Nobody Knows// Ross Lynch

The princess and her boyfriend sipped on their champagne, taking in the night sky and the beautiful lights around them. They had been talking their hearts away, shooting small glances at each other, making the other flush out of excitement and causing each other's cheeks to turn rosy pink. 

"You know, these lights really do bring out your brown eyes," The princess complimented him, dancing her hand underneath the table and setting them on his lap. 

She felt him move suddenly as she looked down at her empty white plate, trying to hide the grin that was forming on her lips. 

"And-" He cleared his throat, placing his hand on top of hers, keeping her hands firmly in place. "The night sky seems to be bringing out everything there is to love about you." 

She blushed, brushing a strand of her curly hair behind her ear. "Like what?" 

"Oh, you know-" He began, bringing his free hand up to her face and caressing the side of her face. "Like this cute little birth mark you've got right here on your cheek, those small and faint freckles around your cute nose, and your beautiful dark brown hair that seems to be showing more color than usual. We also can't forget how great you look in my favorite color," He continued on, feeding her compliments while brushing his fingers up and down her bare legs now. 

The princess felt goosebumps against her skin as he continued to do this, making her bite down onto the inside of her cheek. "Making me think about spending the night in your room again, maybe this time staying longer and accomplishing just a little bit more."

Lorena felt like this last statement had almost knocked the wind out of her. "R-really?" Her voice managed to break out before watching him nod his head, feeling his gaze held on her grey eyes. 

"Of course," He answered,  smiling at her while leaning back in his seat and removing his grasp from her thighs.

Rocky opened the backyard door, entering in a cute button down and fancy pants, holding two places of food over his shoulders. "Did someone order a Rydel special?" 

He placed the two plates of pasta in front of them before holding out his phone and opening up to his notes section. "Now, what would you two like to drink? We've got wine, sangria, maybe even a margarita. Riker's killing it back there with the drinks." 

Lorena giggled, pulling her plate closer to her with one hand and holding up her glass of champagne in the other. "I'll try some of that sangria. Did your sister really make this for us?" 

"Mhmm," Rocky hummed, nodding his head and showing her pics of Rydel cooking on his phone. "She's the best cook in the family. She loves food."

"I knew that. That's why she's always bringing donuts to the castle," Lorena replied, agreeing with her boyfriend's older brother. 

"Oh yeah, Krispy Kreme donuts is literally like crack to us," Ross joked, shaking his head at the thought of them probably spending tons of money on sugary donuts every chance they can get. "We're all obsessed with it." 

Lorena raised her hand, chuckling while stating, "Same, I think. And it's all her fault."

Rocky laughed at this, while opening up his notes app again and waiting for his brother to give him an answer. "Well come on lover boy, cinderella is on a strict schedule over here."

Ross playfully rolled his eyes, scoffing at his brother while pushing his seat in closer. "I'll also try Riker's sangria. If it's bad then I'll switch to the margarita." 

Rocky typed this down onto his phone, trying to play the best waiter impersonation he could, and began to walk away. "Two sangrias coming up!" 

The couple watched him leave before sharing a quick laugh over his family's commitment to this. Ross gulped down the rest of his champagne before setting it aside and beginning to dig into his creamy pasta. "Are you sure you have to be home by 1am? I mean, what's the worst that could happen if you don't?"
