Where I Belong (Parker_Games)

2.) New Guy

Dani's POV

"Breathe," I told myself. My chest is steadily rising and falling along with a few sweat beads dripping down my forehead. The look on Brayden's face made my decision very clear. I know what I have to say. . .

"Babe, please say something. Just nod you're head or blink." The tone in his voice sounded distressed. If only he knew how hard it is to even breathe. My jaw felt like it was welded shut, but somehow it managed to open.

"Yes." It came out in a whisper. "Yes!" I screamed to the top of my lungs as the crowd cheered. My heart felt somehow lighter. Without thinking much, Brayden and I embraced each other in one of the most meaningful hugs I've ever had. His arms laid just above my waist, and my arms were around his neck. Our bodies are so close that air can't even slip through.

"Dani," he began whispering in my ear, " we're going on a date tonight." Before I could speak, as if I actually could, he turned me around to face the extremely happy crowd. His hand slid perfectly into mine. I wonder. . .is all of this just for publicity?

After a couple of hours of questions and silliness, we all finally said our good-byes to the crowd. As the rest of the Cube members headed back down the corridor I once stood alone in, Brayden tugged my arm. He gently pressed his forehead against mine, and we both stood there in silence. I began biting my lower lip. "Brayden. . .would it. . .be rude if. . .or too fast if. . ." my nervousness took over. That's exactly what I didn't want to happen. "Nevermind. Let's catch up with the rest of the guys." My heart sank in dissappointment. I pulled away from him and began walking with my head down. Why is this so hard?

After a few moments I realized that I was walking alone. My feet slowly shuffled across the solid floor, and my hands began fidgeting with each other. "Dani!" I slowly turned around to see Brayden sprinting to catch up with me. For some reason, my heart felt like it had turned into a hummingbird. "It's not too soon." Those words caught me by surprise and so did he. He had one arm around my waist as he pulled me closer to him. The other hand slid perfectly on my lower jaw. I swiftly licked my lips in preparation for what's about to happen. I know it's going to happen!

My hands tried to pull his body closer to mine, but we were closer than we were on stage earlier. As his face neared mine, his lips just centemeters away, the door to the main lobby opened up with a loud creek. Brayden quickly pulled away from me. "Hey guys, hope I wasn't-" it was Queen Bee herself. "Um. . .I'll just wait out here. I'm so sorry." She quickly shut the door and left me and Brayden alone again.

"Let's just wait for our date tonight. Okay? I want. . I need everything to be perfect." He smirked at me. "If that's okay I asked Bee to set up dinner reservations. She was probably gonna run them by us." We began slowly walking in sync.

"Can we keep them a surprise?" I could feel excitement swelling up inside me. "Please, baby! Surprises are so much fun!" Part of me felt like I was a little kid again.

"Sure thing." He kissed me on the cheek before we toured the rest of the con.

Back at the Cube house, almost 4 hours later, Bee was putting my hair up into an elegant bun. The door to our room was closed because most of the guys were filming something downstairs. "So, when I go downstairs, all the guys will film me?" My cheeks got 2 degrees hotter just thinking about it.

"Yes, but if you feel uncomfortable they'll edit it out." She reminds me of Wonderwoman. Everything is always under control and thought of when she's around.

"Thank you. It means a lot to me." I shot her a faint smile from the mirror. My light green eye color looks more enhanced with a brown smokey eye. "Have you ever thought of doing a fashion blog on Tumblr?" She giggled.

"No, but people have told me I should." We kept our conversations to a minimum for the next 5 All Time Low songs. The dress she picked out for me was really tight fitting. It came at midthigh, but it also complimented my baby curves. The color was jet black with lace along the sides. "Put these on!" She laid black wedges on the floor in font of me. "Hold you're breath." She sprayed perfume lightly around me as the whole room filled with a light lilac sent. "You're all done. Let's take a selfie before you go!" We both posed for the full mirror photo before she ran out of the room. "GUYS!" The whole house was silent.

My reflection looked like a completely different person. I didn't even look this good for prom. Bee does one hell of a job. "Pssttt." I glanced at Bee who was motioning me to exit the room. With each slow foot step, my pulse began pounding against my veins again. Her room was the last one in the long hallway, so the walk seemed take forever.

I stopped at the top of the stairs when my eyes spotted him. The unfimiliar face I've never seen before. He wasn't here earlier. Dark skinny jeans, a smoke colored beanie, and a 'SuperLeague' tee fitted the new guy well. My jaw slightly dropped when my eyes focused on my handsome date.

I slowly made my way down the stairs, ignoring everyone in the whole room except Brayden. He looked handsome in a button up and black pants, and his shoes were so shiny. Before I could compliment him, he spoke. "Oh, you guys haven't met have you? Dani this is Parker." We kept starring at each other until I spoke first.

"I don't always look like this." For some reason, the rest of the Cube members laughed in unison. We spent almost 30 minutes taking vlogs and laughing.

"The Uber is outside! He knows where to go." H scooted us out the door. "Have fun you knuckleheads." He slowly shut the door behind me and Brayden. I exhaled trying to relieve some tension, but I still have a knot inside my stomach.

"Come on. Our magical night awaits, my Princess." His eyes sparkled with overwhelming joy that quickly assured me he loved me without actually saying so. My lips quickly pecked his cheek.

"Let's go my, Prince. The promise of the night awaits."
