It was a sunny morning in Costa Verde and Claire ad just got up to get ready for school.
"Morning, mom" she said coming downstairs and ready to leave.
"Good morning, dear" Sandra replied "do you need me to drive you to school?"
"No, thanks, it's a lovely day, I'm just going to walk" Claire said giving her mom a hug goodbye and heading to the front door.
She was halfway to school when she saw a big silhouette in the sky, it was coming down to her and she had already realized it was West, he landed just in front of her.
"Hi, flying boy!" she said putting her hand on his waist.
"Hello, cheerleader!" he responded in the same tone "can I walk you or do you want to fly?"
"I think I rather walk, we almost never walk together, we can fly back home, what do you think?"
"Good idea" he said and took Claire's hand to walk to school.
They got to Costa Verde High and went to class, at lunch break; Claire went to the girl's bathroom where she met May.
"Claire, can I ask you something?" May asked as both the girls fixed their hair looking at themselves on the mirror.
"Sure, what is it?"
"What's up with you and West? I saw you two arrived together, holding hands…" May was curious.
"We are together, he is my boyfriend" Claire responded with a big smile on her face.
"Awww, that's so good! You are sooo cute together!!" May smiled.
"Well, thanks, May!!" Claire said, turning a bit red…
The girls came out of the bathroom and went to have lunch, Claire sat next to West and May went to sit with the other cheerleaders.
"Why is she looking at us?" he asked referring to May.
"She thinks we are cute together" Claire answered.
"Well of course we are" he leaned over to kiss her.
After all classes of the day were over, the couple walked to the back of the football field to fly off but they haven't noticed that it wasn't so sunny anymore.
"West, I think it's going to rain, look at the sky" Claire said concerned, looking up.
"Babe, this is supposed to be 'sunny California', it's not going to rain" he said putting his hands on her hip "don't worry" he added.
They took off from the ground but a few minutes later, the rain started to pour. West flew horizontally, trying to protect Claire from the rain, he ended up soaking wet. When they arrived to her house, he was shivering.
"So much for 'sunny California', right?" He joked.
"You are so wet, I'll get you a towel" she said worrying about her boyfriend. He sat on a chair in the kitchen and waited for her to come back downstairs.
"Here, dry of your hair at least" she said handing him a pink towel. Claire couldn't find her mom in the house, so she called her cell.
"Mom, where are you?"
"I'm at the mall with your brother, we are about to go in to the movies, what about you?" asked Sandra.
"I'm home, what are you watching?"
"Oh, I don't know, your brother picked the movie, I'm sure it's got something to do with zombies. Anyway, are you alone?"
"No, West is with me, he flew me home"
"Oh, honey, he is not going to fly in this rain! I'll grab dinner here with Lyle, why don't you guys order a pizza? I have to go; the movie is going to start."
"Ok, mom, thanks, I'll see you later"
"Bye, dear" Claire hanged up and saw that West was standing behind her, drying his hair with the towel she gave him.
"Come here" she said and took off his sweater to hang it on the back of a chair "your clothes are all wet, baby" she added touching his chest.
"Well, I think we can get to an agreement" he teased.
"I think you should have a hot shower, what do you say?"
"I say I like the idea, but you are coming with me" he grinned.
"Am I?" she replied playfully as he took off her t-shirt. Kissing him, Claire took him upstairs to her shower.
After the warm bath, Claire and West got dressed again and laid on the couch, watching TV and waiting for the pizza. He was laying with his back on the sofa and had her head resting on his chest.
"I can hear you heart beat" she said burring her head between his arms, thinking how great she fitted in there.
"You do? How's it sound?" he joked.
"Sounds a lot like love" she responded smiling up at him.
"Of course it sounds like love, Claire, I love you, I love everything about you and with all my heart, the one you hear beating right now" the boy said and finally kissed her.
"West, I love you too, I love every inch of you" she reached up to his lips when the doorbell ringed, it was the pizza guy. They both sat up and ate, watching a movie. When they finished dinner, they laid on the sofa again and fell asleep, it had became night.
Sandra and Lyle arrived home, she saw them on the couch and putted a blanket on them, leaving them to spend the night together, sleeping there.
