Love Triangle

Chapter 17

           

"Wake up!" Quentin shook me. "What do you want?" I groaned. "We are going somewhere. You can sleep in the car," he laughed. "Whatever. Let me get ready," I rolled my eyes. "Here. I picked out an outfit for you," he threw clothes on me. "You picked out an outfit for me?" I questioned. He nodded and I shrugged. "Whatever," I said as I went into the bathroom and looked at the outfit he picked. "Here," Quentin said opening the door. "What?" I asked. "Curl your hair," he handed me a curling iron. I furrowed my brows and did what he said. When I was done, I walked out of the bathroom and looked into the full body mirror. I was wearing black ripped jeans, a maroon crop top, a military green cardigan, and heel boots that tied. "Okay are you-oh. You look good," he nodded. I looked at him and laughed. "I have to say, you did pretty good," I laughed and grabbed my phone off the charge. "I know. Now get in the car," He pushed me out of his room. I jumped into the JEEP and we stopped at McDonalds. "Gum," he said not taking his eyes off the road. I got him some gum out of the center console and got me a piece too. "Where are we going? We've been driving for an hour already," I groaned. "Just sit and relax," he hushed me. I rolled my eyes and turned the music up.

Dylan Mitchell's POV

I was scrolling through my snapchat and I clicked on Quentin's name. It was a video of him screaming "Guess who is back in Kansas!" I looked at Lindsey and smiled. She was more beautiful than I remembered. I decided to drive all the way up to the cabin and decorate it. I put roses all over the floor and made it lead the bedroom. After I finished putting all the roses out, I thought it had a "we're on our honeymoon" vibe, so I cleaned them all up. And then I thought the place was too plain, so I put the roses out again. I needed this to be perfect. This might be the only time I really see her again if all goes bad. After a full day of making the place perfect, I fell asleep in a separate bedroom being careful not to mess up the flowers.

I woke up and checked my phone.

From: Q

We are leaving at 10. Be there at 12-12:30.

To: Q

I'm nervous.

From: Q

Don't be. Everything will be alright bro.

I got out of bed and decided to get ready before they showed up. I put on my red reckless shirt, black joggers, white shoes, and a red hat. I'm so beyond nervous to see her again. I went into the master bedroom to make sure all my flowers look how they should. I nodded to myself and waited for Quentin to text me that they were here.

Lindsey's POV

I screamed the lyrics to some of my favorite songs on this long ride. "Are we there yet?" I groaned. "Hmm, 10 minutes," Quentin picked up his phone. Quentin was on his phone for a few minutes and I assumed he was texting someone, so I opened my Instagram and started going through my feed.

