date night

tuesday, august 21st

song: obsession by vice (ft. jon bellion)

i woke up to my phone buzzing on my bedside table. the fuck?

wes- hey syd, i haven't seen you in forever. i miss you 😖

me- i know i've just been busy lately i miss you too

wes- dinner tonight?

syd- of course!

wes- cool, i'll pick you up at 8... can't wait to see your beautiful face

i blushed at the sudden affection i was receiving. no guy has really ever liked me the way wes does. it felt, exhilarating, like i was constantly on a high. i smiled at myself and got out of bed. i got dressed and went downstairs to eat breakfast. my mom was sitting at the table, drinking coffee.

"hey mom." i spoke as i grabbed a bowl for my cereal.

"good morning syd." she glanced up to me then back down to her book. i finished making my cereal and sat down across from her. "so how did you think the dinner went?"

"okay, why do you ask?" i took a bite of my cereal. she sighed and looked up from her book.

"i don't fit in with them. i wish i could give your father that lifestyle, that feeling, but i can't. i'm not like kimberly."

"mom," i took her hand in mine, "i felt the same about amber, till grayson told me it didn't matter of possessions. it matters about what's in you, who you are, what you do. you know dad loves you, he always has." she smiled and squeezed my hand. "i have a date with wes tonight." i blurted out trying to lighten the mood. her head shot up and looked into my eyes.

"wes flynn? aww that's so cute!" she and i laughed. i finished my food and went upstairs to my room. i flopped onto my bed and pulled out my phone. dry. i had 10 hours till my date with wes. i decided to phone grayson and see if i could come over.

g- "hey"
s- "hey, can i come over today. i'm bored and we need to talk!"
g- "sure, 1 hour?"
s- "okay 1 hour!"
g- "great see you then"

i got up and showered so i didn't smell weird. once i was finished showering i threw on some shorts and a tee and my vans. once my hair was in a high ponytail i left my room.

"mom i'm gonna go to the dolans, i'll see you later!" she said okay and i left. i walked across the street and into the house, which was unlocked.

"sydney? is that you?" i heard lisa ask.

"yep!" i beamed while walking around the corner to the kitchen. she was fixing lunch.

"oh, it's so nice to see you!" she hugged me. "the boys are in the gym." i smiled and walked out the door. the twins had a makeshift gym in their huge shack/shed thing. i walked across the big ass lawn to the gym. i opened the door and didn't see anybody in it. i walked in further.

"ethan? grayson?" i called. no answer. i sighed about to turn around and leave when i felt two pairs of hands lightly push me to scare me.

"boo!" i hear ethan laugh.

"ew fuck off!" i laughed.

"good to see you too." grayson said walking to a place for us to sit down. i grabbed an exercise ball and sat on it, bouncing a little.

"so, what did you want to talk about?" ethan asked me. i mentally groaned at the fact that they asked this first thing.

"oh, uh well, i'm going on a date tonight." i said nonchalantly. they looked at each other.

"with who?" ethan asked enthusiastically.

"wes, obviously you dork!" gray spat hitting ethan's pec.

"yeah, i didn't really know how to announce it. i mean, y'all saw us kiss. i might actually feel something for wes guys. i've never really felt this before." i was smiling so hard my cheeks hurt. the happiness in ethan's smile faded to a sarcastic feel. "i'm sorry that it's wes, your friend, but i really can't help it." i confessed. grayson patted my knee.

"it's okay syd, really. i've seen the way wes looks at you, vice versa. go for him, we'll support you, won't we e?" we turned our focus to ethan.

"oh, sure yeah of course." he said quietly. my happiness felt a bit faker now that i felt he didn't want me and wes together. i shook it off, excited for tonight.

"i'm glad you two are okay with it. i didn't want anything to get weird between you guys." we all hugged and went inside for lunch, which was delicious.

after hanging out with the boys for a bit, i went home to get ready for the date. i wasn't sure what to wear, considering i didn't know where we were going. wes said to wear a simple dress, it was a casual place. i went downstairs and waited for wes to pick me up.

wes- i'm hereeeeeeeeee

me-yessssssss finally!

i opened my front door, saying bye to my parents on the couch, and grabbed my bag and left. i walked to wess' car and got in.

"it's good to see you." he said kissing me. i blushed and he chuckled.

"so you wanna tell me where we're going?" i asked him.

"camis."

"cool." the rest of the car ride was a bit awkward to me, we didn't really talk too much. once we got there and in the restaurant, things got better. we had a table for two by the garden windows.

"i've been thinking about you a lot." he confessed. "i cant stop thinking about the kiss. i've been waiting for that since i met you."

"i don't know what to say." i smiled.

"will you be my girlfriend?" he took my hand in his. my heart was beating so fast and i nodded my head, smiling.

"yes, of course!" he smiled really wide and kissed our hands.

the rest our date night we talked and enjoyed ourselves. afterwards he took me to the shopping center, it's more appealing than it sounds. we were walking hand in hand down the cobblestone streets, towards the grand fountain.

"i'm excited to start school with you." he blurted out.

"you always start school with me?" i chuckled.

"no, with you." he cleared up what he meant.

"oh, in that case, i am too." i leaned my head into his should as we approached the fountain. we sat on the stone rim of the fountain. he wrapped his arm around me and pulled me close. he kissed the side of my head and whispered,

"i love you sydney montgomery." my heart stopped, but not in a good way. he loves me? i smiled and kissed his cheek to make the awkwardness stop. isn't this is too soon?
