Charlie's Story. (Book Two Of 1D Fanfic) COMPLETED

Chapter Twenty Seven

Well, it's been about a month now, and Drake and I have talked every night...until last night.  He texted me telling me that he couldn't talk, he was working with some new people and they got mad when he was on the phone.  I didn't think much of it, but it makes me sad that he can't talk much anymore.  My school's been fine, I mean, about as good as school can get.  I had a few new friends, as well as my roommate, who was really into art and photography.  We had become very close friends, I was extremely lucky to have such a good roommate.  I had introduced her to Drake over the phone once when we were talking, and he approved.  I'm on my way to my last class for the week, where I had a very large test that I was freaking out about.  "Hello, class.  You'll have an hour and a half to complete this test, so good luck to all of you.  Your time starts now."  The teacher started her stopwatch as if crushing our hopes and dreams with a smirk on her face.  I looked down at the first question.  This is going to be the death of me.

"So, you did good?"  I shrugged at Jessica, my roommate.  It was now dark outside, and everyone was rushing to their rooms to get ready for their parties they would be attending later that night.  "I think I did ok, not as well as I hoped though."  She gave me a reassuring pat on the back, smiling.  "Well, in celebration of the weekend, I think we should go order some chinese food and watch a movie in the room."  I sighed.  Chinese food, it brought back so many memories.  It was our thing, not mine and Jessica's.  "Ok, sounds good."  We headed up the stairs towards our room, when Jessica took a right.  "I'm just going to the bathroom, I'll be right there."  I nodded, proceeding to open the door.  It was completely dark in the room.  That's weird, I could've sworn I left the lights on.  I continued to the living room, where it was illuminated by candles.  "Trevor?"  He was Jessica's boyfriend, I was assuming that he had planned this for her, it seems like something he would do.  "Guess again."  A deep voice said from behind me.  I turned, not quite sure what to expect.  But there he was, the love of my life, standing there in front of me.  "Drake..."  I trailed off, not believing my eyes.  "Hi, Charlie."  He said, smiling ear to ear.  It was then that I realized this was real life.  I flung myself into his arms, not intending to let go anytime soon. 

"I've missed you so much, you have no idea."  He mumbled into my neck.  "I've missed you too!  I can't believe you're really here...how did you get away from work?"  I pulled back to look at his beautiful eyes.  "They went to the lake house for the weekend, and they have different security there so they gave me a short vacation."  I smiled, still thinking this was the sweetest thing ever.  He could've gone home to get some much needed sleep, but he chose to spend the little time he had with me.  "I love you so much, thank you."  I now took time to look around me at the candles that were lit, and the table he set with Chinese food.  Looks like this is going to be our thing forever, I laughed to myself.  "Does Jessica know you're here?"  He nodded, leading me over to the table.  "She helped me plan it.  She's really in her boyfriend's room right now."  That little girl...she's a good secret-keeper.  Drake and I talked the night away, filling each other in on things that had happened since we last saw each other.  Eventually we got tired, and I got to fall asleep in my boyfriends arms for the first time in a while.  

"What do you think?"  I spun around in the blue dress like a school girl.  "It's nice, why don't you get that one?"  I huffed at Drake for what seemed like the thousandth time.  "You've said that about the past ten I've tried on!"  He smiled, walking over to me and wrapping his arms around me.  "I liked the first one, just as much as I liked the rest.  You know why?"  I shook my head, then he kissed my forehead before continuing.  "Because you could wear absolutely anything in the world and look stunning in it.  Pick the one you like so we can get some food."  He let me go to pick out my dress.  After all this time with Drake, I still get butterflies when he holds me and whispers sweet things in my ear.  I really couldn't have gotten luckier.  Drake wanted to take me out to a nice restaurant tonight before he has to leave in the morning, so I had to come get a dress. I finally decided on a melon colored one I had tried on, and took it to the front.  "That'll be $65.79 please."  Drake pulled his money out before I could, and I thanked him.  After exiting the store, we headed back to the dorm so we could get ready.  I took a shower, straightened my hair, and did my makeup before I could finally feel the beautiful silk of the dress on my body.  I slipped my heels on, and took a look in the mirror.  I looked beautiful, I truly felt beautiful.  I hadn't noticed Drake creep up behind me while I was taking in my appearance, it was only when he started kissing my neck that I realized he was there.  "See, you look stunning."  He took a short break to look at me before continuing to trail kisses up my jawbone.  "Ok, ok...let's go to dinner."  My cheeks were lightly tinted pink from the contact, I hadn't had enough of it in the past few months.  We walked hand in hand to the car, and he held my door open for me before sliding into the driver's side.  "I really hope you're not spending too much on this dinner, I know how hard you have to work and everything.  I'm ok with anything we do as long as I get to spend time with you."  I smiled, taking his larger hand in mine.  "I know, but I want to treat you tonight."  We pulled up to an extremely fancy Chinese restaurant I'd heard a lot about but never actually tried.  I smiled again, loving the fact that he brought me here as a reminder of how our relationship kind of started.  A small lady showed us to our table, and introduced our waitress.  "What can I get to drink for you?"  As I was about to speak, Drake beat me to it.  "Two Dr. peppers, please."  She frowned slightly, probably thinking we'd get alcohol.  Once she brought the drinks back, we ordered some Orange chicken and rice.  I laughed as I thought about the time I got rice stuck in my bra, hair, and all over the house.  "What's funny?"  Drake leaned forward, waiting for my answer.  "Oh, I was just thinking about the first time we had Chinese."  He smirked, obviously recalling the memory.  "Yeah, I remember that.  You got rice in your bra."  Is that all he remembers?  Probably.  I blushed as I playfully hit his arm.  "So, what do you have planned for the rest of the night?"  He shrugged, smiling slightly.  "I thought we might go for a walk around somewhere."  I nodded in agreement.  After all of this food, I might need to work it off.
