Smile For Me || Connor Ball

Chapter 3; date night

Lucy's p.o.v

*************************************

So much had happened in the past day I had to take the time out to sit and think about everything. I'd gone from having a crush on my best friends band mate to actually going out with him, all the way to telling him about my past. I didn't mind Connor knowing as we were already close before, I trust him. I got out of bed to check my phone, and Id got one message from Con

*morning Luce! I hope you slept well, I'm picking you up at 7 and we're going on a date so be ready!xx*

I replied pretty much straight away once everything had sunk in

*morning Con! Not too bad actually haha, aw okay see you later!xx*

I went down stairs and sat beside James on the sofa, I'll be honest he didn't look to good.

"James? Are you okay?" I asked him and his head went down "James you're worrying me what's happened?! Is it Tash? Has she hurt you, I swear if she's hurt y" I was cut off.

"Luce it's not Tash don't be ridiculous, when we got back last night I cooked some chicken, I was tired and I don't think I cooked it properly because all morning I've been wanting to throw up" he replied before he got up and ran in to the bathroom. I ran after him and sat beside him rubbing his back, but it didn't take long before I had to leave or I would have thrown up too.

"How're you feeling now?" I asked him

"Bit better I guess, um Luce why did you think something had happened with me and Tash?" he looked worried so I smiled to reassure him it was nothing bad, "I was just worried about you okay, I love Tash she's great and she makes you happy, which is why I was concerned as to why you looked I down, but as long as you're okay it doesn't matter, oh and you can have her round later if you're up to it, Con's taking me out" he wiggled his eyebrows at me and I slapped him on his arm

"James no, just no ok" I folded my arms as an act to pretend to be angry but it didn't work.

"What's wrong with Davey? Ey look at me when I'm speaking to you, what you trying to say about my baby Con?" I looked at him and burst out laughing.

"We're going out, that means OUT! There is nothing wrong with Con, he's perfect, but we've been going out for a day, a day James, no" he carried on to wiggle his eyebrows at him so I decided to play his own game.

"So you're having Tash round later ey?" I wiggled my eyebrows back and he soon stopped meaning I'd won.

"Fuck off Lucy, fine you win" he frowned and got up.

"HA!" I yelled in his face and I knew straight away I'd made a mistake. He ran after me tickling me until I realised i'd fallen asleep in the middle of the floor and it was 6.

"Shit! James are you in?!" I got up and to his room, he was asleep. Great, I got in the shower and the water was freezing which means James has already been in and left me no water. I got out, dried my hair and pulled my dressing gown on once again checking James' room to see if he'd woken up, he hadn't so I went back in to my room and decided what to wear, it wasn't cold out so I went with a black skater dress with my white converse and leather jacket, I curled my hair so that it was wavy but not over the top, I did my make up lightly, foundation, mascara and a pink lipstick. I looked at my phone to see it had just gone seven so I went in to James' room and left him a note and then Con knocked at the door, I felt my self heat up and I quickly fanned my self before answering the door.

"You look gorgeous" Con looked me up and down then kissed me

"You look good too" I giggled returning into the kiss "so where are we going?"

He winked at me and I literally melted, he took my Hand as we walked down the road, we were 17/18 but neither of us could drive.

We arrived at the park and it was set up with little candles and a picnic basket, he turned to me and smiled, I gripped his hand as we made our way to the blanket set up on the grass, we sat down and Connor opened the picnic basket, I couldn't help but laugh, pizza and chips.

"Look I know it's not romantic but I wanted to be alone with you, don't get me wrong I love the fans but not when I'm out with my girlfriend" I honestly couldn't care less weather it was romantic or not, I was just great full to be with him.

"Don't worry about it, as long as I'm with you I couldn't care less where we go, and I don't mean that in a bad way, I'm just lucky to be with you" I smiled but felt my self blushing.

We finished eating and talked for ages, he told me some stuff about the band which I already knew from James but I just pretended I didn't, his voice mesmerised me and I just sat staring

"What you looking at Luce?" Con laughed at me.

"Oh my god haha, um I was looking at you" I blushed, once again and he laughed once again.

"Aw what why?" Jesus Christ

"I don't know, oh my god, you're perfect, there I said it, I can't stop staring at you because I can't believe I'm with you, happy now?" I hid my face in my hands and regretted everything I just said.

"Luce, don't hide you're face, you're perfect too you know?" He took my hands from my face and I just sat there and blushed. Con patted the blanket next to him ushering me to sit next to him so I did, he took my hand and started playing with my fingers.

"Everything's going to be ok, I'm never going to leave you" Connors perfect, that's all I could think, no not just his face, even though that's pretty good, but he's the most amazing person ever, he's the best friend and boyfriend I could ask for.

"Con" I looked down at our hands "thank you, I lo.. thanks" I did love Connor, but I didn't want him to think I was despereate by telling him after a day, but he took my chin and lifted my head up so I was looking in his eyes and he kissed me, pulling out of the kiss he looked at me

"I love you " i was genuinly shocked he wrapped his arms round my waist and we got up.

The walk back to Con's wasn't far, he'd just moved in to the town so he was closer to the rest of the band, and our houses we're about 10 minutes apart so we were pretty much always close. He'd asked me if I wanted to stop the night and because I figured Tash would be at ours I said yes. As we got there he lead me straight up stairs and I realised I had nothing to sleep in.

"Con, I've got nothing to sleep in" I laughed and he took his top off and threw it me.

"Wear this, it's all I've got here at the minute that you can use"

I went it to the bath room to get changed and took my make up off, and when I got back Con was already in bed so I slid in with him. He wrapped his arms round me and pulled me close, I turned round to kiss his cheek and whispered to him

"Thank you for a great night" he didn't say anything but he nuzzled his face in to my neck and I felt him smile.

I could slowly feel my self drifting off and soon enough I was asleep.
