It's Always Been You 36
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

Classes had started and the campus was swarming with students once again. It almost looked surreal because of how different the atmosphere was only a few days ago before everyone had gotten back from their holidays.I hadn't seen Wes in over a week. Part of me may had been avoiding him but I excused it as being caught up in my courses and assignments and that is exactly what I kept myself busy with.I knew I would have to see him soon but I also needed to get myself in check and make sense of my feelings before I did so.Michelle, Chris and I were hanging out at the cafe between lectures and Chris decided to invite Wes to join us, without telling me."You can't avoid him forever," he told me sincerely. "And the longer you do avoid him, the more awkward you'll feel when you do see him."I knew it was unfair of me to steer clear of Wes without giving him an explanation. As much as I wanted to avoid him until I magically made my feelings for him vanish, a big part of me did miss his comp

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

I didn't know how long I had been staring out the window but I couldn't do anything to pull myself back into reality.My mind was spinning as I stared at the starry night sky. My thoughts were racing with questions about Wes and Summer, whether they hit it off, if he liked her, if he'll ask her out.I hated thinking about it but nothing I did to distract myself was working.I was in pure agony. It was torture. It was hell.I want to say I'm overreacting but honestly, feelings hurt and feelings suck.It just hurts to know that he doesn't see me the way I see him. It hurts that I can't have him. It hurts that I'm going to eventually see him be with someone else.I wish I could forget all about these stupid feelings I have for Wes but unfortunately, you cannot pick and chose who you fall for or when.I felt pathetic and lousy and like a sad, bummy little shit, more than I ever had before."Heartbreak and love - total bitch, I know," Michelle tried to keep her tone teasing, to lighten the

"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

"Fia," A soft voice whispered to me while I was gently being shook. "Love, wake up."I let out a muffled groan as I stirred in my sleep.A hand pushed some hair out of my face, the touch gentle and lingering. "Baby. Up and at 'em."I squinted one eye open, the room still dark with no light but the moonlight that was coming through the window. Wes was bent down on the ground in front of me, his hand running through my hair."What are you doing?" I croaked out, my voice horse and raspy. I smiled softly, seeing his eyes light up when they met mine. "It's the middle of the night. Why'd you get up?"Wes only grinned at me, raising his eyebrows. I could see the amusement dancing behind his pupils. "I have to show you something. Let's go.""What?" I whined as I swung my legs over the side of my bed and sat up, rubbing my eyes tiredly. "What time is it? Why aren't you cuddling me?"Wes chuckled softly as he tossed me my shirt that was left lying on the ground. "It's three am, I think. Come wi

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

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
