The Lovable Jerk (boyxboy)

Chapter 29

"Did you sleep with Westin?" Finn asked as we made our way to the cafeteria.

The question was so sudden that it caused me to choke on my own spit and look up at him with round eyes. He sighed walking ahead and choosing a table for us to sit on. I followed and sat right next to him.

"So did you?" He spoke up again.

"No...not yet," I told him honestly, eventually it was going to happen...I already knew we were going to do it at some point and Westin might look calm but I knew he wanted. It was most luckily eating him up waiting for so long.
"Are you going for give Callen a chance?" I asked as I started eating and his cheeks flashed red.

He didn't tell me about Callen and him but it was easy to tell. When we went to Westin's house they kept staring at each other and Callen kept throwing flirts around him and he seemed to enjoy them.

"I don't want to..." He told me honestly. "What if he turns out like Garrett?" He sighed as he watched me eat my sandwich.

I can't really vauch for Callen but I knew he wasn't like that. During the short time I've known him...he seemed to be nothing but the sweetest guy obsessed with food. I still wonder how he wasn't getting fat with all the food he eats.

"I don't think he is that type of guy, Finn but if you think he is then why don't you just study him for a few days or weeks...give him a chance."

"You really think I should?" He asked his face written nothing but uncertainty and I nodded, It was better fearing what would happen than possibly losing the ideal guy.

He told me he'd try before we continued our lunch.

"Invite your boyfriend over for dinner, today." Mom suggested as she watched Tobias claim the school bus with Westin's car pulled up in front of the house.

"Why?" The word slipped out before I could think about it. I knew why she was asking me to do that but I couldn't help but be defensive.

Yes, she knew Westin was my boyfriend but I didn't want them to meet. I loved my mom to bits but she terrified me and she could say anything that Westin would use to end things with me...maybe? I had nothing to hide but I did not completely trust my mother.

"What do you mean why? I want to meet your boyfriend Arlo...you've met their parents multiple times." She stated.

Yeah, but his parents are normal. I wanted to say but nodded instead. "I'll ask if he is available," I said before walking ahead. She waved goodbye before heading back inside.

"Hey, Westin." I greeted my boyfriend before getting in the passenger. He smiled at me before giving me a quick peck on the lips and letting out a quick hey.

Westin told me that Callen had stopped hanging with him due to Finn 'hulking' him. It seemed as though he was still getting used to them not hanging out as much as he did really which was a little surprising since Callen stayed at Westin's home, kind of.

"All I'm saying is that he went from coming straight to my house after class or when free to just coming twice a week because he was too lazy to come to my house or busy chasing Finn." He told me before finally pulling up in front of the school. I gave him a small smile and he looked beyond confused.

"Sounds to me like you miss him," I told him, and before he could do anything I spoke up once again. "He and Finn are still on their talking stage, sure it's not official like us but it's way more time-consuming."

"I guess...It's just that Callen has never got so hooked up about a guy especially while he was still doing the chasing." He clarified and I nodded in understanding, I hadn't known Callen but he seemed so laid back so I was really hoping this thing he was starting with Finn was not going to hurt anyone.
