All Chapters of It's Always Been You: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

I felt like I had tossed and turned all night with our last kiss replaying in my head on a loop. I felt squeamish and giddy, my whole body filled with flutters every time I thought of our kiss.The next morning I felt like an exhausted mess from the lack of sleep I had gotten. Wes and I were acting as if it never happened, neither one of us saying a thing about it.Wes looked like he had no intention of bringing up which made me keep quiet myself, not wanting to bring something up that Wes wasn't even thinking about.I had said that it was our last night being a couple so it made sense to seal it all with one last kiss for everyone to see.It just didn't feel like it was for show. It felt like it was more, something so much more. Filled with so much passion and affection that it literally felt like it had taken all my oxygen away.Goodbyes with my mother were very quick, like expected. My father on the other hand seemed much more relaxed than usual. He actually seemed a little sad to

"Can I just stay in your bed all day?" Wes pouted out his bottom lip as he looked up at me, hugging my pillow and keeping himself wrapped up in my blankets.I crossed my arms over my chest as I firmly shook my head. "Wes! All we've done is order take out and watch movies for the past three days. Let's go out!"Wes groaned, stretching his arms out. "I just feel like a lazy bum.""I know," I grabbed his hands and started pulling him up but I was too weak to make him budge. "Which is why we are going out to feel the crisp air on our faces. And coffee!"Wes sighed as he pushed the blankets off himself. He dragged his feet towards the bathroom, giving in. "Fine. Let me change real quick."I occupied myself by cleaning up some of the mess that was forming in the room while Wes took a quick shower and changed his clothes.I grinned when he walked out, looking much more freshened up and awake."Let's go." I reached over to take hold of his hand, taking one step before halting to a stop. I sta

I 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. "All the flirtation, getting flustered, being a little more touchy, making comments and teasing. I did everything to indicate that I have feelings for him."Michelle tilted her head as she looked at me, trying to understand every detail. "Maybe he didn't see the signs?"I gave Michelle a flat look. "This is Wes we're talking about. He's an expert in reading women and dating women."Michelle shrugged, giving me a sheepish look. "I'm sure he just didn't see

It was now or never for me to do the most perfect match making of all time and introduce Wes to Summer Thomson.Summer walked into the cafe, smiling and waving to some familiar faces she saw. She was about to walk past out booth to head to the counter to order when I stopped her."Summer!" I beamed a bright and friendly smile as I waved her over, ignoring the pang in my chest.I could totally vomit right now. This was violently heart-wrenching.Michelle gave me a reassuring smile, nodding her head slowly because she knew what I was doing.Chris and Wes both snapped their heads over in confusion, not knowing what was going on."Hey," Summer exhaled as she stopped at the end of our table. She smiled warmly at me. "What's up, Fia? How was your break?"As much as I wanted to hate her because she could potentially be Wes's other half, I couldn't. She was perfect and she was one of the sweetest and most charming girls I had ever met.I didn't know her incredibly well and wasn't very close w

"The perfect person I've been looking for," he laughed breathily, pasuing. "It's you, Fia. It's always been you."Wes leaned down and captured my lips with his.He looped his arms around me. A warmth rushed through my body from his touch, it left me feeling limp as I leaned into him.He kissed me softly at first, his lips slowly and gently moving against mine. My hands linked around the back his neck, pulling him further down to me. A soft groan escaped from low in his throat, his hands finding themselves tangled in my hair as he kissed me more intensely, eagerly like we were both aching for more.My whole world around me felt like it was spinning, my knees feeling like they would buckle at any moment now.Breathlessly, he pulled away from me and leaned his forehead on mine. A smile tugged on his lips, his eyes shining with desire.I took a deep breath, regaining some oxygen. "You had me going for a spin, Hamilton."Wes quirked an eyebrow, his jaw falling as he gaped at me. He laughed
