Chapter 24 - Chapter 23- Prom (final part)

(Jay's POV)

Jumping up and down in a muddy puddle,

Splish! Splash! Splosh! Splish! Splash!

🎶🎶

How it feels singing Peppa pig while getting ready! First I was singing alone but looks like every girl in the room has watched Peppa!

Everyone sang together

And a big splash here and a big splash there!.... 🎶🎶

And we laughed together. Freya had called over makeup artists which came in a while.

I changed into a tank top and shorts which keifer brought with my gown , thankfully!!

I am going to shower him some kisses after the prom as a thanksgiving reward!

When the makeup artists arrived, I was so shocked to see their supplies and heavy bags loaded of makeup.

I said to freya in a terrified voice," I am not getting a full painted makeup please!!!"

Freya just laughed and said mocking me," I guess we all know our Tomboy!!"

No problem, let them tease I will complain about them to Keiferrrrrrrrrr!

Then one girl from the group of artists came to me and I said her in a serious tone patting her shoulder," You understand sister, god will bless you! Kindly consider the request that I want a natural makeup please! A really natural makeup"

Then she just chuckled and said," Of course mam don't worry , you are even beautiful without makeup and natural makeup will absolutely compliment your face"

I don't know why but I just blushed at her compliment.

Then , she started doing my makeup and first tied my hairs. While she was doing makeup, I pleaded her again and again because I seriously don't want to look like canvas!!

After an hour, my makeup was done and she revealed it by showing me mirror and I was looking so beautiful like genuinely beautiful!

Sorry guys webnovel doesn't provides photo attachment option! I am such a beautiful Tomboy!!! Wait what! Freya virus I guess!!

Then I hugged the artist in excitement and she also hugged me back. I also gave her a tip. Then I showed my makeup to girls and their responses were hilarious!!

Mica: You are already done jay! Here my foundation is not suiting and you look like a fairy!

Rakki: Oh god jay! Keifer will absolutely loose control!!

(Ci-n coded girlfriend obviously)

Ella: You are even beautiful than us.

(Oh took you all long to realise)

Freya: Oh I regret! I could have also choosed natural makeup!!!

(Someone was calling me Tomboy and now regret takes over!!)

I laughed at them and then the same makeup artist called me and said that she knows a hairstyle that would definitely compliment my personality.

Then I got seated and she started the process! Then after a while , I got a video call from keifer!

Mr. Watson you might have misunderstood but I am not a girl whose gonna reveal her look so easily!

I cut the call and messaged him instead!

To: King of serpants

It's surprise!

From: King of serpants

How can I forget my wifey behaviour? Guess I really have to wait.

To: King of serpants

Yes you have to!

From: King of serpants

So tell me when you're done and I will pick you up! I bet I have to control really hard!

To: King of serpants

Ok hubby! See you soon !

From : King of serpants

❤️

I think I should change his name on chat! Give me some suggestions okay?

Then after an hour and fifteen minutes! Why shock? I was counting , then hairstyle was also done. I thanked the artist and paid her.

I showed my face to other girls who were still on their makeup only! I feel pity for them!

Then I went to restroom to change into gown and before changing, I was just adoring myself. Am I literally becoming a girl?????

Then I changed into gown and it was most difficult job of my life! I will surely take help from keifer to remove it. Yeah don't worry!!

Then after being fully ready, Oh god I was literally looking like a 👸 princess!! Or Queen is a better!!

Keifer will literally melt down for sure. Then I called him and asked him to pick me up and he just started the car on call like he was sitting in the car only waiting for my phone call. Maybe he was.....

Then in 5 minutes only , he texted me that he was downstairs! Huh! So early, I hadn't even got out of restroom because I was just adoring that how beautiful I was looking !!

Then I came out and all the girls just opened their mouths in shock! Upgrade: they were on their hairstyles now!!

Ella: Jay! You are literally a princess!

Mica: Oh god! Your look is like you were made for this gown!

Rakki: You will definitely be Queen of prom!

Freya: I don't want to but, I have to say that you are beautiful than me!

I thanked everyone and quickly went downstairs because my hubby was waiting!

Then when I opened the door....

He was damn shock!! He froze at the spot.

He was adoring me but I was looking at handsome Hubby of me.

He looked like a hot fucking eatable Ceo , so damn handsome and breathtaking in his suit and we were even matching!

I can't believe that he also picked blue colour and his hair, damn!! ( Edrix effects, don't blame me because Freya has been around me frequently and these viruses are highly contaminated)

(Keifer's POV)

Jay..... The most beautiful girl in the whole world! I watch her move across the room, and it feels like the rest of the world has suddenly gone silent, losing its color just so she can shine brighter. There is a weight to the beauty of her in that gown—a quiet, heavy magic that makes it hard to draw a full breath.

I see the way the fabric follows her, almost grateful to be the one draped over her skin, trailing behind her like a fallen cloud. She doesn't even realize she's doing it—the way she carries herself with a grace that feels ancient, like she stepped out of a storybook I wasn't supposed to be allowed to read.

I want to tell her that she looks like a prayer answered. I want to tell her that every time she turns, the light catches her in a way that makes me want to stop time just to live in this second forever. But the words feel too small, too clumsy for how she looks tonight. So I'll just stand here, keeping this ache of adoration to myself, watching my whole world walk around in a dress, wondering how I ever got lucky enough to be the one she comes home to.

My Jay!! My queen!!!

