My Knight In Shining Leather

Chapter 13: Surprise Buttercup

I had a dream about Drake last night, we were sat in my bedroom on the floor just talking. Then we did some other stuff that I'm probably not allowed to reveal.

It felt so real. When I woke up and realized it was a dream I felt so empty. How can I have grown so attached to someone in such little time.

'Because you love him dumbass'

You know that annoying voice in the back of your head. Yeah that's her. Since last night she's become a lot more vocal.

I walked down the stairs muttering to myself. Nate looked at me with one eyebrow raised.

"You okay there?" He asked cautiously, obviously trying to figure out if I was still made about last night.

I was.

"Piss off arseface!" I flipped my middle finger at him and sat on the couch. I picked up my phone and noticed a text from Cole and one from Lucas. Still nothing from Drake.

I opened Cole's first.

From: Cole <3

Still sorry about last night xx

I smiled at my phone stupidly. What is he thinking? He doesn't have to apologise.

From: Steph

It takes two to tango xx

I tried to make it sound relaxed and not forced. I hope it worked.

I opened the one from Lucas and skimmed over it. There were a lot of 'baby's' and 'I miss you's. I did manage to get the important stuff out. He was telling me about our date. I felt like such a douche. I'd completely forgotten. I looked for a time.

'I'll pick you up at seven baby' I grimaced at the name. It sounded so cutesy. I hated it. Not that I'd tell him. I groaned at looked at the time. It was four in the afternoon. If I was speaking to Nate I would have killed him for allowing me to stay asleep so late, but I'm not. So I bit my tongue and went upstairs to have a shower.

Three hours, one shower and two Hollywood Undead albums later and I was searching through my wardrobe for something casual yet 'datey' to wear. So far nothing.

"I think I'm just going to wear jeans and a t shirt." I say out loud to my empty bedroom. I roll my eyes and get dressed. I had literally two minutes before Lucas was going to be here. I rushed into my bathroom and brushed my teeth and hair. Never know what might happen. I looked in the mirror and sighed. I definitely didn't look like a model. I rubbed my eyes and silently thanked that I didn't put make up on.

I waited on my bed until the door knocked downstairs and I sprinted down just in time to push my brother away.

"I'm going on a date." I grumbled at his accusing glare. I open the door and slam it shut, falling in to Lucas' arms.

"Sorry." I mumbled slightly and he just grins at me.

"It's fine. Are you ready? You look amazing by the way." He kept talking as he followed me to his car. We sat in partial silence. He would ask me something and I would grunt a response. I wasn't thinking about Drake at the moment. I felt like I couldn't think about anything.

I closed my eyes when he told me to, because he wanted where were going to be a surprise.

I leaned back in my chair and listened to the music playing softly in the background. Nothing I recognised, but still nice and relaxing.

The car stopped and the engine died. We were here. I heard Lucas slam his door and run round to me. He helped me out and covered my eyes with his hands.

"Tah" He said as he let go of my eyes.

"Dah." He said as I opened my eyes.

We... We were at the fair.

"How?" I couldn't even finish the sentence.

"How did you know?" I could feel a lump in my throat as my mouth hung open in awe.

"When we were like twelve, you said your best first date would be to go to the fair." He smiled sheepishly and scratched the back of his neck. He shrugged his shoulders like it was no big deal that he'd remembered that.

It was such a big deal. I threw my arms around him and dragged him in to the fair ground.

Now the fair might not seem like the best first date for everyone else, but I loved the fair. I used to go every weekend with Nate when I was little. It was the best place in the world. I just can't believe Lucas remembered that.

I pulled him to the lines for rides and to stalls with metal bottles and tin cans placed strategically on top of each other eager to be knocked over.

He had a good aim and he had already won me a tiger and big teddy. They were amazing and would fit in so well with my other teddy's. He even offered to carry them for me. He was being the perfect gentlemen. I had forgotten about Drake almost completely. I was really warming up to Lucas.

"Do you want a drink?" He whispered as we walked away from the stall where I got my tiger from.

"Sure." I whispered back to him. He picked up my teddy's and took them with him, leaving me in the middle of the fair ground, waiting, staring in awe still.

I walked around backwards for a little while until I made contact with someone. I feel to the ground with a thud.

I got up rubbing my bum, ready to apologise for not looking where I was going.

But then I stopped. No that's not powerful enough.

I froze.

"Drake." I half whispered not trusting my voice fully.

"Surprise buttercup." He smirked back at me.
