Standing in front of the mirror, I readjusted the vest of my black tuxedo before sliding my arms into my jacket. I hated formal events, but I wanted Harper to have the opportunity to have a normal high school experience, and I couldn't wait to see her all dressed up tonight.

"Christian," Aiden called out from downstairs. I was ready. I turned and strolled down the stairs.

"What's up?" I met Aiden at the bottom of the stairs. Aiden was wearing a similar black tux without the jacket, his dark hair a disheveled mess, and black flip-flops in place of his dress shoes.

"Rumor has it," he said. "Noah is looking for Harper." My posture stiffened at his name in the same sentence as hers. "Some are saying the Villa Boys will start trouble tonight at the dance."

"Is everyone going tonight?" I knew Aiden was going with Chloe, but I didn't know if Bash, Link, Maverick, or Julian planned to go too.

"Yes." He nodded. "They will be here shortly, and we'll all ride together. We have reservations at Nineteen31 for all of us in…" He trailed off, glancing at his watch. "Thirty minutes."

"Okay," I said, inhaling a deep breath. "Are you ready?" My eyes scanned down to his flip-flop.

"Yes." He winked, his lips curling into a grin.

"Let's go get our dates." I chuckled. Chloe was going to punch him in the throat when she saw his flip-flops.

We walked a short distance from the main house to the pool house. The door was unlocked.

"Harper," I called out before stepping inside. "Chloe. We are here."

"Come in," Chloe yelled from the second floor. "We'll be down in a minute."

The rumble of a diesel engine roared from outside as Julian's truck pulled up to the pool house.

"You boys ready for this?" Chloe called out.

I was ready.

"Hell yeah," Aiden shouted.

"Go," Chloe whisper-yelled. I laughed, picturing Chloe pushing Harper. When I looked up, Harper appeared at the bottom of the steps. My gaze locked on her as my jaw dropped. I was speechless. Harper's silver sparkling dress hugged every one of her perfect curves. The dress hung low in the front with a slit up her thigh. Her long dark hair was pulled up from her neck, and I couldn't wait to put my mouth on the bare skin.

"Wow," I managed to choke out. "You look beautiful."

"Thank you," she smiled.

"Holy shit," Aiden exclaimed. We all looked to see a blonde standing at the bottom of the stairway. Holy shit was right. Chloe's black hair with deep green highlights was gone, and her natural dirty blonde was back. Her tattoos were still visible, but she replaced all the piercings on her face with a simple small diamond stud in her nose. "You look amazing," Aiden finally said when he found his words.

"Are we ready? Everyone is outside waiting."

"Wait," Chloe stopped us. "Where are your shoes?" She didn't look amused by Aiden's flip-flops. I couldn't help but laugh as Aiden stuttered his way out of this one. Ultimately Chloe won, and Aiden put his dress shoes on.
