Two weeks on from our record setting valentine’s gala, Claybourne stories is proud to give you a special follow up piece. This piece will follow our wonderful bidders on their dates and give you (the reader) a juicy insight on those date’s you couldn’t quite afford. 

Click below for the juicy details. 

Beck Cross

The handsome and wild Beck Cross was won by none other then Parker Halles - the least interesting of the Halles siblings. The pair were spotted in Pete’s grabbing a few drinks. All we can say is it looked like an expensive Tuesday night for Mr Halles. 

Percy Lucy

The underdog of the evening (Dallon Moran) bagged himself quite the evening when he won himself a date with precious Percy. We aren’t quite sure how he could afford that $600 price tag? The pair were seen getting rather close in the arcade and potentially later on in Percy’s bedroom..... It’s quite unfortunate she doesn’t seem to have heard from him since. 

Eden Chester

If we had any doubt that Eden was a social climber, we now know it’s true. The apparently completely platonic date took place at a local art gallery. It seems Miss Chester has finally weaselled her way into the Halles world. 

Eliza Thompson

Beck seemed determined to make this a good date. He took her sailing virginity and promised to show her the ropes. 

Kai Westerfield 

Percy put thousands on the pretty bartender to bag that date and surprisingly, it ended up being pretty innocent by Claybourne standards. Percy tried to wine and dine the boy, though Kai had his own idea and took little miss rich girl bowling. Even more surprising, she had fun eating burgers and putting her hand into those balls. Bet she didn't think that would be her best date. 

Nate Dolan

Everything seemed to be going perfectly for this match made in heaven. But then Percy found out how much she was really worth to Mr Dolan... Miss Luby made her feelings known. Truth is we’re 100% on Percy’s side with this one. Justice for Percy. 

Parker Halles

Parker didn't seem all that enamoured by the gala but many say he did it for his sister. Ironically it was her enemy Ariella that bid a hefty sum on the pretty blonde Halles man. Though she didn't wine and dine him at some fancy Halles approved restaurant, instead she took the older man roller skating. Parker even held his own, though it had been 30 years since he'd been on wheels. I wonder if Ariella took a picture, we just might have to ask her for it. 

Patrick Persuad

Everyone held their breath when it was announced that Patrick was won by his ex. But instead of breaking our hearts, they were all melted when the date turned into a home made picnic from his four year old. 

Katerina De La Cruz

Kat and Nate were spotted in Coral Brews having a close discussion in the relaxed atmosphere. Our inside source shares that their tongues may have even tied when the time came to say goodbye.

Pairing: Dallon Weekes x Female Reader Rating: General Requested By: None Word Count: ~2,400 Author’s Note: This is a sequel to the Valentine's Day Challenge story I wrote for Dallon. Poor thing was the only one without a happy ending! And back when I was searching for prompts for the challenge I found this: "The touches started lightly, a whisper of fingers across the curve of a spine, the promise of lips against a throat, the flutter of hands at hips. You were entirely mine." and I decided that Dallon deserved better (I mean when doesn't he?) so I sat on this idea for a few months. Then I had the privilege of meeting the most gorgeous man in music (imo) and was inspired to actually work on this damn thing. Also when I met him he put his arm around my shoulder, just like I describe below (also there's photographic proof lol) and so of course I included it 😍 Ok, I've rambled WAY too long, here we go.

It took longer than you expected, but Dallon and Ryan had finally decided on a record label to sign with, and set a release date for 1981 Extended Play, the album you helped them produce. And now, almost sooner than you expected, you found yourself at the release party for said album.

Ryan had insisted you come, as the album wouldn't exist without you he explained even though Dallon and you had barely spoke since the meeting on Valentine's Day when he kissed you and you pushed him away. It was all his damn fault. Everything was always his fault.

Except when it wasn't.

Now you were walking in the door to the party with your best cocktail dress on that had your entire back exposed and your most comfortable heels and feeling pretty good about yourself. When you walked in, you found a few familiar faces and made small talk as the album you helped craft played in the background. Before you knew it, you spotted some blue hair in the crowd and Ryan was coming over to you.

"Ugh Ryan it's so good to see you!" You exclaimed as you wrapped him in a big hug.

"I'm glad you made it; I know how things... are? Were?" He asked cautiously as the other people excused themselves.

"Yea, it's ok. I wasn't mad. It's just... better this way."

"You don't sound convinced." You gave Ryan a withering glance. "Ok, maybe I'm just imagining things then," he replied defensively, holding up both hands.

You rolled your eyes. “I’m gonna go grab something to drink,” you said excusing yourself. As you stood by the bar, waiting for the bartender to notice you, you felt someone walk up behind you.

