Falling for Him

Chapter 33

My heart beated fasted and faster while my mind raced and pounded, the pace quickening every second. Brandon's eyes were searching mine as if the answer to his question was buried somewhere inside me.

"Well...?" He asked worriedly as moments had passed and I still did not answer him.

"Yes." I confirmed.

"Really," I nodded and when I did his hands quickly wrapped around my waist, as he lifted me off the ground and spun me around gently.

I laughed and threw my head back as he continued then he carefully placed me unto the ground and brought his face inches from mine. Our noses touched and he tilted his head coming closer and closer until finally we were less than a millimeter away from each other. I felt as he drew in a breath and I closed my eyes.

"Brandon, you coming back to the table!" Jace shouted before barging into the room we were in.

'Slam' the door hit the wall and we both jerked back, embrassed. We hope Jace didn't see what we were about to do but from the mortified look on his face, we knew he did. Quickly, he placed both his hands on his eyes and said that he didn't see anything. I laughed and walked to him, I kneeled and pried his hands from over his eyes.

"Ok let's go," I said holding my hand out for him. He took it and I could feel his little fingers wrapping around mine. We walked a few steps then he stopped dead in his tracks.

"Did I interrupt you guys?" He questioned meekly.

"No you didn't," Brandon replied.

We walked down the stairs, and into the dining room and instantly, mom noticed the new piece of jewelry adorning my wrist.

"New watch?" She asked.

"Yea, I... Umm... Brandon... Umm..." I stuttered.

"I asked her to be my girlfriend," he finished.

Everyone at the table looked surprise and in awe except for Brandon's mom, Bethany, but she and everyone else was happy about the news. Mom winked at me and Nikki smiled proudly, even Jace had the biggest grin on his tiny face. 

"Does that mean you would be here often?" Jace asked bouncing up and down in his seat.

"I don't know Jace," he pouted,"But I can try," at the sound of that his smile returned.

We continued eating and just before we left, Brandon kissed my cheek. Walking down the stairs, I touched my cheek absent mindedly and it was as if I could feel his soft lips there again. I blushed a little and mom seemed to be happy since she teased me by telling me that I had a boyfriend. At the sound of that, I blushed even more profusely and smiled.

Just as I arrived home, I received a text from Brandon.

Brandon-' Hey Belle, sweet dreams.'

Belle-' Thanks. I have a question though,'

Brandon-' Yea...?'

Belle-' Why were you always asking me to be your girlfriend?'

Brandon-'Tell you in school :p'

That night, I laid in bed tossing and turning as I pondered this question. I mean, I thought that it was very strange that he asked me the same question that many times, why would he want me to be his girlfriend so badly?

---------------------------------❤----------------------------

The following day at school, posters and banners about the Winter Wonderland Dance was plastered all over the school. The dance was exclusive for seniors and since I began to attend St Castelle's I always wanted to attend. It was one of the most elaborate of dances and our school spent a lot of money on it every year. Being held in the most exquisite ballrooms in New York it was customary for all who were attending to wear fancy dresses and tuxes, at least that's what we heard. The dance was usually held the week before Christmas and now it was just about two till Christmas and one for the dance. Frankly, I was surprised that they were now putting up posters since in previous years they went up at least one month before the dance.

The first person I saw while entering was Nate and he and Mary we deep in conversation. He looked at me and smiled before coming over to say hello.

"So did you asked her as yet?" I asked curiously.

"No, I was going to tonight. Did anyone ask you?" He asked.

"No,"

He seemed lost in thought and then continued," What about Brandon, didn't you tell me he wanted to talk to you?"

"Yea but he asked me a different question," I blushed slightly.

"What did he ask?" He said excited.

"If I wanted to be his girlfriend," he smiled.

"But I thought you already were?" Nate asked confused.

"I guess he made it official, at least that's what Jasmine and Mary told me," I held up my hand and he stared speechless at the sliver watch that lay there.

"That's cool, but they knew before me?" He pouted.

"I wanted to tell you in person." I said giving him a hug.

"Well that means you don't have to worry about a ticket," I looked at him confused and he continued," Isn't it obvious! He's going to ask you."

At the sound of that, a smile crept its way to my face and remained there. "Speaking of which," Nate pointed to Brandon," I should go and leave you two love birds alone."

Hey guys. Happy new year!!!!!

Thanks for all you have done for me and I deeply appreciate it all. :)

Can I give you some advice?

Don't fall for a guy you think it may be impossible to be with since, when you find out they are in a relationship, its like someone ripped out you heart and stabbed it repeatedly. 

Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter and I'm sorry for not updating this sooner.

Love you guys :) =) :*
