But You're The One I Want (A Wesley Stromberg Fanfic)

Chapter 22: Mum?

Summer's POV

CRASH!

"Ah fuck." I stir awake when I hear something break, and then someone swear.

I sit up and rub the sleep out of my eyes. I can still hardly see though, it's still dark out. It must be like midnight.

"Wes?... Wes what the hell are you doing here?" I see Wes in a wheelchair, which is smashed up against my small hospital table.

He gives me a sheepish smile; at lest I think he did, it's still too dark to see much. "Hey... I couldn't sleep properly since we didn't get to talk much. I wanted to know how you were going. Oh, sorry about that vase by the way. I still haven't gotten used to this wheelchair.

I giggle at his cute little ranting. "So let me get this straight; you couldn't sleep so you come barging in here, break a vase and wake me up, just to have a chat?"

"Uh... Yes?"

"Go back to bed Wes." I lie back down and turn over so I have my back to him, and I'm facing the window.

I hear him bang into the table a few times more as he tries to wheel his way over to me.

I feel warm lips being pressed against my nose. "I told you, " his voice is but a soft whisper, "I can't sleep. Why didn't you stay today?"

Do I really wanna tell him that his mother wants to wring my neck? Will he even believe me? I chew my bottom lips as I try to think of a response.

Wesley reaches his hand up to my bottom lip and pulls it out from between my teeth.

"Is it something to do with my mum?"

And he is on to me... "Why do you think it has something to do with your mum?"

"Well, after you left I could've sworn she muttered 'and stay out bitch.'"

"Oh..." Shit, we've been caught and I'm the one who has been dropped in the shit. "Yeah... She doesn't really like me. We had a bit of a fight while you were still knocked out."

"What? What about?"

"Uh... I told her that I was the one that wanted to go for a drive and then she started yelling at me that her baby wouldn't have even been in the car if it weren't for me that that it was entirely my fault. But, it's alright cause I know it was, so don't even worry about it. I'll just keep my distance..." My hands have intertwined themselves on my lap and my eyes are watching them as they fidget.

"You don't actually think that do you?" His hand covers both of mine and I can feel him watching me intently for my answer.

"Well..." I start, "if you wanna get technical..."

"Summer! There are no 'if's' and, or, 'but's' about it okay? This was in no way your fault. You weren't driving our car; you weren't driving the truck or the other cars that crashed into us. It's not your fault." He lectures me. Ugh! I am too tired for this shit.

I begin to giggle. I try to suppress it but I can't help it.

"What?"

"Nothing." I try and hold it but I fail miserably.

"What's so funny?"

"You said 'butts'." I say sounding like a three year old. I look at Wesley with tears in my eyes from trying to hold in my tremendous amount of laughter; and he just looks annoyed.

"Seriously?! That's all you got from that?!" He snaps. Reow. Someone has gotten out of the wrong side of the bed.

I'm still giggling. "Sorry, but you woke me up and when I haven't had enough sleep I get really silly."

"Yeah I noticed." Wes just rolls his eyes and looks away from me.

"Oh! Come on! It was still kinda funny." I poked him playfully in the shoulder. I wanted to see if I could coax a smile out of him.

I saw his crooked smile, which sent my heart a flutter, "Come here." He says as he gently takes a hold of my chin and pulls me forward and steals a kiss. It was a small peck, but still enough to feel the sparks.

He pulled away and before we had even opened our eyes I mumble, "No, more." And pull him back to me. I can feel him smile into our kiss.

God, I am never gonna get tired of that feeling, before I know it the kiss deepens.

"So... do you wanna... sleep in here?" I ask in between kisses.

"Mhmm," he murmured as he nodded into our kiss. We broke our intimate moment as he put both of his hands on the hospital mattress and pushed himself up off of the wheelchair. I placed my hands on either one of his biceps; I could feel his muscles rippling.

I shuffled over on the bed slightly and pulled back the covers so he could just jump straight in without having to worry about anything being in the way.

He swiveled his body so that his butt was on the bed and he slowly leant back and got as comfortable as he could with his stomach wound?

"Okay?" I asked.

"Okay." He responded.

I flipped the blanket back over the both of us and snuggled into his chest. I could hear his heartbeat beneath his chest and feel his arm around my waist. This is home; this is where I wanna stay.

"Ahem." I jumped about ten feet in the air when someone's clearing of their throat woke me from my blissful sleep. I looked around and saw my nurse Katie standing there looking at me with a suggestive eyebrow raise.

"I hate to be the bearer of bad news; but those beds are only made for one person and I don't know how long it has until it collapses. So... shoo." She said the last part directly at Wesley. He had a major case of bed and was looking around the room with his eyes half closed trying to figure out where he was. He looked absolutely adorable; I couldn't resist, I leaned over and gave him a quick peck on the cheek. He instantly smiled and kissed my cheek right back.

"Let's go love birds. Scoot on out." Katie requested again.

Wesley took the advice this time and slid out of the bed as gracefully as possible and back into his wheelchair.

Katie checks my vitals and makes sure I'm comfortable; then leaves to go and get me some breakfast.

Wes and I sit there just talking about nothing when I hear the door open. I turn my head and I see an, oh too familiar face.

"Mum?" I ask unsure if I am seeing thing or if she is really here.

"Oh sweetie!" She runs over to me with tears in her eyes and hugs me tightly.

Awh. How cute. Did anyone notice the little 'Fault In Our Stars' moment I put in there ;) hehe. Sorry this one took so long and isn't even a nice long chapter, but I didn't want to put all what was going to happen next in this one.
