Wait a minute how did he know about my music? “Of course, sir I’m sure I can arrange something for tonight.”
“That’s my daughter for you Stuart she lives for her music, she couldn’t put a guitar down since the age of three." He walks out of his office and stands by his boss oh, great trust my dad to embarrass me now. “Is there a particular song you would like to hear Mr. Lockwood?” Dad's boss thinks for a quick second “Could you play ‘Stand by Me’ by Ben E. King that’s my wife and I’s wedding song.” “Certainly, sir that was the first song I ever learned how to play it would be an honor.” “Let’s keep it between us three for now I would love to surprise my wife with it,” Dad comes and stands next to me and squeezes me into his side. “Yes, sir not a word until tonight.” Dad shakes his boss’ hand “Until tonight, Maxwell.” “Yes, we’re looking forward to it” and then Mr. Lockwood left our house. Sitting down and talking to my dad at the kitchen counter for half an hour about how school went and how the unpacking was going. I tell him about Jen and Selena as well about the football game next Friday and I tell Dad my start date for work. He tells me he’s hired a live-in housekeeper and that she’s going to live with us on the top floor of the house, so she has her privacy. Why he’s hired a housekeeper I don’t know but I expect he has his reasons. I excuse myself from the kitchen counter so I can make a start on my homework and get a quick practice in for Mr. Lockwood before tonight. It didn’t take me long to get all my homework done. But a pair of green eyes keeps coming to the front of my mind. I see some of my clothes have already been unpacked for me and luckily enough it’s the clothes from my closet that have been unpacked. I walk over to my closet and open it to see all I need hanging up in the way I like it. Color coordinated, by season and by length, yeah, I know I’m a bit of a neat freak but hey it saves me twenty minutes of dress time. If my closet is like this, then I know that my dad has been in here and unpacked it for me. I must thank him for doing this for me later. Browsing through my closet for the perfect outfit to wear for tonight. Without realizing what I’m doing I pick out an olive-green dress. I hang it up in the bathroom so I can get dressed after a quick shower. I check the time quickly and see that I have time for a quick practice. After my quick practice on my guitar to surprise Mrs. Lockwood with tonight I pack it away in its case for when I next play. Checking the time on my phone and seeing it’s time I started to get ready. Now I’m showered with a towel wrapped around my body and my hair, I do my hair and makeup. I first start by towel drying my hair and rubbing heat protection in my hair. I style my hair in loose tendrils draped around my face with a crystal butterfly clip pinning my fringe back. My makeup I keep simple with a light blusher stroking my cheeks and a dark green eye shadow coating my lids giving me a smokey eye look, mascara and to finish the look I coat my lips in a nude lip gloss. Once my hair and makeup were complete, I finished getting ready. Putting on a white lace bra and matching panties I step into my dress. A lace high neck, laced shouldered, mid-thigh olive green dress with the length going to the length of my knees. I finish my outfit with a pair of black sued ruffle-strapped heels and a black clutch. I check how I look in my full-length mirror and I must say I look surprisingly good. I’m only missing a couple of things and then I will be ready. I go to my dresser picking a nice simple necklace and a dress ring with a green fluorite center stone and three peridot stones on either side, and finally a spritz of my favorite perfume Ghost Deep Night. I’m now ready grabbing my phone and lip gloss I stuff them into my clutch as I walk out of my room. Walking down the stairs in search of my father I hear his voice coming from his office, so I head in that direction. I stand in the doorway watching Dad do his business on the phone. “Gerard I’m looking and the numbers and something is not right I’m sending the report back now could you please have it corrected before the deadline next week? Thank you talk to you soon, bye.” “Always busy working I see Dad,” He looks up from his desk and looks at me in awe. “Oh, my baby girl you look so beautiful you will blow them away.” “Thanks, Dad you look very dashing yourself” I look at my dad in a crisp white shirt and a blue striped tie. “Hey Dad!” he stands from behind his desk putting his jacket on. “Yeah, baby girl!” “Is that the tie mom bought you on your anniversary?” he looks at the tie as he approaches me. “Would you look at that why yes, it is” When he’s standing next to me, he offers me his arm “Well Savannah, shall we?” I nod and take his arm. “Thank you, Dad, for everything” He smiles at me as we leave the house to the awaiting car that will drive us to the Lockwood’s house.Here is a list of the songs that are the inspiration for this book.

