cinder(Stella) goes to the Ball (Party)!!
** Now I'm going to need you to relax and sit* *
** because this Love story is about to get Lit! **
It was a “Dance in the Dark” sort’a party
Raid, beach balls and Neon were the themes,
Wait.. before you gag it’s cooler than it seems.
My boys and I dressed up looking tight
Ready to for a good time, about to seize the night
We got there and gleaming shirts and torches lit up the place
-Passed by a booth that painted the illuminating colors on your face.
effulgent dyed hair swayed in every way to the sound,
I was dancing so hard I fell over a ball and hit the ground
That is when I saw neon heels of the brightest shades of blues,
Captivated I had to know the unique girl in those shoes,
I came up close to say "HI"
She turned and replied sounding a little shy
the tide of the music caught us and we dance for what felt like a short forever,
I didn’t know her name but I knew we should be together
She stopped suddenly and asked me for the time,
I told her “almost 12 AM” and she gasped as if it was a crime,
She mumbled apologies as ripped from our euphoria and ran off and away,
I stood in shock for a moment not knowing what to say.
Coming back to my senses, I turned to chase her; I just needed her name
"Was I too forward?" "Was I to blame?"
But it was too late, she was in a taxi and all I did was watch her go
Then I saw something on the floor with a sheen blue glow...
It was her shoe! Well, One of the two anyways,
I was still confused and the world was a haze
It dawned on me that I might never see her
So I picked up the shoe gloomily: it would be my souvenir...
*
A day passed, then two and I couldn’t get her off my mind,
She was like a vision; she was the girl I had to find.
So I went on the Gram; everyone was still talking about that night
Maybe she had also posted something. I just hoped she was alright.
But I hadn’t seen her face clearly; only neon was shinning, the rest was dark and unclear
I realized that all I had and knew of her was my neon blue heel souvenir.
I searched nonetheless..scrolling for hours till I was losing hope
"That's It" I said, "it's the end of the slippery rope"
Then I caught sight of a picture with something familiarly blue...
The caption read “Night ruined, I’m grounded ’cause I missed my sorority curfew…”
I squinted again, it was the matching Shoe!!
I almost Lost it I didn’t know what to do!!
Who posted it? Oh Stella. Stella was her name
I understood why she’d left me, I wasn’t to blame.
Then I read the rest of her caption and it said she would be grounded
from social media too
… I almost became the same color of the shoe
What should I do?
What Should I do?
I read the caption text over and over looking for a clue...
The sorority name! That must be where she lived! That’s where we could meet
I searched up the address and she lived just three blocks away and down the street!
I said a thank you to God and got on my feet,
And I was in front of the sorority door in a heart beat
Knock, Knock
“I’m looking for Stella…can I see her”
“She’s been grounded but I’ll let her know you’re here”
Soon she came to the door and our eyes locked
Time stood still, my world was rocked
She was a blissfully beautiful sight,
And from the way she looked at me, she remembered the other night.
I took out the shoe from behind my back
desperate to make the romantic ice crack
“I think there’s something important you forgot”
She smiled and It was clear she remembered her shoe and she blushed at the thought
did she know that since then she was all I had Sought?/
“Well I don’t know if I’m your type of Fella…
But would you be my Cinderella…Stella?”
She smiled the most radiant smile, nodded and let out her sweet laughter
That was the beginning of our Happily Ever after.
** The End (Told you it was Lit!)
