Hey guys thank you for continuing on this journey with me reading Chase and Savannah's story. I love reading all your comments and I cannot thank you all enough for all your kind words and gems. The next chapter is going to be a very long one so it may be in three parts so please bear with me as I get it prepared. Thank you all again
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
We stayed on the Ferris Wheel as it looped us around twice. The view when we were at the top was breathtaking, we couldn’t resist to take more pictures of us together up there both singles and the pair of us. I honestly don’t think this day could get any better. As the wheel carries us down, we discuss about what will happen when we go back to school in the new year. He told me he will tell his teammates about us, and he said that he doesn’t give a fuck what they think. With midterms and then finals coming up we both agreed to keep our focus on school and our jobs, we will text and call throughout the time and steal quick moments together here and there. I agreed to be at all of his games that I can attend, and he will support me in any way I need. We will make this work through hell or high water. The carriage has finally reached the bottom, Chase climbs out first and offers me his hand so he can help me out. I take his hand and climb out of the carriage. We make our way to the lo
Trotting out to the first field I feel a small sense of freedom, I feel like I’m back in North Carolina. I feel like I’m home. It’s with this feeling that I know where I belong. With Chase, it has to be. He’s the only guy I have dated who has made me feel like this. “Now that we’re out in the open field, wanna show me how fast you can go?” Chase questions. I’m so glad he asked I have been desperate to feel the wind in my face, and soar through the grass. “Are you sure?” I don’t want to leave him sat on a horse he doesn’t know how to ride for so long. “Absolutely sweetheart. I’ve been excited to see you ride since I found out that you competed.” With that statement, I give him a curt nod before I take off a run through the field. It almost feels like I’m soaring this horse can certainly fly. Feeling the reins between my fingers is one of the best feelings I have right now. I tighten them a little more and see exactly how fast Sonny can go. I do one lap around the field before I
“You cheating bastard how could you?” She yells at Vance, and he’s sat there looking at her with a smug look on her face and he starts to laugh. “Oh, Candace didn’t you see what I was doing? I was using you to fuck with Lockwood’s head, I was playing you this whole time. Chase didn’t give a shit about you,” He looks past Candace and, in our direction, “and by the looks of it, he’s not likely gonna get back with a dirty slut like yourself.” Everyone on his table bursts out laughing and they all stand up and leave the restaurant not looking back. Is it a shame that I feel sorry for the girl, as nobody should be humiliated like that? She is still stood there crying in all of her embarrassment she storms out of the restaurant but stops at our table on the way out. “I hope you enjoyed the show slut,” Candace insults. “Candace, that’s enough,” Chase chimes in coming to my defense. “Typical Chase Lockwood, the hero. You have done nothing but defend and protect this slut from that fi
“Wow, I didn’t expect that. But you know what she is like now and I’m happy you and Jen are back to being what you should be to each other.” “And what’s that?” Doesn’t he know? “Each other's better half that makes you both whole.” We are both silent for a moment before our meals are placed in front of us. I stuck with my first interest and ordered the pulled pork black bean enchilada with rice, and Chase ordered a New York strip fajita with rice. Before we tucked into our meals Chase made a toast. Picking up our drinks Chase says “Savannah, I hope today has been exactly what I have promised you, a birthday to remember. Because it has been a day I will never forget in my life. So, here’s to you sweetheart happy birthday.” we both clink our glasses before we take a sip, and we tuck in and enjoy our meal. Coming to the end of this delicious meal a woman who looks to be in her late fifties, or early sixties, carrying a basket of something approached our table. I can’t quite see wha
“SURPRISE!” Everyone yells before there’s a round of applause and my dad comes over and gives me his special daddy hug. “Happy birthday baby girl,” He kisses the top of my head and steps aside so my friends, all of my friends can embrace me in a hug. I can’t believe it. I’m speechless, almost to the brink of tears. Blinking away unshed tears I hug Jen, Greg, Selena, Lucas, and my friends from North Carolina, Brianna, Ocean, and Charlotte. I can’t believe this my girls from NC are here in California. Is this the surprise my dad had planned? In a group hug with my NC girls, I had to ask. “How did you get here? When did you get here? How long are you here for?” Everyone laughs because I’m a blubbering mess asking so many questions. “Slow down girl and catch your breath,” Charlotte says. “Your dad bought us tickets to fly out to surprise you for your birthday.” Oh, my god I think I am about to cry. “We got here a couple of hours ago to help your dad set up and make this day more sp

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
