Dreaming (Ethan Dolan Fanfic)

Chapter 6

*big time jump*

It's my last full day here, and I get to spend it again with Clay. We have been hanging out for the past two days and I have had the best time. He said that he had something very important to tell me this afternoon. About a day ago, I started to feel different when I was around him. I got butterflies in my stomach, my hands got a bit sweaty, and I got a bit nervous and insecure. I remember having a crush on him and all, but I thought it went away. That was yesterday though. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I really like him again, a lot. I'm itching to find out what he is going to tell me.

Clay's P.O.V -

It's Rachel's final full day home for a while and I am really going to miss her. It was great having having her back home and around. I missed her a whole bunch, and I really don't want her to leave. I know it's only been two days, but I really, really like her. Like, more than a friend. That's why I'm going to ask her out before she leaves. I know, I know, it's crazy but I can't let her slip out of my fingers again. It had happened once before and I won't let it happen again.

I start getting ready to go pick her up for lunch. I take a quick shower and put on a red t-shirt, blue jeans, and light gray Converse. I fluff up my hair the way she likes it. As I get about halfway to her house I can almost not hold in my excitement. I have a very high chance that she will say yes, for this reason: she doesn't have a boyfriend. I take a big breath in and let it out as I pull into her neighborhood. 

Rachel's P.O.V -

Clay will pick me up at noon and it is now 10:15. I take a shower, then dry my hair. I straighten my hair to where it is straight and smooth. I put on a black AC/DC (a rock band of the 80's) shirt, light blue jeans, and my dark gray Vans. I go lightly with my makeup and brush my teeth. I am anxious to find out what he has to tell me, and internally I am hoping that he will ask me to be his girlfriend or something. That probably won't happen though, for we have only been hanging out for the past few days. 

As I look out the front window, I see him pull up. Perfect timing. I hop in and automatically turn it to the rock station. "Hey, no one gave you permission to change the station." he says to me and gives me a smirk of a grin. That sends a shock up and down my spine. "Well I didn't ask for permission, I didn't need to because I knew that you also like this station and you would let me change it anyway." I say and smirk back at him. We rock out to AC/DC, Def Leppard, Whitesnake, Scorpions, Metallica, Twisted Sister, Quiet Riot, and everyone else in between. We also talk about him coming over to LA next time to see me. Gosh I really don't want to leave. I do miss Grace and Riley though. 

I get a text from Riley right at that moment, reading: "OMG! Hayes just asked me to be his girlfriend!!! We were at this amazing restaurant, then out of the blue he jumps up on to the table and starts singing my favorite song, once he was done he popped the girlfriend question! Of course I said yes, who wouldn't?! Btw you need to ask Grace what she has been up too, she really wants to tell you but doesn't want to interrupt your time with your family." I tell her congrats and tell her to tell Grace that I will call her tonight. I hit send and by that time, we are at the restaurant. "Oh I love this place!" I feel my face blushing up remembering a time of when Clay and I were "together". "For our first date, this is where I will bring you because I know that this is your favorite place to eat at." He once told me. 

I turn to look at a red faced Clay as he starts remembering it too. "Let's go in already, I'm starving!" I grab his wrist and pull him into the restaurant. We get our seats and place our orders. We talk about the perks of living in the South and the perks of living on the West Coast. He told me about all the different things I missed while I was away and that everyone misses me. "Tell them that I miss them too. I'll miss this place and you too, but I can't wait to get back to LA and see Grace and Riley again. I wish you could come with me." He looks at me with a sad look on his face, "I wish I could come too, I'm going to miss you a lot. There is one reason behind why I will miss you so much." He says this with excitement building in his eyes. "Now what could that reason be exactly?" I ask him with almost too much curiosity in my voice. "Rachel, the reason I brought you here was so that I could ask you a very important question, now I know it's sudden and fast but, would you do me the honor of being my girlfriend?" My heart internally bursts with excitement. I am almost so happy I can't respond. "Yes, yes of course!" I jump up and hug him as tightly as I could so that he wouldn't leave my arms for a good while. We stood there like this for a while until he started to hold me so tightly I couldn't breathe. He realizes how hard he's squeezing me and let's go. "Sorry, I guess I'm just so excited that you said yes." 

We go back to my house and watch movies for the rest of the day. As he stands in the front doorway, we make plans to visit at least once every other month and video chat when we can. I hug him and give him a kiss on the cheek as we say goodnight. He returns the kiss and walks out the door. I close the door with a feeling of completion in my heart.

Sorry for the late update but I was slammed today. I will not be able to update this weekend so this was the big update for the next few days. Love my readers and hope you enjoyed this chapter!
