I was putting on a little bit of makeup as I got ready for the late lunch we were headed out to where we would meet up with Mirah and Adam.Wes walked out of the bathroom in nothing but a towel hanging loosely on his waist. He used another towel to ruffle through his hair, drying it up faster.I sucked in my lips, continuing to stare at myself in the mirror in a weak attempt to keep my eyes off of Wes's very toned and perfect upper body."Hey, I'm confident. No need to avoid looking, love." Wes smirked at me as I looked at him through my vanity mirror.I rolled my eyes. "Put some clothes on before someone walks in and gets the wrong idea."Wes quirked an eyebrow, his eyes dancing with amusement. He walked up behind me as he put the towel he was holding around his shoulders.He stood directly behind me, looking at me in the mirror. His body was so close to mine I could feel his body heat radiating off him and onto me.My whole body tensed, my face glowing red and hot.Wes continued smi

I tilted my head, standing at the side of my bed and watching Wes's sleeping form. His chest rose and fall evenly, his eyelashes long enough to brush the top of his cheeks. Pieces of his hair fell on his forehead as he stirred for a moment.A moment later, he opened one eye, squinting as the bright sunlight seeped into my room. "Picture lasts longer, babe." His voice was much deeper and hoarser than usual, causing a shiver to go down my spine.I grinned, taking a seat on the bed beside where he laid. I held out the mug of coffee to him, "Morning sleepyhead. How's the headache?"In response, Wes groaned, keeping his eyes shut. He turned his body so he was lying on his side, moving his head to rest in my lap.I laughed, finding him oddly very adorable right now. "Come on, we have much to do today.""One more minute," he spoke softly, still in a deep daze of sleepiness.I placed the mug down on the bedside table before again, I found myself running my hand through his perfect hair. Wes s

"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.This was all too much. Too confusing.Why was I feeling so spun and flustered by all this? It was like I was so stunned and in-love with the little gestures he made but I shouldn't be because it was all for show.I was reading far too into everything, forgetting that the reason Wes and I were so close and cuddly was because we had to convince everyone we were datin

Wes and I only had a very vague mention of the kiss last night. It seemed that we both settled on the kiss just happening in the heat of the moment so that we could continue to sell our charade without anyone becoming skeptical.That was the final verdict we seemed to arrive at before ending the conversation last night.I don't know where it was coming from but part of me felt disappointed. Part of me was expecting that maybe there was a different reason he kissed me. I don't know if that's what I wanted but I thought he would say something more last night.It was crazy of me to expect that. Of course.I knew Wes. I had been the one playing match-maker for him so I knew that Wes wasn't the real relationship type of guy. He had never even picked a single girl that was worthy enough for him to see a second time.The only reason he hung around me was because our relationship was purely as friends. Add in the fun and games when I scouted out dates for him.I didn't know how I was feeling.

I had kissed Wes.I didn't think, I just did it and he kissed me back.And it was amazing. It was surreal, like something out of a movie. It felt like we were the only two people in the world.And my head was swaying so much from all the alcohol that I had had, I didn't even care about the dangerous territory I was walking into.After the gentle and perfect little kiss, we pulled away when someone started tapping on a glass to get everyone's attention. Adam was going to make a speech which caused Wes and I to step out of our little moment and head to the table we were sitting at.We didn't have a chance to talk because Adam had started his little speech. Wes kept glanced at me through the corner of his eyes, like he was trying to see where my head was at.I just stared straight ahead at Adam in the centre of the room, standing with my sister. My face was flushed and still on fire, my lips tingling like crazy.As soon as the speech was over, I stumbled my way out to the back garden whe
