but modest, and was waiting for him at the hall, having been so excited for attending the school event, that she'd got ready in record time. She was watching as others danced, just happy to do that as she did wait for him.

 

[Vikram Bakshi]

Vikram took a little longer getting ready that night, slipping into a tailored suit. He felt a little lanky, like his limbs were too long, and he was starting to notice cracks in his voice. It was a bit embarrasing, really, but he tried not to let all the aggravations of puberty starting to get through to him. Once he was satisfied he was as good lookig as he could manage (and with a copius amount of deoderant) he headed down to the ball. He felt a little guilty that Winnie was already there. He gave her a sheepish grin as he approached, offering out his hand. "Hello, Winnie. You look beautiful today. I'm sorry I'm late," He managed without his voice breaking, a feat he was a little proud of. He relaxed a little, hoping that he could keep it together through the night.

 

[Winnie Calida]

Winnie smiled at him when he finally arrived and just gave a little shrug. "Don't make a habit of it," she told him, she didn't mind when he was late, but she knew that being late wasn't good, and she didn't want to always be waiting. "Thank you, though, my mother picked it out for me," she told him it wasn't the dress she had wanted to go for, but her mother wasn't wrong about it being a nice one and suiting her. "YOu look nice too,"

 

[Vikram Bakshi]

Vikram chuckled and offered out his arm. "You have my word," he crossed his fingers over his heart. "Maybe next time I'll pick you up early and escort you up here," He offered, thinking it would be more gentlemanly.

 

[Winnie Calida]

Winnie took his arm and rolled her eyes a little as he spoke. Thinking that it would be nice for him to do that, though she wasn't going to force anything. "That would be nice," she told him. "Thankfully, my parents really don't mind the valentine's dance, so you can make it up to me then," she told him.

Vikram chuckled. "I think you'll find out I have an amazing power to win your parents over to my side of thinking," He winked playfully. "I've got plenty of little tricks to make your life easier." He went to try and catch her hand, meaning to press a kiss to the back of it. "Does the lady have any wishes I could fulfill?" He teased her gently.
