The Exchange Student

The Proposal

2 MONTHS LATER-
It's spring break right now and I'm in England! Wes invited me to spend the week at his country so I agreed and look where I am. I'm with my boyfriend in this beautiful country!

"I hope you had a good birthday yesterday." Wes said as we walked on the sidewalk and I smiled.

"I can't believe I spent my 18th birthday in this amazing country with an amazing guy." I said and he kissed me and we kept walking.

"We're both 18 but the question is what are we going to do when we get into college." Wes said as we walked into a cute little café.

"I don't know, I'll be in Stanford while you might be here." I said as we got in line and he nodded.

"I might go to UCLA or some school in the UK." Wes said to me and I sighed as I looked down at my feet.

"But let's not think of the future, let's stay in the present." Wes said and I nodded in agreement.

"I can't wait to meet your friend Dan." I said to him and he smiled.

"He's a director for a few movies, you know Plum takes over the world?" Wes asked and I nodded excitedly.

"He was assistant director for that, we've been mates ever since we were little." Wes said as we moved up in the line.

"Mates, we were mates ever since we were little." I mimicked and he rolled his eyes and I smiled and he smiled back and put his arm around me.

"I grew up in this place, my mum's dad owns this place." Wes said and I smiled at him as an old man walked out of the kitchen.

"Pap!" Wes called out and walked up to his grandpa and he pulled me along.

"Wesley! What are you doing here my boy?" His grandpa asked him.

"I'm on a holiday so I came to visit. This is my girlfriend, Tessa. Tess, this is my grandfather." Wes introduced.

"Nice to meet you." I said as I shook his hand.

"Nice to meet you Tessa, call me Arthur." Arthur said and I nodded.

"I'm meeting up with Dan so we thought we would meet up here because I wanted to see you." Wes said to him and he nodded and hugged him again.

"Gretchen! Whip up 2 strawberry smoothies and they're on the house." Arthur called out and she got to work.

"How's gran?" Wes asked.

"She's well, we've been staying with your aunt Steph for awhile. They're worried about her so we're staying with them." Arthur said as we sat down at the table.

"You can't blame aunt Steph, I'm worried sick about her every day." Wes said and Arthur sighed and he smiled.

"There's Dan, it was nice meeting you Tessa. I hope to see you again." Arthur said and I hugged him and then he hugged Wes.

"Be careful pap." He mumbled into his chest and he nodded then got back to work.

"Your grandpa is great, is that Dan?" I asked him as I pointed to a guy.

"Yup that's Dan." Wes said and he strode in wearing a white t-shirt and a slick leather jacket.

"Wesley Adams." Dan said then hugged Wes and did their little bro handshake.

"It's been too long." Dan said and he nodded in agreement.

"This is my girlfriend Tessa, Tess this is my best mate Dan." Wes said.

"Nice to meet you." I said and shook his hand.

"Ah, you picked up an American." Dan said and I don't know if it was a compliment or an insult...

"She's the best, how's Krissy?" Wes asked him and he shrugged as we got our smoothies.

"Would you like anything?" The waitress asked.

"I'd like a latte with a little swirl of cream and some milk with a Carmel drizzle and chocolate shavings and the milk has to be soy." Dan said and the waitress was dumb founded.

"Just get him a latte with some whip cream and caramel." Wes said and the waitress nodded and scurried off.

"Don't forget the chocolate shavings!" Dan shouted.

"Okay, back to Krissy." Wes said and he sighed and muttered something in French.

"I'm not in the mood, Wes." Dan said and I took a sip of my smoothie.

"You can't just keep ignoring it. Face the facts because soon the facts are gonna come back and bite you in the bum." Wes said then grabbed his smoothie and my hand and he dragged me out of the cafe.

"Yeah, I'll see you there at 8." Wes whispered into the phone as I walked in.

"I gotta go, bye." Wes said quickly then ended the call.

"Who were you talking to?" I asked him as I sat on his bed.

"My friend Phil, he invited us out to dinner with his daughter and son. His wife is in the hospital right now so he wants the kids to just get that off of their minds." Wes said as he played with his phone.

"How old is Phil?" I asked him.

"24, his wife and him had their little boy, Ollie at 16 and then had little Sierra at the age of 21." Wes said as he unlocked his phone.

"What time are we leaving?" I asked him as I looked at my watch.

"7:30, so go start getting ready." Wes said and then I kissed his cheek then left the room to my room.

I put on a long sleeve white shirt and a cute navy blue skirt that had little white stars on them. I had a long triangle necklace then a a shorter necklace with 3 triangles. I slipped on my white flats and I grabbed my leather bag then touched up my makeup real quick.

"You ready to go?" Wes asked me and I nodded and he took my hand and we walked out of the house.

"Where are we going?" I asked him as we strolled over to the car.

"We're going on a picnic near the river. It's a great area for the kids to play in and it's gorgeous at this time of year." Wes said as he started the car up.

We got to the river and we had to cross the river but in the middle of the bridge he stopped me. He knelt down and took my hands and I wanted to cry.

"Tessalynn Grey, I know we've only been dating for like 8 months now but that's all the time I need with you. Like on the Bachelor the show you love we spent time together and it feels right. I know our relationship has been full speed ahead but I feel like your the one for me. I love you so much and I want to love you for the rest of my life. Will you marry me?" Wes asked me.
