Always Second

The next morning, Delilah's sleep was disturbed by someone banging on her door. Screaming at her to open up, Delilah recognized the two voices immediately and groaned. Getting up to open the door, Delilah scowled at the two girls that were annoying her lately.

As Delilah finally opened the door, Scarlett and Savannah smiled widely as if they weren't just banging on her door earlier and screaming at her to open it. "Good Morning!!"

The two walked in with their makeup bags and dresses in their hands. "We're getting ready in your room today."

Closing the door and grumbling to herself, Delilah walked back to her bed and got under the covers. 

Scarlett frowned and crossed her arms together, "Hey, you'd better get up and get ready."

As the two started arguing, Savannah made her way to the balcony and opened the screen. "Omg, Lilah. You literally have the best view here. What the hell, that Jace sure is something." She scoffed as she smiled at Delilah. 

Forgetting the argument to force Delilah out of bed, Scarlett walked over to see the view too, "Oh my gosh, seriously!! This is way better than mine. What the heck?"

Smiling to herself, Delilah rolled her eyes at them. Trying to be calm on the outside, in truth, Delilah just wanted to giggle. She was feeling like a little school girl. Turning on her side and planning to sleep for a little bit more, Scarlett jumped on the bed.

"Oh, no you don't!" Throwing the covers off the bed, Delilah finally sat up not tired anymore.

"Ok, I'm up."

"Good, let's order some brunch and then get ready!!" Savannah squealed.

Delilah was putting on her silver sparkly dangling earrings and white high heels on as she asked Savannah, "So what's the agenda for today."

"Well, we are going to take pictures first, then we'll all go to dinner, and then we'll come back to the resort where they'll have a place set up with a bar and dance floor."

Nodding at her, Delilah put on charm bracelet and looked in the mirror flattening out any creases in her dress. Scarlett had insisted on doing her makeup today and although Delilah told her to do her eye makeup natural, and although it kind of was, Scarlett had to add a little bit of black to the smokey eye to make her eyes pop. Whatever. At least her lips weren't red like last time. It was a nude color with lipgloss on top.

"You guys ready." Savannah was at the door and ready to go. 

"Yeah." Delilah grabbed her own and walked over while Scarlett was searching frantically for hers. 

"Wait a second guys. Never mind, I got it. Ok, let's go."

The three made their way down stairs to the lobby. They were going to take some pictures inside and then outside on the beautiful marble terrace that looked out to the crystal water's of the beach.

Delilah could see there were professional photographers and other's were already taking individual photos. Spotting Jace and making her way towards him, he looked her up and down and smirked.

"Looking good." Jace took her by the waist and hugged her to his side, kissing her cheek in the process. 

"Come on guys, we're taking a picture together." Scarlett was waving her hands towards the two to stand where they were.

Walking to where they were, the boys, Mason, Tyler, and Ashton were in the back holding their girls in the front. As Jace and Delilah made their ways towards them, the photographer came to them and told them what to do.

"Ok, honey, I need you to stand behind her." The woman then positioned Jace's hands onto Delilah's waist and moved Delilah's hands to go over top of Jace's. "Hmm. I'm gonna need you two to move a little bit more to the right, just a little bit. Ok! There, perfect!! Alright now. Everyone smile."

After a few flashes, she made us do another pose. Coming towards Delilah and Jace, she placed them into position for an example to everyone else. "Ok, your arm needs to be here and you need to be right here. Ok, perfect." Delilah and Jace were side hugging with one of Jace's hands on her waist and the other in his pocket, Delilah's were on his back and the other was on his chest. The other's followed and the pictures were done.

"Ok, I need individual ones now. You two first." Following the woman many poses, Delilah and Jace were finally done and after taking a break while the other's finished up with the individual ones, everyone went outside to take the entire group one, which took a lot more effort than the other two. 

But when that was finally over, everyone was done and ready to go to dinner. Dinner was at a fancy restaurant that had was empty and had long tables together in lines. 

Making their way to their seats, they were sitting in the middle of the tables. Delilah was sitting in between Scarlett and Savannah and Jace was once again sitting across from her. Standing up to give his speech as the president of their frat club, Jace gathered everyone's attention immediately. 

Although he was always so carefree and always making jokes around Delilah, she realized that people respected him a lot. It was nice to see that side of him too. Even though he was always the light hearted one, he could be serious at moments to and at those moments, everyone was attentive and respectful.

After his speech, everyone clapped and cheered. Delilah had a smug look on her face as he sat down and gazed at her. 

"What?" Jace raised a questioning brow and smirked.

Shaking her head, Delilah replied back, "Nothing."

As the waiter's came and took everyone's order, the restaurant suddenly got rowdier as another group of student's who Delilah guessed were also having their frat formal, came into the restaurant. The two fraternity's stared at the other in coincidence, it looked like the two didn't know the other was going to be here at the same restaurant. Delilah noticed that the other fraternity was a bit smaller than theirs. 

As they were getting seated, some of the guys walked over to their long table that seated Jace's whole frat brothers. Delilah guessed Jace knew some of them as they came over to shake hands. 

"Sullivan, you guys are here too? What a coincidence."

Jace teasingly smiled and said. "Tell me about it. I should've told the owners to cancel you guys, I didn't want to be seeing your faces." 

"Ahh, get out of here man. Where are you guys staying by the way?"

"Acqualina."

"No way, man. We're just a few blocks down from you guys."

Jace laughed, "You guys need to stop following me."

The guy laughed, patted Jace's shoulder's, and then went back to his table. 

Right then, the food came and Delilah was so grateful for she was starving. Taking all those pictures earlier exhausted her. Her steak looked amazing as she dug in.

Delilah saw that there was still more people coming in from the other frat. Curious as to who they were, Delilah turned to Savannah who would probably know the answer and asked, "What school are they from?" 

Savannah was taking a sip of her wine as she replied, "Yale. We went to high school with some of those guys."

Nodding, Delilah went back to eating her steak as she heard a girl squeal in delight. Hearing the loud high heel footsteps, coming towards them, Delilah looked up and her heart stopped at who she saw in front of her.
