XO - Hayes Grier

Chapter 6

Hey guys! I'm so sorry that this is late, I've just been so busy lately. I promise, I will try to work faster for you. But, I'm going away in about a week, so updating will be slow, but I will try the best I can. After that, I'm going to camp for three and a half weeks. I will try my best to write at camp, so I will hopefully be able to update right away. So yea, that's what's going on. Please favorite and vote for my book, it would really be awesome.

I love all my readers! Keep reading, and enjoy!

*Gabriella's POV*

"Hayes," I whisper, looking at him.

"Gaby," he whispered back, walking up to me, grinning widely. "I came."

He looked so handsome in his suit shirt and khakis. He walked towards me, and I walked towards him. He grabbed my hand, making me blush. I can't believe he came. He told me he couldn't. And Hayley seemed to know about this. Did Frankie?

"Did you plan this with Hayley and Frankie?" I ask, looking into his sea blue eyes. He smiled wide.

"How'd you guess?" he asks me in return, grabbing my other hand to face me. "I came to ask you an important question." I look into his eyes again, and he stares back into mine. The DJ starts to play Thinking Out Loud, and everyone around us starts slow dancing. He starts to sing along in his horrible singing voice as we dance, and I giggle at him. He suddenly looks down at me. "Um, Gaby, I've been meaning to ask you this. You are truly beautiful and I really, really like you. Will you be my girlfriend?"

*Hayes's POV*

"Um, Gaby, I've been meaning to ask you this. You are truly beautiful and I really, really like you. Will you be my girlfriend?"

She looks up into my eyes with her chocolate brown ones. "Hayes-"

"I know, it's not some big gesture or anything. I just wanted to surprise you, that's all. I didn't want to lose you to someone else."

"Hayes," she starts again, "of course I'll be your girlfriend." She smiles widely at me. I rest my forehead on hers, looking into her eyes. We just slow dance for the rest of the song, and for the next song, and the next song, and the next.

As Life of the Party wraps up, Gaby pulls away, but I don't let go. "Hayes," she whispers in my ear, making me shiver.

"Yeah," I whisper back.

"My mom's here. You need to let go." I sigh reluctantly and let go of her waist. She giggles. "Maybe you can sleep over tonight. Come on," she says grabbing my hand. We walk towards the door together to join Frankie and Hayley. They squeal at our intertwined hands and jump up and down. How do they jump in those heels? I will never understand girls.

"Are you sleeping over?" Gaby asks.

"If you want me to," I reply. "But my mom wants me home tonight. Maybe you could sleep at my place? The boys are sleeping over."

"I'll ask," Gaby replies. She returns a minute later pulling me to the car. "My mom said yes. She's driving me to your house. Le'go." I looked at her closely. She is absolutely beautiful. I can't believe I have such an amazing girl as my girlfriend. "Hayes? Whatcha thinking about?" Gaby brings me out of my thoughts. Okay Hayes, time to be romantic.

"Just how beautiful you are," I say, smiling at her. She smiles back her gorgeous smile.

"That's the cliché boyfriend I know!" Shit Hayes, that was cliché. Come on, you can do better than that. Make her laugh or something.
