Always Been You [EXO Series Book One]

Chapter Fourteen

Chapter Fourteen [edited]

Luhan POV
She was indeed really beautiful. What shocked me tonight was that she wasn't like other girls that I've met before. She was bold, daring and was willing to take risks to have fun.

Right now, all I need was to ask her to be my girlfriend. Even though we've only met two weeks ago, it seemed like forever. I was eager to ask her, but I didn't know her well enough to plan a surprise for her.

Maybe I needed Mikaela's help again. I just hope she would be willing to help me because she's the type of girl who nags at you if you do something to upset her best friends.

I had just dropped Vanessa off to her, Mikaela, Trevor and Jordan's apartment and went back to the hotel. I thought of tonight and my heart erupted with fireworks again.

She had convinced me to join her in the fountain by splashing cold fountain water at me. I was surprised and decided to take off my shoes to join her.

The minute I stepped in, she splashed me wet. Wet as in, my whole tux was soaked. I then realized that I should've took off my suit jacket before I went in.

I splashed her with a handful of water and she splashed me back. We were splashing around for awhile, enjoying ourselves, until a cop came.

We quickly jumped out of the fountain, picked up our shoes and quickly hauled the nearest taxi. We hopped into the taxi before the cop could get to us.

I smiled as I thought of it. But Baekhyun just had to ruin my moment by snapping his fingers in front of me once I've reached the doors to our linked rooms.

"Hyung, what are you thinking about?" Baekhyun asked me as we walked into one of the rooms.

"Nothing. How was your time at the ball, saeng?" I asked him, be sure to change the subject.

"Don't change the subject, hyung. Everyone knows that you and Vanessa ditched the ball and went out through the back door." Sehun came in and gave me a fist-bump.

"Really? Was it that obvious?" I asked, rubbing the back of my neck.

"Duh. Plus, twitter is trending." Chanyeol came in and threw himself onto the bed.

"Tell us everything, hyung." Chen came out from the bathroom and sat next to Chanyeol.

"Seriously? Are you guys all so excited about me and her ditching?" I asked, crossing my arms and looked at them.

"Yah, saeng, you do know that its so obvious that you like her, right?" Xiumin hyung came from the other room through the linked door and sat next to Baekhyun.

"What? Who said tha-"

"Don't try to deny it, Luhan. It is obvious." Kris and Suho came in with Tao, Kai, Kyungsoo and Lay.

I groaned and sat next to Sehun. The small room was now crowded as they are more of us.

They last six who came sat down and I began my story. I ended with my question to get their help for me to ask her out and be my girlfriend.

"You should do a romantic gesture."

"You should get down on your knees and beg, lol."

"Huh? What did you ask again?"

"Take her out for bubble tea."

"Whatever."

"Take my money and buy lots and lots of things for her."

"You should just ask. If she doesn't accept, I'll use my wushu skills on her."

"Prepare a romantic dinner or picnic and then ask her."

"Buy lots of bottles of eyeliner for her."

"Learn some sexy dance moves from me and perform it for her."

"Bring her for me to scare the derp out of her."

I rolled my eyes and thought back to the kiss we shared just now at the SM Ball.

But then, Chanyeol decided to slap me in the face to wake me up so we could discuss about what I should do when I next see her and how I was going to ask her to be my girlfriend.

Vanessa POV
*sighs* Last night was just so wonderful. Luckily that cop didn't catch us.

I got up and stretched. We had fun and it was one of the most amazing nights I've had so far since I migrated here with Mikaela, Trevor and Jordan.

We shared a kiss at the SM Ball (even though I kissed him first), had dinner at my favourite restaurant, splashed and played around in the water fountain at the park and ran away from a cop.

*sighs* So amazing. Every time I thought of Luhan, my feelings for him increase and my heart flutters.

"Nessa! Wake up!" Mikaela was pounding on my locked-door.

I was interrupted from my thoughts and looked to the digital clock beside my table. My eyes widened as I saw it read 7.30 am. I only had half an hour before school started. OH MY GOD!

"Coming!" I quickly grabbed a towel and tied my hair into a messy bun. I then ran to the bathroom to take a quick shower. I wrapped my towel around my body after my shower and rushed into my bedroom.

Luckily the boys and Mikaela were already at the kitchen having their breakfast, if not I would be flushed of embarassment because I only had a towel wrapped around myself.

I simply chose an outfit and put it on. It consisted of my white short jeans, blue hoodie (zipped to the top), blue converse, my black cat necklace, black ribbon earrings and my black watch.

I ran a brush through my hair and grabbed my blue shoulder bag. I literally ran down the stairs and rushed into the kitchen.

"Wow, you almost broke Mikaela's record for dressing quickly after waking up late." Jordan looked to his watch and back at me.

"Really?" I sat next to Mikaela and poured the box of cereal into my empty bowl. I added milk and grabbed my spoon to eat.

"Yeah, it was so close. Just by two seconds." Trevor looked to Jordan's stopwatch on his watch and ate his cereal.

I gulped down the cereal in my mouth. "Seriously? Just by two seconds?"

Mikaela laughed at me and patted my back. "Don't be jealous Nessa, we all know I'm still the fastest 'changer' after waking up late."

The boys, Mikaela and I laughed as I heard the sarcasm in her voice.

I looked around at all of them and realised that I was one lucky girl indeed. Three best friends who love me equally and a life that was almost perfect.

Thank you, God.
