A Little Cinderella Moment

Chapter 88

"You cheating bastard how could you?" She yells at Vance, and he's sat there looking at her with a smug look on her face and he starts to laugh.
"Oh, Candace didn't you see what I was doing? I was using you to fuck with Lockwood's head, I was playing you this whole time. Chase didn't give a shit about you," He looks past Candace and, in our direction, "and by the looks of it, he's not likely gonna get back with a dirty slut like yourself." Everyone on his table bursts out laughing and they all stand up and leave the restaurant not looking back.
Is it a shame that I feel sorry for the girl, as nobody should be humiliated like that? She is still stood there crying in all of her embarrassment she storms out of the restaurant but stops at our table on the way out.
"I hope you enjoyed the show slut," Candace insults.
"Candace, that's enough," Chase chimes in coming to my defense.
"Typical Chase Lockwood, the hero. You have done nothing but defend and protect this slut from that first day when she so says accidentally bumped into you," she air quotes from accidentally, "I bet she knew exactly who you were and planned all of this just to fuck with you and destroy what we had." She's kidding me, right? I didn't know about Chase or Jen before I arrived in California, and she has the nerve to say all this bullshit about me. I have had enough.
I bang my hands on the table causing the cutlery and our glasses to clink and shake as I stand up. I turn and face her I need to finally say something this is getting ridiculous. "Candace that is enough, you are embarrassing yourself more standing here causing drama we know is not true. You have done nothing but bully me and cause shit when it was not necessary, it was you who has caused all of this, not me, not Chase, you. Ever since I transferred from North Carolina and moved here to California it was you who started all of this I did not approach you, you slagged me off in front of the entire cheer squad and football team just to make yourself look like the bad bitch. And now look at you; standing here with no man to hold on to, crumbling to the ground with embarrassment and you brought all this on yourself. Chase is done with you, Vance is done with you, the whole school is done with you, I am done with you. The last thing I am ever gonna say to you Candace is this," I take a calming breath before I deliver my final blow to end this charade. "Karma is a bitch deal with it and stay the fuck away from me, Chase, and the entire Lockwood family I may be a sweet and innocent country girl, but you bet your ass I know how to throw down."
I sit back down, and an applause started around the restaurant with my speech to Candace. To be honest I hope somebody recorded that as I would love to see what it looked like besides from living it. As the applause gets louder Candace screams and runs out of the restaurant. I hope that will be the last we ever see of her.
"Holy fucking shit Savannah, that was hot I have never seen that sort of rage in you. I think the last time I saw this rage was the day you slapped me on the beach." Oh, my god I forgot about that.
"I'm so sorry I did that Chase I shouldn't have lashed out on you the way I did."
"No sweetheart don't apologize for that. I deserved everything you dished out at me on that day if not I deserved more, I shouldn't have treated you the way I did. My mom raised me better than that Jen reminded me of that when I got home that day. I am here not just because this is our first official date and because I love you. I am here to make amends for all of the wrongdoings I have ever had with you. I want this relationship to be open, with no remorse, and no secrets, we both deserve that from all the shit Candace has put us through, we deserve to be happy, and I want to be happy with you." He takes hold of my hand, and gives it a gentle squeeze before lifting it up and placing a soft kiss on the back of my hand.
Just as everything starts to calm back down from the excitement the waiter comes over to take our food order. I start off by apologizing for my part in the commotion, but the waiter wiped it off as nothing because he knows Candace and said she deserved everything that has happened to her.
Something has been bugging me for a little while now, so I have to ask him. "Chase, what did you ever see in Candace for you to be with her for so long?" Once I asked the question, I helped myself to the chips and salsa that was placed on the table and Chase did the same thing.
"To be honest with you sweetheart I thought I had to. The up-and-coming football star you would expect him to be with a cheerleader, and at the time she was the only single girl on the squad. At first, I admit yeah, she was hot so sophomore year I asked her to the school Spring Fling, and it was the following day in school when she clung to my side she was always there, so I guessed I was in a relationship with her. But I should have ended it long before I did, I should have known she was causing shit within my family it was then when Jen and I were no longer close, and my parents never liked her. I stayed with her because I thought it's what I had to do." So, it's down to typical high school stereotypes.
