Dani's Prom
A/N: Hey guys! I'm so sorry that I haven't updated this series in a very long time. Honestly, this fic series turned into so much more than I thought it would. Which is a good thing, and I'm so grateful for everyone who has read it. This will probably be the last chapter for now. But if I get inspired to write for it I will be sure to post! So be sure to follow it.
This was a prompt that was requested a long time ago and I know it's late but I hope you enjoy it! :)
Moonlit beach, stars twinkling in the sky, and the background jazz music playing. It all felt very dream-like. But she didn't need all of that. All she needed was him. And him asking with pizza was perfect. Pizza was kind of their thing; their go to food. It had been what they'd eaten on their first date. She knew the dance was in a couple of days and he hadn't asked her. So when he did this, she was very surprised.
They sat together on a blanket eating pizza. Just enjoying each other's company and watching the sun go down with the waves hitting the surface. Going higher and higher but never reaching them.
He put his arm around her and she placed her head on his shoulder. This was just a perfect moment.
He drove her home and her parents still weren't there yet. Must be date night? Or maybe they were just working late. It was either one or the other when it came to them. Ryder had called it an early night. So that left her alone in her bedroom. Netflix and popcorn it was. She laid on her bed while watching 'The Proposal' seemed fitting for her night. She had gotten to the part of the movie where Sandra Bullock's character was asking Ryan Reynolds character to marry her. She was on her knees in the middle of a crowd asking with a very sassy voice if he'd marry her. He'd accepted of course. It was a good movie. One of her favorites. The movie continued to play and she ended up falling asleep about halfway through.
The next day she woke up early, showered, got dressed and went downstairs for breakfast. Her dad made the best frittatas. After breakfast she had gone shopping with her mom. She'd told her about prom and how Sean had asked her. Now she just needed a dress for the occasion. They searched a couple places and she was just about to give up. That's when she noticed a small boutique with bay windows and mint green wall colors. She had gone inside with her mom and looked around. The place was really nice. Wooden floors, tables lined out with little accessories and clothes. She walked towards a rack and noticed this beautiful silver gown with a sweetheart line that had black lace. It had white silk underlining it. It was perfect.
"Mom, I think I found the dress!"
Kensi walked over and looked at the dress Dani had in her hands.
"It looks perfect. Now we have to find the right shoes."
Looking around she spotted some shoes on the wall.
A pair of Mary-Jane type shoes; glitter with a bow in the front.
"Perfect. Now some accessories and we're done."
They purchased their items and grabbed some lunch to take home.
Once home she went straight to her room and hung up her beautiful gown. And placed the shoes on a small table in her closet.
She was so happy. She couldn't wait for prom.
The punch was a dark purple shade. Not even half an hour in and someone had tried to spike it. But Mrs. Ross and her hawk eyes had caught the guys in time. They were definitely in for a detention or possibly suspension? She definitely didn't want to be them right now.
They danced until she just couldn't take her feet pain anymore. So she went to sit at their table while Sean went to go get them something to drink.
Minutes passed and she thought it was weird that he was taking so long. Glancing over to where the punch was she suddenly felt uneasy.
There he was. Talking to a very happy and way too close for her comfort, Belle.
She had her hand on his shoulder and was giggling at whatever he had said.
Having just about enough, she was about to get up and give them a piece of her mind!
That's when it happened. Belle had leaned in and kissed his cheek. It was all too much. She needed air and needed it now. She grabbed her stuff from the table and went outside.
Punch. Just one thing. All he wanted was some punch for him and Dani. It was supposed to be so simple and easy to do right?
Well not exactly. Belle had stopped him just before he had the chance to do anything.
This wasn't the first time either. He'd met her before when he came to pick up Dani from school. She was just an overly touchy, won't take no for an answer person. And he didn't like her. But he wouldn't tell her that. He had to be polite until she left. But there was a line and she had just crossed it.
They had been talking and she had been too touchy feely for his liking. But when she leaned in and kissed his cheek, that's when he knew he had to say something.
"Whoa! What are you doing?"
"Come on, we both know you like me."
"No, I don't. And I have a girlfriend!" He said moving away from her.
"Whatever. It's your loss."
"Yeah, sure." He said sarcastically.
'The nerve of some people.' He thought to himself.
He grabbed the punch and headed back to the table. Only to find it empty.
"Where did she go?" He looked around and couldn't find her.
The fresh air felt so good. This is just what she needed. She walked over to the gazebo and leaned against the floral railing. She could hear the music playing from inside. Maybe she should just call her mom and have her pick her up? But then there would be questions and she wasn't really in the mood to answer them. The sound of the gym doors opening and closing had her turning around.
"Dani!?"
'Great, just what I needed.' She whispered to herself.
He ran towards her and asked.
"Hey, what happened? Why did you leave?"
"Like you don't know."
"I was worried. When I went back to the table you weren't there, why?"
"I just needed some air."
"Do you want to go back inside?"
"Honestly, no. This is the last place I want to be."
"Hey, what's wrong?"
Moving closer to her he put his hand in hers.
"If you wanted to be here with someone else, you could have just told me." She tried to pull her hand free but he held on.
"I don't want to be. I want you, only you."
"Ha! It didn't seem like it in there."
"Dani, you're the only one for me."
"Really? Well Belle sure doesn't seem to think so."
"Wait. You don't think…Dani that was all her! When she started that I pulled away and told her I wasn't interested. You have to believe me, please!?"
"I…" she tried to hold in her tears but a few slipped down her face.
"Please don't cry." His thumb went to her face and wiped her tears away.
"Ugh, stupid tears!"
"I just want you, no one else."
"How am I supposed to believe you, after that?"
"Because…"
She turned to look at him.
"Because?"
"Because, I love you!"
She gasped. He had never said that before. Neither of them had. He loved her?
"You, what?"
"I know we're still young and in high school. But isn't the point of dating and having a high school sweetheart supposed be like this? I don't know if you feel the same way but…"
"How do you know that? You can say the words but do you really feel that way?"
"I know that because when I wake up in the morning you're the first person I think of. At night I dream of you, of us. Every time I see you my heart speeds up, when we kiss I feel something that I've never felt before. What else could it be?"
"I…"
"Dani, if words aren't enough then…"
He grabbed her hand and pulled her into him.
Looking into his eyes she gasped as his lips locked with hers.
Their kisses were always amazing but this one was something else. It had more feeling, more passion.
She leaned more into him, her arms wrapped around his neck.
Pulling a part their foreheads touching.
Breathless she whispered his name.
"Sean…"
"Dani, I love you. And I understand if it's too soon and you can't say it back right…"
She kissed him again, cutting off his sentence.
"I love you, too. You idiot."
"Really?" He smiled wide at her.
She nodded.
He kissed her again.
Minutes passed as they stayed in their own little moment.
"We should head back. Unless you want to head home?"
"Hmm, it is getting pretty late. But how about we grab some fro-yo before you drop me off at home?"
"Sounds perfect."
Hands intertwined they walked to his car.
"Besides, we don't want to be too late. My dad doesn't need another excuse not to like you."
"What!? You're dad loves me!"
"Babe, he doesn't even say your name right."
"I thought he just didn't remember it? He really doesn't like me?"
"Awe, don't worry about it. He'll warm up to you…eventually."
She kissed his cheek.
"Hopefully." He mumbled.
"Come on don't pout. You can get extra toppings."
"Hey, does your dad like frozen yogurt?"
He asked in hopes of getting into his someday future father-in-laws good graces.
