An hour later I was at home getting ready for the Hockey game. I left my outfit the same but just touched up my hair and makeup. I was done getting ready in minutes. I pulled out my phone to see Wes texted me,
'Just driving down the road to your house I will be there in a minute.'
I grabbed my baggy LA Kings navy hoodie and headed downstairs with a small white coin purse.
I realized I forgot my lucky LA Kings snapback in my room. I rushed up to grab it when I heard the doorbell ring, oh lord my dad was home. I tried to hurry but it was too late... My dad answered the door to see Wes with a foam finger.
"Oh hi sir I'm Wesley Stromberg, is Ashley home?" he asked extending his hand.
"So you're that boy she keeps talking about, nice to meet you" my dad said eyeing Wes's nervous face.
"The pleasure is all mine" Wes said looking my dad straight in the eye.
My dad was impressed I could tell... when my mom and dad were together I had Ben come over and he slammed the door right in his face. That was when Ben was in his 'trouble' phase. I shook my head and walked over to Wes smiling.
"You got the tickets?" Wes asked.
"Yeah I have them right here lets go" I said grabbing the foam finger from Wes.
"When will you be back?" my dad muttered before I got out of the door. Wes faced my dad and spoke confidently,
"As soon as the game ends I will bring her home, I keep my promise sir. Please sir I would hope you trust me, I do not want people to think I am un-trust worthy."
"I admire your honesty Wesley, now you two. Go have fun, not too much fun or else. I'm going to tell you since Ashley never will tell anyone, I'm a hunter, no stranger to a gun."
Wes bit his lip as I piped up,
"Bye dad, I love you but stop freaking out my friends!"
I grabbed Wes's wrist and pulled him out of the house and to his car.
"You excited for the game?" I smiled as we took off towards the arena.
"Yeah, I don't really go to hockey games but I'm glad I'm with you" Wes smiled.
"Thanks, but turn here we can just walk the few blocks instead of paying $15 for parking up close."
Wes turned onto a residential street and we parked. The sun was setting as we started walking towards the arena. Wes grabbed my shoulder and pulled me in close. He was so sly, ugh why was I head over heels for this cheesy fool. Wes was that guy that no one could resist, the kind of guy I tried to stay away from. Still Wes's personality was the thing that broke me, the thing that made me feel like I could trust him. We got in and took our seats at center ice, and grabbed some snacks. The game started and we were full into the action as it played for the first half. It was half time and Wes took off to the bathroom as little halftime games started off. The 50/50 draw was announced and I sat by myself in the seat waiting for Wes to come back; only 5 more minutes until the game started again. Wes walked down the stairs back to our seat covered by his hoodie just encase any emblems came to the game.
"Hey Ash I'm back, you miss me?" he winked taking a seat.
"Sure..." I rolled my eyes as he put his hood back down.
"Attention Kings fans! Get ready for the kiss cam, presented by Kissin' FM radio!"
"Ha let's see the suckers who end up kissing! It's so funny when they are not together! One time this guy leaned in to a girl he knew and she slapped him right across the face then he turned to some girl and kissed her and made the other girl so jealous!" I laughed.
"Ha-ha really, that happened?" Wes smiled.
"Yeah now shh it's starting!"
The camera went over an old couple, it was so cute! Then over a few other people until the final one which shocked the socks off my feet.
"Hold up, hold up! Is that who I think it is? Mr. Wesley Stromberg from emblem3 ex- X-Factor competitor! The singer from the new Simon Cowell band! Who is that lady beside him? Any Emblems here know who she is?! They see to be on a date so... pucker up!" The host cheered as the camera swung to face us. The blood drained from my cheeks as Wes turned to face me,
"Are you okay, you're really pale?"
"Yeah, I-I'm fine just a little freaked out right now..."I muttered.
"Come on you sly dog! Kiss that cutie!" the host shouted again.
"Just count to 5 and it will all over okay?" Wes whispered in my ear. I nodded and faced him.
"KISS!" the people yelled.
Wes leaned in and kissed me deeply, my arms and legs went numb and my brain went all fuzzed. I had completely forgotten to count, I just kissed him back.
We pulled away and everyone cheered.
"I think we should go to security, before we get attacked my fans" Wes muttered.
"Yeah good idea..." we got up and hurried to security. Wes grabbed my hand and pulled me as we ran to security. Tons of girls started chasing us and instead of security we ran out of the building and to the car before we were spotted. I'm just really happy we are both runners, if we were not we would have been crowded. We jumped into the car and sped off towards my house, just as the girls came.
Wes pulled into the drive way and dropped me off at my door.
"So uh... Good night?" he muttered grabbing the back of his neck.
"Wow you are nervous" I smiled.
"Yeah well you became Casper the ghost at the arena; it's my turn to be nervous!"
"Why are you nervous?"
"Well I don't know where we stand, I don't know if I should give you a high five, a hug, or Uhhh...a kiss?"
I kissed Wes on the cheek and wrapped my arms around his neck.
"Good night Wes, see you later" I smiled opening the door.
I left Wes with a giddy half smile; I closed the door and peeked out the window to see Wes fist pump the air. I laughed and walked up to my room to get ready for bed. I got changed and laid in bed with my phone; I had gotten a text from Wes.
'Hey Ash, I'm having a party on Friday You have to come, I have something for you!'
'Sure sounds like fun, is there any theme?'
'Nope come casual, well good night!'
'Good night Wes' I smiled as I tucked my phone away.
The next morning I woke up and headed downstairs,
"Good morning dad!" I sighed walking into the living room. I looked around to see my dad was gone.
"Ugh stupid work, he left at 9pm last night then to leave at 6am!" I shouted annoyed. I grabbed a glass of water and sat down on the couch to watch my favorite celebrity gossip show 'Hollywood Whisper.'
"Ouch sorry Cody Simpson looks like your song dropped to 5th this week. Next up is for you Emblems we have the latest news from the boys of Emblem3! Keaton spotted in Venice with BFF Tyler Case; Drew joins a surfing contest so guess what place he got?" I took a sip of my water, "Though the biggest news of all who is this mystery girl Wes was kissing last night at the Kings game? We have the biggest gossip here so stay tuned!"
I did a spit take and gasped, while choking on the water.
"WHAT!?" I yelled whipping the water from my chin. I grabbed my phone and called Wes,
"Ash this is not a good time, let me call you back in 10 minutes I'm just about to go in the shower, sorry I have to go!"
He hung up not letting me speak, so I kept watching.
"So Drew Chadwick place first in the 'Summer Surfer' contest, Good job Drew we are so proud of you! Now here is the biggest news of the new mystery girl Wes as kissing! Reports say it's a friend of the guys who seems really close to Wes, she is so pretty and every girl should be jealous! Like come on, she's got Wes attention, what about us?!

Do you ship them? Comment on our website and see the pictures of the new couple last night here at 'HollywoodWhisper.com' I'm your host Casey House and this has been Hollywood whisper!"
I grabbed my phone and called Wes again,
"Wes don't you dare hang up on me!?"
"Don't worry I'm good now, what did you want to talk to me about?" he laughed.
"Check the internet for Wesley Stromberg LA Kings game..."
A minute later Wes muttered,
"Oh my God..."
"I know" I gulped.
