Jonah had pounded his hand on the steering wheel once again, as his phone lost service once again in the back roads of L.A. The two had gotten dressed up for a fancy gala being held in the outskirts of the city and had trying to drive there using maps for the past two hours. You turned your body to see Jonah frustratingly tapping away on his phone in attempt to fix the directions, countering the nice black suit he had on. Soon enough his phone had died, and he closed his eyes in defeat, resting his forehead on the steering wheel.

"I'm sorry." he admitted before finally lifting his head and gazing at you with a pitiful look.

"Jonah, there's nothing to be sorry about," You tried to console him and lift some of the guilt off his shoulders but his sloped shoulders had not moved an inch.

Your hand rested on his thigh, hoping for some response out of him.

"I'm sorry for insisting on driving, and thinking I could do it on my own, and for ruining tonight after seeing you get all excited and dressed up looking so amazingly beautiful in your dress and makeup,"

The dim lighting from the moon didn't stop you from seeing the look disappointment drowning his face.

"Jonah, you didn't mean it, it's okay, I promise" You pleaded towards him. "Lets just drive for a little bit okay?" Jonah only nodded in response, but you could still feel the tension radiating from his body making you feel guilty.

He lifted his body from his stable surface to shift the car into drive and slowly setting the car into motion. With the absence of street lights or any other cars, the only thing providing light was the bright moon and stars hanging above. You both sat in silence he used your presence to calm his senses.

Your eyes had began to fall shut, as the sound of the wind brushing against the car doors and the warmth of jona's hand in yours lulled you to sleep despite the uncomfortable fancy dress.

"Oh my god, oh my god, Y/N wake up wake up!" His repeated hitting on your leg to wake you up startled you. Sitting up and prying you thighs off the leather seats, you checked the clock to read "2:41AM", only to realise that there were street lights and stores passing in the windows.

"Oh my god Jo," your voice was deep in unimaginality. You might actually get to go home to a bed tonight.

All you could see was his bright smile turned towards you, eyes locked scanning your face in happiness. Jonah was truly dumb founded at how amazing you are.

The both of you were now making your way back to the apartment, smiles lying on both of your faces, when out of nowhere Jonah quickly flicks on his blinker and sharply turns into the empty walmart parking lot. Confusion flashed across your face as he pulled into the backlot away from the rest of the cars.

"What are we doing Jo?" Worry filled your body as he didn't respond.

Before you could realize what was happening he put the car in park, turned on the radio to the old jazz station and got out of the car. Confusion flashed over you as he came to your door side and opened the door for you.

"May i have this dance m'lady?" Jonah bowed and held out a hand, you feet drawn to his presence instantly.

As soon as you stepped down out of his car barefoot and onto the cold pavement, hands linked in his. His hands trailed their way to your waist as yours did to his neck, and soon enough you were slow dancing in the middle of the walmart parking lot. You hadn't cared about who was watching, or about what song was playing, except for how much you wanted this in your life. How much you wanted him in your life.

He held you close, pulling your head to his chest before whispering little things in your ear.

"This is my apology for tonight," He sent chills down your spine, despite the breeze that blew.

"You're forgiven." You giggled before responding. You didn't want to fight him on anything. You just wanted to accept how amazing he was. You were blown away at how much he could steal your heart away.
