The next day, Karine picked Tara up at about 1pm. Karine was going to help Tara get ready for the big PROM night! Karine picked up Taras dress from the tailor place. Tara had bought a long dress, that went all the way down to her feet, and was dark green. Made up of soft material, the dress was fitting, and had two slits, one at each side that went halfway up her leg. The dress had little straps instead of sleeves.
Tara and Karine met up with AJ at the hairplace. Tara wanted AJ's perspective on a possible hairdo, since AJ has awesome ideas when it comes to hair. An hour later, Tara, Karine and AJ went back to Tara's house.
BJ was out Justin, this new guy she was seeing, who's in the band N SYNC. While Tara was in the bathroom changing, AJ and Karine sat down on the couch and watched TV.
"Im soo excited for Tara!!" Karine said.
"Me too, for Nick too! Cuz I know he really loves Tara" AJ said.
"Its really nice to be home for a few days also.. before we head back out on the road" Karine said. The boys had to leave for another tour in a few days, and of course, Karine and Tara were joining them.
A little while later, Tara came out of the bathroom in her dress.
"Wow! You look really pretty!" Karine said to Tara.
"thanks Karine!! Do you think Nick will like it??" Tara asked.
"Tara, if he doesnt, hes blind" AJ said "You look really beautiful!" AJ gave Tara a hug.
"thanks AJ!" Tara said.
"So what are you two doing tonight?" Tara asked Karine and AJ, smiling at them.
"We have our own little plans.." AJ said. "its a surprise for Karine.. so I CANNOT tell you, since Karine is right here"
"A surprise eh?" Karine said.
"Yup, you'll find out later" AJ said. "So what are your plans?" AJ asked Tara, changing the subject so Karine couldnt ask anything.
"Well.. we're going to the prom dinner, then the dance.. then afterwards we're going to the afterparty" Tara said.
"Is it one of those big group afterparties?" AJ said, trying to find out if Tara had anything in mind.
"Yeah, and then we're going to another one.." Tara said grinning.
"Hey what are you grinning about, Tara" AJ said smirking at Tara.
"What? Im planning my own little afterparty.. with Nick" Tara said.
"Tara.. you mean.." Karine said, trailing off her words.
"Karine, we've waited like.. such a LONG time! and I feel like tonight is the night.. I mean, it is the perfect night" Tara said.
"Well just make sure your careful!" Karine said, and hugged Tara.
"So that means I cant have a man to man talk with Nicky boy then?" AJ asked.
"No Alex!" Karine said.
"fine.. but I'll be talking to him tomorrow.. hehe" AJ said.
"God hes soo nosey" Karine said, and she laughed and shook her head.
At around 5pm that night, the large black stretch limo pulled up at Taras beachhouse. Nick stepped out of the limo, wearing a black tuxido that was given to him by one of those big fashion designers.
"Wow..you look.. soo... AMAZING" Nick said to Tara. Nick couldnt take his eyes off of her, she looked soo good in that dress, and she was wearing his favourite color.
"Thanks! You look really great too" Tara said, checking out Nick in his suit.
Nick gave Tara a kiss, and then presented her with a flower corsage for her wrist. Nick put the flower corsage on her wrist, and then gave her a hug.
"I love you" Nick said, giving her another kiss.
"I love you too!" Tara said, kissing him again. Nick led Tara out to the limo, and let her go in first, following her inside. Nick and Tara drove around for a little while, since they still had some time before the dinner started. At around 6:30, they got dropped off at the hotel in disney world, where their prom was being held.
The hotel was large and beautiful, and was fully equipped with a beautiful lake front and large outdoor, AND indoor pool, and monorail access for quick transportation to Magic Kingdom.
Nick and Tara entered the large ballroom of the hotel. The room was decorated very extravagently. Ryan and his date, Jen greeted Tara and Nick when they came into the large room.
"Hey man.. how was the tour?" Ryan asked politely.
"it was real good! Nice being back out there again, doing what I love" Nick replied.
"yeah, we went to your concert the other night.. It was pretty good" Ryan complimented.
"Thanks" Nick said, wrapping his arm around Tara.
"Nice to see you again, Tara" Ryan said to her.
"Thanks, you too" Tara said, still thinking it was a bit awkward seeing Ryan being nice to them.
The graduates sat down at the beautiful and formally set tables that were scattered around the sides of the room. Nick and Tara sat down at a table with Taras friend Melissa, who was at the prom with Nicks friend Brad.
