13 Dates With Me

Chapter Eleven

Ada and Landon exchanged a look, and then Ada spoke up. "You know, we think you might be good for him. You've got a good energy around you, and Xavier seems happy when he's with you."

Landon nodded. "Yeah, we've seen the way he lights up when he talks about you. That's not something we see often, so we think you might be worth taking a chance on."

I smiled, feeling a sense of gratitude towards Ada and Landon. "Thanks, guys. That means a lot coming from you two. Speaking of which, I was thinking of planning something special for Xavy. Do you guys have any ideas?"

Ada's eyes lit up. "Actually, we do have an idea. How about a concert date? Xavier loves live music, and there's a great band playing tonight. We think he'd love it."

Landon nodded in agreement. "Yeah, that's a great idea. We've been trying to get him to go for weeks, but he's been too busy. If you take him, he'll definitely appreciate the effort."

I grinned, feeling excited about the prospect. "That sounds perfect. Thanks for the suggestion, guys. I think I'll take your advice and plan a concert date for tonight."

As we parted ways, Ada and Landon gave me their seal of approval, and I felt a sense of relief and excitement. I was one step closer to making Xavier happy, and I couldn't wait to see where this journey would take us.

****Flashback over*****

And now, we're here, standing in the crowd, the lights dimming, and the first notes of the opening song echoing through the venue.

I look over at him, and I see the way his eyes light up, like he's transported somewhere else, somewhere only music can take him. That's what I lo-like about Xavier, his passion, his genuine happiness when he's lost in his favorite song. It's contagious.

I can't help but feel a surge of pride, knowing I've created this moment for him.

This isn't just a concert, it's a gesture, a way to say 'thank you' for being the person who makes my world brighter. I wanted to give him a night where he can forget everything else, just lose himself in the music, just be himself.

As the band plays on, I catch myself stealing glances at him, watching him sway to the rhythm, a smile creeping across his face.

It's so natural, so effortless. I've never seen him so relaxed, so utterly happy. And it hits me, this is exactly where I want to be, right here, sharing this moment with him.

I feel a flutter in my chest, part nervousness, part awe. I hope he feels how much I care, how much I want to make him feel loved and that he's not just the only one putting effort into this relationship.

Tonight isn't just about the music though, it's about us, about showing him that he's appreciated, that he's loved just as he is.

When the band launches into one of his favorite songs, I reach for his hand without thinking. I want him to know I'm with him, that I'm here, that I see him. His fingers intertwine with mine, warm and reassuring, and I feel a little more confident. This is perfect. This is exactly what I wanted.

His whole body seemed to relax, his face glowing with pure bliss. He closed his eyes again, and I could see the emotion flickering behind his eyelids. I wanted to hold him then, to tell him how much he deserved this happiness, how much I wanted to give him moments like this.

The crowd around us cheered wildly, but to me, the only thing that mattered was the way Xavier's voice joined in the chorus, singing along with genuine passion. His voice was soft, a little shaky, but filled with sincerity. Seeing him so uninhibited, so completely himself, made my chest tighten with affection. I reached to push some of his locs-he had his locs released- out of his face, and he looked at me with a shy smile, eyes shining brighter than the stage lights.

It went on like that, throughout the night, I kept finding myself smiling more often than I expected. Watching Xavier's eyes sparkle, seeing him sing along, feeling his energy, these moments make my heart swell. I want to remember every second, every note, every laugh.

And as the final encore closes, and the crowd erupts into applause, the energy in the room grew even more electric. Xavier leaned into me, resting his head on my shoulder, and I wrapped my arms around him, pulling him closer. In that moment, I realized how fragile and precious this feeling was, how lucky I was to share it with him, I lean in slightly, whispering softly to him, "I'm glad I got to share this with you." His smile is all I need to feel that I've done something right. "It means a lot to me"

This night, this concert, it's more than just an evening out. It's a memory I'll cherish forever, I really wanted this man happy for the rest of his life, especially with how serious Ada sounded at the cafe

****Flashback*****

Ada's expression turned serious, and she leaned in closer. "Danny, I have to be honest with you. I'm scared for Xavier. His ex really did a number on him, and although Xavier has fallen for you and trust you completely, it doesn't mean we do, we've known about you for a while from Xavier and we've got to see you with him, but a part of me is still scared Danny, I don't want a repeat of what happened to Danny."

I nodded, it felt like someone had reached into my heart and is trying to rip it out . "I can imagine. Xavier's told me a bit about what happened, though he didn't go into details, he just told me he did him wrong and that he would tell me when the time is right, I'm sorry he had to go through that. But I want you to know that I'm not like that. I'm genuinely invested in Xavier, and I want him to be happy, more happy than he makes me ."

Ada's eyes searched mine, as if looking for any sign of insincerity. "I hope so, Danny. Xavier deserves to be loved and cherished, and if you're not capable of that, then...I don't know if you're the right person for him."

I took a deep breath, wanting to assure her that I was committed to Xavier's happiness. "Ada, I promise you that I'm nothing like Xavier's ex. I want Xavier to feel loved, supported, and cherished. I want him to know that he's worthy of love and that I'm here for him, no matter what."

Landon nodded, seeming to relax a bit. "We're just looking out for him, you know? We care about him deeply, and we don't want to see him get hurt again."

I smiled, feeling a sense of gratitude towards Ada and Landon. "I understand that, and I appreciate it. I care about Xavier deeply too, and I promise to do my best to make him happy."

Ada's expression softened, and she smiled slightly. "Okay, Danny. I think you might be okay. But remember, if you hurt him, you'll have to answer to us."

I chuckled, feeling a sense of relief. "I wouldn't expect anything less. I already got the talk from Diego and Gustavo also"

Ada's eyes lit up. "Good to see Xavier has a lot of people who would ride for him"

*****Flashback over*****

I looked over at the smiling man in front of me who was talking about how awesome the band was and how much he enjoyed the concert, my heart began to speed up as I stared at the light skin man in front of me.
