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 done 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 t
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 hear 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 on hi
“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.VI 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 jus
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.VAfter 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 be
“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,
I wake up early on a Monday morning and I do my normal weekday morning routine. Shower, dry, dress, hair, makeup, breakfast, and drive off to school. I still feel a little jetlagged from the flight yesterday, but I will power through as I wanna make sure everything is cool between me and Chase. I know I will have Jen on me as soon as I pull into the parking lot as I didn’t speak to her before I left her house last night. I also know that Selena will want a catch-up on everything that’s happened if she doesn’t already know. I pull into the parking lot and see Chase and Jen leaning against their cars with Selena and Lucas standing with them. I presume they are waiting for me to arrive. Chase is talking with Lucas, and I see Jen has spotted me and she pulls Selena away from the guys and heads in my direction. I park up and climb out of my car just as I turn around the girls are standing there staring at me with their arms crossed. “Umm... hello?” “What the fuck Sav?” “Huh.” “You wer
