Chapter 22

(A/N Listen to One by Ed Sheeran while reading this if you'd like. Or his whole new album lol I listened to it while writing most or this chapter.)

Melanie's POV

"Mel, we worked things out." Thomas boasts to me, excitedly.

"You did?"

"Yeah, it was very frustrating but we both ended up making out in the end so now we're back together. It's weird how that works."

I laugh a bit, smiling at him.

"Well, that's awesome Thomas." I say as we walk out of class together.

"Uh.. Mel, I think someone's wanting to talk to you." Thomas randomly says, pointing down the hall discreetly, and I look to see who he's talking about. Of course.

"Yeah.."

"How are things between you two?"

"I really don't know, we're still trying to fix things. Sort of..."

"Go talk to him, okay? You promised me."

I nod and he kisses my cheek, and then walks away. I sigh, looking over to Wesley and I start to walk over to him.

"What do you want?" I ask, looking up at him.

"Why the fuck did he kiss your cheek? I'm gonna kick his a-"

"Wes, it's just a friendly gesture."

"Yeah, it better fucking be."

"Stop, Wes. He's back together with Maggie. Plus, you shouldn't worry about it, you and I aren't together anymore."

"Stop that."

"Stop what?"

"Stop saying that."

"That we're not together anymore?"

"Yeah, that."

"Well it's true, Wes. Why are you here anyway?"

"I wanted to see you."

"You saw me yesterday."

"Come with me."

"No." I shake my head and he rolls his eyes.

"Fine, be difficult." He mumbles, walking over to me and picking me up, throwing me over his shoulder.

"Wesley, put me down!" I yell, pounding against his back but it doesn't seem to phase him at all.

I sigh, letting him carry me as my arms and legs dangle. I mentally curse myself for wearing shorts, because Wesley probably has a very good view of my ass right now and he's probably staring at it.

When he sets me down outside of the college, I start to walk away from him but he grabs my arm.

"Let me talk to you."

"No! Why don't you understand that I'm done with you! I don't want to see you anym-"

I'm cut off by Wesley pushing me up against the wall of the building, pressing his lips against mine roughly.

I try to push him away, but he holds my hands away. I don't kiss back for a few seconds but eventually I start to move my lips against his with just as much passion.

"Mel." He breathes against my lips.

I shut him up by kissing him again, tangling my fingers in his hair, pulling on the ends.

"So are you gonna give me another chance? Please baby." He asks, pressing his forehead against mine.

"Yes." I gulp, nodding as I close my eyes.

Wesley presses his lips to mine once again, but passionately this time, wrapping his arms around me tightly. We pull away and he hugs me tightly, out of happiness.

"I love you so much oh my God, Mel. I thought I lost you forever." He says, leaning back to look at me.

"I'm still here, babe." I whisper, smiling up at him.

"I promise I'll never cheat on you, baby. I was so fucking stupid to, no one deserves to be cheated on and I realize that now."

I just nod, wrapping my arms around him.

"I love you, too." I say, resting my head on his chest.

"Come on baby, let's go get something to eat. Anything you want." He says, kissing my forehead.

I nod, grabbing his hand as we pull away from our embrace and we walk back down the sidewalk.

"Melanie." I see my dad a few feet in front of us and I stop us in our tracks, quickly letting go of Wesley's hand. "What is he doing with you?"

"Dad, I-"

"I told you to stay away from him! I thought you were dating Thomas! Not this douche bag."

"No, I'm not dating Thomas! I'm dating Wesley, and if you can't deal with that then you can fuck off!"

"Fine, I'll just take away your apartment and your college scholarship here!"

"What?"

"Mel, that was the deal."

"No, you can fucking do that." I say, my vision becoming blurry and Wesley comes up to me, taking me in his arms.

"She'll live with me." Wesley says, and I look at my dad. If looks could kill, Wesley would be on the floor gone by now.

"Oh no she won't."

"She's 18, she can do whatever she wants."

"Yeah and what if you slap her again?" Wesley, that was the main reason I had her date Thomas and not you. He wouldn't dare lay a finger on her the way you did."

"Look, it was a mistake and she's fine now. Why can't you fucking accept the fact that me and Melanie are in love with each other and you're not gonna break us apart. So just stop trying!"

"Her mother would want her to be with someone better. She didn't like you, anyway."

"Dad, don't." I croak, tears falling of course.

"Fine, Mel. Disappoint your mother." He says, shaking his head as he walks off.

I turn around, resting my head against Wesley's chest again, crying into his shirt.

"Mel, I'm so sorry baby."

"I hate him so much."

"I know, babe. Let's go." He says, and we walk to his car.

He drives in silence, and I stare out the window. I'm really glad I made up with him because I probably wouldn't be able to deal with my dad without him.

When we get in his apartment I wrap my arms around his neck, and he wraps his arms around my waist. We both sway back and forth even though there's no music and I know it seems very cliche as fuck, but I continue with it anyway.

"Did you really mean that I could move in with you?" I ask, breaking the silence.

"Yeah, why are you asking?"

"I don't know.. You really wasn't me to?"

"Mel, of course I do. I've wanted you to move in with me a couple months after we started dating but I figured that it was too soon."

"Well, I'd love to."

His smile grows really wide and leans down, kissing all over my face and I giggle, grabbing his hands.

