"Henry Lau..." she says from the other side of the door, pulling on her pajama's top and arranging her bangs and making sure her short hair was ruffled just the right way "W-why are you here?" She finally opens the door. And for the first time that night she gets a good look at him. Damn, he looked so fine with his hair slightly slicked-back. He was wearing the tux Soojung picked for her and Amber thinks her heart stopped a bit, making her finally believe that men look best in suits. Damn all this
She thinks because damn indeed, he came at the very moment she had finally realized she had feelings for this person right here. perfect timing. Now she has no idea she had been gaping for who-knows how long before she realizes oh right! I'm still in my pj's-- "H-hi Amber..." his voice wavers and Amber openly appreciates how cute that was with a smile "I umm..." "S-so prom's over?" Henry was constantly shifting his weight from his heels to his toes, hand behind his neck "N-no. That's why I'm... here...." These two, I could slap some sense into them. A stuttering mess! "What do mean?" "Can I come in?" She gestures him to come in, maybe he was afraid her parents would hear him "I see mom made you come in the house..." "Yeah." He was standing stiffly just in the center of her room. This was so unlike him. He seems so nervous. PLUS HE'S IN HIS TUX! "What's going on?" Amber is slowly sinking in her own shame because she recalls she is still in her pajamas He clears his throat
"Since I am the school's student council president... I must say I feel insulted that you didn't come to the event I had prepared miss Liu." Amber raises her brow, arms crossed across her chest "So? Are you gonna arrest me?" "So to guarantee that my efforts would be appreciated by all the students, since I kinda worked my off for this prom, I bring you special service." "Special service?" Amber laughs "Also, I just really want to take you to prom. Even  just this moment. Even this late an hour. I'm desperate miss Liu. Please don't reject me this time. I have gone this far..." he reaches for the corsage from his pocket as he slowly makes his way close to her Amber knows her room wasn't that big. What she doesn't remember is that this room was this stuffy that it's hard for her to breathe at the moment. So this was why he was being extra weird. She raises her right hand and allows him to tie the ribbon. "We don't have to leave you know? We can have our very own prom right here right now" "Don't worry. I won't reject, you poor thing" she chuckles, observing hus shaky hands tie it in a neat ribbon "and here I was thinking you were here for a late night study session." He shakes his head. Henry never felt this alive this late at night. All his senses were tingling. The mere fact that she didn't reject him, nor insult him. Ah, what more could he ask for. He lowers his upper body for a gentlemanly bow, raises his head and hand. "May I have this dance?" Amber laughs at his overly formal gesture "sorry I don't have a fancier pajama"
A bright idea pops in, she walks to her bed and pulls out her blanket.
She ties it around her waist for a makeshift long gown skirt "Fashionable" Henry laughs "You left me no choice" She takes his hand and notices it was all sweaty, she gives him a look "What, you think I wouldn't be nervous?!" Amber sets a song and Alanis Morisette's voice come in singing Head Over Feet "Alanis?" Henry laughs in disbelief that Amber listens to love songs like these "What? I relate to it, okay?" He extends his hand "milady..." Amber chuckles while doing a curtsy, hands on both sides of her blanket skirt He seizes her waist, while she puts both her hands on his shoulders. She was still clad in her pajama's long-sleeved top, and Henry can smell that donut scent again.  How he loved that scent. He recalls her notes smell like that too. Her entire room smelled the same. Sweet. He looks at her face but Amber couldn't help but look at the floor. She was uneasy but she loved how is feels right now. Then the chorus comes in You've already won me over
In spite of me
And don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
And don't be surprised if I loved you for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault! Then it hits Henry "Hey..." She looks up at him. Now they are eye to eye. "Yeah?" "Didn't you say you relate to this song?" She looks away. A single hesitant nod. "Coincidentally... I do, too. I really like you, Amber. I wish you would--" "I know. I like you, too." "Pardon?" "I said I like you, too..." They stop swaying. And as the second chorus comes in, Amber only remembers the pride she felt that maybe Henry was enjoying how her lips improved from putting on chapstick more than three times a day considering he was kissing her longer this time. She had to kiss back. She had to. Right now Henry doesn't want to ask any questions. All he wants is to dance with her in her pajamas and her blanket dress to the rythm of slow music with her head on his shoulder. Everything he did was all worth the while. Even if it meant this was all just for tonight. Even if this was all just for this very second. "Will you go out with me?" He finally asks when the fourth music stops "We could try" she shrugs, smiling "Studies come first of course!" He was quick to make up for it before she might storm on him "Especially since you still have that competition" "Yeah..." he sighs. But it was a sigh of contentment. He swears he will make her proud in the said competition. He'll make his girlfriend proud. "It's getting late. You should get home" she pats the side of his shoulder "Yeah. See you tomorrow?" "Oh yeaaah, you got a shift tomorrow. Don't be absent again." "I won't be. The boss is my girl" he winks Amber shoves him to the door "shut up. Get out" she laughs as she leans on her door, sighing the same content sigh Henry did. To: Henry :)      
I had fun. Good night.
Oh, I forgot to mention you look great in a suit  ^^

Good night. Sweet dreams <3 And just like that, Amber anticipates the next day once more.
