Chapter 32

Wesley's POV

The next day I wake up before Melanie and I sigh, stressfully. I get up and go grab a cigarette and walk out onto the balcony and smoke it.

"Wes?" I hear Melanie ask and I panic for a second. "Are you smoking?"

"Yeah.." I sigh.

"Why? I thought you were done smoking again?" She asks and I frown, looking down in shame.

"I'm just stressed, alright? That's why." I say and look at her.

"Babe, you don't need cigarettes to relieve your stress. I'll help you." She says, biting her lip and I immediately get turned on.

"W-what?" I ask, and she grabs my hand, leading me towards the door to go back inside.

I put out my cigarette and follow her inside and back into our bedroom. She sits me down on the bed and rubs her hands up and down my arms.

I begin to palm myself over my underwear and I flutter my eyes but that feeling goes away as Melanie swats my hands away. She replaces my hands with hers and I throw my head back in pleasure, moaning loudly.

"Shit, baby. Just do something more already, I'm so close." I say in short breaths.

-

After she pleasures me, I lay back on the bed and she joins me, tracing circles on my bare hip. I breathe heavily and lean over to kiss her forehead.

"Thank you, I feel a lot better." I say, and she smiles up at me, blushing a little bit.

"So, I found out yesterday at work that I have to go to California for something. Would you like to come with me?" I ask her.

"Sure. Why not." She says and I smile big.

"I love you a lot." I whisper.

"I love you, too." She says and I lean over to kiss her softly, cupping one of her cheeks with my hand.

"You should really put on some underwear, babe." She says against my lips and my cheeks flush.

She laughs a bit and I get up and grab my boxers and pull them up.

"So we're gonna leave early tomorrow morning. And we'll be gone all week." I say and she nods.

"Okay." She mumbles and I sigh as I walk away and out of the room.

I hear the doorbell a second later and I roll my eyes.

"Hello-" I begin to say as I open the door but I'm cut off by Melanie's dad punching me and I fall to the floor. "What the fuck are you doing here?" I try to speak as I hold my jaw.

"You got my daughter pregnant and I don't like it."

"She's 18, so what!"

"She's barely an adult! Do you know what could've happened if you got her pregnant and she was only 17?! You would've gotten arrested and shed be taken away from you! Which is not that bad for me. Actually, I'd be happy about that." He whisper yells and kicks my side and I almost throw up.

"Fuck off!" I choke out and Melanie comes running in as he kicks my side again, and I choke up blood.

"Dad?!" She asks, looking horrified.

"Mel, pack your stuff. You're coming home with me." He says and I try to sit up but I groan at the pain.

"No, dad. Just leave!" She says, exasperated.

"He got you pregnant, Mel!"

"The baby is gone! You know that so fucking leave before I call the police!"

"Wait. You knew she lost the baby and you came over to beat me anyway? That's fucked up." I say.

"Well, you got her pregnant in the first place."

"It wasn't our faults! We forgot about protection, leave us alone dad!" Melanie yells and I glare at him.

He finally takes the hint and heads out. Melanie closes the door and rushes over to me.

"Wes, are you okay?!" She says, helping me sit up.

"Yeah." I say and I lurch over, almost throwing up after I say that.

"You're obviously not okay, Wes. Let me help you up." She says and she helps me stand up, and leads me back to the bedroom.

I lay down on the bed and she pulls the covers up.

"Are you gonna be okay to go to California tomorrow?" She asks and I close my eyes.

"Probably, I'll just be sore." I say and open my eyes. "Plus, it's for work. If I don't go, I'll probably get fired. And I can't tell them I skipped it because of just a little soreness, they'll treat me like a girl."

"You do act like a girl sometimes." Melanie says, trying not to laugh.

"Do not!" I yell, and she laughs even more.

"Whatever, I'm gonna go get you some ice." She says, and I look at her ass as she walks out.

My phone begins to ring as I try to find something to watch on the tv and I answer it.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Wes. This is James. I heard you were coming down to Cali and was thinking we could hang out? We haven't seen each other in years."

I instantly tense up and sit up at the sound of his voice. We used to be friends but he turned his back on me when everything with Misty happened.

"I guess.. I might be busy with work because that's why I'm gonna be there but I'll check and see."

"Okay, man. Just let me know."

"Alright." I say and hang up.

Melanie comes in with a bag of ice after I hang up.

"Thank you." I say, and she sets it on my jaw, holding it for me.

"Who was that on the phone?" She asks.

"Some old friend in Cali that wants to meet up." I say and she nods.

"Do you feel any better?" She asks and I nod a little bit.

"I love you so much, baby." I say and she smiles.

"I love you, too." She says and I lean up to kiss her, taking her bottom lip in between my teeth and pulling it.

She straddles me carefully, moving her hands to my hair and pulling at the ends. I smile against her lips and pull back.

