Head over Heels - A Wesley Stromberg ( Emblem3 ) Fanfic

Chapter 10

* 6 months later, Jennifer's POV *

I threw my head back in laughter at his playful comment to my sister as her mouth fell open and she slapped his arm. Wesley and my sister developed a strong bond that I think only they could understand. Keaton and I have became unbelievably close and he's the sweetest thing. Keaton and Emily have been dating for almost 2 months now and they haven't left each others side since. She always goes to his house during the week and on weekends and Wesley always asked me to come with her but as much as I wanted to, my mom bugged me about studying. Wesley and I have been slightly distant because I needed to focus on studying for my regents but now I can be with him any time I want. Today was the last day of school and Drew was picking us up with Alanna. Drew is 20, almost 21 so he finished high school already. The four of us were standing outside, spread out around the sidewalk. Wesley and Emily were going back and forth, rambling on about whatever as Keaton and I talked, "do they ever stop?" Keaton laughed and he shook his head, "nope. Whenever she comes over, they always fight about something. It's actually quite entertaining," he admitted, watching as Wesley mocked everything she did, even her specific hair flip she did whenever she gets agitated. He never fails to make me smile and ever since I met him, my feelings for him only heightened and I wondered if he felt the same way about me. I cocked my head slightly to the side as I thought and Keaton furrowed his eyebrows in question, "what's on your mind?" I turned my head as I looked at him with a blank expression, "eh. Nothing." I looked down at my feet and bit my lip, brushing my hair from my face as the wind fought me. I haven't yet told him that I liked Wesley, although I think he knows because the times we actually do all hang out, my vision never leaves his. Wes and I always have little moments where we'll stare at each other but I always look away first from intimidation. He makes me feel so weak when I'm around him because of how strong my feelings are towards him. I hadn't noticed I was zoning out until Keaton tapped on my arm, "Jenn?" I turned my body the complete opposite way and faced him, squinting my eyes from the sun, "yeah?" He looked at me and said lowly, "seriously, what's wrong?" I hesitated before deciding to tell him but at that moment, Wesley walked over to us. "I'll tell you later," I mouthed to Keaton before facing Wes. He lazily wrapped his arms around me and let his weight fall as I burst out laughing since he was much stronger than I was and I couldn't hold him up. "Wes," I chuckled, bending my knees as he continued to lean on me. He snickered as he removed himself from me and lightly punched my arm, putting his up in defense. There he goes again, in 'playful' mode. I just shook my head and laughed at him as he punched my arm again, "no, come on, hit me." I looked up at him as he narrowed his eyes at me, turning his head slightly. I smirked, looking forward again and watched the cars as I lifted my hand and lightly punched his forearm. Then he dropped his arms and lazily threw one upon my shoulder, "we should hang out tonight." I nodded and bit my lip, "yeah, but where do you want to go?" "Let's just all hang out at my house," Wesley suggested, looking down at me. I smiled and nodded in agreement as Drew pulled up. "I'm so sorry guys, the traffic was horrible," Drew apologized as us four all squeezed in the backseat. I sat at the window with Wesley next to me, Emily next to him and Keaton by the opposing door. "It's totally fine bro, hey, do you both want to come over tonight?," Wes asked, looking back and forth between him and Alanna. Drew and Alanna exchanged looks before Alanna looked back at him, "yeah, we'll come." Wesley showed his smile that made my heart flutter and I couldn't help but stare at him. He turned to look at me and I quickly looked away and out of the window. I felt the heat rising off my cheeks as I blushed. I slowly looked back at him and he was scrolling through his phone, eyes glued to the screen. I looked back out the window and rested my chin upon my hand, listening to the faint sound of Drew and Alanna's conversation. I then felt something touch my arm and I looked up at Wes, noticing he was pointing to our little siblings. They had there foreheads pressed together and Keaton was playing with Emily's fingers as a smile formed on my lips. I wanted that to be Wes and I. My vision darted up at Wes, who was already looking at me. I then felt his fingers slip through mine as he entwined our hands. I bit my lip before laying my head upon his shoulder. I wanted this moment to last a lifetime but Drew arrived in front of my house right then. I grabbed my bag and opened the car door, struggling to wriggle out of the tight space. I stepped out and waved to them as Emily rushed over to me from the opposing side. "Bye babe!," Keaton called from the car as Emily pressed her palm to her lips and blew the kiss in his direction. I watched Wesley the whole time as he did the same to me, his eyes boring into mine. I waved again as Drew quickly drove away, leaving Emily and I. "I don't know why he hasn't asked her out yet," Emily mumbled under her breath as we stepped through the front door, thinking I didn't hear her. "Who?," I asked, kicking off my shoes. "Wes, he talks about you all the time, your name never leaves his mouth!," Emily threw her hands in the air, bringing them back down as her hands thudded against her thighs. I shyly smiled to myself, "really?" "Yeah, you're all he talks about, 'jenn this, jenn that'," she mimicked as she walked into our kitchen and straight for the fridge. I sat down at the small island in the center of our kitchen and crossed my arms, laying them upon the countertop. I buried my face in the crevice of my left arm and secretly smiled, thinking about all the times we've spent together. Why hasn't he asked me out yet? What was he waiting for?
