Unexpected // Why Don't We

Chapter 26

Daniel's pov

Hayden had just left, and Zach and I were still the only people awake. I scrolled through my social media as I thought about what happened last night. Did Taylor even like me? She wouldn't have kissed me... or almost kissed me, if she didn't. What if she liked one of the other guys, though? After all, she did go to one of our concerts for all of us. Maybe she had a crush on one of them.

"You okay, Daniel?" Zach asked.

I looked up at him, and he looked concerned.

"Uh, yeah," I fake smiled.

"Something is clearly wrong," he narrowed his eyes.

"Let it go, Zach," I sighed.

"Okay, okay," he held his hands up in defense.

Hayden's pov

I got home and plopped down on the couch between Jonah and Eben. Eben was quick to put his arm around me.

"How was work?" he asked me.

"It was good I guess," I shrugged.

"Did something happen?" he furrowed his eyebrows.

"Not really. Just difficult customers," I sighed and closed my eyes, leaning my head on his shoulder.

"Can we do something?" Zach asked.

"Like what?" I sat up and looked at him.

"When Taylor gets home, we are going to take you two out for dinner," Corbyn told me.

"What?" I laughed.

"Don't try to protest because it's not going to work," Jack folded him arms and smiled.

"Now get up and go get ready. We already called Taylor's coach and told him that she needs to get off early. She'll be here soon," Eben said as he pushed me off the couch, so I was standing up.

"Dress nice," Jack winked.

I rolled my eyes and laughed as I went to my room. I took a shower and threw on a navy blue t-shirt with red Nike shorts. I blow dried my hair. I brushed it out, and it was still a little damp. I threw it up in a messy bun before doing my makeup: foundation, concealer, powder, mascara, natural eyeshadow, eyeliner, and eyebrows. I went back to my room and rummaged through my closet, trying to find a nice dress. I found a short, white, lace dress that was long sleeve. I went back to the bathroom and plugged up my hair straightener. I took my hair out of the messy bun and straightened and brushed it. I flipped the part to the other side, so it looked cute and slightly messy. I put in hoops for my first piercing and then kept my diamond studs in for my second piercing. There was a knock on my door.

"Who is it?" I yelled from the bathroom.

"Taylor," I heard the door open and shut quickly. "I had to sneak over here before the guys saw me, but I don't even think they are here. I didn't hear any talking."

I walked out of the bathroom, and Taylor was wearing the same dress as me except it was black. Her hair was curled, and it was super pretty especially since she had long hair.

"Okay, sexy," I laughed.

"You looking cute, too," she said before whistling.

"We didn't even plan this," I motioned to our dresses.

"It just happens," she shrugged. "Anyways, I need to borrow some shoes."

We walked out of my bathroom and into my room. We looked at the shoes that were lined up at he bottom of my closet. Most of them were sneakers or slides, but I did have some super nice high heels and wedges. She picked out a pair of black wedges, while I picked out a pair of white wedges that had lace as the straps. We looked at our selves in the mirror that hung on my wall.

"We look hot," Taylor said.

"What earrings do you have in?" I asked her.

She moved her hair behind her ear. She had in hoops for her first piercing, diamonds for her second piercing, and she had a diamond stud for her one cartilage piercing.

"Nice," I said as she gave me a high five.

There was a knock on the door.

"Are you ready?" I heard Eben's voice.

"Give is one more minute," I said.

We took cute pictures in the mirror for Taylor to put on her Snapchat and for me to put on my Instagram and Twitter. I grabbed my phone off of my bed, and Taylor checked her makeup one last time. We walked out of my room, and all the guys were sitting around the living room talking. They were all wear nice outfits. It was like we were going to prom sort of.

"Whoa," Jack looked over at us, and his jaw dropped.

All the guys turned to look at us. Taylor and I looked at each other and smiled.

"You two look amazing," Eben spoke up.

"Thanks," Taylor said shyly.

"I try," I shrugged.

"We don't want to be late," Zach said as they all stood up.

Jonah opened the door for us, and we walked outside. There was a limo waiting.

"No you did not," I gasped.

"Yes we did," Jack appeared next to me.

We walked to the limo, and Taylor and I got in first. Jack ended up beside me, and Daniel was next to Taylor. The guys got in after them.

"You didn't have to do all this," Taylor smiled.

"We know, but we wanted to," Jonah shrugged.

"Thanks, guys," I smiled.

"No problem," Corbyn laughed.

We talked the whole way to the restaurant. We arrived, and it was the fanciest restaurant in Miami. It was so expensive, and Taylor and I had always wanted to eat here. We just didn't have the money to.

"No way," Taylor looked out the window.

The guys all smirked at each other. These guys. They were too much.

"Ready?" Corbyn asked us as the limo parked.
