I am taken

Late august 2022

My boyfriend called me late night saying, "Do you want to come at Weston's tomorrow?".
Deep down I felt weird about going again with his friends, but from another perspective I told myself it's good to spend a good time with my boyfriend, if his friend invited me twice, it shouldn't bother him. But I thought about it all night, do I really want to go ? How should I behave ?

I got into the car around 9 am, I was low key happy but deep down I was stressed, I was constantly controlling myself, thinking about every single move. I wanted to impress, I wanted everyone to think I was nice.

We arrived there, the weather was stunning and the sea was cristal clear. How could it be better ?

I sat down quietly, and I was recording a video as always, when Weston sat down next to me. "Always on your phone" he said, I looked up at him, I could see his little smile, and the sun was shining on his face making his green eyes stand out. " I love it here, I was taking some memories" I responded with a shy voice. "I am glad you're enjoying, you should come more often then."
I laughed, he looked down, giggled and looked up in my eyes. I left. It was really awkward.

As I was leaving I almost tripped and my phone fell in the grass, I leaned down to get it, when I saw my boyfriend in front of me. "You seem so lost what happened? Relax, you must be comfortable with them now." I didn't know if should tell him or just forget about it, after all, nothing happened. " I am okay. But you know, I just met these people, I am still shy." He grabbed me from my waist, I looked up, but I couldn't look in his eyes, and then I leaned on his chest. His hands started cuddling my hair and I felt better instantly.

I thought that I would never see Weston again and that after all, I should really forget about him, because it doesn't matter how often I get to see him, I am leaving in September and will probably never see him again until at least next summer.
