Gone

Chapter 2- Homecoming Secrets

The rest of the day went by so quick, all I could think about is Bryce and how sweet he was. I didn't know that soon I was going to loose him.

Finally after he got done with his practice we started to drive home, as we listened to music and just enjoyed the moment his phone went off, he picked it up to answer.

"Heyllo."
I listened to the conversion as we drove down the road.
"Um, I was gonna do something special or you know."
Special? Hmm.
"I guess I can and we will just eat there."
*We* hmm, I'm starting to feel happy.
"Yep, okay I will see you in an minute, love you."
He pushes the end button and sets down his phone.
"That was my mom, and she just made us reservations for 7:00 at the Cordon Blú. But we have to stop at my house for pictures before then."
I pause for a moment.
" Cordon Blú? That place is crazy expensive. I can't let you." I say and feel sad. I look up and we were in my driveway. He looks at me and takes my hand.
"My mom got a free dinner for two, as a prize from work. And anyway I would do anything for you no matter the price." He says, and reaches to the back seat and grabs a box that has a bow on it and I look at it as he hands it to me.
"Is it for me?" I say in awe, amd before he can answer I pull him into a bear hug. I release him and he nodds, I unwrap the box and lift up the lid to reveal a gorgeous white, short dress.
"Your mom helped me pick it out and she said you favorite color is White. Do you like it?" He asks and I feel like I could faint.
"Like it? I am in love with it." I say and all I could do is stare at it.
"You go get ready. You have two hours so I'll pick you up at 7:30?" He says to me and all I could do is nod, I lean over a kiss him on the cheek. And I grab my phone and my bag and get out of the car. I run upstairs and start getting undressed for the shower, I open my window and let in the breeze go through my hair. I'm in my tank top, and I look down at my phone and it went off, I have a snap chat from Bryce. I open it and it's a picture of me at my window, I look up at Bryce's house and I see him sitting in his chair looking at me then at his phone and I smile and walk away amd I hop into the shower.

I sing to myself while I condition and shampoo my hair and shave my legs, I rap my hair in a towel and wrap my self in a towel I sit in my chair and start putting on my make up, and start doing my hair. When I'm done curling my hair, for a natural wavy look I pick out some shoes, heals, convers or my flats? I pick out some dark gray heels and some socks that didn't show past my heels. I put in some small earrings and brush one more time through my reddish brown hair. Making sure my waves are perfect amd grab my jacket and head down stairs, I see my mom waiting and it's already 7:20, and there is my handsome Bryce staring at me, hes wearing a suit and tie, that's grey with a deep blue tie and his blonde hair is combed back and he is just staring at me in amazement.
"You look, stunning" he says as he looks up and down.
" You two are adorable, picture time." My mom says and I walk up to him with my phone and purse in hand I put my hand around his back and he places his arm around my waist. I feel a burst like it was the first time he ever touched me, and I feel a spark of excitement. She takes the picture and plants a kiss on mine and Bryce's cheek, which made Bryce blush. We walk out side and the warm Texas air hits me, Bryce stops and grabs my hand. He pulls ne close by the waist.
"You are the most beautiful woman i have ever seen . He pulls me even closer than before than gives me a hard satisfying kiss.
" So adorable!" My mother yells holding up her cell phone, we realize she was taking a picture.
"Thanks mom. We will be going now." Bryce and I rush to his car and get in. We start laughing as he starts the car.
"One stop at my house and CB we will be!" He exclaims, and I feel very happy, I pull out my phone and answer my Snapchats as we pull into his drive less then 30 seconds later. His mom, dad, and sister Natalie waiting for us. Bryce parks the car and goes to the other side to let me out. He opens the door and holds out his hand to help me out, I look up at him and place my hand in his.
"Madam." he says and gently kisses my hand. I blush furiously and get up out of the car and look at Natalie as she rolls her eyes with a happy disgust.
"Smile! Then you can be in your way!" His mother coons, and he pulls me by my waste and smiles amd all I can do is look at him and smile.
"This is great, I love this picture! Now you kiddos have fun!" She says and Bryce walks and opens my side door, and before I get in I wave.
"Thank you!" I say and she nods and waves back. I get in a fasten my seat belt and Bryce gets in and fastens his seat belt and starts the car, his family starts filing back in the house and they wave and we both wave back.
We start heading our way to CB and we start sparking conversation about stupid things. We pull in and it looks packed, Bryces face looks unpleasant. We go in and there is already a line, and Bryce and I go up past the line to the hostest station. There is a brown haired waitress standing there tapping on the pad in front of her.
"Hi, we have a reservation that is a 2 person free thingy." And he hands her the slip. She looks puzzled and scans the paper .
"Im sorry but it seems that this has already been used." She says qnd Looks at us.
"Well what do you mean its already been used I got this as a gift." Bryce says, amd he is starting look angry, I rap my arm around his and I can see his eyes smile a little bit.
"I'm sorry sir there is nothing, I can do." I see Bryce's face drop, and I give him a reassuring squeeze with my arm and we leave, we get into the car and he looks complexed.
"Im sorry Bryce." I say and he looks at me , and smiles.
" You didn't do anything, its me who should be sorry." I feel sad that he feels this way.
"Why don't we go to Panda Express?" I ask and his eyes lighten as he starts the car.
"I think we are meant to be. Because that sounds really good." He says and I laugh and off to Panda Express we went. We both ordered Chow Mein and Orange Chicken. It was probably the most happiest moments we got dressed up and Had crappy food but the moment was so real. Later we got back into the car and started driving to the pier, when my Facebook notification went off. My mom tagged me in a photo of us (photo at the top) standing in the mini pond between the U of our houses.
"My mom posted that picture of us." I say and he smiles.
"We are here princess." I look up and smile. I take off my shoes, undo my seatbelt and take my phone and run from the parking lot to the beach right next to the pier. I take a deep breath of ocean, and dip my feet into the water. So pretty, so so dark as the moon reflects across the water. I feel a tug at my waist and Bryce's arms surrond me, and all I can think of is how happy I am to be here, I look up at him and he's looking down at me and softly kisses me. Then he looks out to the ocean, and I do the same then he lifts me into the air.
