mismatched (Bridget x Hook)

XIV- castlecoming 1

Bridget's POV
She patiently waited in her room, Ella had to go because she had promised she'd meet Charming to help him with his hair. Bridget was waiting for Hook, it was about 6:55pm which was 5 minutes before Hook said he'd come and meet her. She was doing last minute touch ups on her makeup.

She heard a knock at her door, she smiled knowing this is when the night she's been waiting for forever officially starts. She opened the door and Hook was standing there with a bouquet of flowers.

"Hey!" She smiled, he looked at her. "The wait was worth it." He smiled back, she just gave him a confused look. "Oh! Uh- sorry I meant you look gorgeous. Really gorgeous." He gave her the flowers.

She just looked down smiling to herself, "Thanks!" She was nervous, "You look quite dashing yourself." She giggled, he nodded and walked into the dorm. He was wearing a red tux, that still had a bit of Hooks personalised touches to it.

"So.. there's an hour to castlecoming. What do you wanna do?" Bridget asked, Hook looked around her room. It was actually not in its usual clean state for once which meant Bridget put more effort into her look for castlecoming than her usual perfectionist state.

Hook shrugged, "We could go watch the sunset. Seems like a nice thing to do to relax ourselves for castlecoming." He responded spinning around to see if she agreed, in which she did. Honestly though, Bridget probably would have just said yes to anything he threw onto the table.

They left her dorm and headed down to the gardens. Hook insisted that it was the best view for the sunsets. As they got down they had probably around 20 minutes before the sun actually set so decided to just talk for a bit.

"Bridget can you promise me something tonight?" Hook asked, looking at her, Bridget nodded, "Of course!" She was confused because he looked really serious. "Promise me! You won't go near uliana tonight." He looked at her, he was worried for the prank because he knew uliana was planning for it to happen tonight.

Bridget was confused, "Why would Uliana care about me tonight anyway?" Bridget chuckled slightly, Hook stayed persistent "Promise me, please." He begged her, she held up her pinkie finger. He looked at her and scoffed, "Pinkie promise?" He asked sarcastically, "what are you? 8?" He was joking but she frowned still holding up her finger.

He rolled his eyes playfully and crossed his pinkie with hers, "See now I've promised!" She smiled, looking at him. "I don't think I've pinkie promised since I was in kindergarten." He chuckled looking at her.

"You don't pinkie promise? It's like a secured swear! I do them all the time." She smiled to herself. Hook raised his eyebrows, "Yeah I could've guessed your the type of person to pinkie promise." She turned around to look at him, "What's that supposed to mean?" She said in a playful tone.

He held his hands up, "Okay my bad! If it makes you happy." He nodded. Bridget pointed out that the sun was setting and they decided to just stay on the bench that they were on to watch it.

"It is pretty." Bridget said, leaning back against the bench.  "Castelcomings in 10 minutes. Want to start heading there now?" Hook asked Bridget looking at the time on his watch, Bridget quickly jumped up "Really!? Wow the time went fast. We have to go!" Bridget grabbed his hand and dragged him up.

He still had a major worry lingering around him as they walked towards the schools hall, he knew what Uliana was planning but he knew Bridget wouldn't break the promise she had that whole pinkie promise speech.

They made it to the schools hall just in time for the dance to start. Bridget saw Ella with Charming and waved at them, she was happy that her best friend had found somebody who made her so happy.
