Chapter One: Picture Perfect
I didn't know how long it was when Wes found me, seconds, minutes, hours? When I heard him call me name, I stood and tried to collect myself, but I couldn't, no matter how hard I tried I couldn't.
Wes wrapped his arms around me and held me tightly. I tried to pull away but his grip held firm. I couldn't do anything, I gave in, I collapsed in his arms, and I cried. I cried like the little kid I was, I cried like there was no tomorrow, I cried so much I thought I was going to dehydrate, for the first time in over a year, I cried.
I don't know how long I cried, but to me it seemed like hours before my sobs began to die down. When it came to only sniffles, Wes loosened his grip and look down at me. I wiped my tears and smiled. I could see it in his eyes; he was relieved and concerned at the same time. Even though he was smiling I could see it, he was afraid I would collapse all over again. But I was fine now, there was nothing left for me to cry about.
"You okay?"
"Perfect," I beamed. I couldn't explain it, but it was perfect. Even though I had just cried my heart out, it was perfect there in Wes' arms. I had never felt like that before, but it felt great, absolutely perfect.
He smiled again, more sincere this time, with no more worry. This time it was just love in his eyes, a burning love. We stood there completely still, ignorant of anything around us. Then suddenly, Wes leaned closer to me and kissed me.
My eyes were wide when his lips touched mine. What was… Why… wait, huh? But soon I stopped thinking and just went with it. I leaned in closer and kissed him back with everything I had left in me. It felt like I was in a whole different world with his soft lips against mine. Who knows how long the kiss lasted, but eventually I had to breathe.
We broke apart both panting, staring into each other's eyes. We smirked, I smiled, and we hugged each other like it was the last thing we'd do. "If you could do anything right now, what would you do?" he asked.
"Huh?"
"It's your winning question," he said matter-of-factly, "If you could do anything right now, what would you do?" He repeated.
"But that's the same question I asked you." I said
"So? There's no rule that I cant ask the same thing." True, there wasn't. "Well, are you gonna answer?"
"Alright, alright. If I could do anything…" He waited. "I'd do…this." And I instantly wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him, hard. Wes wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed me back with the same force plus more. This was my long awaited fairytale moment, the one I had always dreamed of while dating Jason, and now I got it, with Wes.
When we finally broke apart, he chuckled, "That's what I thought," And we both laughed.
The rest of the night was picture perfect. Avery loved me, I got to hold her more than half the time. Kristy was complaining because every time she tried to hold her, Avery would cry frantically and we'd all laugh. Delia seemed so happy, every time she looked at her baby, her eyes brightened a little more. Wes stood next to me the whole night, every now and then putting his arm around my waist or shoulder or holding my hand so no one would notice, and every time it made me smile.
But to no surprise, Kristy caught on. She looked at Wes and me with that smirk of hers and the cunning glint in her eyes, "So, that's it eh? Took long enough."
Everyone turned to her. Wes and I stared with a frantic uh-oh look. "What are you talking about, Kristy?" Delia asked. Oh Delia, don't ask.
"Oh nothing," She replied, but she was pointing to Wes and I. Kristy was always a devilish person. Everyone turned their attention to us, and immediately they understood, even Pete got it. The only person left in the blue was Bert.
"What? I don't get it." He said, and we all laughed. he complained at the laughter, asking for an explanation.
So it was out in the open now. Yep, me and Wes, public. It was then that it hit me, I still had to get it past my mother…
We stayed at the hospital the rest of the night and into the early morning. It was almost 4:00AM when I finally arrived in my driveway.
"You sure you don't want me to wait a while? You know, just in case?" He was referring to my mother, even Wes knew, my mom could be scary.
"No, it's ok. It shouldn't be that bad." Not a total lie, it won't be that bad, it will much MUCH worse.
"But-" I cut him off with a kiss. He responded quickly, kissing me back.
"Good night Wes."
He smiled that beautiful smile, that smile that we decided a few hours ago that would be my smile. "Good night beautiful."
I rolled my eyes and got out of the car. As I was unlocking my door, he scrolled down the window, "Are you sure you don't want me to-"
"Good night Wes," I said louder"
"But it would be-
"Good night Wes!" I snapped and shut the door. I would hear his laughter on the other side. And I smiled to myself.
But it was no time for smiling, because sitting at the dining table, was my mother…
