Chapter 6

Melanie's POV

"Wes, can we still go home, though? My mom wants me to eat dinner with her, my dad and brother tonight and I haven't seen them in a while." I spoke as I was laying in bed with Wesley, resting my head on his chest.

"Sure, that's fine with me."

"Okay, we should go. We have a 8 hour drive back."

"Yeah, we really should then." He said, and I giggled before kissing him quickly and getting up to go get the rest of my stuff from the bathroom. As I'm zipping the bag up, I feel Wesley's arms wrap around my waist from behind and I smile and turn around to face him.

"You're so beautiful." Wesley says, and I blush, and he leans down and kisses me softly, and I cup his face with my hands and kiss him back, passionately. He picks me up and sits me on the bathroom sink and I giggle a bit before pulling away and smiling down at him.

"You're very cute." I say and he scoffs, playfully.

"You think I'm cute?" He says, emphasizing the word I'm and I smirk at him.

"Yes, does that bother you Wesley?" I say, and he bites his lip, tightening his grip on my waist.

"Maybe." He growls in my ear, and nibbles on it and I bite the inside of my mouth to try and keep the moan in that wants to come out oh so badly.

"Wes.." I mumble, leaning my head back and he kisses down my neck and I whimper a bit as he finds my sweet spot, sucking on it tenderly. I bring my hands up to tangle in his hair and I close my eyes, in pure bliss. I bring him back up to me and I kiss him roughly, and his hands roam up and down my body and I moan into his mouth loudly.

He pulls away unexpectedly and I look at him, shocked. "We should get going." He says, smirking at me and I roll my eyes at him.

"You're such a tease."

"Yeah, well you're one too." He says, laughing and walks back into the room.

"Payback's a bitch." I said, as I got into the other room.

"Oh really, now?"

"Yep, so watch your back." I say, and grin at him and he looks at me suspiciously before we leave.

As we're driving, I sing along to the music, not really caring if I can't sing and we both laugh as I try and hit a high note but fail miserably.

I bite my lip and lean over the console and start kissing over Wesley's jaw and I hear him suck in a sharp breath.

"W-what are you doing?" He stuttered and I grinned and led my lips down to his neck, ignoring him. I try and find his sweet spot and once I hear him moan I know I've found it. When we stop at a red light, I move to straddle his lap, kissing his lips roughly. He moves his hands under my shirt and I move my lips down to his neck again, sucking here and there. As I'm about to kiss him again, I hear honking behind us and I realize that it's a green light. I take that as my cue to sit back in my seat and he groans as he starts driving again, obviously turned on by my actions.

"So I'm guessing that was payback?" He asked and I giggled before nodding.

"You're not the only tease here." I said, and kissed his cheek.

-

"I'll see you tomorrow?" Wesley asks as he drops me off at my apartment.

"Yep, see you then." I say, and give him a kiss before leaving and heading into my apartment to change my clothes so I can go to my parents house.

"There she is, give me a hug!" Matthew my brother calls, as he opens the door and let's me in. I hug him and he smiled at me as we pull away.

"I've missed you, bro."

"I've missed you too, sis. So what have you been up to?"

"Well, I want you to be the first one to know that I've started dating again." I say, and his eyes widen and his jaw drops.

"Whoa.. With who?"

"Wesley Stromberg. He's Drew's friend, we met at the funeral."

"Oh I've heard about him. Mel, I've heard he's a total douche bag as well. He gets around and smokes. I know very well that you don't date those type of people."

"Well I've learned that my whole relationship with Jace has been a complete lie. He used to get high with Wesley, Drew and their friends.. And he probably cheated on me too. So I decided, fuck it. And that's when I started dating Wesley. Plus, he's changed. He doesn't do that any more." I explain, and his eyes widen even more.

"Wow.. That's harsh. At least Wesley told you the truth. Just be careful around him." He warned, as we sat down on the couch and I give him a slight smile, looking down.

"So where's mom and dad?" I ask, and he shrugs.

"They should be up in their room. I don't know, I've been in my room until you arrived."

"Oh, and don't say anything to them about me dating Wesley, yet. Mom doesn't really like him and dad will probably want to meet him and interrogate him with questions. I'll bring Wesley over soon and tell them that way. They don't need to know yet, it'll ruin our night as a family."

"Okay.."

"Melanie!" I hear my dad call and I turn around and smile at him, getting up to hug him.

"Hey dad."

I hug my mom when she gets in the room and we all go sit down to eat dinner.

-

"So, how did dinner with your family go last night?" Wesley asks as I walk into his apartment, greeting him with a kiss.

"It went good, I guess.. I told Matthew that we're dating."

"You did?"

"Yeah, he seemed okay about it.. I just need to tell my parents. But I want you to be with me when I do." I say, and grab his hand, leading him back to his bedroom.

"Okay, that's fine with me." He says, sitting on his bed and I move to straddle his lap, kissing him roughly as he leans back to lay down on the bed with me on top of him. He flips us over and kisses down my neck, finding my sweet spot again and ,I moan loudly, putting my hands under his shirt, and feeling his toned body finally. He moans against my skin, nibbling at it and I take his shirt off quickly. He starts to pull my shirt up a bit and when it gets close to being under my bra, I pull away.

"Wesley.." I say, pulling his hands away from me.

"What?" He speaks, breathing heavily as he looks down at me.

