Chapter 9

Wes's POV

"So, how'd you like Black Panther?" Wes asked Paige as they walked out of the theater. He always had thought Paige was cute, but she was different than all the other girls. And that scared him.

She shrugged. "It was ok. I wish there was more action."

"What? There was plenty action!" Wes looked at her in disbelief.

She raised an eyebrow. "Really?" Paige asked skeptically.

Wes shook his head in amusement. "Yeah. You must've fallen asleep during all the action scenes." he joked and she playfully shoved him.

"Haha. So funny," she deadpanned.

"I know I am," he smirked, but it quickly got replaced by an embarrassed look as their hands brushed each other. Wes had no idea what the hell was happening. Why was his heart beating so fast? Why did he feel like his face was about to burn off? Why did he suddenly have butterflies in his stomach? Why were his hands sweaty? Good lord, was he falling for a girl? No, he never fell for anyone. He usually fucked and chucked, but for some odd reason, thinking about anyone fucking and chucking Paige made his blood boil.

"So, was I fun enough to snag a second date?" Wes asked casually but felt his palms start to sweat. Why were his ears getting uncomfortably warm? And why was he asking for a second date? He usually never did that, but something about Paige made him want a second one.

She looked at him in surprise like she didn't expect him to ask that, which made sense. "Uh, sure," she agreed.

He grinned. Score! "Cool...should we exchange numbers...?"

"Yeah, that would make it easier," Paige said as she handed over her phone and he gave her his. He quickly typed in his number, handed it back as he accepted his from her.

"Nice, so, I gotta go, but I'll see you around," he gave a slight smile as she nodded and headed their own ways.

Paige's POV

Wes had been surprisingly sweet, which she had not thought would even be in the ballpark for his personality. And he had asked for a second date! Paige could tell that it was not something that Wes did often, judging by his expression and body language. She arrived back to her dorm room and saw Emily reading a book. "Hey Em!" Paige greeted.

Emily looked up from her book. "Oh, hey Paige! How was the date?" Paige frowned.

She hadn't told Emily about the date in case it went badly since Wes was a well-known player. "It was surprisingly good. He's very charming, but I can see that he's actually a good person. I think that he uses his 'player' status to make sure that he doesn't get hurt again. At least, that's what I've read in my romance novels," Paige said, only half-joking. Emily smiled at her teammate, but Paige noticed that it didn't reach her eyes.

"Wow Paige, that's great..." Emily's voice drifted off like she had no idea what to say next. Paige decided that she would ask the question that had been in her mind since Emily asked how her date was.

"So, how did you know that I was on a date with Wes? I don't recall ever telling you."

Panic seemed to flood Emily's brown eyes, before disappearing. "Oh, one of my other friends happened to see you guys." Paige lifted an eyebrow and opened her mouth, but Emily interrupted her. "You wouldn't know her. She doesn't go to Harvard."

"Oh ok," Paige paused, thinking. "So, where were we?" She decided to test her friend.

Once again, Paige thought that she saw a little panic on Emily's face, but this time it didn't go away.

"Um, I think she said you went to a movie or something like that," Emily responded. Paige nodded in confirmation and saw shock quickly pass on her roommate's face, but it went as quickly as it came. "So, did you guys talk about a second date?"

Paige smiled, thinking about how cute Wes was when he asked her. "Yeah, he asked me for one."

"And did you say yes?"

Paige rolled her eyes at her friend in exasperation. "Of course, dummy," she laughed. Emily soon joined her, but it seemed forced. Maybe Emily liked Wes as well.

Emily's POV

Emily could not believe that Paige had actually fallen for that dumbass. She had thought that Paige, of all people, would never go on a second date with that womanizer. All for nothing since she hadn't found anything to explain why Paige was acting so strangely. Emily felt like her heart was being squeezed when she thought about Paige and Wes dating. Paige should be dating her, not Wesley Cooper. Knowing his reputation, Emily was convinced that he would find some way to cheat on her. She would never forgive herself if Paige got hurt because of her meddling. The one percent chance of being together with Paige would go down the drain if Paige ever found out that Wesley had been told by Emily to ask her out.

The only person who knew that is Wes, but she didn't trust him as far as she could throw him. She had to do something about this whole Paige and Wes thing. Their second date! That was it! She had to figure out some way to ruin their second date so badly that Paige won't want to go on anymore with him. Now what should she do? Excitedly, Emily got up and retrieved a pencil and paper. Sitting down on her bed and making sure that Paige wasn't paying attention to her, she started to plan out her "ruin Paige's date" plot.
