Chapter 40.
Wesley asked me out on a date, the moment I was about to leave his car. I said yes and now he can't stop staring, as we both sit in the living room, listening to Aiden lecture us about safety and how important it is, for Wesley to bring me home back in time.
I think Aiden has lost himself in his lecture, and is enjoying acting as the parent right now, a little way too much.
I turn to look at Wesley, who's still staring. He looks almost dumbstruck.
" Are you guys even listening to me?" Aiden says.
" Yeah, she's so beautiful." Wesley mumbles, his eyes still transfixed on me.
I raise my brow at what he's just said. I don't think he realizes that he spoke out loud.
I snicker, when Aiden hits Wesley upside the head, snapping him out of whatever trance, he'd gotten stuck in.
" Uh, I mean, yeah, you said I should bring her back home at 10."
" Isn't that a bit too early?" I ask.
Aiden's head snaps to me, wearing a look that asks if I'm really asking this. I hold his gaze, raising my brow.
" It's a normal question, I don't see a problem."
" And what would take you so long, to surpass 10?"
I shrug. " Anything. Maybe it might just be the same thing that makes you stay overnight, at Ingrid's place."
Aiden's lips part as he blinks at me.
" Okay, we have to go now, come on Wesley." I quickly get off the stool, before dragging Wesley towards the exit.
" Wait, wait. We are not done here!" Aiden protests, following us.
" Yes we are, don't delay us Aiden!"
" Oh, look who's eager, on her very first date." I swear that both Wesley and I freeze by the door.
' Why did he just say that?'
I can't believe Aiden said that, he literally just exposed me infront of Wesley. I turn to glare at Aiden, who gives me a nervous smile.
" Aiden, shut up."
" I'm just letting Wesley know that it's a special night for you, I mean, you've never even had your first kiss or -----------"
" Stop." I groan out, facepalming myself.
" Okay, I'll stop now."
I shake my head before walking out of the house, with my reddened face.
Gosh, I'm so embarassed.
Why did Aiden have to embarass me like that?.....I really should punch him in the face when I return.
" So, this is really your first date?" I stop in my tracks.
Wesley, please don't..........
" Chloe?"
I sigh, turning around to face him.
" What does it matter anyway?" I ask, totally avoiding his eyes.
" It matters to me."
" Why?" I roll my eyes.
" Because then, I have to make it really special for you." My eyes snap to him.
" What?"
He walks towards me, closing the distance between us.
" Yeah, I want tonight to be really special for you."
" Wesley, you don't have to go through so much trouble, you know that I'm never fussy or picky."
" I know that."
" Then get that whole ' I want to work hard to impress me' thought, out of your mind, let's just enjoy ourselves tonight. We're going on a date, not a ----------"
I'm cut off by him pulling me to his chest. His hand touches my face and he looks into my eyes.
" Wesley?" I let out in a whisper.
" Is it crazy to feel really smug about being the first guy to take you out?"
I don't answer but blink up at him, not having any response to what he just said. The glimpse in his eyes has struck me speechless.
" Chloe James, I want to tell you right now, that I intend to be your first and last guy." He leans in and pecks my cheek, before walking past me.
His words cause my heart to skip a beat, because I could see it in his eyes that he believes in what he has just said. I shake my head slightly, before following him to his car, where he is already waiting for me by the opened door.
I stop short of entering and just look at him.
When I got my first look at him, in really nice jeans and a buttoned down shirt, along with a blazer and new hair cut, he really caught my attention for quite some time.
He even came with a beautiful bouquet of flowers and I felt spoilt, just by how full my hand felt. My stomach surely did weird flips because of how he couldn't stop staring at me, not to mention with what he has just told me.
I have a feeling tonight, that Wesley Adams will have a greater feeling, on my feelings. I give him a small smile before turning to enter the car, but I feel his hand on my arm, stopping me. " Chloe."
I glance at him.
" Did I tell you how beautiful you look tonight?"
" Hmm, I think you did." I say teasingly, before winking at him.
I enter the car and after a few seconds of him just looking at me, he closes the door and walks over to his side, finally joining me and we drive off.
Along the drive, he entwines our hands and brings mine to his lips.
" Someone has tuned on their romantic side today." I tease him.
He smirks at me. " Maybe I'm trying to turn on yours."
I laugh, shaking my head.
" Don't get disappointed when you find none, at the end of tonight." I shrug.
" Oh, didn't I tell you that today is the starting point?" I raise my brows at this. " I plan on finding it and then bringing it out. You can't hide your affection then." He says smugly.
" I dont know, whether to be afraid of you or to admire your determination."
He throws a wink at me, making me chuckle.
" Oh gosh, someone wants to spoil my nature." I groan out playfully, making him to burst out laughing.
The drive doesn't take long because I'm told that where we first head to, will be our first stop. He takes me to a small pastry place, that has the most delicious food on display. My stomach speaks out first with its grumbling, before I can. We order something, both of us daring each other to try out something we have never eaten before.
We surely are not disappointed and we even exchange food, because I was the one who now wanted his. He laughed at me as I pretty much stuffed my face, because of how delicious it was. I had thrown a small playfull glare his way, when he suddenly took pictures of me and his response was, that he had every right to take pictures of his girl.
I could only roll my eyes at him.
Our next stop was my biggest surprise, yet to many, it might have seemed simple. He took me rollerskating and actually, hired the whole place. I couldn't help the blush from painting my face, when he said that he wanted us to have privacy, and that he wanted my attention to be on him and him alone.
