It's Always Been You 29
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

When I woke up in the morning, I was laying on my side and facing Wes who was already awake. He smiled softly at me, his eyes warm and feeling like home. "Morning, sunshine. How are you feeling?"I scrunched up my face, my eyes still squinting. "Nauseous."Wes chuckled softly, lifting a hand to brush my hair out of my face and tuck it behind my ear. "You drank a lot last night."I groaned, covering my face with my hands. "I know," I mumbled from behind my hands."Hey," Wes gently took hold of my hands and removed them from my face. "No need to hide from me, love."I inhaled deeply, feeling the heat rise to my face. "Was I a mess?""Not until we came home," he smiled softly. "And you are completely allowed to be a mess with me so don't even start worrying about it."I huffed out a breath, turning to lie on my back and stare at the ceiling. "I want to go back to campus.""Lucky for you, the wedding will be over with tonight and then we can head back. As soon as you want to leave, we're

The wedding ceremony went by smoothly, everything being beautiful. Now we were sitting at the reception, the night being nearly over."You're really heading back tomorrow morning?" Sage frowned.I sighed, nodding. "I want to get back before classes start to prepare beforehand."Sage rolled her eyes playfully. "You work too hard, Fi."I grinned at her just as Wes walked over, taking a seat at the table beside me. He placed his hand over top of mine, smiling at me. "Your speech was amazing."I scrunched up my nose. "It was the least I could do. You helped me a lot with your advice. I made some minor additions last minute."Wes quirked an eyebrow, "You did?"I nodded, pursing my lips. "I had a small heart to heart with Mirah. I guess the timing was perfect.""That's good. You sure you want to head out so early tomorrow?""I'm telling you, you guys should stay. We can hang out." Stefan gave me a pointed look, trying to persuade me with his eyes."I don't think I can stay here much longer,

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

Wes and I sat in my dorm room with boxes of pizza and bread sticks spread out in front of us. We had made a little bed/fort on the ground in the middle of the room as we watched stupid youtube videos on the projector screen in front of us while we ate.There was nobody else on campus so we were left with each other's company which I personally had no problem with.Expect for the fact that I was falling for him hard and had no idea how to stop it.Ha."So," Wes brushed the crumbs off his hands, leaning back and turning to look at me. "What are your plans for the rest of the break? We still have days before the chaos of classes start."I shrugged as I sipped on my cola. "I don't know, I just want to catch up with all my reading. I much rather be ahead of the class. It'll give me less to stress about."Wes rolled his eyes, making a distraught face. "Loosen up, sweetheart. You work crazy hard. Just relax while you can."I laughed softly as I stood and started gathering the mess of boxes t

"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

Pluviophile - (n) a lover of rain;someone who finds joyand peace of mindduring rainy days.-As if my emotions and feelings weren't already a spiralling mess, we had to get caught in the rain which was as cliche as it sounds.Wes and I decided to go bowling and grab a quick fast food dinner instead of staying hauled up in my room doing stupid shit all day.We had eaten food and were headed out only to see that it was pouring rain. Raining cats and dogs."Shit!" I exclaimed as I stepped back and tried to stay underneath the overhanging rake of the roof. "I don't even have a coat, I'm going to get drenched."Wes looked down at me, grinning brightly like a child waking up to presents on Christmas morning.I narrowed my eyes at him in a skeptic manner when I saw the mischievous glint in his eyes. "What's going on in that big head of yours, pretty boy?"Wes only smirked before he stepped out into the parking lot, tilting his head back to let the rain pellet down on his face.I gaped at

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

Come on, Nate," I sighed, speaking to him on the phone. "You've rain-checked three times already.""I know," Nate grumbled through the phone. "I've just been busy, Fia. 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

Hi." I smiled as I opened my room door and greeted Nate. He was picking me up from my dorm so we could head to a frat party together.Nate offered me a small smile. He leaned down to kiss my cheek. It was quick. "Hi." He looked me once over but didn't make any comment. "Ready to go?"I sighed slowly but nodded as I followed him out of my room. My shoulders felt weighed down. I wasn't someone who ever asked for much. It had just been a while since Nate and I really saw each other. I may have put in extra effort to do my hair and makeup, throw on an outfit I would consider fairly cute.I was excited to see him, thinking we would have a good time at this party. Being in a good mood made me want to look good. How much was it to expect a compliment from your boyfriend when you put in more effort than normal to look cute? Clearly, it's expecting too much from Nate.It didn't really bother me. It was just a little disappointing. The car ride was short and mostly silent. Nate tapped his fin

was sitting in my long-term boyfriend's dorm room, busying myself by reading a book while I waited for him to finish class.The door went flying open, nearing making me jump out of my skin. A shirtless male ran into the room, slamming the door loudly behind him. He looked out of breath, leaning his back against the door to inhale deeply. From the way he ran a hand through his hair, he looked rather distressed.I quirked an eyebrow, intrigued as I sat up straighter. This wasn't something you witness everyday. He still hadn't noticed me sitting here.He was shaking his head softly when he looked up and his eyes locked with mine."Jesus! Wh—" the boy's bright blue eyes bulged out of his head. Shock and confusion flashed across his features, not expecting to find someone in his room. "Am I in the right room?"I shrugged nonchalantly, amused. "You might've barged into the wrong room while running for your life." The calmness in my voice only caused him to look more panicked.He opened his