“Hey,” the familiar voice said. You squeezed your eyes shut for a moment before you turned around.

“Hey Dallon,” you replied.

“Thanks for coming tonight, this wouldn’t be possible without you,” he said leaning in slightly.

“Of course. I’m proud of how the record turned out, and you guys are finally gonna break because of it,” you responded politely. He smiled and you couldn’t help but smile back at him. Maybe Ryan had seen right through you, and you weren’t convinced that you handled things correctly. No.

Ryan was right.

“You look very nice tonight as well,” he said much more quietly, almost at a whisper right into your ear. Your stomach did a flip involuntarily.

“Thank you, you don’t look half bad yourself.”

“Hey Dallon,” Ryan said approaching you both. Dallon took a step back so he was standing next to you. “The guys from Fearless are gonna say a few words and they want us up there.”

“Cool,” Dallon replied as his hand found your lower back. You tried not to jump in surprise at the sensation. You didn’t even bother chasing away the thoughts of how good it felt to have his skin on yours again. Dallon glanced over at you and gave you a slight smirk and you rolled your eyes. “Right now?”

“Yea, I guess so,” Ryan replied as he turned and headed toward where the people were waiting.

The next thing you knew, the sensation of Dallon running his fingertips up your spine sent a shiver over your whole body, and you tried not to audibly gasp with surprise and excitement.

“Don’t run off,” Dallon said as he followed Ryan toward the stage. A grin spreading across his face when he saw the look on your face.

“What can I get for you?” you heard the bartender ask.

“Water,” you replied quickly. You needed to keep your wits about you.

~

After the speeches concluded, you found yourself talking to a few people, but you had an eye on the tall singer. It seemed as if he was doing the same to you from across the room.

The last few months you spent a lot of time thinking about the events that took place on Valentine’s Day. You had invited him over, and just like clockwork, you found yourself falling into his spell. The way he spoke was like magic, pulling you in. It was always like that, until you found yourself not talking when he was gone. Maybe the timing was wrong before. Maybe it could have been right in February, but you didn’t want to get hurt again. Maybe you just needed to let your walls down just a little more. Maybe it was too late. Maybe it wasn’t.

You realized you had let yourself get lost in your thoughts and pulled yourself back into the conversation that you had been ignoring, smiling politely and tried to remember what they were discussing. A few minutes later you felt a hand on the side of your arm as it wrapped around you, before it slid up to the base of your neck. You immediately recognized the gesture before you even looked up at Dallon standing next to you.

“Hey, (YN), there’s a reporter that wanted to ask you a few questions about the album.”

You furrowed your brow at him, you weren’t aware of any press being here, let alone that anyone would want to talk to you, but you followed him away from the group and around the corner.

“So that was a lie,” you said snidely as you realized that he was just getting you alone. Not that you minded.

“I didn’t know if you’d come along if I just asked you to talk,” he replied running his hand through his hair. “I’ve been thinking, a lot, and (YN), I’m sorry. I’m sorry for what I said all those years ago, I’m sorry I ended things the way I did. I’m sorry for kissing you like that a few months ago, but I don’t regret it, not for one second.”

You looked up into his eyes and they were conveyed an honesty and sincerity that tugged at your heart. You hardly noticed as his hands found their way to your waist. 

“I told myself never again,” you started, and his face began to fall. “But I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t been thinking about you, about us since then, and regretting how I left it. Truthfully, I was so afraid of you hurting me again.”

“(YN), I don’t want hurt you again. I’m not the same man I was back then.”

“You are, but only in the best ways,” you said before reaching up and pulling him to you, your lips against his and you could feel him smile as his grip on your waist tightened. You wrapped your arms around his neck and leaned into him. It was true, the best parts of him were still there, and you believed him when he said that he had grown up since you had last broken up. You had too.

“Oh shit,” you heard someone mumble and you both pulled back to see Ryan hightailing it out of the corridor you had been hiding in.

You laughed as you unwrapped your arms from around Dallon. “So… we’re giving this another try?”

“(YN), I love you. I always have and I always will. I want to give you my all,” he said, looking into your eyes again, pleadingly.

“I love you too Dallon. Present tense,” you said with a smile.

“What?” he asked, a confused look on his face.

“Never mind, let’s just get back out there,” you laughed.

“Wanna go out after this?” He asked as he ran his fingers up your spine again, goosebumps forming on your skin all over again.

You nodded with a smile and turned to go, but he grabbed your wrist just before you rounded the corner, pulling you back to him. His lips were on yours again, then ghosting against your neck as he murmured “I’m so glad you’re mine again.”

“I’m so glad to be yours again.”
