Back To You [Completed] ✔

7. For One last time

{Ed Sheeran-Kiss me} started playing in the restaurant.

"This song," he said.

"Hmm?"

"Do you remember this song?"

"Yeah...of course I do"

"Prom"

"Prom," we said in unison and laughed.

He stood up from his chair and stood beside me, I looked up at him in confusion and he looked into my eyes and gestured his hands towards me.

"Can I have this dance?"

"Dance...here?"
"umm hmm"

"Right now?"

"Yeah!"

"But no one's dancing we are gonna make a fool out of ourselves" I blurted my eyes out.

"oh! C'mon" "in the memory of our great prom," he lowered his head and softened his voice while making that persuasive cute face that couldn't resist me from smiling. And my smile was enough for his answer. I gave my hand to him and we started dancing in a small area just beside our table.

His hands around my waist, my hands around his neck, and Ed still with his classic Ed attitude who doesn't care what others around think when he is determined to do something like now he doesn't care that people were staring at us with a questioning look why we were dancing out of the blue while some looked at us with love looking up to the sweet chemistry between us. Just like prom. The prom, the night to remember.

I was sitting on my couch in my blue dress waiting for Connor to show up or at least pick up my call when he cancelled on me over text. Well, I could not miss my prom, so I decided to show up without a date and when I reached, the beginning of the crazy night began.

"Hazel?"

"Ed?"

"Why are you alone?" he frowned. "Where's your date?"

"I don't know" I rolled my eyes.

He raised his brows in confusion

"I mean. Connor just sent a text saying he can't make it tonight. So I'm on my own"

"Why did he cancel last minute?"

"No idea!"

"So? You aren't planning to go alone in prom are you?" he asked with a bit of sarcasm.

"There is no other option"

"Not on my watch," he said with an assuring look and gestured his arms towards me "May I?" he asked.

"But where's your date?"

"The only girl I wanted as my date is the one I'm asking right now" "Just kidding" he added but I knew he wasn't . "no one was available"     I knew that was not true, any girl would've made herself available for him. "Don't worry...I'm asking you just as friends....nothing more."

As friends...that can be done.

"I'll not talk about anything that ruins your night. I promise" he said hesitatingly, he knew all the reasons I could've said no and promised he wouldn't make them happen so maybe this is a good idea moreover we both could use each other's company instead of going alone. I tangled my arms into his and we made our way to the entrance.
