Chapter 29 Eyes

Wes' POV

Hours later I wake with her cuddled up next to me. *She was warm and soft and I really did not want to get up.* I'd much rather skip school today and just hold her, but I've actually got a freaking test today! *Who the hell gives tests the first week of school? Well, apparently my economics professor!*

I hold her just a moment longer, pondering what today was going to be like. *Yesterday was hell. Would today be any better?* I don't know how it could be worse, but I really don't want to jinx it.

I sigh and go grab a quick shower and get ready for my day. By the time I'm done, Jamie and her sweet sleepy face is up, sitting on my bed, still in the shirt I gave her last night. It's one of my baseball jerseys, and it's got my name on it. *She looks so adorable! She should totally wear that all day long!*

"Thanks, Wes," she whispers.

"No prob. Grab your cloths, and we'll stop at your room so you can get ready, then we can go grab breakfast," I suggest. Even though I would love nothing more than to have her wear nothing but my shirt all day long, I definitely don't want anyone else to see it! She has the sexiest legs and I don't plan on sharing them with anyone else... Maybe she could wear the shirt with some leggings? That way she can still wear my name all over campus...

She nods and hops up off my bed to grab the clothes she wore yesterday and runs into my bathroom. I sigh as I watch her close the door behind her giving me a wink.

A few minutes later I'm sitting on her bed listening to her take her shower and wishing I was in there with her. I want to feel her soft wet body beneath my fingers as I press her up against the wall... *But not yet. She isn't ready...*

Half hour later Jamie and I are sitting in the Coffee Nook with our muffins and coffee, sitting at one of the little tables. Unfortunately there were quite a few students who had the same idea, and many of them came up to us and tried to give Jamie a hard time. *I didn't like it at all*. It was so frustrating watching the girls try to harass Jamie, and she'd just turn away from them.

Many of the girls tried to separate me from my girlfriend and sit on my lap. But I wasn't having any of it. *I wasn't in the market and I let them know it too.* I was getting so damn angry. Couldn't they see we were here together?

"Listen to me very carefully. *It wasn't Jamie who asked me to be her boyfriend. I pursued her! I wanted her!* I've been single because *no one else* could compare to *her!* So *leave us the hell alone!*" I grumbled at the fifth girl trying to put her hands on me.

She gave me a pouty face, but I ignored her and faced my beautiful princess.

I dropped Jamie off at her statistics class with a hard kiss. "Be safe, princess," I whispered. I didn't want to leave her here, but I had a test in 15 minutes.

"Good luck, Wes," she gave me a shy smile. She knew I was worried about this test. I'd spent my whole time away from her just studying yesterday. It was stressful.

Surprisingly the day went quickly and I was finally dropping Jamie back at work, *against my better judgement.* She's only worked for two freaking days and each day has had her scared by the end.

I trudge through my room and start working on my homework. I've only been studying for a half hour when my door gets slammed open.

*Don't people knock? I've gotta start locking my door!* The last thing I want is to finally get Jamie naked and have these bastards come crashing in.

There stood Neo, Ax and Ry.

I sigh in frustration. *Why can't I just have a couple hours of peace?* This whole damn day has been frustrating with one problem after another, and it's making me on edge.

"Whaddya want?" I demand.

Axel and Ryan look desperate. I know I've been blowing them off, *but I haven't been ready to talk to any of them.* I don't know how much longer I would need, but I'm still not in the mood to talk to them after what they did to me and Jamie.

Neo, however just looks smug. *Bastard. Why is he even here?* Did Ryan invite him here?

"Look Wes. We know we are assholes and we just wanted to say we are sorry," Ry tried to talk to me.

*"Did you fix the problem?*" I ask, crossing my arms in front of my chest. I know for a fact that the answer is a *big fat NO!*

"We've been trying?" Axel looks uncertain. I don't know what *'trying'* entails, but it sure hasn't done a *damn thing*.

Neo just chuckles and shrugs his shoulders. "Why does it matter, man? From what I've heard you've become popular with the ladies now. You don't need Jamie anymore," he smirks at me.

Ax punches the guy in the shoulder and glares at him. *"What the hell's wrong with you man?*" he demands. "We are trying to apologize, not antagonize him! Don't mess around with Jamie!"

"Well, Wes took her before she had the chance to play the field... *Maybe I just want my turn?*" he smirks. "You know, spread the love and all that..."

"I'm not taking turns Neo. *She's mine* and *you'd better stay the hell away from her!"* I growl. I don't know what I would actually do to him if he put his hands on my girl, but I have a feeling it might have something to do with me taking a bat to the bastard and I would probably end up in cuffs.

"You can't be serious," he snorts. *"She's just a chick man.* You can have anyone you want. What the hell is so special about this one?"

Suddenly my phone buzzes.

What now?

I pull it out and freeze.

"Princess?" I demand.

"Wes!" she sobs. I don't ask for clarification. I'm on my feet and grabbing my keys.

*"I'm on my way!"* I state.

I push past the guys and jump into my car. I floor it and make it to Sunny Day Trendz in 5 minutes. Guess it was a good thing the cops were busy elsewhere.

I push through the doors and my girl runs into my arms.

"What's going on, baby?" I ask, scared to death. *She did exactly what I told her to do. She called when something was wrong, and I'm so glad she did*. She trusts me... Later I would be super happy about this, *but right now I'm panicking.*

She just points.

And there, *standing in the middle of the damn store is a bloody mannequin dressed just like Jamie* (they even got the eyes right), holding a sign. My blood runs cold as I read it.

*"What is as unique as a fingerprint? It is part of the body's information superhighway? And are the windows to the soul?*" I swallow.

I think for a second and look between the mannequin and my girlfriend. *"The answer is eyes,"* I choke.
