I said goodnight to Jen and Chase at the beach once everything was cleared away and made my own way home. Checking the time on my phone, I only have a short time slot to call the girls. As soon as I get home, I rush upstairs into my room, I log onto my laptop quickly, and start a group video call with them. And just as I thought I am just as confused as when all this has happened.

I guess I just must give it time and see what happens as it could be something. Or it could be nothing. I do hope it’s something but only time will tell.

Time flew past quick lately. Halloween is vastly approaching, and I have spoken to my dad and asked if I could spend it back in North Carolina with my friends as I haven’t seen them since I moved. He agreed on one condition. I behave myself, don’t drink unless supervised by an adult and I keep up with my schoolwork.

Why had he had to give me rules? I don’t know. He’s just being his overprotective self. I will always love him for it as he only wants wha

    Everyone looks at each other and nods. “There is one thing we would like to ask you,” James says. I look at them as if I should expect what he is going to ask. “What is this one thing?” “If you could sing a set at the party tomorrow night.” A full set? What? “You’re joking right?” “No, I’m not joking Sav the girls want to sing a song with you, and everyone has missed your voice, and one song won’t work. I have a band who will perform with you of course but would you please?” All the girls look at me with their big puppy dog eyes and pouting. What sane person can say no to three girls giving you them big puppy dog eyes? Nobody. “Sure, okay I’ll do a set, but you’ll have to let me have some time with the band for a run-through tonight if you could arrange that it would be great.” “Done.” We all climb into James’ truck. James and Brianna are up front and the rest of us squeeze into the back. On the road heading towards Wake Forest, I get bombarded by all these questions. “

    Today is now Halloween. So that means tonight I will be doing the performance of my life. Am I nervous? Hell, yeah, I am. But am I gonna kill it? You know damn right I will. I am grateful that it’s not a costume party tonight as I don’t have a costume to wear, I only have with me what I brought. After I got back from the cemetery yesterday, I spent the rest of the evening talking with the girls and we even did a video call with Jen and Chase. It was good to see them, and they hit it off with my friends here. Charlotte is already making plans to raid Jen’s closet. And Ocean said after we got off camera if I don’t snatch up that hot Cali guy she would. We had a great night laughing and gossiping about everything. The day just flew by, and it was time we headed off to the Maddoc family ranch for the party. Since I am flying back to California tomorrow morning, I have happily assigned myself as tonight’s designated driver. The ranch isn’t that far from Ocean’s house which was a good th

    Landing at LAX I exit the plane and make my way through baggage claim straight through to arrivals not knowing who is gonna be there. Opening the door to arrivals I look around to see if I can see a familiar face. No luck just yet so I keep walking to see If they are closer to the main exit of the airport. I kept looking around to see if anyone was there, not seeing anyone I heard someone call my name. “Savannah!” I turn around to see Chase running towards me. He swoops me up in a bear hug and spins me around. I can’t stop the smile on my face with how Chase has greeted me. “Hey Chase, it’s good to see you. Is anyone else here?” “No, it’s just me your dad got caught up at the office and he asked me if I could pick you up and take you back to the office with me.” “Oh, you’re in the office today?” “Yeah,” he looks down at his suit, brushing off a piece of invisible lint on his arm. He looks fucking sexy in this suit. It looks like he was stitched into it with how snug it fits

    “Hey Chase, thanks for picking me up from the airport. I enjoyed our chat in the car.” “Me too Savannah, Me too.” And just like the first day we met Chase walked around a corner and out of my sight. Knocking on Dad’s office door and wait to hear him call through the frosted glass door. “Come on in sweetpea.” I open the door and step into Dad’s huge open-space office shutting the door behind me. Dad stands up from behind his desk, walks around it, and opens his arms for me. I walk up to my dad, wrapping my arms around him, and hug him. “How was your trip?” Dad releases me from the hug and offers me a chair to sit on so we could talk. “It was great Dad. I loved being back home I have missed it there. But I missed it here.” “What do you mean sweetpea?” “Yes North Carolina is home but without you there it didn’t feel like home. I saw Mom whilst I was there, and it made me think... you are all the family I have left, and I can’t be too far away from you. Something Jen and Chas

    Chase P.O.V I see the elevator door close, and Savannah disappears from my sight again. How could I have fucked up again? What did I do? I knocked on the door a few times and because Mr. Blakemore didn’t answer I walked into his office. I hate the fact that Dad has asked me to urgently take these files to him. I didn’t want to disturb them, but I had no choice. I admit I walked into the office at the wrong time but hearing that some guy tried to come on to my Savannah. I instantly saw red. I want to find this fucker and teach him to not even think about coming near her again. Until it hit me. Savannah is not mine. I walk back into Mr. Blakemore’s office to give him the files. “Sir I’m sorry about what just happened. I didn’t mean to intrude I just had to give you these files. I’m sorry if I invaded your privacy, it honestly wasn’t my intention sir. I did knock I guess you were too deep into your conversation with Savannah you didn’t hear.” “Chase please don’t apologize for what

