How did we end up here

Chapter 12

Heyy guys welcome to chapter 12. thank you for reading this story. Hope you enjoy!

I was getting ready for my date with Zane. He told me to dress casual. I decided to just take my favourite thrifted top and pants. I really like them.

For my makeup I just did my lashes and put some highlighter on. I just left my hair as it is. My hair was always kind of curly and wavy. I think if I had a hair routine, my curls would be more defined, but I think it's fine the way it is.

I was ready to go, so I just went into Alice's room real quick. "Alice, I don't know how long I'll be, but feel free to call me anytime.", she agreed and I went downstairs. At exactly 5pm I hear a knock. Zane was standing at my door. He looked so hot.

"You look gorgeous.", he said, his eyes roaming over me. His eyes stopped at my face. I could swear I saw his eyes light up. „You don't look bad your self too.", I told him.

„we should get going", he said and with that I closed the door behind me and followed him to his car.

"So where are we going?", I asked him curiously. "You'll see soon, don't worry:", he said with a smug look on his face. I pouted my lips like a small child so he would give in, but he just laughed. "I hope you know how much of an attitude you actually have. But don't worry I love putting up with it.", I didn't know how to react to that, so I just rolled my eyes at him. I always feel like I can just be myself and don't have to worry about him being mad at me or getting offended. Our personalities just match well, I guess.

We drove for about 20 minutes and there was never any awkward silence in the car. He finally stopped a car beside a field. It was slowly getting dark, but I could still see the beautiful flowers on the field.

"Wow, Zane this is beautiful!", I exclaimed. "Glad you like it. Come on.", with that he took my hand, and we went deeper into the field. I was sure, if I were here with any other guy, I would have been thinking about not getting kidnaped but with Zane I felt safe. I felt protected.

We stopped in the middle of the field and that's when I realized Zane had a small bag with him. He took out a small blanked and some food. It felt so romantic, and I didn't know how to react. We sat down and I looked at the food. There were some deserts and some fruit. It looked so cute.

"Wow, Zane you did all of this?", I asked him. "Yeah, I even baked these so if they're not the best, I'm sorry.", he said pointing at the deserts. I was shocked at this. He actually baked these himself. "No way, you actually baked these. They look great!", I told him. He looked a little shy, but he thanked me.

We started eating the food and just chatting. Itwas getting darker and darker, and I could see the stars in the ski. It wasreally pretty. After we ate all the food, we laid down to watch the sky. It wasa full moon, and it was really bright. Out conversation never got dry, and itnever
became awkward. We somehow got to talking about what we want to do after school, and I found out Zane always wanted to open a small bakery, but he had to take over his father's company in a few years so he couldn't. as he was talking about the bakery, he sounded sad and I could feel that if he could find the time, he would do both, but he doesn't think he would be able to do it, when he's the CEO of a company.

I told him about my dreams to be a surgeon, but I wasn't sure if I'd be able to get into a good college with a scholar ship. We talked about different colleges, and we realized we applied to some of the same, even though we didn't even want to go the same rout in our life. Zane explained to me, that he needed to go to a business school, and we realized that some of the schools we applied to were medical and business. They were really big schools with a lot of maigers, so it didn't surprise me that much, but still.

The night went by so fast and before I knew it, we had already been talking for 3 hours. Our conversation varied a lot, and I learned some interesting things about his family. He told me, that his parents were almost never at home, because they were always on business trips, so he basically was always alone with his brother. For me it's a big green flag when guys are good with children, so I liked that he and his little brother were so close.

It was getting really late, so we made out way back to his car. In the car we continued our conversations, and I don't even know how, but he suddenly suggested to take me to swimming lessons. He said he would help me himself. Just like private lessons. At first, I was hesitant, and I didn't want to give in, but in the end I for some reason I gave in. We made plans to always go to the swimming pool on Saturday after our tutoring lesson.

We arrived at my house and Zane got out with me. "Thank you so much for tonight. I loved it.", I told him smiling. "Well, I'm glad you liked it. I also hat a lot of fun tonight. We should do this again sometimes.", he told me, and my heart started racing. How did I end up here? I was just on a date with one of the most handsome guy in my school and who I'm supposed to hate, and now I'm already planning the second date. But to be honest I didn't mind.

"Yeah, we should do this again sometimes.", I told him. "Well, I should get going so I wish you a good night and you can always text me if you have a problem with your dad.", he told me and for some reason it reassured me a lot. It was good knowing I could always come to him for help. I wasn't sure if I will come to him for help, but it was good to know I could.

We hugged as goodbye, and I just felt so secure in his arms.

I went inside and thankfully none was awake so Ijust went into the bathroom to take a shower.
