It was ridiculous when Michael dropped me off as I ran inside the airport while I was still wearing my prom dress, the heels that I had ditched earlier in Michael's car.
Ignoring everyone else's abnormal glances, something I wouldn't have done if I hadn't met Sora, my eyes darted around searching for him. I began to panic when I darted around the airport, my bare feet going numb until my eyes landed on two elderly couple that was just coming out of Starbucks Coffee.
"Martha, Liam!" I exclaimed. I didn't see the couple in weeks so it was a relief when they returned the same amount of excitement when they saw me.
"You look beautiful!" Martha exclaimed with a wide smile until she glanced at my expression, her smile disappearing. "What's wrong?"
I was running out of breath. "Where's Sora?"
It was Liam's turn to respond. "We just checked him in. If you want to catch him, he's at McDonalds but he should be going through security soon."
I thanked the couple before running to McDonalds, following the signs that led the to fast food place. I bit my lip, excusing myself as I ran past people while holding my dress up, my eyes darting around for a tall, handsome male. Time was running out, I could feel it.
Once I reached McDonalds, Sora was nowhere to be found. My heart slightly broke at the thought that Sora had already left as I took out my phone, staring at the locked screen of Sora and I glancing at each other with wide smiles.
"If you're looking for that handsome man, he left a little bit over two minutes ago in that direction," a young man said with a kind expression as he pointed to the left. I breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him as I bolted in the direction the male had pointed me in.
"Did you find him?" Bianca questioned beside me, breathing heavily beside me as she tried to catch her breath, Michael behind her.
I shook my head before glancing at multiple lines, preparing themselves to get onto the escalator. As I chewed on my bottom lip, my eyes landed on a tall, handsome male that I had been looking for all night. He was still in his suit and tie but his suit jacket had been taken off and his tie was nowhere to be found.
He was handsome, even while waiting in line.
"Go," Michael whispered to me.
With one word, my legs made a move as I pushed my way through the line, apologising to every person I may have slightly harmed. People were shouting at me and it was enough to grab Sora's attention as his wide eyes met my panicked ones, his mouth moving as if to say anything but couldn't.
Once I reached the middle of the line, I pulled Sora out of it and wrapped my arms around him. I kissed him, hard as I felt his arms wrap around my waist tightly, pulling me in closer.
"I love you," I said confidently, the words escaping my lips the moment I pulled away as my heart leaped when I said those words out loud to the person who was meant to hear them. Sora's hazel eyes widened in shock as he caressed my cheek, shaking his head in amusement. "I love you and I always have and always will, Lockhart. I love you so much." By this time, tears were streaming down my cheeks as I pulled him in for a tight embrace, hoping he would accept my love.
"You amaze me every single fucking time," Sora whispered inside my ear as he kissed the top of my head. "I love you, too."
"Please don't leave," I whispered. "Stay with me."
Sora blinked at me. "How did you know?"
I chuckled, wiping my tears away. "It wasn't that hard to figure out, you know."
Sora chuckled before turning around and apologised to the people who had been watching, some with happy expressions and others were annoyed. Sora fetched his suitcase before leading me to Bianca, Michael, Martha and Liam who had been waiting for us with wide smiles on their faces.
"She finally said it," Bianca squealed in delight as she faced Michael with a wide smile.
Sora placed an arm around me and kissed my temples. "I honestly thought you wouldn't ever say it."
I turned to face him and shook my head. "I was afraid to give you that much amount of power."
Sora raised a brow, bemused. "What?"
I sighed, playing with his fingers. "Saying 'I love you' is one of the biggest thing ever and it just means that you're giving them that power and trusting them enough to not hurt you."
"Oh, sweetheart, I would never hurt you," Sora responded with a chuckle, kissing my forehead. "At least not intentionally and besides, I would never hear the end of it."
I pulled away to see who he was looking at and Martha and Liam were giving him feigned death glares before smiling sweetly at me. "What about your mom?"
Sora shrugged. "She can wait."
I cleared my throat, causing to Sora to look at me while the four of them went to grab a cup of coffee. "I'll break yours if you break mine."
Sora rolled his eyes in amusement then kissed the top of my nose. "I know."
Half an hour later, Sora and I found ourselves at a little ice-cream parlour after Michael had dropped us off at my father's place. I was still in my prom dress and he was obviously still in his suit, earning a couple glances from those who were enjoying their ice-creams nearby.
"I'm sorry for ruining prom," he whispered, digging into his chocolate chip ice-cream. "I know it's selfish of me but I wanted to make it easier for me. But also for you because then you would eventually forget about me."
I shook my head, placing the tiny spoon on my vanilla ice-cream. "I will never forget about you, Sora. You are my first love and that isn't something I can easily forget about."
He smiled. "And hopefully, the last."
I chuckled. "Yes."
Sora used his fingertip and swatched his ice cream on the tip of my nose, causing me to gasp at him. He threw his head back and laughed at my expression and probably at how silly I looked before running away from me. He took his small cup of ice cream before running out of the parlour as I followed him, laughing in the chilly night.
If I was an outsider, I would hear the two laughs of two teenagers in love and wouldn't be anywhere else in the world but with each other.
Sora laughed and turned around, catching me in his arms as he swung me around for a second before placing me on my feet. He caressed my cheek, his hazel eyes looking into my own before grazing his lips against mine.
"I love you, Sora Lockhart," I whispered against his lips, my heart fluttering when his arms wrapped around me protectively.
"I love you more than life itself, Lucinda Raelyn," Sora responded just as quietly.
Sora and I were about to kiss until a car slowly passed by us, honking at us. The two of us casted a glance on the street where Michael and Bianca rolled their windows down before screaming 'ew!', causing Sora and I to laugh then chased down the car.
Hand in hand, Sora and I ran down the empty street with our laughter trailing behind us.
He was mine to begin with and I only hoped that he was mine till my very last breath.
Not only did I found my sanity and peace in dance but in the boy who I thought I wouldn't ever end up with in my entire life. It was like I was dancing with the bad boy and I loved every moment of it.
a/n: oh. my. goodness. I finally finished the last chapter of Dancing with the Bad Boy and I am a bit shocked and sad myself. I didn't want Sora and Lucinda's story to end but I knew it had to happen sooner or later anyways. I love both of them with all of my heart and I'm so sad to see that this is the end of their story. Their love is so pure, I wish they were real.
Through Sora and Lucinda, I have definitely developed a new perspective on love and I knew this love exists in reality, we just have to find the right person.
Nevertheless, an epilogue will be up soon and that is when I will say my gratitude to every single one of you that have supported me on this journey and many others to come!
If you didn't know, Bianca Walker is the daughter of Xavier Walker, daughter of one of the main characters on Bad Boy Xavier. I revealed a bit of her life and her love story with Michael because I know some of you have asked for a sequel to Bad Boy Xavier and ever since I brought Bianca on this story, I have contemplated on writing and creating her life but still, we'll see.
For now, I love you.
See you on the epilogue, my angels. x
