“Nick why do you think?”
“Jo after what he did.” Nick was not looking happy.
“He actually didn’t do anything Nick. It was all a PR stunt.”
“Yeah, sure.”
“Nick!”
“I’m sorry Jo. He hurt you, badly.”
“I was hurt, you’re right but we’ve talked, a lot, since then and we’re good.” She got a silly smile on her face thinking about sitting on Wes’ lap during breakfast.
“You’ve really fallen for him, haven’t you?”
“I like him a lot.”
“Well I don’t like him.”
“Yeah I’m getting that.”
Nick rested on the doorframe; his laptop case was still hanging over his shoulder. “So how about dinner tonight?’ He said hoping to swing the terse conversation back to something neutral.
“I can’t tonight.”
“Wes?”
“Wes.”
“Sunday night then.”
“What’s wrong with Saturday night?’ She joked trying to look offended.
Nick laughed and Jo relaxed that they were back to being friendly. She knew he always had a date on Saturday nights.
“Okay, studley, Sunday night.” She laughed.
After Nick left Jo saw that it was past 7:00pm. She realized she’d fallen asleep for five hours. She grabbed her phone which she had turned off and watched it ping out of control as messages and missed call alerts pelted her screen. They were all from Wes.
“Shit!”
She quickly hit his name under her favorites as heavy knocks sounded from her door again. She thought Nick had returned and as she yelled, "Nick the doors open." she hoped that Wes would pick up his phone. Jo heard a song playing from outside she quickly turned back to the door, Wes stood in her doorway and now he didn’t look happy. She humphed, she was batting 1000 when it came to pleasing men today.
She put the phone down and walked to Wes. “I was just calling you.”
She could see that he was deciding how to handle himself so she decided to make it easy for him. She launched herself into his arms and pressed her mouth against his slipping her tongue between his lips.
Wes remained still for all of two seconds before he hoisted her up by her bottom. She hugged his hips with her legs and Wes walked them into her house. He dropped her ass on the counter but continued to kiss her.
When he pulled away Jo saw that predatory gleam in his eyes and knew she was forgiven.
“I’m so sorry Wes I fell asleep.”
"You thought Nick was at the door?"
"Yes he stopped by."
“I couldn’t reach you.” He said laying his forehead on hers. “I got hungry.”
