Finally

NATHANIEL'S POV

"Man, that was crazy babe!", Clover exclaimed when she got off the bike.

"Guy, say something?", he said, shaking Daniel's arm, he was shocked as I was. I was too shocked, highly shocked to even say anything.

'Like, it was more than amazing!!,

That was awesome!!'

"Have you ever had a power bike race before", Daniel asked, after coming out of his temporary trance, "I mean... how did you manage to beat me?"

Dawn returned the helmet to Madeline, "Thanks", she said before turning to look at rest of us, "no, I haven't, well... you can call it a beginner's luck".

"Beginner's luck, my foot", Madeline snickered, "whatever you say, but I do want us to have more of this, it's not everyday you see someone beat Dee's ass, aren't I right, Nath?"

I shrugged, "don't think it's a big deal, guess the infamous Dee is a slow poke after all", I said, making the whole gang to laugh except Dawn and Daniel

Dawn rolled her eyes at me, "yeah, says the person who's even scared to ride a bicycle, not to mention a power bike, I'm even surprised he can drive a car"

"Hey!!", I exclaimed, "you're supposed to be on my side"

"Wow!, that was oooh!, sunshine, thanks", Daniel said, before looking at me, "what she said is a fact, though"

Whatever!!

"Well guys, I gue-", I was interrupted by my phone call, I looked at the caller's ID, it was Dawn's aunt. I walked few meters away from the gang

"Maam, Chris speaking",

"Oh, thank goodness. I've been trying to reach Dawn, but she isn't picking up, is she there with you?"

I looked at Dawn, who was still talking to the gang. It's like she's gotten used to be with new people, especially Madeline

"Yes maam, she's with me. Is there any problem?

"Problem? No no, there isn't. Instead it's good news", she laughed, "just give her the phone"

I walked towards the group of 'babies', and gave Dawn the phone, "Your aunt wants to speak with you"

Dawn looked at me with a look asking if there was a problem. I shook my head in the negative, that there wasn't

"We're leaving now, it's getting late already", I told the gang, earning suspicious looks from them

Daniel looked at Dawn then back at me, "is everything okay?"

I watched as she talked to her aunt on the phone, "yeah, I guess", I said still looking at Dawn

She gasped as tears made their way to her eyes, "are you really sure?, is it true?"

'Now there's a problem'

I looked back at the gang, "we really need to go now guys, I'll call you later"

"Okay, no probs. Take care of her ", Daniel said, obviously concerned about Dawn

I put my hand around her waist, and guided her to the car, she was not in this world again, still focused on whatever her aunt was telling her.

Although I'm still wondering what her aunt said to her to make her cry

But again, I bet it has good news for her to smile as she's crying, maybe happy tears then

We reached the car, then she turned to look at me, when she was done talking to her aunt, "I'm gonna drive"

I looked at her like she was speaking gibberish, "are you serious?, in your state, I don't think it's sa-"

I was cut off by her hug. She hugged me like her life depended on it. I recovered from my shock, and hugged her back. I buried my nose in her hair, inhaling her sweet jasmine shampoo

"Let me drive", she looked at me with glossy eyes, "please"

I moved round the car to the driver's car and opened the door, she thought I ignored her, until I gestured with my head for her to get in,

"Thanks, sweets", her face lit up,she gave me a peck on the lips, before getting in

I turned around and entered the car, then we zoomed off. I kept looking at her, really hoping that nothing was really wrong

"Don't worry, everything is fine, I promise", she said, like she was reading my mind. Then she held my hand, while she drove

We reached a particular place, I saw we weren't going in the direction of the house, "where are we going?"

She smiled, "I'd like you to meet someone "

"Okay so, who's this someone?"

She just looked at me and smiled.

We reached a place where there was a big gate. We passed through, and it wasn't what I was expecting

The streetlights weren't on, just the car's headlights so making the dark place seem darker, like we were in a haunted street, but Dawn continued driving like she knew the path even in the dark

She continued driving, until we reached a very large mansion,

'Wow!'

That was the first thought that crossed my mind when I saw the building. It was a castle, like for real

'So big and so majestic'

Dawn parked the car, and we got down. She came to my side, and hugged me

"Thank you for everything, for being here with me, I don't know what really made you appear in my life, but I'm glad you did. And I wanted to tell you that I lo..., hmm" she stopped taking a deep breath

'Could it be what I think it is, she wants to say'

"I look forward to our future together", she finished, making my face fall at what I was expecting

'That was definitely not what I wanted to hear',

She took my hand and dragged me inside the mansion, "Now, I want you to meet someone very important "

Thanks for reading my novel guys, it really means a lot