Chase P.O.VFour years later Well, it’s been four amazing years in San Fransisco. Savannah and I graduated college last week. I got a degree in Business and in Finance, where Savannah got one in English Literature and in Music. Where I double majored in college Savannah had a major in English but a minor in music. We both graduated with high honors. The world is now our oyster. But before we can even think about anything to do with the world and how we wish to change it I am back at the office wanting to speak to Savannah’s father. It is now time we had that discussion I said I planned to have with him back when we were seniors in high school. Fuck that feels like forever ago. I told her father on the night of the Christmasqurade ball that one day I will come to him to ask for his daughter’s hand in marriage and today is that day. I have arranged for a meeting with Mr. Blakemore to take place in the company’s board room and I asked my dad to be present during this meeting. I plan fo
It has been a couple of weeks since prom and the big day is approaching quickly. Today we get our yearbooks and get them signed before graduation day that is this Saturday. It’s hard to believe this is our final week in high school. It feels like today is still my first day of school but it’s actually almost my last. Not paying attention to where I was going or who was around me with my yearbook in hand I collide into a big, solid mass of a person knocking my books, my yearbook, and some odd bits of paper all over the floor. Bending down to pick everything up, still not paying attention to who I bumped into, on instinct I do apologize to the person as I start picking up my things. I see the person I bumped into bend down and starts to help me with picking up my things and holds out my English book and my notes to hand back to me. I can’t believe I’ve done this again. “You may need these sweetheart,” Hang on a minute? Did I just? Looking up I see Chase smiling at me as he holds my stuf
We all climb out of the limo and the guys are all holding our arms and escorts us up into the building. Two doormen kindly open the door for us and welcome us to the Crystal Palace and to enjoy our evening. First stop for us as Chase and Lucas recommended is to get our pictures done first so then that way, we don’t look too red faced or sweaty. That is actually not a bad idea if you think about it. We get a bunch of pictures took, we had solo pictures, the six of us together, just the girls, just the guys, and with our dates. I can’t wait to see how the pictures come out because I will be getting a copy of every single one. Entering into the ballroom of the palace we can hear the DJ playing ‘Just Dance’ by Lady Gaga. We walked around couples and across the dancefloor to the only table that is free for us to claim. The girls and I put our purses on the table and hit the dance floor with how good the music is sounding. After a couple of songs, the guys joined us on the dance floor alre
After clipping my bow into place, I have one final look at myself in my bathroom mirror before I step out and show the girls. Walking to the door, putting my hand on the handle I close my eyes, take a deep breath, and open the bathroom door. On the other side of the door, I see Jen and Selena with their phones taking my picture and recording me as I walk out. Putting a huge smile on my face I walk out the bathroom giving the girls a twirl and a cute little princess curtsey I have seen Princess Catherine do before. The girls laugh and comment how incredible I look, and Jen commented on the bow. “How big did you want that thing? Fuck Sav that’s the biggest ass bow I have ever seen stuck on anybody’s ass.” We laugh at her comment as I walk over to my vanity. Sitting down on my stool I put in a pair of my mom’s diamond and pearl drop earrings and her snowflake necklace again. Wearing this necklace makes everything feel like it’s turned in a full circle. Finding out Chase was Wolf behind
Three weeks later Tonight is prom night. The night all the senior girls look forward to the most. Don’t ask me about the guys some look forward to it for other reasons than what it means. The girls and I are getting ready together. We all booked to get our hair and makeup done at a salon today for tonight. We are sat in the chairs getting pampered away, a treat from Selena’s Abuela, as she said no Nieta of hers will not go to prom without having a beauty day at the salon. We all chose to have a French manicure and pedicure, to keep it simple. We also showed our makeup artists pictures of our dresses so they could do our makeup to match our dresses. Jen’s hair shaped her face beautifully. She had a volumized high ponytail with some hair extensions that matched her hair color perfectly with elegant curls and some curls framing her face. To finish the look off she had this black jeweled crystal hair clip she slid into the top part of the ponytail. Jen’s makeup made her look much older t
