Behind The Cameras (Datalie fanfiction)

Chapter Fifteen

David's P.O.V

It was about 11 pm by now. Natalie and I were sitting on her front porch. She had her head on my shoulder, and our hands were intertwined. We were both looking up at the stars. It was perfect.

Even though it has been almost an hour since we kissed, my heart was still beating so fast. I couldn't believe that it happened. What I have been dreaming of for almost 10 years had finally came true. And I was right when I assumed that her lips would be as soft as her hands, even softer if that was possible.

"Let's go," I said without any context after a while of comfortable silence.

Nat lifted her head up and looked at me. Her cheeks were slightly red due to the chill wind that was blowing in our way, but she looked beautiful.

"Go where?" She asked, evidently confused.

I slightly shook my head, "I don't know, maybe a date?"

"Dave, it's 11 pm."

"So?" I replied with a cheeky grin as I looked into her eyes. I couldn't remove the smile of my face and it only grew more because our conversation reminded me of the one we had a few days back home when I tried convincing her to watch a movie real late at night.

"What a valid point," She teased and I laughed.

I got up and grabbed her hand, and trying to pull her up with me.

"David, are you on crack?" She fought trying to stay seated.

Her saying that only made my laugh increase. She reminded me of myself sometimes.

"Yes." I replied, finally managing to pull her up.

She let go of my hand, "People are usually informed about dates a while before so they can look a bit, I don't know, not dead?" She protested, pointing at her outfit, and then her hair.

She was wearing a hoodie, as usual, and her hair was up in a messy bun. A really, really messy bun.

"What are you talking about? You look beautiful."

"David, I will screw you," She threatened.

I laughed again, "Wait for after the date, won't you?"

She turned red, literally. And I sent her a wink which made her blush even more. She pushed my face to the other side and walked away from me, "Fuck it, fine I'll come, just let me change my outfit first."

I mentally thanked god for her agreeing. I ran up to her and grabbed her by the waist and started to pull her towards the car, my dads car to be precise, but fuck it he wouldn't mind.

"Dave!" She shrieked in amusement, "Let me go change!"

"There's no time for that, besides people dress up on dates so that their date thinks they look good. I already think you look good so we've accomplished that."

She gave in and willingly got inside the car. I shut her door and got in the drivers seat. When I was in, I texted my dad not to worry about the car and that it isn't stolen, then I looked at Nat.

"Ready?"

She playfully rolled her eyes, "Just drive."

Natalie's P.O.V

My dreams? True.
My heart? Melted.
My nerves? Gone.
My stomach? Butterflied.
My soul? Redeemed.

Honestly, even while driving around with Dave in his dad's car, I will still unsure on whether I was asleep and dreaming or not.

I've learned my lesson, I guess. From now on, I shall never assume anything no matter how logical it may look unless I had 100% of it.

I caused my heart to break all because I misunderstood something.

I was still shocked though. David loves me. He fucking loves me. His heart beats for me the same way my heart beats for him. I thought that was only possible in books and movies, but fucking hell I stood corrected.

This felt like a movie anyways. It was exactly how they describe it in books. It felt like heaven. Holding David's hand felt like heaven, and if holding his hand felt like that then wait till I tell you about how kissing him felt like.

David parked the car outside of an arcade. He looked at me and gave me a soft smile that I gladly returned, "We had lots of fun back when we did the midnight merch photoshoot with fanjoy, so I thought that it would be even better if we came alone."

I nodded, "I love that," I honestly said, before Dave walked over to my side and opened the car door for me like the gentleman he is.

I thanked him, and he just softly kissed my cheek. Fuck it there is that blush again. I blushed so much around David, it was probably unhealthy.

David took my hand and we walked together into the arcade.

This was probably the best night of my life.

After the arcade, Dave took us to a fast food restaurant that stays open for 24 hours. We ordered take away sandwiches and we ate them as we walked in the park. After eating we laid down on the grass and watched the stars as we talked about all sorts of stuff.

That night, I stayed up till the sun rose in my bed, the smile never leaving my face. I decided to go back home with David and Jason the day after since they already had a flight booked for the three of us. The confidence they had to book me a ticket even before knowing if I was going to come along or not.

Telling Jason about our relationship status was the best part of the whole thing. He was excited even more than Dave and I combined. He literally shed a few tears, no lie there.

We went back home. I was on top of the world with David. He made me feel things that I have never felt with anyone else. He made me the happiest I've ever been, the safest I've ever been, and the most comfortable I've ever been.

The fans were going crazy because David was gone for two days without any instagram stories, and with no new vlogs. So him and I got ready to surprise them with a video that most of them had been waiting for.

We first told almost all of Dave's friends, and they were all super happy and supportive. Especially Corinna now that her chances of a threesome had grew.

We even told Liza. She seemed upset at first but then she told us that she's happy for us. It actually surprised me but I was more than happy because of it.

Me and Dave went on a second date after filming a confession video, where he gave me the dress I tried on back in Chicago. You know, the one I thought he had bought for Liza. He told me I looked perfect in it, like it was made for me, and these words haven't left my head ever since they came out of his mouth.

It was 8 pm, and the entire vlog squad was present in our living room as David posted the confession video.

A video that wasn't 4 minutes and 20 seconds long.

A video that made the fandom go crazy.

A video that was titled,

'Falling for my childhood best friend (not clickbait)'.