After supper, the music started to play which officialy kicked off the dance part of the evening. Nick and Tara slow danced to every slow song together, and danced to all the fast ones together too. Everyone at the prom was having an awesome time that night, since it was the last night that the whole class would be together as a large group, before everyone goes their separate ways. People complimented Nick on his great speech from graduation, and overall it was a really awesome evening!
The dance ended at around 11pm, and then everyone headed upstairs to one of the hotel rooms that a group of people had rented for the afterparty. Most of the people showed up earlier before the dance had ended to start to party. When Nick and Tara got there with Melissa and Brad, some of the people were already drunk.
"come on in" Rick said, holding a beer in his hand. Nick, Tara, Melissa and Brad entered the crowded hotel room. Loud music was being played, and about 3/4 of the people were drinking.
Nick and Tara decided not to drink, because they never really believed in drinking to have a good time. Melissa and Brad had a few drinks, but not too many because they didnt want to get drunk.
At around 12:30, Tara and Nick were busy dancing closely together in the crowded room.
"Hey Nick, wanna get out of here?" Tara asked.
"Sure" Nick said. Nick grabbed her hand and they said goodbye to their friends, and took off.
"What do you want to do?" Nick asked Tara after the were in the hallway outside of the room.
"Follow me!" Tara said, and she grabbed Nicks hand. They walked over to the elevator and took it upstairs to the floor where their room was on.
Tara grabbed the key from Nicks pocket and unlocked the door.
Nick turned on the lights after they entered their room, and shut the door behind them. Nick had spent the day decorating the room really nicely for him and Tara, for prom, that is.
"wow!! Nick, did you do this??" Tara asked, looking around the room at all the streamers, balloons and flowers.
"Yup!" Nick said smiling.
"Awww... thank you!" Tara said, giving Nick a hug, and a kiss. Tara didnt pull herself back from the kiss, instead, she just kept kissing Nick. Nick reached his hands up and rubbed her back softly, while giving her sweet soft kisses.
"I love you Nick" Tara said inbetween kisses.
"I love you too Tara" Nick said, looking down at her. Nick could tell that Tara had a "different" look on her face this time, and he kind of got the idea of what she had in mind, but just wasnt sure.
"Are you sure?" Nick asked, kind of nervous.
Tara nodded her head "Im sure" Tara said, and then she smiled up at Nick, who then smiled back at her.
Nick leaned down and started to kiss Tara again, while leading her into the bedroom, which also was decorated nicely too. When they got into the bedroom, Nick turned on the radio to a station that plays all slow songs, and started to dance with Tara beside the bed. While slowly dancing, Tara took off Nicks suit jacket and took off Nicks tie.
Nick ran his fingers along the edge of the back of Taras dress until he reached the little straps. The touch of his fingers tracing the dress tickled Tara a little, and she let out a little laugh. Nick grinned and leaned down to kiss Taras neck and shoulders, slowly making the straps fall down her arm. Tara untucked Nicks shirt from his pants, and started to unbutton the shirt. Tara took the shirt right off of Nick, and put it on the chair that was near them. Nick slid his hands along the sides of Tara, grabbing the dress along the way, pulling it down till it fell right off. Tara stepped over the dress heap on the floor, and put her hands down to Nicks suit pants, and started to undo the belt and the buttons. Nicks pants fell down to the floor, and he stepped over them, picked Tara up and rested her onto the bed. Nick crawled over the bed in his briefs, to where he had laid Tara down, and lied down ontop of her, giving her more kisses, and hoping that his weight wasnt crushing Tara.
Nick unbuttoned the back of Tara's bra, took it off of her, and tossed it onto the chair where his shirt was. While doing that, Nicks face turned a little red, since he was nervous and couldnt believe what he was doing and about to do.
While Nick was removing the last of Tara's clothes, Tara reached over and grabbed the little package from her purse.
"oh yeah" Nick said, almost completely forgetting about the important little package. Nick took the packet from Taras fingers, opened it up and put it on, his back to Tara, since he was a little embarassed about being totally naked. Tara was a little embarassed too, which made Nick a little calmer knowing she felt the same way as him. But knowing that she loves him, and that he loves her made them both assured of what they were doing was right.
Nick turned around and faced Tara. Even redder now, Nick pulled Tara closer to him and started to kiss her deeply, pushing her down onto the bed and himself ontop of her again.
Kissing more and more deeply, Nick and Tara both ran their hands over eachothers bodies, caressing eachother softly. Nick decided that it was time, so he slowly placed himself inside of Tara. Tara squirmed a little, which made Nick a little worried, but then he realized that she was alright, so he contined and started to make love with Tara.