It was fun and I felt like a kid again. We even tried dancing to some of the songs, but we almost fell a couple of times. He made sure to hold me throughout that moment and I couldn't help myself, but make out with him. He looked so darn cute.
I felt carefree and enjoyed myself. It was good to not worry about anything for once, and to feel like a normal teen, out on a date with a guy.
I had resigned to the fact that Wesley Adams had full on intentions, to compliment me every chance he got. So I let him be.
Some time later, he sits down on the chair next to mine and says, " I really am tempted to take another picture of you."
" You've taken enough, stop." I narrow my eyes at him.
A small cute frown takes over his face.
" No, that's not true. I want more."
" But you're looking at me right now." I say incredulously.
" I am, aren't I?" He mumbles, leaning close to me.
"Are you trying to kiss me again?"
" Maybe."
I smirk, when I turn my face away in time and his lips touch my cheek. He groans in protest, knowing that I won't give him what he wants.
" Chloe ----------"
" I'm still eating." I say in amusement, eating my ice cream.
" Can't you do it after?"
" No."
" You're so mean." He mumbles.
" I thought I was beautiful, according to you."
" You are, but mean beautiful."
I burst out laughing, shaking my head.
Wesley had made a final stop at his mom's cabin and a romantic dinner setting, had been presented. I have never felt as special as I did, when I saw Ms Maria coming out of the cabin, and I found about her, volunteering to help Wesley out with tonight.
She made sure that while we drove around, she would set everything up, per Wesley's idea and instruction. It was quite cute to see Wesley blush, as Ms Maria teased him for being fussy over this date.
She had left with an uber and we were left with the cabin, dinner was certainly delicious and we've spent time, chatting and having a great time. Though I teased him for most of the time.
He let me know about his mom's condition, and that there's been small signs, which have kept him in positive spirit. He told me that he actually had another chat with his dad before the date, that he pretty much advised Wesley on how to treat a lady, and to show me a great time, that I wouldn't even think about any other guy.
Listening to him has also placed me in good spirit and I like that. I am receiving so many good vibes from him and it's making the date be the best, though it's my first.
" So, you really beat up Amber ?" He asks as we make our way to the living room.
" No, we just had a civilized conversation, that's all." I shrug.
" Yeah, right." He scoffs.
We settle down on the couch and he pulls my legs ontop of his lap.
" Believe what you want, Wesley Adams."
" You're right, I will."
I shake my head, continuing with eating my ice cream. I feel his eyes remain on me. " I'm not sharing with you."
" But I'm your date."
I shake my head no, my lips curving up into a smile.
He playfully rolls his eyes.
Feeling mighty generous, I feed him.
When he smiles at me, I playfully roll my eyes too, before saying, " I was feeling generous."
" Just admit that you like me way too much." He wiggles his brows, his tone teasing.
" I like you way too much." I suddenly say and his eyes snap to me.
His whole demeanor has changed and he blinks at me, really taking in my words.
Feeling the change in the room, I remove my legs and place the bowl aside. Rising to my feet, I say, " I, uh, should wash this, it's getting - aah!!"
A gasp slips out when I'm pulled back down, resulting in me
landing ontop of him.
Trying to get off him and pull myself up doesn't work, because he wraps his arms around me, now keeping me in place.
" I've been trying to get your attention." He tells me.
" You've had it."
" No, now I do."
" I don't understand what you're trying to say."
" No?"
I shake my head no.
" When you give me your eyes, then I know you see me. Right now, I have your attention and that's good enough for me."
My heart flips and I feel a whole lot of nerves, invading my space.
" You're quite demanding tonight."
" There is no other way. I wanted your attention and now I've got it."
" So then, what are you going to do about it?" I mumble, my eyes daringly keeping eye contact.
" I'm going to do the one thing I wanted to do, the moment I really opened up my eyes and saw you."
" What is that?" I whisper out, feeling slightly dizzy from staring into his eyes for too long.
" Be my girl."
" W-what?" I try to lean back but he tightens his hold on me.
" Chloe Ann James, please be my girlfriend, be my girl."
My lips part and I feel speechless.
He is so darn serious and he was right, that he's got my full attention. I can't escape tonight, not that I want to, because deep inside, I'm giving him my full attention.
" You know that I'm not letting you go, until you give me an answer, right?"
" I know."
" I mean the answer that I want."
" I know."
" But just so you know, I'm not forcing you or anything."
" Uh huh." I nod, holding in my laughter.
" Good, because I really really want you to say yes right now."
" I know."
" Then say it. Say that you will be my girlfriend."
" And why should I?....I think I like being your friend." I say, playfully frowning and deciding to tease him a little bit.
" What do you mean why?"
" Just like that, why?"
He huffs before narrowing his eyes at me.
An amused smile takes over my face.
" Well, it's pretty obvious."
" What is?"
" That my heart chose you. "
My smile drops and I search his eyes for the truth, I feel like my heart will leap out of my chest when I find the truth in them.
" I might have been the first guy to take you out on a date tonight, but to me, Chloe Ann James, you are the first that my heart has chosen. My heart is yours. So now Chloe Ann James, will you be my girlfriend?......I mean my first and last?"
I nod my yes.
" Yes." I seal the deal with a kiss, because I've been really tempted to kiss him.
He said it and I believe it. His truth reached my heart and broke through my protective shield.
Now I'm at peace with the knowledge, that his heart is mine.
