Unexpected Love

Part 9

Y/N POV
"Thomas, what are you doing?" I ask as he begins to dance. "Don't worry about it," he smirks, grabbing ahold of my waist and moving my hands up to his shoulders. We sway back and forth to the music, surrounded by other couples slow dancing and laughing. I continue to see Thomas look over toward Carter, smiling every time Carter gives another thumbs up. "Thomas, what's going on?" I stop dancing, and give him a stern look. "Give me a sec," he moves away from me, and walks toward Carter and starts to whisper in his ear. Why is he acting like this?

Thomas's POV
"Is this the right time, Thomas? I need to let the DJ know." Carter whispers. "Yeah, but hurry before y/n finds out we're up to something." I turn around to see y/n listening over our conversation, arms crossed in front of her chest and an annoyed look covering her face. "Before y/n finds out what?" She asks, stepping closer toward me. "Nothing." I grab her hand and drag her on the dance floor, trying to take her mind off of it. I look over at Carter and give him the signal, and he walks toward the DJ.

Y/N POV
Thomas is being really secretive, and it's really starting to annoy me. I don't know what he has up his sleeve, but I have a feeling I'm going to find out soon. Thomas begins to dance with me once again, and he starts smiling once the DJ turns off the music. Everyone turns their heads toward the DJ, waiting to see what he's doing. "This one goes out to y/n and Thomas," he announces into the microphone. My heart begins to pound, and I turn my attention back to Thomas. The beginning tune of the music begins playing, and I know the song right away. "Oh don't you dare look back, just keep your eyes on me," Thomas begins to mouth the words, while I'm still speechless. He pulls me into him, and he kisses my cheek. Even though it's not a slow song, Thomas puts his hands on my waist, and pulls me close. I rest my hands on his shoulders, and we sway back and forth as I rest my head on his chest. We continue dancing until the end of the song, and Thomas moves my chin up with his index finger so our eyes meet. "Y/n, I know we haven't known each other very long, and when we met I already had a girlfriend, but I want you to know every second I spent with you was amazing. You're so funny and smart, and beautiful. Even when you're mad at me you're still beautiful. I never regret a second of our time together, going out the backdoor in the movie theater that day was the best decision I've ever made. You really are my destiny, and I know I wouldn't be able to go on if I never met you. I like you, I really do. So, will you go out with me?" I shake my head yes slowly, and he leans in to press his lips against mine. So this is what Carter was helping Thomas with? Why would he help him when he was all over me? "Thomas, I-I really need to tell you something." I figured this would be a good time to tell Thomas what happened between Carter and I. "What is it, love?"
