Chapter 8

Wes's POV

"We're going out with Beeze tonight." I smile at Thomas as he spins so fast from playing with his toys.

"What?! Forweal?!"

"Yup," I reply popping the p and he runs to his room.

What just happened?

He returns with a cute peach teddy bear.

"This is for her." He states placing it on the couch."I'm gonna ask her to be my girlfriend."

I raise both eyebrows at the little guy and placed him on my knee.

"But I wanted to ask her to be my girlfriend." I pouted and he gasped.

"So that means I'll have a mommy?"

I gulp hard, trying to control myself as memories flash through my head.

"Yes, but don't call her that yet okay? We don't want to scare her away."

"Okay, I'm just happy that I'll have a mommy now." He sighs happily leaning back on my chest and I place my chin on his head.

"Ouch, daddy your chin is hurting my head!"

"Sorry sorry, my bad." I remove my chin immediately and he settles himself once more, falling asleep.

Beeze's POV

So... I'm waiting tables again.

Sighing, I walk extra slow avoiding chairs and deliver all the orders safely. Thomas and Wes visited me today, I even got a pretty pink teddy bear.

Or was it peach?

Shaking my head, I remain focused on cleaning the last table for the day, but of course, the food ends up spiraling down onto the floor.

I knew what was coming.

"Beeze! To my office!" My aunt calls and I groan.

"I'm terribly sorry, someone will be with you soon."

I walk to her office and she sat on her desk. Staring at me.

"Do you think I'm a fool?" She asks and I raise my eyebrow.

"No..."

"Where were you last night?"

My heart starts beating fast and I avoid averting my eyes.

"In my room.." I lie in a 'duh' motion.

Her heavy hand comes colliding with my cheek and I yelp in pain.

"Don't lie to me." She warns and I stare at her straight in the eye.

"I was in the shop, I decided to stay there so I could get something extra to eat."

One.

Two.

Three.

"I knew it!" She yells.

Imbecile.

I have to be careful. I don't know if I can do this anymore.

I sigh and pick out a loose summer dress with a white jeans jacket.

I put my hair up into a... "Bun' and paired my outfit with my white vans.

I love that shoe.

I wait for his call, and as usual, I just close my eyes and jump.

"Hello there beautiful." He grins and I smile back.

We walk to the car and Thomas sat innocently in his car seat.

Until he saw me.

"Beeze!" He yells trying to reach out and I grin.

"Little one."

"Up! Up!" He screams and I turn to Wes who shrugs.

I unpin his car seat and pull him onto my lap.

"You look pretty." He tells me and I kiss his chubby cheeks.

"Thank you." He buries his face in my neck and I pat his back.

"Wes keep your eyes on the road," I tell him amused and he blushes.

"Is the old man blushing?" I tease and he rolls his eyes.

"Shut up Rapunzel."

I stood behind Thomas as he sat in the baby swings pushing him here and there.

"Up please." I lift him and place him down and he took off for the slides.

"Wanna take a walk?" Wes asks.

"And leave him unattended?"

"Right." He realizes face palming and I laugh.

"Let's just sit there, that way we can watch him." I point to the park bench and he nods.

We both sit and I take in the beauty.

"I wish I could see here in the day time." I murmur, laughing softly.

"Then do it."

"I have work." I shrug.

"But you don't get paid....."

"Wes, you don't understand... My aunt, she provides me with everything. If she ever finds out I'm not in my room right now... It's over for me."

"But you have me." He says and I shake my head.

"I don't want to depend on you, Wes."

"I would just be helping you, I have an apartment complex not too far from my company you could stay there."

"Wes... I can't."

"At least think about it..."

I sigh but nod.

"I'm always here for you, you know that right?" He says pulling me close to him and I smile. "I promise. And on that note."

He stands and I look at him in confusion. He has a small box in his hand and he got down on one knee.

"Bloody no..." I gape and he grins.

"Miss Aurora Simmons... Would you give me the honor and be my girlfriend?"

"But it's only the third date?" I grin.

"Why waste time? I need you, you don't need me, its the perfect match." He jokes and I giggle.

"Ye-"

"Did she say yes daddy? Did she? Did she?" Thomas comes running.

"I don't know yet buddy."

"Oh.." He murmurs. "Say yes so you can be my mommy."

I stare at Thomas and Wes takes in a sharp breath.

A soft smile graces my lips and I nod.

"Of course, yes!"

Everyone claps and I realize we had drawn a crowd.

As soon as Wes got up though...

"Mr roman! Is that your new fiance?"

"How long have you been dating!"

"Mr roman!"

"Beeze quick into my jacket, we can't let them see your face!"

I understood why.

I would be all over the news and magazines then my aunt would find out and I'd be dead.

Great.

Thomas seemed used to it as he maneuvered between the men and ran for the car.

We, however, were trapped.

"Crap! Crap! Crap!" Wes shouted.

I guess he found another way because soon we were both in the car.

"That was close." He mutters.

"You can say that again."

He drives me home and we both stand awkwardly below my window.

"So... You're my girlfriend."

"And you're my boyfriend," I say chuckling and I bite my lip averting my eyes.

"Oh screw this." He murmurs before crashing his lips to mine. We move in sync and he pushes me against the house wall. Caught in the moment he grabs the back of my thighs and lifts me up.

He groans as I flick my tongue but I bite his lips as an end.

Breathless and blushing I avert my eyes.

"Ehem, Thomas is waiting." He smiles warmly and I return the smile.

"Right. I'll see you tomorrow." He says still not moving, just looking at me and I nod.

"Bye.." I tell him.

"Bye.." He replies. Still. Not. Moving.

"Wes." I deadpan.

"Okay okay fine." He pecks my lips once more before heisting me up onto the window edge I do the rest and wave at him.

"Sleep tight, baby!" He whispers yells and I grin.

"You too!"