    Once everything is all set up and verified, I see how many people are already online two hundred and sixteen. Wow, color me impressed. I just wonder if Savannah is one of these people online. I just wouldn’t know as everyone is under usernames so what her username is I don’t know. My username is White.Wolf_Knight. Seems quite fitting for me really if you think about it. How protective I get when it comes to my friends, my family, my teammates, and how protective I seem to get when it comes to Savannah. Speaking of Savannah, I seem to become all alpha male when she’s in the picture, it’s like I’m claiming her. But I am willing to jump in and save her at any moment when she needs it. Looking at who is online right now I see a few names that catch my eye. Shocker2U, bubbly_snowflake, MeetMeInBerkeley, fantastic.shoppingaddic, Moonlit.Warrior, Green_Autumn, and Fairytale_Dream. I sit in my room for two hours talking to a couple of people. I discover Moonlit.Warrior is from Red Lodge,

    Savannah P.O.V After I left the office, I walked to the beach to meet with Jen and tell her what happened. It didn’t go down as I expected. She was a little annoyed at me for not staying and hashing it out with her brother and she’s pissed at him for letting it happen. Part of me feels like this time I’m the one in the wrong for jumping to conclusions. But I am so embarrassed that nothing in my life can be private anymore. And I’m more embarrassed that I am the one who screwed up this time and not Chase. By the time I got home, I said a quick hello to Toni who was preparing dinner for tonight, and ran upstairs to my room. I sat at my desk with my laptop turning on, my guitar on my lap and my music sheets next to me. I might as well get lost in the thing I love most. My music. Logging onto the Berkeley chatroom I wrote down some notes and lyrics on my music sheet while waiting for it to load up. Seeing all the names flash up for who is online I get a little excited as these could

    “Is that how you feel? That you are ruining this promotion for me?” “I didn’t at first but since I have thought about what has happened today, I fear that all your hard work is going to be for nothing ‘cause I can’t control my emotions.” He stands up from his desk and walks around to stand in front of me as he embraces me in his arms. I can’t do anything but wrap my arms around him and sob into his chest. “Sweetpea it’s okay. You did not ruin anything for me. Only I can ruin this for us. I can only ruin it if I lose the company money or lose their biggest clients. As you know how I am with numbers we both know that won’t happen,” He rubs my back calming me down just like how he used to when I was a little girl. When I'm all cried out Dad kisses the top of my head and just holds me for a little while. “Hey, Dad!” “Yes, sweetpea?” “I’ve been thinking about something since dinner, and I would like to know what you think.” “Okay, what is it you’ve been thinking about?” “Well,

  • A little Cinderella moment   Epilogue

    Chase P.O.VFour years later Well, it’s been four amazing years in San Fransisco. Savannah and I graduated college last week. I got a degree in Business and in Finance, where Savannah got one in English Literature and in Music. Where I double majored in college Savannah had a major in English but a minor in music. We both graduated with high honors. The world is now our oyster. But before we can even think about anything to do with the world and how we wish to change it I am back at the office wanting to speak to Savannah’s father. It is now time we had that discussion I said I planned to have with him back when we were seniors in high school. Fuck that feels like forever ago. I told her father on the night of the Christmasqurade ball that one day I will come to him to ask for his daughter’s hand in marriage and today is that day. I have arranged for a meeting with Mr. Blakemore to take place in the company’s board room and I asked my dad to be present during this meeting. I plan fo

    It has been a couple of weeks since prom and the big day is approaching quickly. Today we get our yearbooks and get them signed before graduation day that is this Saturday. It’s hard to believe this is our final week in high school. It feels like today is still my first day of school but it’s actually almost my last. Not paying attention to where I was going or who was around me with my yearbook in hand I collide into a big, solid mass of a person knocking my books, my yearbook, and some odd bits of paper all over the floor. Bending down to pick everything up, still not paying attention to who I bumped into, on instinct I do apologize to the person as I start picking up my things. I see the person I bumped into bend down and starts to help me with picking up my things and holds out my English book and my notes to hand back to me. I can’t believe I’ve done this again. “You may need these sweetheart,” Hang on a minute? Did I just? Looking up I see Chase smiling at me as he holds my stuf

