Time for a night to remember (Slate, Holly)

[Slate Cummings]

Slate stood in front of the mirror in his bedroom, giving himself the once over. Tie was straight, jacket buttoned (although that would come off while driving to get Holly), shoes nicely polished. If someone had asked him when he was a kid if he'd ever think he'd see this day, he give a resounding No! But here it was senior year prom and going with a girl who he deemed sweethot. He looked over at the door way and saw his brother looking on.

"You look like James Bond like that." JD commented while hanging around the doorframe.

"Well thank you, I see that as a high compliment." Slate mussed up JD's hair before heading downstairs.

He head the gasp from his mom and some ooh's from his sister and dad. "Hold on son, we want some pictures first." First it was Slate and mom then dad, then both and finally the whole family.

"Ok now for the final touch." His mom got the boutineer and corsage from the fridge and pinned it on him. "My handsome boy, even shaved off the soul patch!"

Slate grinned. "Its only hair, it'll come back." He took the corsage from his mom. "I will see you all tomorrow."

"Bye have a great time!" They all sent him on his merry way.

He had the good car tonight and drove to Holly's house. He kept the car in idle as he went to the door and rang the bell.

There was a burning center of excitement in the middle of HOlly's stomach as she slid her feet into the slick black heels. There was no one else home at the moment, her parents had taken off to Tahoe for the weekend, which meant Holly was getting ready for her senior Prom alone. Not that she minded actually, hell her parents barely registered the fact that she was dating someone anyway.

Standing now that she had her shoes on, Holly checked herself one final time. She knew that Slate would be there soon, and she wanted to be downstairs to meet the door. She had chosen a short, hot pink number. It was accented with black sequins across the bust and down the center of the dress. It was sleeveless and hugged her body nicely. She had added a pair of black lace gloves to complete the look. her hair was pulled back in a french twist. It was simple and she was gorgeous.

She knew Slate was driving them tonight, his extra money was tied up. Instead of a limo for the evening, he confessed that he had rented them a nice hotel room, which set a delicious tingle through her body. She'd left her overnight bag in his car the day before so hopefully he'd remember it for later that night. She heard a car pull into the drive, and glanced out her window. He was there!

Hol made her way downstairs just as she heard the doorbell ring. She walked over and opened the door, leaning lightly on the door frame. "Hello Mr. Bond" She grinned at him. Damn he looked good.

Slate was looking down when the door opened. "Oh hi, I..." he stopped when he saw Holly.

His mouth dropped. "Wow, you look...amazing, I'm gonna have to beat off guys with both hands." He realized what he had just said. "I mean I'll have to keep the guys away." He felt his face redden at his slip up. "I think I'll keep quiet so I don't get into any more trouble."

"But first," He held the box the corsage was in. "I got one of those wrist style corsages since I wasn't sure what your dress would look like. I think I made a good choice." He slid it on around the wrist.

"You're going to be one of the...no, you WILL be the hottest girl there tonight and I will be the luckiest guy."

He stepped in closer to Holly and kissed her deeply.

Slate was speechless, and Holly loved it! However, the first coherent thought that came out of her boyfriend's mouth made her laugh. "Oh..that's fantastic!" She laughed still, all sorts of images running through her head. "Can I record that please?" She grinned at him.

She ran a hand down his cheek lovingly. "Oh stop...I knew what you meant.." She smiled wickedly at him. That smile softened as Slate held out the corsage he had brought for her, sliding it onto her wrist. "Smart choice..and it's beautiful." Holly told him.

His words made her melt. "And I have the best guy there..not only is he gorgeous, but hes sweet, gentle and has the best manners around!" She squeaked as she found herself being kissed deeply, damn near being pinned against the door frame. "Damn hun.." She panted against his mouth. "Hotel room later..can we make it through Prom first?"
