A Little Cinderella Moment

Chapter 72

Savannah P.O.V

He's in love with me? I must be dreaming. I secretly hoped Wolf would be Chase behind the mask, and now knowing he is. I don't know if I should be thrilled or pissed. Our first kiss on the dance floor is something out of a romance novel, but to say my first kiss with Chase is something I read makes it that more magical. Chase is so close that he could kiss me again. If he is being honest and truthful to me about everything tonight, he deserves the same in return. Running my hands along his arm as he holds my face, I confess my truth.

"I'm in love with you too Chase." As soon as the words are out of my mouth his lips crash against mine.

"Seriously you guys gross, don't make me hose you down." We break apart from the kiss, Chase rests his chin on top of my head as we both laugh at Jen's statement. "We all better get back in before someone comes out here looking for us."

Chase pulls me into him and wraps his arms around me into a hug. "We'll be right behind you Jen, just give us a couple minutes."

"Okay, but don't say I didn't warn you, bro." Jen turns to walk back into the ballroom before she turns around and looks at us once more. "Oh, and Chase! hurt my best friend I hurt you." After that promise I'm assuming it is, she walks back into the ballroom to join the others.

"We better get back in 'cause we never know who else might come out here."

"We will Savannah, but I just need one more minute to ask you a question." He takes hold of both of my hands and holds them down in front of us.

"Sure Chase, what is it?" I'm curious about what he is wanting to ask me.

"Well, umm... We have been speaking to each other for months now and I asked you to be my date to this Christmasqurade Ball. I feel like I've gotten to know you from a deeper perspective. I meant what I said to you earlier Savannah, I'm in love with you. What I'm trying to ask you is Savannah, will you be my girlfriend?"

"You want me to be your girlfriend?"

"Yes, I do more than anything you could possibly dream of. So, will you? Please?"

"Yes Chase, yes I'll be your girlfriend." We both smile and Chase cups my face and kisses me softly.

"You have no idea how happy you've just made me sweetheart."

"I have a damn good guess." We both laugh at our little joke; Chase takes my hand in his as we head back on into the ballroom to join our friends.

Walking into the ballroom we see Selena and Lucas dancing the night away, Jen is talking to someone near the stage and Greg is sitting at the table, so we walk up and join him.

Chase holds a chair out for me to sit. I take a seat and Chase comes and sits next to me, scooting as close to me as he possibly can get, draping his arm over the back of my chair. He leans into me so he can talk in my ear so I can hear him. "You comfortable sweetheart?" Smiling at him I give him a curt nod and lean into his body. Chase kisses the top of my head and turns his attention to Greg.

"Greg, since my sister is not here at the moment do you mind if we talk?" Looking at Chase I have a feeling this is going to be the fuck with my sister I fuck with you, big brother speech.

"I think I know where this is going, but yeah sure." Greg seems like he knew this was coming. I guess it's better to be done sooner or later as who knows when they will be left alone again. If Jen allows it too.

"Are you dating my baby sister again?"

Baby sister? What is he talking about? Sensing my confusion Chase leans over and whispers in my ear "Older by a minute and a half." Ahh, that makes sense now, nodding I let them continue with their conversation.

"Chase, I respect you for protecting your sister but I'm gonna be completely honest with you here."

I see Chase tense in his chair not liking what Greg is saying. If I don't try and calm him down, I'm concerned he might hit him. I rest my hand on his thigh under the table and give it a squeeze, just to bring his attention away from aggression. He moves his hand from behind my chair, places it on top of mine, picking it up, and giving the back of my hand a gentle kiss before placing it back on the table still in his grasp.

"I may not like what you might say but." Chase turns and looks at me and smiles, "I've recently learned to give the benefit of the doubt, because you never know it might surprise you." He turns his focus back to Greg, "So, please be honest as I know we all want what's best for Jen."

Taking a sip of his snowball punch, he points at Chase as he puts his cup back down on the table. "Now that is something we both agree on."

"Yeah, yeah, I get it, Greg. Just tell me, are you or are you not dating my baby sister?"

"I'm in love with her."
