Our Forbidden Love: Forever and Always

~ Bonus Chapter 1: Prom ~

Music - You Are In Love (Taylor's Version)

16th July 2024. Prom day.

Madi has had this dress for months now. Unfortunately, her parents couldn't be bothered to pay for it so she didn't even think she would have her dream dress. Lando told his parents about the situation and he showed them the dress she wanted. Adam & Cisca both treat Madi like she's their own daughter and later that week they took Madi to get the dress without Lando knowing. Madi tried to tell them to keep the money over a billion times but there was no convincing them so she just let them pay for it. Now, she's finally stood in front of the mirror, in her dream prom dress. Her dress is the perfect shade of purple and matches her perfectly (if you're imagining yourself as Madi then just choose whatever style of dress you like). Lando knows she has a prom dress but doesn't know that she did get her dream dress. Either way, Lando would think that Madi looks beautiful. She looks at herself in the mirror for a bit longer and makes sure everything is perfect. Her makeup is perfect and her hair is curled for once even if it is downed in hairspray to keep the curls in as her hair is so straight that it doesn't hold anything without hairspray. She hears Lando knock on the door of his room and hear her say "come in, Lan". He opens the door and immediately has tears falling from his eyes as he takes it all in and then realises that she's wearing her dream dress. "Oh my god... that's the dress... how did you get it?" he says before hearing Cisca behind him. "Me and your dad bought it for her. Madi is like our own daughter now, Lan. She's family and when you said how much she wanted it, I knew that we had to get it for her" she says and Lando looks at his mum and hugs her. "Madi is family???" he says. "Of course she is, Lando! She's been family since the second you guys got together. I know you will never leave her either, You Are In Love, Lan. A love that will last a lifetime" she says. "You look lovely, Madi" she says before leaving the couple together. "She's right, baby. You look stunning. I actually wanna cry because of how beautiful you are" he says as he wipes a tear from his eye. He holds her by her waist behind her and rests his head on her shoulder while looking at her in the mirror. "You're so beautiful, baby" he says before kissing her cheek. "I know what tie to wear now" he says while looking for a matching purple tie. "There we go, now everyone knows that we are together" he says before kissing her. "I still can't get over how beautiful you look" he says as he holds her arm up and lets her turn around. "I'm guessing you like it then?" she says. "I love it, baby. You're quite literally the most beautiful woman in the world. And it's not just because of the dress.." he says. She giggles and wraps her arms around his neck. "I love you more than anything" she says. "I love you more than anything too. Now, should we go to our prom?" he says and she nods. "I'm gonna show everyone what true love is" he says while kissing her cheek.

Lando helps Madi get out of the house and she immediately freezes as she sees a massive Limo. "Lan. Seriously, you've gotta stop spending money on me" she says. "Nope, no way, baby. This is our special night and you deserve the best" he says while taking her hand and getting in the limo. "I swear to god you could have bought 5 mansions with the amount of money your family has spent on me over the last year and a half" she says. Lando smiles and intertwines his hand with hers. "Yet I wouldn't change it for the world. The money that we've spent on you has all been worth it. You've brought more happiness than you think to me and I want to make you happy" he says. "I still don't know how your family isn't broke after spending all this money" she says. "My dad makes a lot more money than you think, sweetheart. A little Limo isn't gonna make him go bankrupt" he says. She giggles and rests her head on his shoulder. "You do realise how much attention this will bring us when we get there" she says and Lando shrugs. "And?" he says. "You do love a bit of attention don't you?" she says and he laughs. "Guilty!" he says. She takes a moment to look around the limo and then looks back at Lando. "I don't deserve you" she says. "You do, baby. You deserve the world and I will make sure you get it" he says. "God I love you so much" she says. "I love you more, baby" he says while pulling up her hand and kisses her promise ring. "Always remember why I got you this ring. It's not just a commitment to you. It's also a testament to the endless love story we're writing together" he says. "Our Forbidden Love story. We've come so far since the start of our relationship when we were hiding but I still believe we are in a forbidden love. I know that some people will forever believe that we shouldn't be together but I'm ok with that because it gives me a reason to prove how much I love you" she says. "I know people will always try to keep us apart, but nothing can break the bond that we have created. We will show them that no matter what obstacles come our way, we're stronger when we face them side by side" he says. "Forever and always, baby" she says as she rests her forehead on his. "Forever and always, my love. No matter where life takes us" he says as they arrive at the prom venue. "You ready, baby?" she says. "I've been ready for this since the day we met, Let's make this night unforgettable, my love" he says

They both walk into the venue with their hands interlocked. The music is perfect, everything is perfect. She looks at Lando for a second and gets lost in his ocean eyes. "My beautiful boy... I love you so much" she says. "I love you too, baby. Now, dance with me and show everyone how much I mean to you" he says while taking her by the waist and holding her close. She wraps her arms around his neck and stays as close as possible to him. "I think I'm living in a fairytale... I finally found my king" she says. "You're my queen, baby. Us against the world" he says. She looks into his ocean eyes and sees love flooding out of them as well as her brown eyes. "I think I found my reason to live" she says. Lando's heart swells with happiness at her words. "You've given me a reason to live too, my love" he says as he leans in to kiss her. He kisses her deeply but doesn't take it too far as he doesn't want to leave too early and he knows what the result will be if he does. Madi kisses him back and as she pulls away she notices out of the corner of her eye that Mason is kissing someone. "Lan... don't make it obvious but you might wanna look behind you because Mason is kissing someone" she says. Lando immediately turns around and makes it extremely obvious but somehow doesn't get caught. "Oh my god, that's Chloe Smith" he says and she notices. "Oh my god... it is... I did not think Mason would get a girlfriend for a while. But... I'm happy for him" she says while looking down at the football charm on her necklace. She hasn't seen Mason in a few days as she has been staying at Lando's because she got into a fight with their parents. Madi is convinced that she will get kicked out at some point. Lando notices that Madi is thinking about home again and as much as it pains him to drag her away from her brother; he knows he needs to in order to keep her happy tonight. "Your eyes are so beautiful, baby" he says which makes her blush. "I wouldn't say they are my best feature" she says. "Oh, but they are, sweetheart. They're not just your best feature; they're one of the many aspects that make you irresistible. And don't forget about your infectious laugh or the way you light up when you talk about something you're passionate about" he says, which makes her start blushing like crazy. "If you keep complimenting me like this then you will make me blush like I don't know what" she says. "It's not a compliment if it's the truth, baby. Besides, I enjoy seeing the blush on those beautiful cheeks of yours" he says while leaning in closer to her. "Are you trying to make me blush even more, Mr Norris?" she says. "maybe I am... maybe I'm not...you will never know... Mrs Norris" he says with a wink. She blushes even more as he calls her Mrs Norris. "Oh so you're confirming that one day I will be Mrs Norris?" she says. "I'm not confirming anything, my love. I'm stating a fact that the day will come when you'll be mine fully and I will be yours fully. We'll be together forever" he says. "I guess that's what this symbolises. Your promise to forever love me" she says as she holds up her hand with her promise ring. "Yes, baby. Forever and Always" he says. "Forever and Always, Lan" she says before kissing him. Lando's heart swells with emotion as he realises how much happiness he gains from being with Madi. He knows that she is his soulmate and he knows that even though they are only 16, they will be together for a lifetime.

"Forever and Always in Our Forbidden Love" Lando says
"Our Forbidden Love. Forever and Always Against The World" Madi says
