Mine // Sam Wilkinson

Part // VI

Claire’s POV

The show just ended and Emma and I are waiting for the boys outside their tour bus. Scott and Cody came out first.

“You sure you’re ready for this, Claire?”

“Huh?”

“You’re going on a date with Sam Wilkinson,” he sighed, “I’m not trying to assume things, but there were fifteen hundred other girls out there and he chose you to go on a date with. You better watch what happens tonight. I don’t want you doing something you might regret later on.”

I looked at him confused, then at Emma who must’ve been thinking the same as me.

Scott sighed again, “You’re barely sixteen, and he’s what? Nineteen? Just be careful. That goes for both of you.” He gave Emma and me both hugs, “I’ll have my phone on me at all times. Don’t hesitate if you feel uncomfortable or need out of a something. I love you, both.”

“We love you, too.”

The other featured guests appeared outside after Scott and Cody disappeared. Emma and I made small talk as arms snaked their way around my waist and lips made their way to my cheek.

“Hey, beautiful,” Sam looked at the group of people were talking to and then looked at Nate who had his arms around Emma also.

“You guys about ready? It’s getting late and I don’t want your brother to freak out if it gets too late.”

Emma and I nodded simultaneously and headed to Sam’s car.

“I’d just like to get you both know that your date is completely a surprise. But before we get to that part, we’re taking you to a little dinner.” Sam and Nate both opened the doors for us to get into the backseat.

As we started driving, I got a text from Emma.

Emma: Can you believe this?

Claire: No, but stay calm. The last thing we need is for them to think we’re only fangirls.

Emma: Where do you think we’re going? I don’t even recognize where we are.

Claire: Maybe we’re lost… or a detour?

Emma: What if they’re kidnapping us like in the movies….

Claire: Calm down… I doubt they’re smart enough for that.

We turned into a parking lot of a park. The walkway to the gazebo was lit up all the way around the pond. It was the most beautiful thing.

Emma and I got out of the car, just looking back between the park and each other.

Did they do this just for us?
