Mirrors - Wes Stromberg Story [HTB Sequel]

Chapters 23: Talks/Popping The Question.

"Hey." she said aloud more towards Melanie then me. I told her I didn't hate her but I still felt uneasy around her. Luckily the guy told us our orders were ready and I went up to get them. While I was standing there I listened to their conversation.

"Oh hi Carly."

"Hey. It looks like your about to pop!"

"Yea. I have a couple more weeks to go then the baby will be here."

"Are you excited?"

"Yea. I'm actually beyond excited."

"What are you having?"

"A boy."

"Awe. Did you pick a name yet?"

"Yea. Robert Michael."

"That's so cute."

"Thank you. Wesley picked it out."

"Oh really? He did a good job." she said as I walked back over and sat down.

"Ehh, he's alright." Melanie laughed.

"Laraine told me you were having a baby. I dropped some presents off at her house so whenever you get ready and want it, it'll be there."

"Thank you Carly. That was really sweet of you."

"No problem. If you ever need anything just let me know."

"I will."

"Alright. I have dance class so I'll see you guys around." she said looking at Melanie then staring at me before walking out the door.

"You could of said hi Wesley."

"I know."

"You can't just hold a grudge. Or whatever it is that your doing." Melanie told me as she took a sip of her drink.

"It's not a grudge."

"So what is it?"

"I dont know."

"Alright. Fine. Whenever you find out what it is, just let me know." I looked at her and bit into my cinnamon bun.

Mel and I got home about an hour ago and she was already in bed because she was tired. I decided to go over to see my mom. I told Melanie then left out the house. I pulled up to my moms about 20 minutes later and knocked on the door. She opened on the 4th knock.

"Wesley. Hey baby, come in." she instructed and I did. "How are you? What's wrong you don't look too well."

"I'm fine ma. Just tired, you know with the anticipation of the baby and all." I sighed.

"Are you nervous or are you rethinking everything?" she questioned and I shot up to look at her.

"Rethinking?"

"Yes, rethinking. Rethinking your life. The fact that you have a baby on the way and your only about to be 21."

"No mom. I love Melanie, and the baby. If I was rethinking I wouldn't have came this far." I told her and she looked relieved by mom explanation

"Good. I don't want you to just leave her especially since she's due soon."

"I could never. But mom?"

"Yea?"

"Do you think I'm a bad person? Like, the fact that I don't talk to Carly anymore? Melanie thinks I'm holding a grudge or whatever."

"Are you?"

"No. I mean yea - no. I don't know."

"You know what I think?"

"What?"

"I think you still have love for Carly and the thought of what she did to you still bothers you. Your not holding a grudge or hate her but you miss the friendship you two used to have."

Melanie's POV

I sat there in bed staring at the ceiling. Wesley went over to Laraine's and I was bored. I couldn't sleep at all and there wasn't a thing on t.v to watch. I rolled over to get up and go pack my emergency bag for the hospital. I got my adida's duffle bag and put in 5 pairs of black yoga pants, and different v-necks, underclothes, 2 pairs of sneakers, my toothbrush and socks. Once I finished I sat the bag next to the door and went to go sit back on the bed.

It was almost 10 and I looked around. I grabbed my laptop and decided to order some stuff offline. Hmm, what should I get? What should I get? I sat there and decided to order the baby and Wes some stuff. I didn't want to order any clothes for me especially if once I have the baby, I still have baby fat and all that. Plus I didn't wear makeup as much as I used too. So me getting anything would be pointless. I put in my card number and ordered everything before I heard the front door open and close. Wes must be back. He walked into the room and looked up at me.

"Hey babe. I thought you were going to sleep."

"I thought I was. But then I was laying there and got bored. How's your mom?"

"She's good. We had our mother son talk ya know."

"That's good."

"Have you talked to your dad?"

"Yea, he's supposed to fly out here a week or two before I can go into labor."

"Alright. So what do you want to do since your bored."

"I'm actually pretty tired now that your back."

"I think you just don't like me." he laughed

"I don't. I love you." I kissed the top of his nose before he turned out the room lights. We both layed down and Wesley wrapped his hands over me as I snuggled tightly against him. I closed my eyes and I felt him moving hair off my neck so he could kiss it.

"Melanie?" he whispered.

"Wesley?"

"Will you marry me? Like forreal this time." he laughed and I sat up switching on the lamp and looking at him. He sat up then placed a ring in front of me. I stood there in shock and looked at him before grinning like an idiot. "Is that a yes?" he chuckled.

"Yes idiot! I will marry you...forreal this time." I laughed before he placed the ring on my finger and hugged me.