(Jay's POV)

Keifer just got freeze by looking at me and I wish I could read his thoughts. Then he said," This a beautiful dream" and I hugged him instantly. He hugged me back really gently and kissed me on my neck. I loved his reaction and he brought a bigger car than his usual one!!

Such a gentlemen!! A whole green universe ✨️

Then he opened the door of car and adjusted my gown and made sure to make me sit comfortable. Once I was comfortable, he shut the door and drove to the place.

Then girls texted me that they were also ready and were about to reach in 5 minutes. I bet they all rushed to reach on time.

We arrived at a legit best time. There were photographers, actually a lot who were photographing students. I and keifer got out of car and I held his arm and he adjusted my dress, picked it up and helped me walk comfortably. Then we went inside the venue hall and photographers surrounded us.

And keifer.. his gaze was on me only!!

Even the crowd of students surrounded us like we were some sort of King and queen!!

(Keifer's POV)

I watched her standing there, the centerpiece of this loud, crowded gymnasium that suddenly feels like an empty cathedral. Amidst the corsages and the flashing cameras, she is the only thing that is real. This gown—it's not just a dress anymore; it's the bridge between the girl I've laughed with in classroom and the woman she is becoming right before my eyes.

There was a lump in my throat as I watched her adjust her wristlet. She looked so delicate, yet she commanded every ounce of light in the room.

I felt a fierce, private sort of pride, a raw ache in my chest knowing that while everyone else sees a beautiful girl at prom, I see the soul behind the silk. I see the girl who's nervous, the girl who's excited, the girl who is my entire world.

I was terrified to move, terrified to break this moment where she and i were being framed by the music and the moonlight.

She's a vision I'll be chasing for the rest of my life. I want to tell her that tonight, the stars aren't in the sky—they're reflected in her eyes, trapped in the folds of her dress, and anchored in my heart.

Then, after clicking thousands of our pictures , photographers thought that we are a couple so we might require some privacy too! So, I really thank them ! Thank you for understanding it after millions of years!!

Then all the students gathered and the host started to speak something. Then we got seated, jay with me and I held her hand like she was glued to me and she was!

Then there were some performances and then host announced that ," couples kindly come on stage and represent beautiful dance"

Then everyone cheered and Section E pushed us to stage! Soon me and jay was centre of attention. I asked if she was comfortable in dancing and she nodded and smiled at me!

Then the music swelled , but I barely heard it. All I see is the way her gown catches the hall lights, turning the floor beneath her into a sea of shimmering glass. My palms were a little damp, my heart hammering a rhythm that's louder than the base, because walking toward her felt like walking toward a miracle I'm not sure I deserve.

I reach for her hand, and as my fingers brushed hers, the noise of the crowd finally vanished. This was the moment I had been playing in my head for months, but the reality was so much more overwhelming. As I pulled her close for the dance, the fabric of her dress rustled against me — a soft, secret sound that only I get to hear.

The movements were slow and steady, matching the sway of the music as the surrounding hall faded into a blur of colors. It felt as though the world had narrowed down to this single spot on the floor. Every turn and step brought a sense of calmness , replacing the earlier nerves with a quiet joy.

Looking at her, the realization hits that this evening had become a memory that will be cherished for a long time, transforming a simple school event into something truly extraordinary.

As the final notes of the song drifted into the rafters, I kept my forehead pressed against hers for just a second longer, trying to etch the feeling into my soul. I realized then that I didn't need a photograph to remember this night. The way the light had caught the silk of her gown, the soft scent of her hair, and the weight of her hand in mine were already branded into me. Even as we eventually pulled apart, I knew that in my mind, she would always be standing there in that dress—a timeless vision of grace that changed my world forever.

(Author's POV)

The air in the room seemed to thin as they were called to the stage. From an observer's perspective, he wasn't just walking beside her; he was guarding a masterpiece. As they stepped into the spotlight for the modeling round, she didn't merely walk—she glided, her gown moving with a fluid, ethereal grace that turned the wooden stage into a runway of dreams. Every eye in the hall was anchored to her, caught in the shimmer of fabric that looked less like cloth and more like woven moonlight.

He remained a half-step behind, his gaze never leaving her, a silent shadow to her brilliance. He felt a surge of fierce, protective pride, watching how she carried the weight of the gown with such effortless poise. To the audience, it was a display of fashion and beauty, but through his eyes, it was the world finally acknowledging the magic he had seen in her since the moment they met.

When the announcement finally rang out, naming them Prom King and Queen, the roar of the crowd felt distant, like waves crashing on a far-off shore. As the crown was lowered onto her head, it sparkled against her hair and the lace of her dress, completing a vision that felt almost celestial. Standing there beside her, he realized the titles were just gold and velvet; the true royalty was in the way she looked at him amidst the flashing cameras — a Queen who had chosen him to stand by her throne.

(Jay's POV)

The air outside was cool and quiet, a sharp contrast to the thumping bass and the heat of the hall. I felt the grass crunch softly under my heels as we walked, the weight of the crown still feeling strange and heavy on my head. I took a deep breath, finally tasting the fresh night air, and felt the tension leave my shoulders.

I looked down at my gown, the silk glowing faintly under the moonlight, and then I looked at him.

He looked like he was afraid I might disappear if he blinked. We didn't say much; we didn't have to. The noise of the party felt miles away.

I reached out and took his hand, my fingers sliding against his. In the silence of the parking lot, away from the flashing cameras and the cheering, I felt more like a queen than I had on that stage. It wasn't because of the dress or the title, but because of the way he held my hand, like I was the only person in the world who mattered.

My keifer!! My husband and my world!!
