  &quot;Oh!&quot; My mother beamed a bright smile as she walked up to me while dragging Wes along with her. She practically pushed him into me before turning to some guests who I was making small talk with.
      &quot;Mary, Dean,&quot; she smiled at the married couple. &quot;I don't supposed you've met my daughters boyfriend. This is Wes.&quot;
      Wes swung an arm around my waist, pulling me into his side. The move made my whole body tense.
      Wes smiled and shook their hands but all I could do was drown out their conversation because the only thing I could focus on was Wes's hand resting on my hip. His arm around me, the feeling of him holding me close to his side.
      This was all too much. Too confusing.
      Why was I feeling so spun and flustered by all this? It was like I was so stunned and in-love with the little gestures he made but I shouldn't be because it was all for

  As soon as Wes had pulled me away from the foyer where we had just danced and kissed, he brought me off to the side where we could get away from the crowd.
      Just as he had turned to look at me, Sage broke in and pulled me away.
      &quot;Wha-&quot;
      Sage didn't wait as she pulled me with her into the dining room. &quot;Please don't make your mother introduce me to any more people on my own. You know how Ms.Gilbert never stops talking.&quot;
      I didn't have the chance to say anything to Sage. Not only because I was still in complete shock from what just happened between Wes and I, but also because the next thing I knew was that Sage and I were standing in front of Mrs.Gilbert.
      She was a short and very old lady who was in love with all things cats. Once she started talking, she never stopped.
      Mrs.Gilbert pulled me down to her height to hug me and as soon as sh

  My parents were hosting a party at our house for my sister and Adam. It was sort of like a pre-wedding congratulatory party.
      It made no sense to me because a wedding was a big enough celebration. There was no point in hosting a pre-wedding party.
      My mind was spinning with a bunch of question marks.
      I was standing in front of my full length floor mirror, brushing down the dress I was wearing when a knock on the door interrupted.
      A moment later Wes peaked his head in before coming into my room, closing the door behind him.
      He blew out a deep breath, quirking an eyebrow as he walked up behind me.
      I looked at him through the mirror, smiling softly. I was wearing a red silk dress with a deep v-neck and spaghetti straps, the dress falling to my mid thighs. &quot;I see you're wearing a matching tie.&quot;
      Wes smiled, standing directly behind him and l
