Forbidden Lovers

Chapter 12

Kirsty squealed and hugged me, and then Talia did the same. There was a knock on my door, and my knight in shining armour had arrived....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Skyla's POV

My palms were sweaty as I opened the door, to reveal a very handsome Daniel. His dark hair that was normally ruffled was now combed forward slightly, I wanted to run my hands through it. He was wearing a shirt, blazer and trousers with shoes so shiny I could see my reflection. He looked so gorgeous in a suit, I just wanted to eat him up. I looked into his eyes and was immediately lost in them. 

"M'lady," He said adorably, and then he held out a single red rose. I blushed at this and took it graciously.

"You are just too cute Daniel." We started to head downstairs, holding hands. Were they my sweaty hands or his? I didn't care. Talia shouted for us to have a good time, and I had a feeling that we would. 

Daniel held the door open for me, and then we left the house. We headed down to Craig's car  (he had somehow managed to replace it last week. I don't know why on earth Craig let him borrow it but hey) and he also opened the door for me there, swiftly closing it once I was in the passenger seat and then he walked around to the drivers seat. He started the car in silence, but not an awkward one. He pressed play on my CD player, and the album Red started to play. He watched me out of the corner with his eyes with a smirk on his face, as my face registered happiness and fangirling. 

"How did you...Daniel you are fucking amazing." I leaned my head back and closed my eyes, listening to the music and knowing every word.

"You're an amazing singer you know, you'd challenge Taylor." My eyes snap open, I'm blushing. I hadn't even realized I was singing. 

"Thanks." He looked at me and smiled, then his focus turned back to the road.

"No don't stop singing please, you have the voice of an angel." So I didn't, I sang for him.

"...This is the state of grace, this is the worthwhile fight, love is a ruthless game unless you play it good and right." I was blushing, slightly self-conscious as I didn't usually sing in front of people. I looked over at Daniel to see him with a big grin.

"Just promise me you won't stop singing until we leave?" I let him have that, he kept tapping on the steering wheel to the catchy tune of Red, the next song. I could definitely get him into Taylor, though he should have seen this coming. You don't enter a relationship with a Swiftie lightly. As I was singing, my mind drifted off. I was getting nervous over where he might be taking me, what we'd do. But as I looked over at my perfect boyfriend, I knew that no matter what we'd be doing, I'd love it. 

We'd been in the car for about half an hour, mostly on main roads and now we were on a country road, where were we going? 

I forgot about that whilst I was singing. The song ended, and it came onto my favourite song of all time, yet also the saddest. It brought back memories. The start of it was a sweet love story, Daniel kept smiling at cute references. Then the song went cold, and as I sang with Taylor (not literally, sadly) I felt the usual chill go up my spine, like he was there with me. I had to resist the urge to turn around and check. 

"So casually cruel in the name of being honest, I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here 'cause I remember it all, all, all too well. Time won't fly it's like I'm paralyzed by it I'd like to be my old self again but I'm still trying to find it.." The tears were threatening to fall and I got a tissue from my bag and wiped them gently, knowing that if my makeup got ruined Kylie and Talia would murder me. I was still singing, until the end of the song. Then he turned off the CD player, how long had we been stopped for? All I saw all around were trees, some weird car park this was. I was confused but I wasn't going to say anything. Daniel said nothing about my tears, tactfully. Before I knew it my door was being opened by him and he helped me out. We held hands as we walked along a gravel path,