"We can't go too far.. Not yet." I say, and he sighs, rolling off of me. "Look, I know you're not used to taking time and you're used to fucking a girl right after things start to get heated but I'm not that way and you know that."

"I know, baby. I just get too carried away and I'm sorry." He says, and leans over to kiss my nose and I blush immediately.

"It's okay.. Do you wanna go hang out with Drew today? He's been wanting to hang out with me."

"Sure.. Let's go." He kisses me quickly and I smile and text Drew to tell him we're coming over.

"So.. Here's the lovely couple." Drew speaks, his voice dripping with sarcasm as we walk into his apartment.

"Drew.." I warn, as I hug him and he glares at Wesley as I pull away.

"No.. Wes, I've told you to stay away from her. Why can't you fucking listen?" He says, stepping towards Wesley and I pull him back.

"Stop." I say, pressing a hand to his chest and walk over to Wesley, taking his hand.

"I think I should go." Wesley speaks and I shake my head.

"No, everything is just fine.. Right, Drew?" I speak angrily.

"Yeah, sure." Drew says sarcastically and I roll my eyes and kiss Wesley on the cheek as we go into the living room.

"So, you fucked her yet?" Drew asks Wesley, and I choke on my own spit, coughing and stand up.

"Drew!"

"Have you?" Drew yells, standing up as well and neither of answer, being too shocked by his question to.

"You asshole! You did, didn't you?!" Drew yells and pulls Wesley up by the collar of his shirt, pushing him against the wall.

"Drew, stop! We didn't have sex now leave him alone! You know I'm not like that." I say, getting in between them and he let's go of Wesley. "We're leaving."

"Wait, Mel. I'm sor-"

I cut him off and grab Wesley's hand. "Save it, Drew. We're leaving." I say, and me and Wesley walk out of Drew's apartment and I sigh as Wesley turns me around to face him.

"You okay?" Wesley asks me and I look down.

"No, I can't believe he thinks I would do that with you so quickly."

"He doesn't, he's just angry at me." Wesley says, and tilts my chin up to look at him.

"I just don't understand why he doesn't want me around you. You haven't really hurt me emotionally like he said so I don't know why he hates the fact that we're dating."

"I know babe it's just that you're his best friend and he knows way more about my old reputation then anyone should. He knows that if I hurt you emotionally that it'll be bad. And I won't hurt you, I promise. I'll keep you safe." He kisses me deeply, cupping my cheeks with his hands and I kiss him back and he licks my bottom lip asking for permission and I grant it and he slides his tongue in my mouth. Our tongues dance together and I whimper as he pulls away. "Let's go, people are gonna think we're weird for making out in front their homes."

I laugh and he pulls me gently down the stairs to his car.

"What do you wanna do now?" I ask and he shrugs.

"What do you wanna do?"

"Hmm let's go to the art museum. I've been waiting for this expo and they're doing it this weekend."

"I didn't know you were interested in that stuff."

"Yeah I've found it interesting all my life. It's so beautiful.. Sometimes I just go there whenever I'm stressed. I know about almost every piece in that museum."

"Good.. Maybe you could teach me some stuff about the art." He says, and holds my hand as he drives with the other hand.

I smile and when we get there, I pull Wesley into the museum by his hand and he starts laughing as we walk inside. There's so many people here and I can already tell that it's gonna take a while to get out of here. Wesley wraps his arms around me from behind and I smile and rest my hands on his at we look at the art.

"I'm sooo bored, can we leave now?" Wesley whines as we're half way into the museum.

"You're that bored?"

"Yes, I wanna take you back to my apartment so we can cuddle and watch movies." He says and gives me puppy eyes and I just can not bring myself to deny him.

"Fine, let's go."

"Finally!" He yells, too excited and people glare at him and tell him to be quiet and I giggle at him.

-

"What movie do you wanna watch?" Wesley asks me as we lay in his bed together, cuddled under the blankets.

"Hmm, let me see. We can watch 'Get That Girl'?" I ask as I scroll through the movies on Netflix.

"Sure, that's fine with me." He says, and kisses my cheek.

I blush immediately and click play. When a kissing scene comes on Wesley leans over and kisses me softly and I kiss back, smiling against his lips as I tangle my hands in his hair. "Wes.."

"What?" He says between kisses and leads his lips down to my neck, sucking lightly.

"You need to come meet my parents tomorrow." I say, trying to get him to stop kissing my neck and it seems to work.

"Okay? Why are you bringing them up right now?" He sounds a little pissed off.

"Because I just thought you should know. They don't know you're coming over with me so I just wanted to warn you about that."

"Okay, can we go back to kissing now?" He asks and I giggle a bit.

"No, let's watch the movie." I say, and he groans and I laugh again.

As the movie ends, Wesley gets a phone call and he rolls his eyes.

"It's Keaton."

I nod.

"What up, bro?"

"Okay?"

"Yeah, I'll ask her but I doubt she'll want to. I haven't even met her parents yet."

"Yeah, sure."

"Bye."

"What did he want?" I ask and he sighs.

"Mel, how would you feel about going to Cali with me for Christmas? You don't have to, it's just an idea."

"I don't know.. My parents don't even really know you, I doubt they'll let me go across the country with you, especially for Christmas."

"Okay.. I'll let you think about it."

"And I will." I say and he gives me a kiss before we watch another movie.
