Him

Chapter 12

Cheryl’s POV

We are driving back home from the beach in Skyla’s car and we are all worn out from all the running around the shore. I am at the backseat and the twins have fallen asleep on my laps.

These two are so adorable and their sisterhood reminds me of mine and Vanessa's. And looking at how these two are, Tamara would definitely be the "Vanessa". They are so peaceful when they are asleep, I bet Wesley loves them better when they are this way. I remember earlier today when I was standing outside their front door about to ring the doorbell, I heard him scolding them. I felt like bursting out in laughter.

I can't believe that he still remembered that silly nickname he gave me on our beach date. He just has this charisma which makes it so hard for me to forget about him even if I wanted to. I feel as if there is more to this guy than what is on the surface and as investigative as I am, I would like to dig deeper.

But yet again he can be so obnoxious at the same time! It's been a week since he knew me but it seems as though he already knows how to press on all the wrong buttons and it's really frustrating! Similar to that feeling when your toes are frozen-cold on a winters morning and someone steps on the last tiny one. Do you know how that feels? That's how Wes can make you feel from time to time.

'Uhm Sky, please drop me off at Keith's place. There is something I would like to discuss with him. School related. He is very good at world history and I think he can assist me with some of the questions to that annoying assignment' Rosetta says.

'No problem' Sky replies.

A few minutes later we stop in front of Keith's house and it's also a double story. Not as fancy as the Stone's of course but it looks really elegant and relevantly luxurious. And it's painted in one of my favorite colors, charcoal. It seems as if they befriended each other from their riches.

Rose says her goodbyes and I hop in the front seat where she was seated. We wave goodbye and drive off.

'Wow the kids are really tired hey' Sky says. She looks so fabulous when driving.

'You think' I say and we chuckle.

'Hey Sky, when Rose was complaining about Wes, you rolled your eyes. Why did you do that?' I finally ask. I wanted to know what was that about.

'Of course you noticed. Alright let me just be straight forward. Rose deserves better than what Wesley offers. Wesley doesn't deserve her or her love. Matter of fact he doesn't deserve to be loved up until he learns to act more like like human than an animal towards people. He can be so selfish sometimes and trust me the award for the most annoying person on earth goes to him' she says and waves her hand dramatically in the air.

'I can second you on the last part. But everyone deserves a chance at love. Maybe something holds him back and he just needs to be taught how to love himself first' she looks at me analytically.

'You seem really interested in Wesley and Rosetta' s relationship' Sky says and looks at me suspiciously.

'What? No! You are talking nonsense now and whatever you are thinking is foolish' I say and look out the window to avoid her stare and she just laughs. I wonder what is on her mind. Maybe I am being too transparent. I should back up a little. Besides, I am not about to break a one and a half year relationship. We arrive at my home and I get off the car.
