"Oh!" My mother beamed a bright smile as she walked up to me while dragging Wes along with her. She practically pushed him into me before turning to some guests who I was making small talk with.

"Mary, Dean," she smiled at the married couple. "I don't supposed you've met my daughters boyfriend. This is Wes."

Wes swung an arm around my waist, pulling me into his side. The move made my whole body tense.

Wes smiled and shook their hands but all I could do was drown out their conversation because the only thing I could focus on was Wes's hand resting on my hip. His arm around me, the feeling of him holding me close to his side.

I have to prioritize school work and sports, you know.""I know," I mumbled, feeling guilty now. I wasn't trying to be a clingy girlfriend who needed constant attention but again, it was like Nate couldn't find five minutes to spare for me. "I just want to see you. I don't even remember the last time we hung out."Nate sighed dramatically. "How about I meet you at the party tonight? Are you going to be there?"I let out an exasperated breath as I felt a headache coming along. I felt too exhausted to go to a party tonight."Well, you and I were supposed to have some down time together but sure, I can meet you there.""Great. I'll see you then, Fia.""B-" I was cut off by the line going dead, Nate not even giving me a second to say goodbye properly.I groaned, throwing my phone across the room and grabbing a pillow to sc

    felt a great sense of comfort and calmness knowing that Michelle and Chris would be back today. After last night, having danced in the rain with Wes and sharing that moment, I needed to be away from him.It was the perfect and most magical moment all to be ruined because he didn't kiss me.Maybe I was selfish and petty to think that, but I couldn't help but be hurt. All my hope that maybe Wes does hold some feelings for me was stripped away when he didn't make any sort of move."I showed all the signs," I grumbled, shaking my head.
