Locked once more(Book 2)

Chapter 37

Adrian and I turn around, simultaneously. We already knew who it was, but we were lost for words. We had been caught in a moment together. I know what everyone was thinking around. They thought "Why was Addison flirting with Derek's cousin after sleeping with Wes, and dating Derek?" Truth is, I was just trying to make myself happy while we were here. I didn't know how else to deal with the pain of Derek Breaking up with me, and Wes wanting to remain friends. I needed to get over them, and quickly. I know that sounded awful, I didn't want Adrian to seem like the fallback guy, he deserved more than that.

Adrian backed away a few inches as we turned to see Wes standing there, but not in shock to see us together, more agitated that we were spending so much time together. Honestly, he had no right to be angry or upset. I slept with the guy, told him I loved him, and then he told me he wanted to be friends. Because of Derek. And then Derek decides he doesn't want to be with me and is bad for me. So really I should be mad at them. We had been through too much together.

Faith notices Wes, and she stretches, walking over to him. He pats her on the head a few times before standing straight again. I had thought Wes would just leave afterward, but he had a few things to say to us. Not that it was rude, or mean, but it was not his business either way.

"You two may want to watch yourselves, anyone could have come through, it wouldn't be too hard to get yourself shot, not paying attention to your surroundings," He said. I knew he was being snarky. Honestly, he was probably more upset about the fact that I told Derek about us.

"Not to worry, I would have never let anyone hurt Rosa, she was safe with me," Adrian says, looking at me. I nod grinning.

"You might be here to protect her, but I'm not sure having fun is on the agenda Adrian, and by the way Addison, in case you were wondering, your mom will be joining us for dinner, Lee too, so if I were you, I would come prepared for awkward silence, and weird staring," He said. He was being a dick. And for what? Was he sore? I give a smirking grin, knowing he had never been rude to me before, I knew he wouldn't be this way unless something was upsetting.

"You know Wes, being an asshole is an option," I said. He raises a brow and nods.

"Yeah you're right, Adrian, and Addison, see you at the table," He says before walking away.

Adrian gave me a look as if to tell me he was sorry. I knew what he meant. He did not speak up, but this was an emotional war between me and Wes. it was hard to swallow, that Wes was being an ass after being so kind to me, and then sleeping with me. I wanted to blame it on the fact that he wanted in my pants, but it was not. He had feelings for me long before that. And he blamed himself a lot for things he shouldn't but he had no right chiming in on me and Adrian. That was our business. If I wanted to like someone besides the two douchebags that I had prior feelings for, then I had that right.

Adrian and I placed the pizzas on the cart and asked the chefs to bring them in, along with some heated cheese sticks that Adrian placed in the oven for a few minutes. When we were done telling the chefs to bring them in at exactly six-thirty, we left for the dining room. It wasn't long after we made our way in, that my mother, Lee and Derek joined us. The last ones to arrive were Tracy and Walter. We weren't the first ones, Noah and Chloe were waiting with Riley and Matthew. Chloe and Riley pissed me off earlier, letting my mother come in and being okay with it.

Adrian and I took out normal seats, but the end where Walter usually sat, had one extra small table connected to make room for my mother and Lee. Again Derek was seated in front of me on the other side of Tracy. However, Lee was seated beside Derek, and Wes was on the other side of Lee. My mother was on the other side of my Father beside Riley. Everyone else had their normal seats. Adrian was beside me. I wanted to run, but what good would that have done? We had thirty-six slices of Pizza waiting, and I was starving. It was ten minutes until dinner was served, and it was silent, for a few minutes.
