Wes's pov:

I did it.

I finally fucking did it. I told her how I felt.

All thanks to Rowan.

"Wes?" Rowan called from his room.

"Yeah?" I poked my head into his room. We had come back from the hospital a few hours ago.

"Come in. I wanna say something."  I walked into his room and plopped on his bed.

"What's up?"

"You like her don't you?" Rowan asked, eliciting a look of confusion from me.

"Like who?" I slowly asked, still confused.

"Meera." He cleared his throat, diverting the  question back to me. "Wes you like her,"

"I don't know." I ashamedly admitted. "She makes me go crazy."

"Wes, I know what love is when I see it. And you clearly love her."

"Does she love me though?" I counteracted.

"Have you seen the way she looks at you? Wes, that girl has always been in love with you. You were just too blind to see it." Rowan scoffed. "If she didn't have eyes for you, I'd have snatched her up right away."

"Huh?" He likes her?

"Wes, I'm not saying I like her like that or love her like you do, but she's an amazing person and I hope to find someone like her."  He went on. "If you let her go, I'm grabbing her hand." I gaped at his revelation. "I've tried my hand at finding a person but there's no one here that's caught my eye. She's fucking amazing and everyone loves her." His voice went firm for the next words. "Don't let her go, Wes."

"I won't." I said slowly.

I shook that memory out of my mind and made a mental note to thank Rowan later on. "Do you want to come into my house?" I asked Meera once we pulled into my driveway.

"Sure,"

I unlocked the garage door and we both walked upstairs to my room. "Sit down. We don't have to do anything if you don't want to." I added, patting the space next to mine on the bed.

She hesitantly sat down, leaving a foot of space between us. "Really?" I laughed.

"Whatever." She muttered, red flaming up her neck.

"C'mere." I sighed, but she didn't move so I pulled her into me. "We are going to make out some more," I mused, looking down at her. "And then take a nap. How does that sound?"

"Good," she tipped her head up and I pressed a kiss to her lips.

I pushed back, breaking our kiss and my head landed on the fluffy pillow behind me, her head thudded on my chest. "Oomph!" I heard from her.

Looking down at her, I smiled. She pushed herself up and kissed me again, this time drawing it out even more.

I flipped us over so I was on top. Once we had enough of devouring each other's mouths, I rested my head on her shoulder, drawing shapes on her shoulder bone, her hands in my hair.

I'm never letting go.

I don't remember when exactly I dozed off but I woke up around six-ish with Meera's head curled in the crook of my neck, her hair splayed on my pillow and bicep, one of her legs was thrown on top of mine and my arms were curled around her.

I didn't plan on moving because Meera was still fast asleep but I had to pee. So I moved out from under her, struggling not to wake her up, placing a pillow under her head to make up for my neck. I watched for a second, making sure she wouldn't wake up and while she shuffled a little for comfort.

When I came back, her hand was dangling off the bed so I picked it up and placed it next to her.

A text from my mom popped up on my phone saying that we're going out to dinner and taking Meera with us.

I replied and then tried to wake Meera up. "Milaya?" I gently tapped her shoulder. "Wake up." I muttered, dropping my lips on her cheek. She groaned, finally stirring.

"Hi," I whispered.

"Hey," She rasped, giving me a small smile.

"You're coming to dinner with us."

"Tonight? As in right now?"

"Yes, lyubov." I sighed, pulling her up into my chest, kissing her hair while she wrapped her arms around me.
