Chapter 11 - Together?

*Aaron

I was missing the feeling of her soft lips against mine. I was falling for her, and I was falling HARD. I was dreading having to wait for the last period of school to end. I was in a different room to November. I wanted to see her face, badly. We're not even a couple and yet all I wanna do when I see her is hold her in my arms. It was difficult being without her. It felt like as if she was THE ONE. But...the sad thing is, I haven't told her about the bet. The longer I keep holding on to the lie, the more it is going to hurt her in the future. But I can't tell her! I just kissed her a few hours ago! If I tell her, she'll hate me and will never be able to forgive me or want to see my face! This is sooo complicating! I think I'm going to tell the guys that the bet's off. And they have to swear not to tell anyone! Class ended. But instead of seeing November first, I pulled Kevin and Daniel behind the science block, where nobody would hear us. "Guys. I need to tell you something about the bet. I want to-" Kevin cut me off before I could answer. "Congrats dude! Everyone's been talking 'bout your smooching with November early this morning! You're on your way to success!"

Daniel nodded, smiling at the same time. "Yeah. Man, three hundred dollars is on its way..to being in your pocket!" Daniel high-fived Kevin. "No guys. I need to tell you something first." I sighed, then continued, "I want to drop the bet." They started laughing loudly and wrapping their own waists. "I'm serious. The kiss, it was REAL. I really like her and I actually want to be with her! For real." There was a moment of silence. After a few seconds of waiting for their reactions, Daniel walked up to me and slapped my shoulder lightly. "You really do like her?" He asked me. I nodded. Kevin walked up and stood next to Daniel. "We support you in this bro. We won't tell her, if that's what you're worried about." I was confused. "You guys are really down with this?" I asked, wondering when they were going to belt out laughing. "Yeah man." Daniel said.

I saw something in the window of the science room, something like a video camera. I pushed Daniel and Kevin out of the way and started chasing after it. I saw it turn off and saw the person holding it run. There was a wall making it unable for me to see where he or she went. I turned around the corner expecting to see the colporate. But instead I saw a crowd of students grouped together. I was looking around for whoever it was. Kevin and Daniel caught up to me a few seconds later, out of breath. "Dude. What's wrong?" Kevin asked me. ... "Someone just made a video of us talking about the bet."
I replied. "So, wait? If that person has the video..then, they'll be able to show November?" I nodded.

*November

School had ended a couple of minutes earlier. I wanted to see Aaron. I started to search for him and saw him around the corner of the science block. I quickly walked towards him. "Hi." I said. He didn't reply, instead he was looking in the crowd for someone. I saw Daniel and Kevin behind him. "Aaron?" I asked for his attention. He turned and faced me. "Oh,hi." He finally spoke. "What's wrong?" I asked with concern. I saw him pass a quick, but worried glance at Kevin and Daniel. "Nothing. Let's get of here. I'll see you two later." He said to me, then the boys. "Bye guys!" I said politely whilst smiling. "Later November." They both said at the same time.

Aaron and I were walking towards his car. "Can I drop you off at your home?" He asked in a gentlemen-ish way. "That would be great thanks. I don't have a ride anyway. I caught the taxi this morning. He looked at me strangely. "Why didn't you come with Razelle?" he asked. "I was in a rush to see...you." I replied. We started laughing. After our quick laugh, he came around to my side and opened the car door for me. "Your ride awaits you ma'am." I flashed a smile and got inside of the car.

We started talking, before I realized that we were in a place I hadn't seen before. I sat up straight, looking outside the windshield. "My house isn't near here, I don't think." I told him. "I know." He said while giving me a gorgeous smirk. I couldn't stop staring at his handsomeness..I snapped out of it. "So where are we going?" I asked, trying to focus. I knew it wasn't working. "We're nearly there."
He replied. He was so damn cute! We pulled over at a beautiful beach. We didn't get out immediately. We sat there in silence, waiting for something to happen. "I brought you here...to ask you whether.." He started to hesitate. "What? You can tell me." I tried to make him continue. "Whether..you wanted to go out for dinner with me. Tonight."
I swear, my heart skipped a beat. Now, it was my turn to hesitate. "Yes." I couldn't believe that word just hopped out of my mouth! "Really?" He asked, surprised. Hey, Aaron. You're not the only surprised one! "Yeah. Really." I saw him smile widely and I couldn't help but join in.

*Aaron

I dropped her off at her home after her saying that she'll go with me to dinner. She said to me that I had to get Razelle's approval first. So I entered her house with her. "November! Is that you?" I heard Razelle call out to her. "Yeah it is. And a close friend of mine is here too." There was a moment of silence. I saw Razelle come out of the lounge room. November was the spitting image of her. "Hello. I'm Razelle. I'm obviously November's mother." She greeted me. "I honestly thought you were November's twin!" I told her. She laughed a quick laugh. And thanked me. "Uh-mum.Aaron's here-" I cut her off. "I'm here to get your permission to take out your beautiful daughter to dinner." I said with confidence. "And where exactly are you taking my daughter?" She asked. "A favorite restaurant of mine." I answered. "November. You better hurry up and get changed. I don't want Aaron here waiting." November quickly rushed up the stairs. "Actually young man, you might want to go home and get changed yourself." I didn't want to leave without November. "Uh, I have clothes in my car. Is it alright if I change in your bathroom?" I asked. She nodded. She then pointed to the bathroom.

