Savannah P.O.V As soon as I got home, I rushed upstairs to get out of my dress, clear the makeup off my face, and got changed into something more comfortable. Don’t get me wrong tonight has been one of the best nights of my life and one of the best birthdays I have ever celebrated. But why is it when something good goes my way Candace is there to ruin it for me? I have dealt with girls like her in the past, but she is on another level. Sitting on the bed I pick up my guitar and start to play one of my mom’s old favorite songs ‘Stand By Your Man’ by Tammy Wynette. When I start playing the intro to the song there is a gentle knock on my door. “Come on in Dad,” I continue to play the music as my dad comes into my room. “Hey baby girl Chase is downstairs, and he would like to have a word with you.” He stands in the doorway watching me sitting on the bed. “I don’t want to talk to him, Dad. He’s done enough talking tonight already,” I look up at my dad so he can see how distraught I a
Chase P.O.V Standing at the bottom of the stairs I pace around trying to keep myself calm. The longer Mr. Blakemoore is gone, the more I fear and worry she will not give me a chance. Time ticks on and it feels like it is slowing down. Mr. Blakemoore appears at the top of the stairs, so I hold my breath waiting for him to tell me either yes or no. As he descends the stairs I try and get a read of his face. When he reaches the bottom of the stairs, he looks at me and sighs. I know what the answer is. “She’s not wanting to talk, is she?” He shakes his head, and it feels like my chance has puffed up in smoke. “No son she’s not but she did say she will talk to you but not right now. I’m sorry Chase I tried to get her to see reason, but she thinks you’ve got back together with Candace.” She’s kidding me, right? I tell her that I love her, and I fell in love with her the moment our eyes met after she bumped into me on her first day. And she thinks I would throw that away an hour or so
Savannah P.O.V Sitting on a stool, on the balcony, losing myself to my music I hear a deep voice shouting. “WHAT THE FUCK!” I put my guitar down, I stand up leaning over the balcony to see if I can hear where that voice came from. “Hello? Who’s there?” I call out into the darkness. Seeing something coming out of the shadows in the corner of my eye I see someone coming into the light. “It’s me Savannah.” What the fuck? What is Chase doing standing in my backyard? “Chase? What are you doing here? I thought you left?” I ask him. “I was about to leave, but then I heard you singing. So, I followed the sound of your voice and I wanted to listen for a little while before leaving.” “But why? I don’t understand.” He stands closer to where I am stood looking around to see if there is any way he can get closer. I see he spots the vine trellis, and he charges over to it and starts to climb. I lean further over to watch him climb up, secretly hoping he doesn’t fall and hurt himself. As h
“I like the sound of that, but didn’t my dad tell you that I don’t like having all the attention on me?” “I am aware of that yes, he told me. He also told me you are just like your mom in that way. But tomorrow I give you my word it will not feel like all the attention is on you. It will be just us.” “Then my answer is yes Chase. Yes, I will go out on a date with you.” Smiling up at him his smile is gleaming so brightly he is glowing. He leans forward and kisses me sweetly. His lips feel so soft up against mine. I lean into his body, wrapping my arms around his neck as I deepen the kiss. He matches my kiss as his arms wrap around me and pushes my body up against his making my body shiver in anticipation. I can feel his hard, firm erection pressing up against my belly. The kiss heats up as we both get lost in each other and forget where we are until we hear a cough coming from behind us. Breaking the kiss and stepping apart I turn in the direction of the cough, “Dad!” Looking from
It's now morning and I have a date with Chase today. Checking the time on my phone I lean across my nightstand it lights up I see it says 07:25 and I see I also have a text from Chase that he sent twenty minutes ago. Chase: Good morning my beautiful Savannah. Today is a beautiful day to take you out on our first official date. Dress comfortably it will be fun I promise you will enjoy it. I can’t wait to see you. Not much longer to wait, see you soon beautiful. ILY xx. Savannah: Good morning to you too handsome. I can’t wait to see you in a couple of hours, and I can’t wait to see what the day brings us. ILY x. Chase: Just the one x? Savannah: LOL I’ll make it up to you in person whilst out on our date. Chase: Promise? Savannah: I promise, and I’ll even put interest on it too. Just for you. Chase: I’ll take it. See you soon sweetheart, I’m counting down the minutes. Savannah: Can’t wait. See you soon. First thing in the morning texts between your boyfriend can certainl
Once we all were sat down for breakfast including Toni, Dad decided to make a little breakfast toast. “Savannah my baby girl I am so proud of the woman you have become, and I can’t wait to see what happens in the future. Happy birthday my darling girl. Cheers,” We all raise our glasses and say cheers in return and take a sip before we dig into our breakfast. Once we all had finished breakfast Dad and Chase went off to his office for a brief moment and I assisted Toni in cleaning up the kitchen. Why did Chase go with my father? I don’t know. I can only assume it’s work-related. I finished loading the dishwasher while Toni wipes down the counters Chase and my dad joined us back in the kitchen. Chase walks up to me and takes hold of my hand, “You Ready to go?” he asks. I nod and we head towards the door. Walking out of the kitchen Dad calls out to us to have a fun day out. We both call out saying we will, reaching the front door Chase takes a Dodgers baseball cap out of his back pocke
We walk under the arch and enter the park and I hear all the sounds of a carnival and all the fun and laughter the guests are having. “What attraction would you like to go on first?” Chase asks me. “I don’t know, what would you recommend?” “We could play some games first if you want before we go on some of the rides.” That doesn’t sound like a bad idea. “Okay but I’m warning you I can be quite competitive so prepare to lose,” I inform him before heading off to one of my favorite carnival games. Ring toss. “How good is your aim all-star?” I’m laying down the challenge. We step up to the stall and Chase turns and looks at me, “It’s pretty good sweetheart. Shall we make things a little interesting?” “Let’s make a bet then.” “Great. Okay, the bet is whoever can hook the most rings from the one bucket wins.” Oh, like that is it, well big boy challenge accepted. “Okay if I win you have you tell me what the other part of the date is.” “And when I win?” “Winner’s choice.” “
“Of course, I believe you.” He kisses my lips softly out of relief that I believe him and not running away. “What we have to do now as a couple is show that her presence doesn’t bother us, and we are stronger together than apart.” “I love how you think sweetheart. But can you say that one thing again?” One thing? What one thing? I just said quite a few things. “And what one thing is that?” I ask slightly confused. “The best bit.” Oh, I know what thing he is on about. “As a couple.” “True fucking right we are a couple. You are now mine for as long as you will have me. Just as I am yours.” He cups my face with both hands and places a hot, demanding kiss on my lips. Asking for entrance as his tongue brushes along my bottom lip, I grant him the access we both crave. The kiss deepens and we are lost in the heat and passion of each other. It’s not until I feel someone bump into me that we break apart laughing and smiling. We get in line for the rollercoaster laughing and joking a

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. Greg
