It's Always Been You 1
I 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 hi

"So... you sure you guys are as happy as you said?"I turned to look at Wes, not in the mood for his comments about commitment being stupid. I gave him an unamused look. "Don't start."Wes only shrugged nonchalantly. His features softened as he continued to peer at me, lightly narrowing his eyes. "Seems like there's trouble in paradise. Help me understand why you're dating an asshole like him."I scoffed, offering him a small grin. "Who do you want me to date? An asshole like you?""Hey," Wes frowned dramatically. "I may be an asshole in some ways but I would never treat you the way he does."For some reason, Wes's words warmed my heart but I chose to ignore that feeling."He's not that bad," I mumbled sheepishly, avoiding Wes's gaze. "He's just... tired, having a bad day."Wes rolled his eyes, making it very evident that he didn't buy my words. "Sure."I ignored Wes, figuring he would head his own way as soon as we exited the dormitory building but he didn't."Uh..." I stopped to loo

"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 fi

I stirred when I felt myself moving. I slowly blinked my eyes open, squinting to adjust to the lighting."Hey Fi," Wes spoke quietly, a small smile on his lips as he looked down at me. "What's your dorm number?""Mmm..." I licked my lips that tasted like alcohol. "202." I kept my eyes shut as Wes carried me to my dorm, bridal style. I was too hazy and buzzed to fully understand what was going on.Wes carried me inside, to my bed and laid me down, placing the blanket on top of me and tucking me in. I thought he was going to leave but instead, he grabbed some make-up wipes off the desk and started to gently wipe my face with them."Wes," I looked at him through squinted eyes and he softly rubbed the make-up off my forehead."Hmm," he looked down at me, raising his eyebrows."Why did you leave Michelle to bring me home?" I tilted my head to the side as I looked at him.His features and eyes were soft, his tongue very slightly poking out of the corner of his mouth as he focused on wiping

I woke up to the blinding sunlight that seeped through the window in my dorm room. I let out a loud groan as I struggled to open my eyes, my head pounding with a strong headache."Morning sunshine," I heard Michelle's voice echo through my ears.I sat up in my bed, rubbing my eyes to push the sleep away.Michelle, my best friend and roommate, smiled as she handed me a cup of coffee. "You don't look amazing.""Thanks," I grumbled as I took the coffee and downed half of it quickly. "How are you so cheerful? You drank more than me."Michelle shrugged softly, grinning. "I woke up hours ago, threw up my guts, took a long bath, and drank a very disgusting smoothie."I let out a weak laugh. "I should try your hangover remedies."Michelle grinned as she took a seat on my bed. "So..." she mumbled suggestively in a tone I did not like. "Wes, huh?"I blinked, placing my coffee cup down. I narrowed my eyes at her, unsure why she was speaking in such a mysterious tone. "Yes... you met him last nig

"I can barely stay caught up with my own major but how am I supposed to complain when you're out here doing pre-med?" Michelle groaned, ramming her head down on the table.We were sitting in the local cafe, trying to catch up on homework and studying but Michelle was not in the studying mood.I let out a small laugh, shaking my head at my best friend. "With the amount of coffee you've had, you should really be more productive, Elle."Michelle lifted her head and gave me an upmost dull look. "With the amount of coffee I've had, I cannot sit still and focus for the life of me."I leaned back in the booth, watching her misery with amusement. "This is why you manage your time and don't leave your assignments until last minute."Michelle continued to give me a flat look. "Sorry we all can't be motivated and smart like you, Fia. God, I just want it to be Summer already."I couldn't help but scoff. "It's the second month of freshman year, Elle. We got a long way to go."Michelle shrugged, le

"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 s

Wes grinned down at me as he held onto my hand and led me into a local pub. "Just because you're leaving the party early doesn't mean your night has to go to waste. The drinking doesn't have to stop."I shook my head at him, laughing softly. I followed him in and we took a seat in a booth.Wes turned to look at me before he sat down. "I'll go grab us some drinks. I'm hoping you won't run away.""It's tempting," I joked. Somehow, I was already feeling much lighter and calmer now that I was here with Wes. He made me feel better even when he was hardly trying.Wes returned with some drinks and sat across from me in the booth. He leaned over the table, peering at me with a strong and intrigued gaze. "So, you don't want to talk about whatever has got you in a sour mood?"I bit the inside of my lip as I debated. It wasn't that I didn't trust Wes, that wasn't the case at all. I just didn't want to spend any more time ranting and dwelling about Nate.Nate was a lost cause at this point. All 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.