*November

I walked down the stairs in a blue, silky, boob-tube dress. I was wearing a silver necklace with nice silver shoes. I had left my hair out. At the end of the staircase awaited my Prince Charming. His was reaction was to die for. He was looking at me in amazement. I reached the end before he could say, "Wow. You look sooo beautiful." I smiled and saw Razelle in the corner of my eye smile, she must like him a lot.
"Are you ready to go?" He asked me. I nodded. "Bye Razelle!" Aaron and I called out at exactly the same time. We giggled and walked out the door.

We had made it to our destination, It was called "The Blue Violet"
I was still sitting in the car as Aaron opened my door for me. "Do you like it?" He asked me. "What do you mean? I LOVE It !! No wonder it's a favorite! It's beautiful!" I answered as I hopped out of the car. "And this is only the outside." He laughed. We started walking towards the restaurant. I stopped him and he looked at me concerned. "Is something wrong?" He asked. I nodded a 'no' but I linked my arm in his and smiled. He smiled a smile that made my heart thump. We walked into the restaurant. I found that there was nobody. "We're the only ones dining here tonight?" I wondered aloud. Aaron laughed. He pulled out a seat for me to sit in.

I sat down and watched as one of the waiters carried a 'CLOSED' sign outside. "Is it closed? Shouldn't we go?" I asked Aaron. "No. Tonight's just for us." I looked at him in shock. "Does this restaurant normally do that?" He laughed. "Remember how I told Razelle that this is a favorite restaurant mine?" I nodded. "I'm one of their best customers. I'm sort of favored in a way." I couldn't believe he asked for it to be just US. He pointed to the same waiter from before, I watched him as he closed all the curtains shut. "Wow." Was all I could say. Aaron laughed. We started talking about my life in Australia and how him, Kevin and Daniel have known each other since third grade. We had MANY laughs and were so busy talking that we hardly ate. We finally paused for a while before nice, slow music came on. "Did you ask for the music too?" I asked him. "No. I seriously didn't." He replied in shock. I saw the waiter signal to Aaron to ask me for a dance. I laughed as Aaron stood up and come around to my side of the table. He looked into my eyes and held out his hand. I smiled. I held his hand and stood up. He lead me to the middle of the restaurant.

He held my hand with one of his hands and held my waist with his other hand. I put my unoccupied hand on his shoulder. We moved slowly whilst staring into each others eyes. "It's been two weeks and yet, I feel as though I'm falling for you." Aaron whispered in my ear. "I feel EXACTLY the same way about you Zac Aarons." I smiled. We stopped dancing and he held my waist. I put my arms around his neck. He pulled me tight to his body. It was like as if there were a thin magazine between us that we weren't allowed to drop. He leaned in to my face, still staring into my eyes. Our noses touched. He rubbed his nose against mine playfully. "Ugh. Hurry up and kiss me already." I pushed. He laughed and started to tease me again. I quickly pushed my lips to his and started kissing him passionately.

Our heads turned as our lips were going at it like nobody's business. I didn't want this moment to end. We finally came apart and were smiling. We heard the staff applauding for us and cheering happily. We laughed, still holding on to each other. The boss came out and growled them to get back to work. But as soon as they were all gone, he smiled and put both thumbs up. We laughed even harder. The boss left us to be alone. "Damn." Aaron said looking at my face then down to my body. "What?" I asked, wondering whether I had something on my face or body. "I was just saying damn. Damn, you're so beautiful. The most gorgeous girl in the world." I laughed, but deep down inside I sighed in relief. "Well, you're not too bad." He looked at me strangely. I laughed so hard. "I'm joking. You're the most handsome guy I know. You're so charming." I admitted shyly.

He laughed and I smiled. We kissed again, although this time it felt more sexy. He grabbed my bottom as I grabbed the locks of hair at the back of his head. I really enjoyed this moment and didn't want the night to end. He pulled our lips apart. "Aw. What is it? I didn't want to stop." He laughed. "Me either." He said. "So, why?" I asked curiously. "I need to ask you something. Something BIG" He pleaded. "Ok. Go ahead. Just make it quick. We were in the middle of something." I joked. He smiled. "Will you..." It was silent for a couple of seconds. I wrapped my arms around his neck and put my face against his. We closed our eyes. But I knew that we were both thinking about each other. He put his arms around my waist. "Will you be my girlfriend?" I opened my eyes. He gradually found out that my eyes were opened, so he opened his.

Our heads were still together. I kissed his lips passionately and felt as though I couldn't stop. He pulled us apart and smiled. "Does that mean yes?" He asked whilst smirking. "It means...DEFINITELY He pulled my arms around his neck and put his arms around my waist. This time, I pulled my body against his tightly. He smiled and started to kiss me from my lips to my jaw, down, to my neck and to my collarbone. He came back up to my lips and brushed his lips against them playfully. I was smiling and he was still teasing me. I never got why people believed in fate. But now I know why, Aaron and I are MEANT to be!
