Arlo
"I am going to sleep." Callen said, heading upstairs. "Jillian, don't want to sleep too?" He said stopping mid way. Jillian looked at him confused. "I heard you yawning a while ago...YOU SHOULD GO TO SLEEP TOO." he said as if trying to signal Jillian, who seemed to finally get it.
Jillian nodded and followed Callen upstairs leaving me and Westin in the sitting room. I curiously looked at Westin for an answer who just shrugged. I silently started biting my nails. Nervous habit I never grew out of. Why did I feel so awkward when I was alone with him?
"Are they sharing a room?" I asked him trying to break the silence, before he could speak my phone started ringing and Xander's name flashed on it. I really didn't to speak to him but I found myself answering the call.
"Xander?" I answered and noticed Westin scowl at me.
"I forgive you and I'm willing to take you back...just tell me where you are and I'll pick you up." He said and I almost choked on my own saliva.
He forgave me? But I didn't do anything wrong. Never mind that Arlo. He said he forgave you so that means you can work things out with him. Meaning he'll love you again. I'll have someone who loves me again. This is good, right?
"You still love me, right?" I had to make sure.
"Of co--" Suddenly, Westin snatched the phone away from me.
"Hey!" I cried out.
"Stay away from him, Xander. He does not need toxic people in his life." Westin said then ended the call.
Was he insane?! Now how in the world was I going to get back with Xander, now? Doesn't he understand...I need Xander. I need someone to love me...for once. I need him.
"Give me my phone!" I exclaimed.
"Why are you doing this to yourself? Why are you ignoring the fact that he is a bad person who doesn't give two shits about you? Stop it, Arlo. It's not worth it." He said sounding a little pissed off.
What did he mean why was I doing this to myself? All wanted--actually no, All I needed is to be loved is that too much to ask? And I know Xander loves me, he just had a weird way of showing it.
"Give me my phone, I'll call an Uber to pick me up." I grumbled, standing up.
"No." he replied without even looking at me.
"I'll call the cops, this is kidnapping!" I exclaimed and heard him chuckled.
"I have your phone, remember?" He mocked.
Embarrassed, I huffed and reached for my phone but tripped on my own two feet and fell on top of him. I noticed he didn't make an effort to get me off him but his eyes kept darting from my mouth to my eyes. He leaned in for a kiss and when our lips were only inches apart I rapidly stood up. There was no way, I was cheating on Xander.
No matter how hot or sexy he was. I needed to get out of here, now! If I stayed longer might just give in. Westin stood up having a blank expression like I didn't just reject him. Well, that was kind of hush. He could at least act hurt.
"Are you okay?" He asked looking at me confused. "Your face was scrunched up." He explained and I nodded, grabbing my phone but he had a really good grip.
Why won't he just give me my phone back? Didn't he know that this was legal?! He was practically stealing property!
"You're going to tell him to come pick you up, aren't you?" He accused. There was no way he was asking me with that expression on his face and who could blame him because indeed I was planning on doing what he just said.
"So what if I'm going to ask him to pick me up? He is my boyfriend after all."
"Arlo, he cheated on you. He is a liar and manipulator. Are you really going back to him?"
Who cares if he cheated? He only did it once and anyway people change. I should at least give him the benefit of the doubt. Everyone deserves a second chance, right? I snatched my phone from Westin and texted Xander to meet me at the central park. I turned back to see Westin shaking his head at me.
"Westin, thank you and I'm sorry. You did this for nothing but I swear I'm grateful." I backed away and headed to the door.
Westin didn't make an attempt to stop me and I was so glad he didn't. I needed to get out of here anyway. I did not like the idea of staying with Westin not because I hate him or anything like that no it was because if I stayed I might have been guilty of doing what Xander accussed me of.
"Let me drive you...It's not safe out there." Westin suggested.
I wanted to disagree but he has helped me so much so far and I already declined to stay here. I nodded and watched as he grabbed his phone and keys from the couch. We both made our way to the door and I opened it and find someone in front of it.
She frowed her brows at me and flipped her brunnet hair as she stared at me. Why did I feel like she hates me? I didn't even know her. She slightly pushed me away and glared at Westin. At first Westin seemed a little surprised to see her then went back to his expressionless face.
"You stopped calling." She huffed.
"I moved on, Natalie." Westin said, directly looking at me and I knew what he was trying to do so I immadietly shook my head at him but he approached me and put one of his arms around my waist.
The weird thing is I was way too comfortable in his arms, his touch calmed me for some reason. Natalie looked at us and glared directly at me, If looks could kill I would be died now. Westin then proceeded to pull me closer and whisper something on my ear, so Natalie wouldn't hear.
"Play along." He whispered, giving me a light kiss on the cheek now I know that meant nothing but it still had me blushing like a maniac. He seemed pleased by my reaction because it angered Natalie more.
"How in the world are you the one to move on? You were the one who fucked up!" She spat and she looked ready to slap Westin.
"Our arguement was fucking stupid. Anyway I told you I did not want to meet your mother but you forced me to. You did it this to yourself. " He stated.
"Why him?" She questioned, looking at me.
"He understands the term casual relationship." He said and my eyes widened but I did not say a word.
What could I say anyway? She raised a brow and accused him of lying. He didn't like that one bit. He pulled my waist and simply faced me. Not giving me time to react. I wanted to argue and ask him what the hell thought he was doing but stopped myself maybe curiosity got the best of me but I watched as he leaned in to kiss me and I knew I should have been pushing him away but instead I leaned in and let our lips join.
He immediately dominated the kiss and I was beyond shocked. Not only were his lips incredibly soft but they were also smooth. I regret to say this but Xander needed to take some lessons from him. My body shivered as he continued the kiss to my neck and suddenly I was roughly pushed but did not fall because of Westin's grip on hip.
I did not even notice Natalie approach us. I found Natalie glaring at me and gasped when I realised what just did. I cheated on Xander.
"I knew it!!!" Westin's dad squealed standing at the front door.
Oh my God. Tell me he did not see us making out!