I lean up to kiss him, cupping his face with my hands and he responds immediately, resting his hands on my waist. He bites my lip, and I open my mouth, allowing him to push his tongue through. I lift my legs up, wrapping them around his waist. He leads me to his bedroom, sitting me down on the bed. He pulls away to help me pull of my shirt, throwing it somewhere on the floor.

I unbutton his jeans, pulling them down quickly and he kicks them off, pulling his shirt off and throwing it somewhere. I stand up, turning him around and pushing him onto the bed. I move and straddle his waist as he lays down. I grind my crotch against his and he grabs my hips, making me move the way he wants me to. I can immediately feel the prominent bulge that's probably straining against his boxers and I bite my lip. He suddenly flips us over and he grinds his hips into mine.

"I'm in control." He growls in my ear, unbuttoning my shorts and pulling them off quickly.

"I'll fuck you better than Thomas ever will." He says, grinding his hips against mine harder.

"I bet he doesn't know that whenever I touch you here," He moves his hands in between my legs, and I jump. "That you'll jump just the way I want you to."

"Just fuck me already." I moan, as I trail my nails down his back and he groans.

"Gladly." He smirks and he presses his lips to mine roughly, placing his hands on either side of my head, as we remove our underwear...

I wake up the next morning, blinking quickly to try and get my eyes to stay open. Last night was amazing... I sigh, grinning to myself as I see how much of a mess we made. I'm all tangled up in the sheets, and there's fluff from the inside the pillows everywhere. I look over and I see Wesley laying on his stomach, and I lean over to see his mouth hanging open and he's lightly snoring.

I press my lips to the back of his neck, sliding my hand down his bare back and to his butt, squeezing it. Wesley jumps and I laugh, going back to lay down.

"You want round 2, yeah?" He asks, smirking at me as he rolls on top of me.

I giggle as he pins my hands up over my head, and he leans down, pressing his lips against my nose. He leads them down my face and onto my lips, kissing me passionately.

"I love you." I whisper.

"I love you too, baby." He whispers back and I bite my bottom lip, looking up at him as he hovers over me.

He rolls off of me, smirking to himself and I sit up.

"We should really clean this mess up." I mumble awkwardly and he laughs.

"I'll clean it up, you go do whatever you need to do. Don't worry." He says and I lean over and peck his lips.

"You're so sweet." I say, and I get up.

I realize I'm still naked and I grab something quickly, running towards the bathroom as I feel Wesley's eyes on me.

"Yeah, baby!" He yells, laughing and I blush, grinning to myself in embarrassment as I shut the door behind me.

After my shower, I get dressed and just decide to put my hair in a messy bun. I walk out of the bathroom and see Wesley on the end of the bed, watching the tv.

"How was your shower?" He asks, turning to me as I look at him.

"Good.. Now you go take one. You stink." I say, laughing as he scoffs, jokingly.

"Fine, but I'm not stinky." He says, acting like a 5 year old and I laugh.

"Just go. I'll make breakfast." I say, pushing him up off the bed and he pulls his sweatpants down on the way and I shake my head.

I head to his kitchen, starting breakfast and Wesley comes out a few minutes later with just a towel wrapped around his waist and his hair a mess. He comes up behind me, placing his hands on my waist as he rests his head on my shoulder.

"Whatcha making?"

"Cereal. It's the only thing I can cook." I say and he laughs a bit.

"Okay then." I give him a smile, handing him his bowl of cereal and we go sit down on the couch in the living room, turning the tv on as well.

"When are you gonna move your stuff in?" Wesley asks, while chewing his cereal.

"I need to soon. Probably tomorrow, I have to figure out all that stuff with the college since apparently I'm being kicked out."

"I wanna cuddle with you today though." He whines, putting his empty bowl on the coffee table in front of the couch.

"We can cuddle later." I say, leaning over to peck his lips.

"I love you."

"I love you, too." I say, picking up our bowls and taking them to the kitchen, putting them in the sink.

"I'll be back later." I say, walking to grab my bag and leaving, getting in Wesley's car and heading to the college.

When I arrive, I walk to the door quickly, noticing Thomas waiting for me.

"Mel, I'm so sorry-"

"It's not your fault, Thomas. It's mine." I say, walking right past him and he walks faster to catch up with me.

"Good news is this we don't have to fake date anymore." He says, smiling at me and I give him a nervous smile as we turn the corner, walking to Thomas' mom's office.

I open the door, barging in and Thomas tries to hold me back but I swat his hands away.

"Please tell me my scholarship isn't being ended just because I'm dating someone else!" I yell, slamming my fists against her desk and she almost jumps out of her chair.

"Mom, I tried to stop her." Thomas says, standing behind me.

"No it's okay, Thomas. Melanie, what's the problem?"

"My dad said he's gonna take away my scholarship just because I'm not dating Thomas."

"Hun, he can't necessarily do that... He told me he just wants you to move back to his house with him and your brother. That's all."

"Oh, well.." I say, standing up straight, taken aback.

"You two have classes in a few minutes. I'd go right now." She says and I nod, walking out with Thomas, confused.

"So we're gonna stay friends, right?" Thomas asks.

"Yeah.. Of course." I say and he smiles, pulling me in for a hug and I hug back.

"So, you and Wesley got back together, yeah?"

"Yep."

"That's great!"

"Yeah, I'm gonna move in with him now because my dad is gonna be stopping payments on my apartment soon."

"Well, that's amazing, Melanie. I'm gonna go, I'll see you in a bit." He says, kissing my cheek before running off.
