bryce~ and it completely changes the mood of things.
tess~ well of course, i mean... you could joke all you want, but bringing up people's embarrassing pasts changes from joke to shade being thrown
bryce~ are you sure you're not in the social media industry?
tess~ oh, i promise. i just... get it.
he smiles while i pop a fry in my mouth.
bryce~ did i tell you how good you look?
i take a sip of my coke.
tess~ this is your third time mentioning it.
bryce~ im just gonna keep saying it until you say it back
tess~ well then i guess im gonna keep hearing it all night.
bryce~ what, do you have plans for later?
tess~ no i, i didn't me-
bryce~ im joking. i actually have plans for later
tess~ oh. what type of plans?
bryce~ plans.
he smirks.
***
tess~ where are you taking me?
bryce~ somewhere
tess~ what's the somewhere
bryce~ don't worry about it
tess~ too late, i'm worried
bryce~ un-worry yourself. im not taking you to a field and killing you, so you can relax a little.
tess~ well that's good news.
he finally pulls into a beach parking lot.
tess~ im not dressed for the beach.
bryce~ take off yours shoes and then sure you are.
i roll my eyes as he laughs, getting out of the car. he comes around to get the door for me, while i take my shoes off. we continue talking while 'strolling' on the beach. im just ignoring the fact that he drove like 2 hours to the nearest beach.
tess~ 2 weeks from today
bryce~ you'll be 20 in 2 weeks?
tess~ i'll be 20 in 2 weeks
bryce~ im invited to the party, right?
tess~ i would but there's no party
bryce~ no party?
tess~ nope. my family always makes sure to be somewhere out of town on that day, even jenny. i usually spend time with just my cousin, melissa and her family. they get me a cupcake and we watch movies until her kids bedtime.
bryce~ you're joking!
tess~ nope.
bryce~ that's not happening this year
tess~ oh you think?
bryce~ i know. i'm kinda in your life now, so... i'm gonna do something special for you.
tess~ that's not necessary
bryce~ maybe not, but im gonna do it, anyways.
tess~ why?
he grabs me by my pocket and does the peter kavinsky spin again. we were super up close and personal.
tess~ i guess this is something we do now.
bryce~ cause i like you, that's why.
we stared at each other for a second and slowly lean in. ever since i met him....i always wondered what it would be like to kiss him. BUT I GUESS I WASN'T GONNA FIND OUT TODAY! these group of 11-13 year old girls ran up screaming 'omg it's bryce hall'. they all scream, hugging him and taking selfies.
12 year old fan~ hii
tess~ hi
12 year old fan~ do you think you can take a picture of us?
tess~ uh...sure.
they all rush over and hand me their iphone 6's. bryce and i half smile each other while i take their pictures.
i think about 15 minutes later, they finally run away. he lets out a sigh at the same time as i do. he walks up to me and grabs my hands.
bryce~ we really gotta go places where there aren't little girls groveling at me feet.
tess~ that would be nice.
bryce~ it's not that late...if you wanna come over.
tess~ sure...i wanna come over.