"Why are you stopping?" She asks, breathing heavily.

"Because... I hurt, Mel. I can't have sex with you right now." I say and she rolls her eyes, and rolls off of me. "Don't get me wrong, I want to. We haven't had sex since you got pregnant, and it's killing me."

"Whatever." She mumbles, and I sigh.

"Don't be mad at me. Please."

"It's fine." She snaps at me and I sit up.

"Don't you have to go to school today?" I ask her.

"No, it's Saturday."

"Oh, yeah." Fuck, now it's just awkward.

She turns the other way and watches tv, and I sigh as I type away on my phone.

-

The next day we get to the airport, and Melanie doesn't really talk to me.

She go sits down as I get our bags checked in to the flight. I walk back and see Melanie talking to a guy sitting next to her on the bench.

I clench my fists and storm over to the both of them.

"Who the fuck are you?" I spit through clenched teeth and I cross my arms over my chest.

"My name is Adrian, I'm assuming you're Wesley?"

"Yeah... How do you know who I am?"

"Well, your girlfriend here was telling me that she's going on a trip to Cali with you."

"Why do you care?"

"It was just something to talk about, buddy. Calm down." He says and I roll my eyes. "Nice meeting you, Melanie." He says and they hug before he walks off and he winks at her before he does.

"That fucking dick." I say, sitting down next to Melanie.

"Wes, you really need to get your jealousy under control."

"Oh, so now you're deciding to talk to me?"

"What?"

"Don't play stupid, Mel. You've barely talked to me since I turned down having sex with you."

"Whatever, Wesley."

"It's true!"

"It is not, now let's go to security."

I don't say anything, but I take her hand and lead her there. When we're in line, I notice several guys looking at her ass as they walk by and I clench my jaw.

"If I try to punch a guy, hold me back." I mutter.

"What? Wes-"

"There's guys who keep looking at your ass. Why are you wearing those tight ass yoga pants?"

"Because I can."

"I only want you wearing those at home. Those are for my pleasure only."

"I can wear them wherever I want." She snaps at me and we finally start going through security.

After we put our shoes back on, I walk off before she can finish tying her shoes.

"Well, why are you wearing sweatpants?" She says, running to catch up with me.

"What?" I ask, looking over at her as we walk to our terminal.

"Girls are eyeing you because you're wearing a tank top and sweatpants. Maybe I only wanna see that."

"Well, I can wear them wherever I want." I say, and smirk at her.

She rolls her eyes and I grab her hand. As we're walking, I spot a group of girls staring at me and I give them a wink and smirk at them. They squeal and turn around to freak out I'm assuming.

"What the fuck, Wesley?" Melanie asks as we sit down and I look at her.

"What?"

"I saw you wink at those girls."

"And? I bet you I made their day." I say and she rolls her eyes. "Come on, baby. Cheer up." I say and lean over to kiss her softly.

"When is our flight?" She asks as we pull away.

"It should be arriving in about 10 minutes."

"Can we go get something to eat quickly, please? I'm starving."

"Sure thing, babe."

We stand up and I wrap my arm around her waist. As we're walking, I notice a lady who's pregnant, with two kids and her husband walking this way. I quickly steer Melanie away before she can see that, not wanting to get her upset.

After we finish our food, our plane gets called and we get on a few minutes later. She takes the window seat, and I sit down next to her.

"I love you." I whisper.

"I love you, too." She says and I kiss her cheek and we wait for the plane to take off.

-

As we get off the plane, and walk into LAX, I see somebody I know. I let go of Melanie's hand and jog over to my friend.

"Taylor?" I ask, and she looks up at me.

"Oh my God, Wesley! What are you doing here?" She asks, and I hug her.

"I have to be down here for work. What are you doing here?"

"Oh, well I just got back from Florida with my boyfriend and my parents."

"You're dating again?"

"Yeah, I've had a few boyfriends since you but this one is a keeper." She smiles.

"Well I'm happy for you. I have a girlfriend and she should've followed me over here..." I ramble off and look around to find her.

I see her looking at the magazines and I grin.

"She's over there." I say, pointing her out.

"Aw, well I'm happy for you Wesley. But I gotta go.. Text me and maybe we can go out to dinner with your girlfriend and my boyfriend."

"So a double date?"

"Yeah." She says and I hug her goodbye.

I jog back over to Melanie and put my arm around her shoulders.

"Whatcha doin?"

"Looking at magazines. What were you doing?"

"Oh, I saw an old friend.. We're gonna see about going to dinner with her and her boyfriend. You up for that?"

"Yeah, sure. I don't really have anything to do while you're gone besides go shopping with your sister and your mom."

"We're staying at a hotel, just thought I'd let you know."

"Okay."

"Let's go." I say, and kiss her before heading to go get our luggage from baggage claim.
