Shuck Face (A Dylan O'Brien Story)

Chapter 16

We drove to the Loews, mine and Hartley's new home for the rest of our visit. I asked the woman at the front desk if Mike had dropped off our bags. She confirmed he did and gave us our keys. Funny enough, our room is right in the middle of Thomas' and Dylan's room.

"How convenient that we are in between ya'lls rooms."

Dylan and Thomas smirked at each other and then turned to us and simply shrugged. They turned around and headed for the elevator, clearly evading our remark.

"So I figured it's 6:15 now. We can change and what not and then head to the French Quarter... say 7:30?"

Dylan looked to the three of us for confirmation that this was okay.

I shrugged. "Fine with me. It shouldn't take me long to get ready. Hart is the one you have to worry about."

She punched me in the arm but just shrugged when the guys looked at her. When the elevator reached our floor, we headed to our rooms. Dylan grabbed my waist and turned me around before I walked inside.

"You look beautiful. Don't change your hair tonight. Please?"

Smiling, I placed a quick kiss on his lips.

"I like my hair like this, so no worries. I'm just gonna change my outfit and I'll be done."

He nodded and kissed me before finally letting me go. "Come over to my room if you get finished early."

Hart was unpacking her bags when I walked in.

"What are you wearing tonight?"

She flung her hands up in frustration.

"I don't fucking know. Thomas wants me to wear my glasses, but I feel like such a nerd. I definitely gotta change my hair though."

I sat down on the bed and laughed. "You look great with them. But you won't have to worry about looking nerdy alone. I won't have my contacts until Thursday so I will be wearing mine too."

I pulled out my clothes and decided on a pair of purple skinny jeans, black boots, and a white flowy sweater. After I finished dressing, I walked into the bathroom and pulled the pins out of my hair and shook my head, allowing the curls to fall a bit and look cute but messy.

"You look cute. What do you think about this?"

I looked up when I stepped back into the room and assessed Hart's outfit. She was wearing light blue skinny jeans, black booties and a long grey sweater.

"That looks really cute!"

She ran her hands over her shirt. "It's not too dark?"

I shook my head and sat down on the bed. "Not at all. You look amazing."

She smiled as she walked past me into the bathroom. "What time is it?"

I looked over at the clock on the nightstand. "7. Dylan said to go into his room if I get done early. You can come with. Maybe Thomas is in there."

Hartley ran a brush through her hair, deciding to leave it wavy this time. Once she was finished she walked out and grabbed her purse, handing me mine.

"Yeah, sure why not? I'm ready."

We walked next door to Dylan's room and knocked. When he opened the door, I almost fell out. He was wearing black jeans, a grey button up, and glasses. I knew he wore glasses but he hasn't worn them since I met him, so I completely forgot. He opened the door further, allowing us to come in, and revealed Thomas, who I think almost made Hartley fall out this time. He was wearing a black sweater, light blue jeans, AND glasses.

"Wow, looks like we all get to look nerdy tonight."

I smirked at Hartley who was still staring at Thomas in disbelief. I nudged into her to break her trance.

"Uh yeah." She coughed. "I didn't realize you wore glasses, Thomas."

He laughed. "I generally don't. But I could tell you were hesitant about wearing yours, so I decided to put mine on. Apparently Dylan had the same idea."

As if on cue, Dylan walked over and wrapped his arms around my waist. "You look breathtaking, Charleston Sutton."

My lips curled up in a smile. "So do you, Dylan O'Brien. Seriously, you almost made me fall over when you opened that door."

His head turned down like he was embarrassed. "You make me blush, Charlie."

This made me smile even wider. "The feeling is mutual, Dyl."

Once we got to the French Quarter and tucked Dylan's jeep away in the parking garage, we went our separate ways. I was starving, what's new, so Dylan and I immediately set off to eat. Our dining of choice was a place called Sylvain's. This place... is... AMAZING. Such a beautiful atmosphere. The food, oh my god it was heavenly. I had the Pappardelle Bolognese and Dylan got the Sylvain Burger (don't ask me why he took me to such a nice place just to get a burger). For dessert we both ate the Chocolate Pot de Cream. I don't eat chocolate often, but I would if I had access to this all the time. Our waiter wasn't surprised to see Dylan there. He told us Sylvain's was a big gathering place for Celebrities in New Orleans. We actually saw Mark Harmon there. I fangirled, I won't lie. Mark Harmon is a god. I'm a HUGE NCIS fan.
