Goodbye for now || n.h

Chapter 8

Like I wrote in the description, this fanfiction is based on a song! Can you guess which one it is? And it's not one of One Direction's songs, or any of the songs they've released as solo artists. Try and guess it throughout the story :)

The last couple of weeks have been amazing. I never thought that Dakota Jones would be my date for senior prom. I never thought she'd be my date to anything.

During high school you will either fall in love several times, or be secretly in love with the same girl for four years. From watching her enter the school every morning for the past four years, to be standing outside her house, picking her up for prom.

I'm literally the luckiest guy in the world and thinking about losing her scares the hell out of me. I know we haven't been dating for so long, but I just don't want her to start dating someone else, like Tyson for example. He's still going after her even though Dakota and I have started showing off our little relationship more and more in the hallways.

Another thing that scares me right now is the 'I love you' part. It's going to happen sooner or later. Lately I've been thinking about that quite often. I mean I think I love her, even though it's only been a couple of weeks. It's early, I know. But I'm not sure yet. And I'm not going to tell her until I'm absolutely, completely, 100 % sure I do.

I knocked on her front door, feeling my heart beating fast. Whenever I'm about to meet her, the butterflies in my stomach come to life and my heart skips a beat when I see her. I don't think I'll ever stop admiring her.

Her mother Veronica opened the door, and she invited me in. Dakota stepped out from the office right next to the hall and once again, my heart skipped a beat.

She wore this amazing, dark blue dress. Her hair was lightly curly, hanging down over her chest and shoulders and her eyes were glowing more than ever. She had small silver flowers in her hair and her make up was perfect.

"Breathtaking, am I right?" Her dad proudly said as he stepped out in the hall as well.

"Dad." She giggled, immediately blushing.

"No, he's right." I said. "You're beautiful."

"You're not so bad yourself." She told me and finally walked over to me.

We kissed for a few seconds, ignoring that her parents were standing right next to us.

"You even have the exact same colour on your tie as my dress." She said. "And let's not talk about how good you look in a suit."

I laughed a bit and placed my hand on her waist, knowing that her mum wanted to take pictures. We did a couple of poses, before I said we needed to get going. But Dakota had other plans. She placed both of her hands on my neck, and I knew right away what she had in mind. I gently gripped onto her hips and leaned down to kiss her. Obviously her mum knew what her daughter wanted, and I heard the click from the camera. Then we pulled away and I opened the door.

"Dad, would you grab me my purse?"

As soon as she had it, she opened it and pulled out some lip-gloss. She applied it before putting it back into her little black purse.

"I think it will be necessary tonight. Just saying." She grinned up at me.

"Good choice." I grinned back and we left her house.

A few hours later we sat by our table. Sebastian and his date Danielle were here as well, and Zach had asked one of Dakota's close friends Bella to prom. It was nice having my friends at the same table and it was such a relief that everyone got along.
