///Back to WESLEY's POV///
TUESDAY 2/11
"I should really go home now, Har." I turned my phone on and checked the time. Four missed calls from It was nearly one on a school night, and I was still at Harleigh's, laying down in her bed with her between my arms; our legs intertwined.
"One more hour. Please?"
"Your wish is my command, Queen Harleigh Queen."
"Huh?" She laughed, confused.
"Nevermind." I ran my fingers through her hair and our lips met.
"You're such a dork."
---------------------------------------------
I unlocked the door to my house and slowly turned the knob.
The lights were completely dark, which ensured safety for my 3 a.m. ass to not be caught.
"Why the hell are you home so late?"
I jumped.
It was just Lennox, thank God.
"Or should I say early? It's almost 3. On a Tuesday." It was too dark to see her face, but she was using her disappointed and disapproving mother voice.
"Was working on a... project." I whispered, trying my best to keep it together.
"A project? Oh I'm sorry, did you say a project?" She laughed quietly to herself. "You were with Harleigh right? Did you guys-"
"Lennox, look, I'm tired. Can you just wait until tomorrow to yell at me?"
"Absolutely not, unless you want mom finding out where you really were. Lucky for you, I covered for your ass."
"Fine. I was at Harleigh's. You caught me, good job."
"And?"
"And thank you? Can I go now?"
"You guys had sex?"
"Lennox, why does this even matter?"
"Whatever. I'll just ask Nate anyway."
"We're dating. Happy?"
"DATING?" Lennox stood up from her seat and put her hands over her mouth.
"Lennox, shut the fuck up!" I whispered while making my way to the couch and passing out.
---------------------------------------------
"Mom?" I opened my half-opened my eyes to find my mom resting a heating pad on my forehead. "What time is it?" I sprang up from the couch reaching for my phone, but she lightly pushed me back down.
"Rest. School's over, honey."
Collective giggles came from the kitchen. Lennox and Ramona.
"I- You let me stay home?"
"I heard you were out late last night."
"Lennox told you?
"So it's true?"
"What- no, mom, no. I was here."
"It's 10 in the morning. It's snowing out; school was cancelled. Ramona offered to help Lena shovel."
I closed my eyes and went back to sleep.
I rolled over and fell right off the couch. I hated sleeping on it, but my house was so small after we moved, and sharing a room with Lennox was just weird. I'm just happy we had enough to be able to move into another house.
"Are you okay?" Ramona hurried to my side and giggled.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a bit out of it lately."
I sat back down on the couch and she sat on top of the table. We were practically touching. It felt weird being this close to Ramona, considering she was Lennox and Harleigh's friend. She wasn't loud and impulsive like Harleigh, or annoying and obnoxious like Lennox. She was just...
Fine. Calm. Okay. She kind of mirrored myself in a way.
"So you and Harleigh..."
"Lennox?" I rubbed my eyes and yawned.
"No actually, it was Harleigh who told me."
"Harleigh already told you?"
She seemed to be drifting off into thought. "You'd be surprised."
"Ramona?"
"Yeah?"
"Is there something you're not telling me?"
She gave me a forced smile and opened her mouth to say something.
"Wes, stop flirting with all my friends!" Lennox emerged from the upstairs, carrying her laptop.
"We weren't- I wasn't-" I stopped myself.
Ramona and Lennox left the room and now my thoughts was consumed with what secret Harleigh had in store now.
What was Ramona going to tell me?
