Weslyn was absolutely exhausted. She'd spent the entire day at her studio snapping photos. She didn't have anything better to do. The lads still weren't back from their tour, and Lucy was back home with Layla meaning they were back to their normal schedule of sports and acting jobs. It was Mandy's turn to be out of town on a modeling job in Prague, and Weslyn still hadn't heard anything from Paul.
Maria still hadn't sent any more news on maybe visiting, but she'd sent loads of photos and several letters to Lucy and Layla. She'd sent Weslyn several letters as well, but none of them mentioned a visit or whether she'd gotten the part she'd hoped for.
Weslyn collapsed onto the bed in Paul's house. She hadn't ever considered it being her house. She'd lived there for quite some time now, but she never called it her home. It was Paul's. She considered maybe getting a place of her own, but she a Paul were getting quite serious and it felt like the second she got her own place she'd just be back here with Paul not long after. It felt like a waste of time and effort to move and then more than likely move right back in.
"Why does everything take so much effort?" She groaned kicking off her shoes. She was in serious need of a nap. She closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around a pillow. It smelled like Paul and it made her miss him as she fell into sleep. She dreamed about him for two hours exactly.
She only woke up because the phone was ringing. Well what woke her up was the fact that the phone stopped ringing mid-ring. It startled her because she was supposed to be home alone. She didn't have a clue who would answer the phone. She got up and crept into the hall, hoping whoever was talking on her phone was someone she knew. When she reached the doorway to the living room she was shocked to see Layla sitting on the couch talking to whoever had called while Lucy watched cartoons from the floor.
"What are you guys doing here?" She asked ruffling her hair, "You scared the hell out of me."
"Wes said a dirty word!" Lucy squealed with laughter. Weslyn chuckled and sat on the couch next to Layla.
"We stopped by to check on you," Layla said, "since we haven't seen you in a while." weslyn put her head on Layla's shoulder and smiled lightly.
"You heard from the boys?" She asked yawning, "Paul still hasn't called me and Maria hasn't heard anything from George since she left here and I miss them and I miss her and I want them back." She felt a bit like crying. She'd never been so far away from Maria for so long and she missed her quite a lot. Letters didn't do much when you grew up with someone like Wes had with Maria.
"Ringo called last night," Layla said shrugging, "But he always calls. He misses Lucy." She winked at Weslyn and she laughed.
"Right," She said.
"I can ask him to talk to Paul," She said seriously, "find out what's going on with him."
"Nah," Weslyn sat up and stretched, "It's okay. I'll just give him a good case of the silent treatment when he gets home, see how he likes it." Layla laughed and Weslyn stood up and bent down to touch her toes. Stretching felt so incredibly good sometimes. The doorbell interrupted her stretching.
"Who's that?" Lucy said hopping up from her spot on the floor. Weslyn shrugged and she walked to the front door. She opened it with a bored feeling and when she saw who it was she froze.
"Wes," She said said grinning, "how's it going?"
"Maria!" She yelled her arms throwing themselves around her best mate. Maria laughed and hugged her back, "How are you? What are you doing here?" Weslyn was excited to say the least.
"I got the part I wanted and I'm here for the show!" She said happily, "I am here in London for six weeks!"
"Six weeks!" Weslyn repeated loudly. She pulled Maria inside and Layla and Lucy jumped and greeted her happily.
"Maria!!" Lucy yelled. Maria picked her up and hugged her.
"Oh, Lucy you've grown a foot!" She said grinning at the little girl. "Hey Layla." Layla gave her a sideways hug and she smiled.
"Hey Maria," She said.
"Maria, can you show me how to dance again?" Lucy asked hopefully. Maria laughed and sat on the couch.
"Not right this minute," She said laughing, "Maybe later." Lucy nodded and she cuddled down into Maria. She hugged her and smiled.
"I've missed you Maria." Lucy said closing her eyes.
"Aw, I missed you two Lucy." She gave the top of her head a kiss.
"I'm not the only one who missed you." Lucy sat up and grinned.
"Oh?" She asked raising her eyebrows. Maria glanced at the other two women and she giggled. "Who's that then?"
"George missed you bunches too." She said seriously, "He told me so last night when Daddy called us." Maria's cheeks turned red and she laughed.
"Well then I'll have to talk to George soon won't I?" Maria said thoughtfully. Lucy nodded and she started to play with the ends of Maria's exponentially long hair.
"They aren't home until tomorrow," Weslyn sighed, "Tomorrow morning to be exact."
"Well that's not so bad." Maria said with a yawn, "I could eat a god meal and sleep for four days if I could." Weslyn laughed and Layla stood up.
"Welp, we better go." She said grabbing Lucy's things, "We have a football game in the morning, and then we meet Daddy for lunch." Lucy gasped and ran to her mother quickly. They left and then Weslyn said something about getting something for dinner. Maria didn't really hear all of it. She curled up in her seat and closed her eyes. She was asleep before Weslyn even got out of the room.
