Filling in the Cracks

Chapter 14: Kiss and Tell

Dawns POV

"Yeah, that's fine. What about Sierrah?" I asked my mom into my phone. "She'll stay with Linda tonight. You enjoy your last night." She answered. "Kay mama. Safe flight. Love you." I said hanging up after mama replied with a 'love you.'

"Mum?" Mac asked.

"Yep." I said popping the p. "Leaving for Boston tonight, some hotel opening or something." I finished rolling my eyes.

"Soo" Nalani said trying to divert the attention away from my parents. "When are you going on you first date!" She finished her sentence with a wink.

Nalani was always the persuasive one. Well I guess since tonight's our last night I could call him, but I rather hang with my real friends. Then an idea popped into my mind 'Double Date!' And then Mac and Matt. (chuckling to myself.) I rang Kayden and he agreed to the plan, even sounding impressed.

"Girls!" I called to Mac and Nalani.

"Yes?" They replied slurring the s.

"Mac call Matt, Nalani call James. We're going out."

Mac and Nalani were dolled up and ready to go. While I was here in my bathrobe debating over dresses.

"Hmm..maxi dress with a black over coat, or black skinnys with gold halter top," I asked myself not realizing I said it aloud.

"Forgetting the overcoat for the halter?" Mac asked chuckling with Nalani, them both knowing how self conscience I am.

"Nope! Right here!" I said waving a creme cardigan in the air. Nalani rolled her eyes and folded her arms across her chest. She came towards me and then to my suitcase.

"Uh Dawn." She asked. "Yeah?" I replied subconsciously. "You do realize it's still quite warm out and not winter!" She said taking out all the cardigans and jackets I had packed. "Nalani, you know me too well to even ask that." I said in a duh tone.

She went to her suitcase and pulled out a red cocktail dress and handed it to me. I was laughing uncontrollably, then came to a stop when I saw the stern look Mac and Nalani were giving me. "Oh come on! You don't really expect me to wear this right?" I said holding my stomach since it hurt so much from laughing. "Shut up and just wear it." Nalani said pushing me towards the bathroom. I grabbed my maxi dress and wore it. I did light makeup since I wasn't looking to impress anyone, plus I didn't plan on looking like a barbie-wanna-be. I wore a light gold shade of eyeshadow, contrasting with my black and white maxi dress, thin layer of winged out eyeliner, mascara, and two shades of a light red chapstick. I curled the ends of my naturally wavy hair and tossed it to give it a messy yet classy look.

Classy not trashy.

I came out of the bathroom flashing the girls both an innocent smile.

"You look gorgeous." Mac said hugging me, very tightly must I add.

"Maybe I would-stay this gorgeous-if you let me breathe." I said teasingly. While Nalani just stood there. Arm across chest and an eyebrow up. (You know that look you get when you do something wrong and your mothers staring you down? Yeah, that look.)

"Look I know you're mad, but please respect that I'm just not confident like you two." I said, with a slight pout at the end.

"I'm not mad idiot." Nalani said, her face softening a bit. "I just wish you were confident, after the weight los-" I cut Nalani off. The last thing I wanted to talk about was my weight loss. I turned my phone and it read 9:51 P.M. "Hey we better get going I said throwing on my overcoat and grabbing my clutch.

"Took ya long enough!" James said giving Mac and I a bear hug and then started to kiss Nalani.

"Sheesh get a room." I teased to James.

Then I felt an arm around my waist. "Why hello girlfriend." Kayden appeared with a smirk.

"I have a name." I growled pushing his hand off my waist. Then Mac gave me the look.

Ugh.

I knew what it meant. 'He won't think you really love him moron.' Reading Macs mind knowing her quite well.

I flashed him a smile to make up for pushing his arms off. His muscular arms if I may add.

"Well James, Mac, Matt, and I are gonna head to the dance floor! See ya there!" She said waving her arms as they all went. Kayden took my hand and I followed him to the bar. There were three seats open. Kayden sat in the middle one and I sat on the left of him, just then the same blonde from this morning came flashing me a devil smirk.

"Kaddie!" She squealed kissing him on the cheek and sat on the right of him.

Kaydens POV

Perfect the plan was set. Chelsea's here. Now I'm sure to see Dawn get jealous.

Chelsea sat next to me in the empty seat. I ordered both of them white wines. Chelsea had taken it. Shocker. *note sarcasm* While Dawn gave it back and ordered a Shirley Temple. I really have no idea why people even classify it as a 'drink' it's just fruit punch with a cherry. Chelsea was touching my hair and messing with my bow tie, I looked back to Dawn and she was on her phone? She was on her phone!

'Kaddie lets dance!" Chelsea squealed. "Later." I told her. "Earth to Dawn." I said waving my hands.

"Oh haha, sorry. I'm tired, I think I'll head back to my room now." She said getting up. I'm guessing playing hard to get. "Come with me." I took her by the wrist and took her away from all the loud noise.

"K-kayden what are you, why are we-" She brought up a load of questions.

"Shut up will ya?" I said smirking and taking a step closer to her. She took a step back. And we repeated this until she reached a wall. Her mood suddenly changed from scared to confident.

She put her arms around my neck pulling me closer to her. Once again.

Weird girl..

She tugged a few pieces of my hair, her hands traveled across my chest and then our lips just a few centimeters apart. I went in and-

THUD

"Ouch!" I said rubbing my forehead in pain. I saw Dawn chuckling out of the corner of my eye.

She came towards me once again and to my ear this time. She opened her mouth to say something.

"I don't kiss on the first date." She whispered to me giving me goosebumps. No girl ever gives me goosebumps anymore. And with that she walked away laughing, her loose curls bouncing.

Don't worry Dawn Andrews. I will steal your first kiss.
