It Happened in the Motel

A Wyatt/Callie Oneshot

"You can sleep in the bed with me" I said as Wyatt threw his pillow back on the bed and plopped down. I stared at him for a few seconds before I got up and walked over to the other side of the bed and climbed under the covers.

"I can stay above the comforter...if that will make you feel more comfortable" Wyatt shifted his weight as if he was nervous and I laughed.

"It's fine, I don't mind Wyatt stop being such a dork." I pulled the comforter over both of us and Wyatt sighed and turned to face the other direction.

"Are you going to sleep in your jeans?" I rolled over so my body was facing his back. I could feel the warmth of him from being so close and it sent a little shiver down my spine. Wyatt turned to face me and when he did our noses touched, I could feel his breath against my lips and a feeling started to churn in my stomach as if a thousand moths were flapping their wings and caressing the inside of my belly.

"We shouldn't do this." Wyatt said sensing what was about to happen

"Why not?" I said feeling a little rejected

"You're into Brandon and I like you Callie...I like you a lot and I just don't want to be put in that place. I want to be your friend Callie and I don't want to take advantage of you in the state your in." He ran his hands through his hair and got out of bed to sit on the coffee table.

"What do you mean by state I am in?" I propped my head up with my arm and looked into Wyatt's eyes.

"You just ran away and you won't tell me what happened but obviously it was something bad or you wouldn't be hear."

"I kissed Brandon." I gulped and glanced down at my elbow as a small tear fell down my cheek. I heard Wyatt get up off the table and felt him sit on the bed.

"So? I thought thats what you wanted...isn't that a good thing?" The heart ache in Wyatt's voice caused me to look up and when he saw I was crying he wiped the tears from my face with his thumb.

"No it's not...because it isn't what I expected. I thought I had all these feelings for him when the truth is...I don't. Sure I liked the kiss when we were kissing but then Jude caught us-and." My heart pounded in my chest as I looked at the window on the other side of the room because I was afraid to look into Wyatt's eyes.

"As soon as I saw Jude's face I realized what I had done...I realized what a awful thing I did and how selfish I was being and all the sudden those feelings I once thought I had for Brandon were gone, they weren't genuine they were convenient. I am not used to people showing compassion towards me and he was there and..." I started to cry as images of Jude flashed through my head and then Brandon...why do I always let myself fall for Foster siblings when it always ends up hurting Jude and me?

"It's okay Callie." Wyatt pulled me up and embraced me as I cried onto his shoulder. We sat in silence with just the sound of my tears and the crickets humming outside the motel room for a good 15 seconds before I said what pained me the most.

"They were going-they were going to adopt us...I was going to have a family again." I said in a quiet voice.

"Callie-I am so-" I stopped him and grabbed his face and looked into his eyes. All this time I thought I loved Brandon when the one guy who has always had my best interest at heart was right in front of me. My heart pounded as I quietly asked him if we could just lay down.

Wyatt picked me up and put me back on my side of the bed and put me under the covers. I watched as he walked around the the other side and crawled into bed himself.

I scooted over to his side of the bed and put my head on his shoulder as he stroked my hair as I feel asleep.
