Accidentally

14: accidentally confessing

Don't you just love finding out that your boyfriend spent two months in Florida with his ex girlfriend?

Because I know I don't.

I knew Hailey was running his concert as his new step in manager but I didn't know why or who she was. I thought I was being respectful by not asking but I guess I should have been more quizzical when it came to my questions.

I look down at the picture on my phone and sigh. I decide to lock it because no good will come from staring at it.

I was currently sitting in Tilly's. I ordered two drinks that had already reached our table but I was still waiting for Wes.

It had been two days since the big game and Wes' plane had just landed an hour ago. I made him agree to meet me here so we could talk. I wonder if he knows I saw the picture. Or if he knows there was a picture at all.

Just as I let my mind wander I hear the bell ring on the door and I look up to see Wes coming in.

A part of me wants to run up and hug him but I don't. His smile doesn't leave his face when he leans down to kiss me but I avoid it and he gets my cheek instead.

He frowns as he sits down. I push my drink away from me and cross my arms. Partially because it was horrible and partially because I wanted to make a point that I was upset.

"You don't look too happy to see me"

I scoff.

"Is everything alright?"

I place both my elbows on the table before unlocking my phone and sliding it over to him.

"I don't know Wes. Why don't you tell me. Do you think I'm ok after seeing this?"

He looks down at my phone extremely confused. Eventually realizations dawns on him and all the colour drains from his face.

"Talia, I. It's not what it looks like—"

I roll my eyes.

"Really Wesley? You're going to pull that card?"

I give him plenty time and chance to explain himself but he doesn't.

"I'm serious, it's not-we didn't-Talia I swear it's not what it looks like"

"Oh really? Because, I don't know,"

I pick up my phone and take a look at it again before showing it to him.

"Because to me, it looks a lot like your manager aka ex girlfriend that you neglected to tell me about is kissing you. MY boyfriend. Pretty sure it's exactly what it looks like!"

He runs a hand down his face before mumbling something.

"I knew you would react like this"

He sighs

"Like this?! Wesley how the hell am I supposed to react when I find out my boyfriend cheated on me!!"

His eyes open wide in shock.

"Talia I didn't cheat on you, you know that. Hailey she just—"

I wave my hands gesturing for him to stop.

"No Wesley. I don't care what Hailey did. Hailey is not my boyfriend and I didn't leave my trust with her to stay loyal to me when I'm not around."

He clenches his hands into fists. He was starting to get angry now.

"Don't act like I'm the only one at fault here! I know you've been screwing that friend Cole of yours. Don't act like I'm the cheater in this relationship!"
