Ever since Hope had told the Crowell male that he had thirty minutes performing songs as apart of Tate's opening act, had him in his writing phase everywhere he went.
Especially when he was around the Mcrae female who made him feelings things that he hadn't felt for someone before.
"Jesse."
He hummed, looking at Tate who was sat opposite him as her hand reached over to touch Jesse's hand who smiled at her, "Are you okay?" He nods his head, "I'm good." He said when Tate looked at him, "I'm good, I promise." He reassured her, especially since he was planning on how to ask Tate to be his girlfriend.
He wanted it to be sentimental and romantic especially since he knew that Tate's past boyfriend had treated her really bad by cheating on her when he was the one to be interested in her first, "Pay attention then," Findlay said making Jesse look at the MCConnell male, "I am, just not to you Fin,"
He had mostly sad songs on his notebook since he was gonna have a session with Tate's music producer who loved Jesse, so that was the plus side for him.
Jesse smiled but stopped when he saw seafood coming to their table, their friends knew that Jesse or Tate couldn't be near seafood because of their allergies, "I—We didn't order this." Jesse told the waiter, "Someone did." The waiter said as the group around the table all shook their heads, "I'm allergic to seafood and Tate is as well, so can you please take that away." He spoke, looking away from the waiter.
The waiter walked away taking the plate of seafood away as well as Tate looked at Jesse, "I didn't know you were allergic to seafood," She spoke as Jesse nods his head, "I've always been allergic to seafood since I was like younger, I didn't know I was until like about seven, and my dad tried giving me a prawn, and my face and throat swelled up," He admitted, remembering the moment, "I almost died." He told Tate who looked at him.
The two talked about their allergies as Tate was also allergic to hay which she was in due to her music video forgetting that she was allergic to hay, which meant having to take her epipen with her in case something happened.

Jesse held Tate's hand in his as the two walked on the beach, both of them having their shoes in their other hand, letting the sand go in between their feet.
"I have this song that I've been working on for a long time now," He stated as they walked, "And I wanted to share it with you because I think it'd work better as a duet," He admitted with a smile as Tate looked at him, "Can I hear it?"
Jesse hummed as he let go of Tate's hand taking his phone out of his pocket, where he played Tate the voice memo of him playing the piano, including some beats as he sang.
Jesse smiled, "So this will be your bit," He said looking at Tate, "Maybe this time, we do it for real, nothing to lose, why don't we try, life doesn't wait and it kinda feels like the last chance to get it right,"
"My part— A roll of the dice, shot in the dark, everything's changing, can't you tell, it's all about us, so let's just— This is where you join in with me," He said as they both sang, "keep this to ourselves,"
Tate smiled when hearing the song, "The future's gonna do what it wants to, but maybe this time." They sang together as Jesse had airdropped Tate the lyrics, "Let's live in the moment, letting go but also holding onto hope, that it'll all work out fine, for you and i, maybe this, maybe this time. Wherever we're headed, I don't wanna miss a second, if the lesson is to enjoy the ride—" They sang carrying the ride part out, "I'll try, maybe this, maybe this time."
Jesse stopped his voice memo looking at Tate who was impressed, as she read over what Jesse had written, "I like this," She stated, "I really like this, Jess, it's so good." She complimented as Jesse smiled.
He ran a hand through his hair, "so will you—will you be apart of it?" Tate looked into Jesse's eyes, "Yeah," Jesse smiled, "Good, cause I didn't want anyone else on i—" Tate leaned forwards, stopping Jesse as she pressed her lips against Jesse's lips whose hand dropped his shoes as his hand went up to her cheek.
Their foreheads resting against one another's as Tate pulled back from the kiss with a smile, "I really like you," He admitted as their foreheads were still against each other's, "and I wanted to know if you'd be my girlfriend," He asked as Tate pulled back from Jesse with a big smile, "Really?"
Jesse nods his head as Tate came into his arms, wrapping his arms around Tate's shoulders, with a smile, "Yes, I'll be your girlfriend," Jesse pulled back slightly, leaning down as he kissed the Mcrae female again whose hand went up to the back of his neck.
When the two pulled apart, Jesse smiled picking up his shoes again where he sees on his phone, their friends messaging their groupchat wondering how long they'd be on the beach for, "They're asking how long we're gonna be,"
"Tell them we're coming," Jesse did as said, messaging their Cabo groupchat, as he tucked his phone into his trouser pocket, holding Tate's hand again as they walked off of the sand and onto the concrete.
He was happy. Happy that Tate was now his girlfriend, he was happy that he had finally gotten the girl. The girl who he had a crush on ever since he first laid eyes on her.