"Okay so I'm going to have to blind you and film at the same time," Quentin said pulling over on the side of the road. "What? Why am I being blinded?" I panicked. "Calm down. It's a fun surprise," He laughed and looked at the camera weird. "Why do you have to film?" I asked as he opened the passenger's side door. "For my entertainment," he wiggled his brows. "This isn't going on YouTube?" I furrowed my brows. "I don't know yet," he shrugged and grabbed a bandana. He tied the bandana over my eyes and got back into the car. "Okay, so Lindsey is blindfolded now," He talked to the camera. I stuck up the middle finger and he laughed hysterically. "What?" I shouted. "I'm over here dummy," he grabbed my hand. I laughed covered the rest of my face with my hands. "And we are here. I'll help you out of the car," he closed his door and opened mine. "Take off the blindfold in 3, 2, 1," he yelled. I took it off and he was standing in front of me with the camera. "This is a cabin," I said. "Oh gee really? I didn't notice," he rolled his eyes and turned the camera to the cabin. "Come on," he put his hand out and I grabbed it. He opened the door and filmed my reaction. There were roses everywhere on the floor and it looked like lead to a room. "Quentin, are you trying to seduce me?" I asked weirdly. "No!" He laughed and tried to keep the camera steady. "Well wtf is all this for?" I laughed. "Just follow the damn roses," he pointed. I followed them and it led to big door. I turned to look at Quentin and he gestured for me to open it. I opened the door and saw a huge bed with rose petals in the shape of a heart. "Are you sure you aren't trying to seduce me?" I asked him. He walked to the side of the bed with the camera pointed at me. "Yeah. Well if you're down," he shrugged. "I'm not," I laughed and so did he. "I'm confused," I said. "Turn around," Quentin smiled really wide. I slowly turned around and Dylan came out from the bathroom. "What's going on?" I choked. Quentin ran to the other side of the bed and recorded my face. "Lindsey," Dylan said walking closer to me. "Dylan, what is all of this?" I stepped back. "Please don't be scared of me," he whispered. "I'm not scared," I felt the tears in my eyes. "I have loved you since the day I saw you Lindsey. You are the best thing that ever happened to me and I can't believe I let you go. I know that you didn't want to kiss Tanner and I should've believed you when you told me that. I was just so upset because from the beginning I didn't think you would pick me. I always thought you would've picked Quentin or Tanner, but for whatever reason you picked me. And every damn moment I spent with you I fell more and more in love with you. I'm so deeply in love with you that it hurts when you aren't with me. Not touching you or seeing you for so long gives me physical pain and I don't ever want to feel that way again. I will completely understand if you don't want to be with me again because I was an ass that day, but please Lindsey. Just remember that I am, and always will be, head over heels in love with you," Dylan explained and I saw tears in his eyes. All three of us stood in silence for a couple minutes. "Linds," Dylan started. I ran over and gave him a huge hug. He hesitated for a second, but then he hugged me tightly. "I'm so sorry," I whispered into his shoulder. "Don't apologize," he kissed my neck. "Aww," Quentin gushed. Dylan and I pulled apart and looked at him. "Sorry," Quentin said. We laughed and I hugged Dylan again. "We have this place until Monday. Do you want to stay with me?" Dylan looked down at me. "I would love to. Oh but I forgot my suitcase and the ride here was like two hours," I sighed. "Your suitcase is in my car," Quentin said turning the camera off. "Omg I love you," I smiled. "Is this why you called me and told me to come?" I said realizing everything. "Yeah. Dylan came over on Saturday and told me he needed to get you back, so we set this whole thing up," Quentin explained. I looked at Dylan and he smiled. "You guys are the best," I hugged them both. "Okay kiddos. I'm gonna get going. Let you two have your privacy. Be careful guys," He warned us. "Shut up Quentin," Dylan rolled his eyes. "We will," I smiled. "Oh," Dylan's eyes widened. "Gross," Quentin nodded. We laughed and I hugged Quentin. "Thank you for everything. You're the best," I smiled and kissed his cheek. Dylan and I watched Quentin drive off and we walked back into the bedroom. Dylan sat on the bed and I sat next to him. "Lindsey," he put his hand on my knee. I put my hand on his cheek and kissed him. He leaned in more and he put his hand on my hip and on the bed to steady himself. "I missed you," he pulled away. "Trust me, I missed you more," I grinned and kissed him again.

Dylan and I sat under the covers. "Where did you go?" He asked turning his head. "California. I'm living at Tanner Fox's," I told him. "Are you coming back?" He sighed. "I don't know yet," I bit my lip. "Please," he turned his body and put his hand on the small of my back."Soon. I have to get all my stuff from Tanner's," I informed him. "Can I say something?" He pulled me closer."I knew where you were," Dylan said. He slipped his hand under the blankets and his touch gave me shivers. "Okay," I nodded. "I watched all the videos. I saw every single video that Tanner and Jake posted," Dylan confessed. "Oh," I said realizing. "You and Jake?" He bit his lip. "I don't know Dylan. It's so hard," I used my thumb to stroke his cheek. "I understand," He looked at me knowingly. "Lindsey," he whispered my name. "Yes?" I questioned. "My surgery is on Thursday," he blinked slowly. "I'll be there," I put my hand on his bicep. He smiled and we sat in bed for the next few hours.

I opened my eyes and looked around. Dylan was nowhere to be found. I got out of the bed and threw on Dylan's shirt over my compression shorts and bra. I walked out of the room and smelled food. When I turned the corner I saw Dylan in the kitchen. I bit my lip and smiled widely. "Smells good," I smirked and walked out from behind the corner. "Hey! You scared me," he laughed. I walked into the kitchen and looked at what he was cooking. "A chef I see?" I wiggled my eyebrows. He smiled and put his hands on the sides of my stomach. "Only for you," he pulled me closer and I laughed. "You look good in my shirt by the way," he winked as I walked to the island. I sat on one of the stools and looked at my phone notifications.

*Text from Tan the Man* *3 messages from Lil Fox* *Text from Dylan Hawkins*

I looked at all of my messages and told Tanner B I would come visit when I get back in Augusta. Dylan set a plate of food in front of me and smiled at me. He sat on the opposite side of me with his food and I took my phone out. After eating food we went outside and sat on the deck
