Twin Grier

claire;

for the next couple weeks, me and Wesley would go on dates. we went to Coney island, Central Park, times square and other places.

I was keeping track and we had gone on a total of 6 dates. each one was better than the last and he was the only thing on my mind.

eventually, Nash found out about us going on dates and he wasn't really talking to me. only when he was forced to by my dad.

Will wasn't on board either, but he didn't ignore me like nash did. Hayes and Tyler were like best friends now and it was no surprise since Tyler played lacrosse and football at his middle school.

Tyler, Hayes and Wesley also hit it off and, again, are best Bros or whatever guys call it. mallory and lulu felt more comfortable talking and being themselves around the other girls and it made me so happy to see them all becoming friends.

everyone was getting ready to go to new York City to visit the empire state building. i didn't really wanna go because i have a fear of heights. but everyone else was going and i didn't wanna be here alone.

i went with ripped jeans, adidas shoes, and a simple black shirt. I grabbed my phone and headed downstairs in the living room where everyone was waiting for the cars to get here.

I sat next to Taylor, with the bandana. "hey, are you excited?" he asked. "no not really. I'm more scared." I said. "why?" I sighed. "because I have a fear of heights and its embarrassing. I've never told anyone." I whisper to him.

"well I am honored. so, you have a boyfriend?" he asked. I was surprised when he asked me that. "no, not at the moment." he nodded. "good to know."

when the cars arrived, we got in and we left. upon arriving and getting out, Wesley pulled me to the side. "so what were you and Taylor talking about?" he asked.

"oh nothing. just how our summer is going." I lied. "really? cause you whispered something to him." I looked at him and could see his face was full of jealousy. it may be wrong, but it made me happy.

his jaw was clenched. "are you jealous?" I asked. "what? no. why would I be jealous?" he said. "aww, Wesley is jealous. that's so sweet." I say putting my hand on my chest.

"ok maybe." he said. I laughed. we went inside and we took in all the glory. everyone immediately wanted to go to the top while I just wanted to stay here. we ended up going all the way up.

when the elevator doors opened, they all rushed out to look at the view and take pictures. I tried to go towards the window but I just couldn't.

my hands started to sweat and i got really nervous. I really hate it. I ended up walking towards the window and me being stupid, I looked down.

my head started to spin and I couldn't take it and I just lost my strength and I think I fainted or blacked out. I honestly don't remember.

when I woke up, I was back in my room on the bed. none of the girls were in there. I saw someone laying on the floor and I got up to see who it was.

I ended up losing my balance and falling on top of them. it turned out to be Wesley. "Claire. you're up." he said. "yeah. sorry for this awkward position." I got up and so did he.

"where is everyone?" I asked sitting on the bed. he sat next to me. "after you fainted, I offered to take you home. your dad let me. they're still there. you were passed out for less than a minute and woke up and then fell asleep on my lap." he explained.

"well, what do you wanna do?" I asked. he got the biggest smirk I've ever seen on his face. "put your swimsuit on. we're going to the lake!" he ran out and left to change.

I didn't know if I should put on a two piece or a whole body. I didn't want him to think I was showing off if I put a 2 piece on. in the end, I decided to go with a 2 piece because I realized I hadn't packed any of my one pieces.

it was a very light blue 2 piece and I put a baggy sweater over the whole thing. I grabbed my towel, sandals and my phone and headed outside towards the little board walk that extends out towards the lake.

I took my sandals off, sat down on the edge and dipped my feet inside. "doesn't it feel nice?" Wesley asked. I nodded my head. he sat down next to me and also dipped his feet in.

he hadn't taken his shirt off and I was nervous for when he was going to take it off. I was nervous to take my sweater off. "well" he said as he got up,"I think the water's warm enough. I'm getting in."

I didn't watch as he took his shirt off and instead just stared at the water. he didn't give me a warning and jumped in, getting my sweater all wet. "wesley!" I gasped getting up.

"I'm so gonna get you back." I said. "how? you can't catch me." he said. i finally took my sweater off and jumped in. when i reached the surface, i didn't see him anywhere. i felt hands on my hips and turned around to see wesley.

"you scared me!" i slapped his chest. "ow. at least you got me back now." he shrugs. we swim around some more until we get tired. "even though i fainted, i still had a good day." i say.

"me too. but there's something i've wanted to ask you for so long." he says. "we've known each other since the beginning of the year, we've gone on some dates, so i think it's an appropriate time to ask. will you be my girlfriend?" he asks. (ahhhhhhhhh lmao)

"yes! a million times yes!" i say feeling my heart beat so fast. i give him a little kiss and with that we head back to the house and change.
