Night of Our Lives

Grace might have been a whole year premature, but she'd been looking at flats, specifically ones above small business buildings that were also for rent. Grace wanted to open up a small photography studio and share a flat with her girlfriend upstairs. It would be perfect. Beyond perfect really. If it ended up happening. There was a whole year where it could end, but Grace just wanted to be prepared for the future if the future happened.

Grace was fixing her hair, staring at the bright yellow dress on the hanger across from her. She was a little distracted by the thought of dancing the night away with her girlfriend. She finished her hair and stood, sliding the dress from her feet up and having someone zip it from behind.

Grace had arranged for Tamara to meet her down the stairs and with careful steps down them. She looked down and found Tamara and Grace blushed slightly as she met eyes with her.

Great minds think a like then. She had also started looking at flats as well. Tamara had been thinking about her and Grace’s future together. She really hoped that there was a future with Grace. Tamara literally could not imagine her life without Grace and she hoped that they would be together after they graduated.

That morning she delivered a vase with a beautiful daisy arrangement for Grace. Tamara insisted on only the best for her. She finished putting in one last bobby pin and pulled on her heels. Tamara giggled, remembering Grace’s very specific instructions for where they’d meet up at the dance. She hurried to the spot down the stairs and waited for Grace. Like normal, Tamara was a little bit early.

She heard the heels on the stairs then turned around, their eyes meeting. Butterflies danced in her stomach at the sight of Grace. Her beautiful girlfriend. She grinned happily and met her at the bottom of the stairs. Tamara excitedly kissed her then pulled away. “Grace, you are and look so beautiful.” She kissed her cheek.

"Th-Thank you Tamara. You look very beautiful too." Grace kissed her gently and pulled her into the grand hall. Grace was so excited to dance with Tamara. She adored doing that when they got the rare opportunity to dance with Tamara. Of course now that they were sixth years they were able to attend the St. Valentine's Dance. The biggest dance of the year was St. Valentine's. Everyone went with their partners. Soon, Grace and Tamara were on the floor and Grace began to dance with Tamara. They were doing a very slow, but very fun dance to do. Grace wrapped her arms around Tamara's neck and blushed.
