Simple Connection

Chapter 14

*Last chapter used from my Instagram, they'll be better now I promise*

Hayes' POV

I woke up at my house the next day, it was a Monday. Dad reminded me, I have a lacrosse banquet Friday. I'm supposed to bring a plus one, normally I bring Keith , but he's playing this year.

I went over and knocked on Sydney's door, "Miss Sydney, how would you like to be my date to my lacrosse banquet on Friday night?"

I grabbed her hand as she curtsied, "Why of course Mr. Grier." We laughed.

"It's like a formal type thing. We've gotta dress up and stuff. Mom's already rented my tux."

She smirked, "You in a tux? Why I'm already excited."

Friday came along. I didn't have to do much to get ready, just fix my hair and put on my tux. I walked over to Sydney's, when I knocked on the door Kacey answered it.

"You can come in, she's still getting ready. She's been in there for hours, I think she's tried on 80 million dresses."

"Whoa! That many?!"

She laughed, "Yeah."

I was used to talking to little kids with Skylynn around.

I heard Sydney yell, "Coming!"

She walked out of her room upstairs, oh god she was gorgeous. She was wearing a long red dress with her hair curled and off to the side.

"Is it too much? I feel like its too much. I think I'm gonna go-"

I stopped her, "Sydney, you look perfect."

She did one of those cute smiles where she was looking down at the ground.

She came down the stairs and I stuck out my arm to escort her, "Shall we?"

"We shall."

We got in my dads car, "Oh so your the one Hayes has been talking all about. You know, when he was little he used to-"

"DAD, just drive..."

"Well okay... Benjamin."

"DAD!"

Sydney laughed, "Calm down Benjamin."

I smirked at her, "You're not funny."

Dad looked at us through the mirror, "Now Hayes, you're going to a formal, so you have to talk formal."

I looked at Sydney, "You're not funny, darling."

She smiled, "I'm give my apologies, my dear."

 I slipped my fingers into her hands. She looked at me, those green eyes could have been anyone else's, but they're mine. I just have to ask her to officially be my girlfriend tonight at the banquet.
