You settled into bed after your long day of wondering why Weston couldn't just stay this morning. You hadn't heard from him all day and you definitely were not going to be the first one to reach out.

You figured he was just a little upset because of the "girlfriend" comment that you made, It was meant to be a light hearted joke, but you should've considered how it would make him feel, especially since you two were already advancing your "relationship" pretty quickly... for him, at least.

You hadn't really had a lot of time to yourself where you had felt relaxed, the past couple of weeks had been filled with constant commotion in your brain between the feelings you had for Thomas and Weston.

The thought of Thomas made you cringe. You weren't fully moved on. You couldn't pretend like you were either. Certain things Weston did and said reminded you of Thomas, but you obviously kept those thoughts to yourself.

Of course after your antics at the party, you proved to yourself that it was Weston you truly wanted, but that didn't mean that you lost all feelings for Thomas. You pushed those feelings away though.

Weston was willing to try more with you, and you couldn't be happier... Well, you could be happier, but for the sake of how you're life had been going, what you had right now wasn't all that bad.

You just wish that Weston was willing to commit more. Especially because you wanted to be apart of his life and Kalynn's life at some point eventually. You just weren't really sure how to execute that without making things more official with Weston, and you weren't even sure if that was the end goal of what you two were doing.

Everything was so confusing.

Your phone buzzed.

Weston

Come over tonight?

Since the whole Thomas extravaganza, you hadn't been over to Weston's place, it had just been him coming over to yours. You didn't hate the idea of it, but something about being over at Weston's apartment late at night just reminded you of what you really mean to Weston...

Nothing.

Nothing important at least. You were just some friend that he could fuck every now and then. You decided that it would be alright though, It's not like you were a stranger to storming out of his apartment when things got too much for you to handle.

You pulled out your phone to reply.

You

Sure, You want me to stay over?

Weston

Yea, I don't mind.

You hated that. Weston was never sure of what he wanted and he never let you know what he really wanted.

It was always "sure" or "idc" or "whatever"

He never gave you a strong answer, which didn't exactly make you feel wanted in his presence.

You started to pack some things for overnight, your toothbrush, some extra clothes to sleep in, hair tie, makeup removers...

All the essentials.

You looked at yourself in the mirror before you left to make sure that you looked some what presentable.

You were wearing just some old sweatpants and a baggy t-shirt... Your hair was up in a ponytail and you had some loose pieces coming out. You didn't mind how you looked, and it's not like you were going to get all dressed up just to undo it in a couple hours to go to bed.

You grabbed your bag, keys, and locked the door on your way out.

When you arrived at Weston's place you texted him to let him know you were there, a couple seconds later he opened the door to let you in.

"Hey, what's up?" He asked as he led you to the couch where he had some random show that you didn't know the name of playing.

"not much, was just about to lay in bed before you texted."

"ah, I caught you at the perfect time then."

"Why'd you leave so quick this morning?" You asked, you knew that it was abrupt, but you figured being out there was better than just allowing yourself to guess all night.

"uhm.. I don't know I guess the talk about you kind of infiltrating my life was a bit much." Good word choice, Weston.

"Infiltrating your life, hm??" By the look on his face, he knew that you were upset by that.

"Well, not like that... Obviously. Y/n, I mean seriously. You know that I'm not ready to make things more than what they are, or at least more than what we talked about last night. At least not yet. We had fun this morning, but I need to take it slow.. Alright?" He sounded sincere, which hurt. You constantly forget that he's a person too, but sometimes you can't help but feel used.

"I'm sorry Wes, I know. I spring things on you too quick and I'm sorry, but you have to understand that if I'm going to take it slow, there needs to be times where you can adapt to picking up the speed a little bit."

"Understandable." He replied. You were glad this didn't end in a fight as most things with you guys did. Communicating was important.

You shifted your focus toward the t.v. to try and decipher whatever it was that Weston was watching.

"I wanted to take you up on your offer though." Weston interrupted.

"What offer?" You asked.

"Hanging, you.. me... kalynn?" You were shocked. If you had left out your dumb girlfriend comment earlier, your day could've been a little bit better.

"Have you talked to Kalynn about it?"

"Yeah, a bit. She said she was down. She just didn't want it to be awkward. So try not to talk about"

"us?" You interrupted. You knew what he was going to say. You're friendship with Kalynn ended due to the fact that you were "seeing" Weston so mentioning him, especially if you two weren't dating, was probably a no go.

"Yeah, exactly."

"No problem." You weren't hurt by it, the last thing you'd want anyway if you were hanging with Kalynn would be to talk about her brother and you. You wanted it to be as close to the old days as you could get it.

"Alright. Maybe tomorrow we could all go out and get coffee or something? Obviously not film or anything." You wondered why he even added that. Even if you were dating Weston, being apart of his fame was never something that interested you, of course if you guys were to be official, you'd want to be known about, but being apart of what he was accomplishing on his channel was never a dealbreaker.

"Well, Obviously" You added.

"Okay haha, Just wanted to make sure you knew it wasn't going to be a camera ambush." He joked.

"So do you want to watch something?"