    We all climb out of the limo and the guys are all holding our arms and escorts us up into the building. Two doormen kindly open the door for us and welcome us to the Crystal Palace and to enjoy our evening. First stop for us as Chase and Lucas recommended is to get our pictures done first so then that way, we don’t look too red faced or sweaty. That is actually not a bad idea if you think about it. We get a bunch of pictures took, we had solo pictures, the six of us together, just the girls, just the guys, and with our dates. I can’t wait to see how the pictures come out because I will be getting a copy of every single one. Entering into the ballroom of the palace we can hear the DJ playing ‘Just Dance’ by Lady Gaga. We walked around couples and across the dancefloor to the only table that is free for us to claim. The girls and I put our purses on the table and hit the dance floor with how good the music is sounding. After a couple of songs, the guys joined us on the dance floor alre

    After clipping my bow into place, I have one final look at myself in my bathroom mirror before I step out and show the girls. Walking to the door, putting my hand on the handle I close my eyes, take a deep breath, and open the bathroom door. On the other side of the door, I see Jen and Selena with their phones taking my picture and recording me as I walk out. Putting a huge smile on my face I walk out the bathroom giving the girls a twirl and a cute little princess curtsey I have seen Princess Catherine do before. The girls laugh and comment how incredible I look, and Jen commented on the bow. “How big did you want that thing? Fuck Sav that’s the biggest ass bow I have ever seen stuck on anybody’s ass.” We laugh at her comment as I walk over to my vanity. Sitting down on my stool I put in a pair of my mom’s diamond and pearl drop earrings and her snowflake necklace again. Wearing this necklace makes everything feel like it’s turned in a full circle. Finding out Chase was Wolf behind

    Three weeks later Tonight is prom night. The night all the senior girls look forward to the most. Don’t ask me about the guys some look forward to it for other reasons than what it means. The girls and I are getting ready together. We all booked to get our hair and makeup done at a salon today for tonight. We are sat in the chairs getting pampered away, a treat from Selena’s Abuela, as she said no Nieta of hers will not go to prom without having a beauty day at the salon. We all chose to have a French manicure and pedicure, to keep it simple. We also showed our makeup artists pictures of our dresses so they could do our makeup to match our dresses. Jen’s hair shaped her face beautifully. She had a volumized high ponytail with some hair extensions that matched her hair color perfectly with elegant curls and some curls framing her face. To finish the look off she had this black jeweled crystal hair clip she slid into the top part of the ponytail. Jen’s makeup made her look much older t

    Walking into the house I see Dad sat on the stairs with what looks like a photo album in his hand. I shut the door behind me and slowly approach him looking at the sad expression on his face as he stares at a photo in the book. When I got closer, he looked up at me with unshed tears in his eyes. When I asked him if everything was okay, he said that everything was fine and he was just living back in the past, and he showed me the page he was looking at in the photo album. It was Mom and Dad’s high school graduation. It was the picture of Mom with her diploma and then Dad with his diploma and under that was the picture of the two of them together. Dad told me the story about how him and Mom met in high school. Hearing what he said was almost a de ja vu. Mom bumped into Dad as she wasn’t watching where she was going, and Dad bent down to help Mom pick up her things and he said it was like love at first sight. We sat on the stairs for a few more minutes just talking and reliving the good

    The school year is flying by. Finals are vastly approaching; concert rehearsals are in full swing and it’s almost time for prom season. Chase has been working hard at school and working harder with football. Right now, he has done all he can to impress the college scouts. We all have been working hard I’ve even seen Jen studying some pre law books and even reading about the LSATS. Selena went to some business seminars to see if that is truly the route she wants to go down after graduation. Lucas has been working just as hard if not harder than Chase with his school work and with football. Greg on the other hand has slacked off a little but he has already confirmed he has a secured place in college already. But which one? I don’t know. College acceptance letters should be coming in the post soon but how long after finals will they arrive? Hopefully not long as I believe they wait for finals and the final grades before sending out the letters. All this pressure can make or break some hi

    Lunch in hand, Selena and I start walking to the bleachers when Greg and Lucas catch up to us, and the four of us walk together the rest of the way. Jen and Chase are already sat up in the bleachers as we arrived. Lucas helped Selena up with her food and Chase came down to help with mine and we went and joined Jen and enjoy our lunch together. We joked around and had a good time just as we should do at our age because with this being our senior year we only have a short time together like this before we go our separate ways for college. Speaking of college, we all talked about where we have applied for and where we hope to go. Lucas has had a couple of calls from college scouts and Chase said he has had the same but the one he is hoping to hear from he has not just yet. Jen said she is wanting to do a couple of years in one college and then go to Harvard to study law as that is where she feels more passionate, and she gets to be part of the family business in some way or another.
