Flutter

Chapter 5

Beeze's POV

Loose....what in the world is loose..

Slamming my wardrobe door shut I plop on my bed.

You may be wondering, where does she get he clothes?

Thankfully my mom cares enough to send me stuff every week and my aunt doesn't care so she just drops it in my room.

I reopen my closet and grab a loose romper. It was colourful with white frills at the end.

I stared at myself in the mirror. Out of curiosity I turned to stare at my butt.

My eyes widen and I gasp.

"That's my butt?!"

-----------------

"Remind me why you decided to wear this sleeveless outfit during the night in New York?" Wes jokes eyeing my outfit as we sit in his car.

"Hey, you said dress loose I didn't exactly know what to wear."

"You still look beautiful though." I grin at him and he winks.

Second date and I'm already smitten.

"So where are we off to?"

"A place with lots of AC."

"Aww.." I sag, honestly disappointed in my appearance. I left my hair down, at least my back won't be cold.

"Don't worry I brought an extra jacket, just for you."

"You did?" I ask hopefully.

"Nope but I'm a man you can have mine." I slap his and and he chuckles. "Did you try out your phone?"

"Not yet."

"Can you turn it on by tonight?"

"Sure."

We arrive at our destination and I read the sign.

'Roman Corps.'

"This.....Is your company?"

It was bloody huge. And blue.

"Yup."

"Its...incredible."

"Wait till you see inside." He smiles sounding proud and I decide to walk ahead of him.

He catches up and leans over to whisper something.

"I see your butt looks good as usual." I gasp and he chuckles running inside.

"Wes Roman get your backside back here!" I yell chasing him.

--------

"You started all this on your own?" I asks and he nods. "Amazing."

I gaze around the sixteenth floor and we enter the elevator to get to his office on the top floor.

There were three offices at the top.

Assistant.

Manager.

And one that read Roman & Roman.

"Roman and Roman?"

"Thomas is usually here with me, so when I had the sign made he demanded that there be an extra Roman."

"That's my boy." I state and Wes rolls his eyes.

We step into his office and its the same as every other area in this building but better.

"You did a great job." I tell him staring at the busy streets of New York. Did I mention that's his walls were made out of glass and see-through?

"Thanks." He smiles.

"Where are your parents?"

"Retired. They don't live too far from here."

"They must be proud."

"They are." He says looking at me and for a moment our eyes lock."Beeze?"

"Yea?"

"Can I kiss you?"

My breath hitches and I avert my eyes nodding.

He walks towards me and cups my cheeks before placing a warm gentle kiss...

On.

My.

Forehead.

"What was that?"

"A kiss. Duh."

"Thanks buzz kill, greatest kiss ever." I say bitterly and he chuckles.

"Patience Beeze Patience."

"Shut up buzz kill!" I yell walking out.

This place was huge and I can't imagine how long it took to build.

The atmosphere was crisp and all the walls were made out of glass.

I loved it. I skipped along the lanes, peeking here and there and then....

"How about we take Thomas with us on tomorrow?"

I spin around to find Wes, arms folded leaning on the wall.

"Of course. More time with my little one." I smile and he returns it."

He walks up to me and once again we both stare at New York in action.

"It's beautiful isn't it?" I wonder just staring outside and he nods, but he wasn't staring at the view.

"It sure is."

--------

Back home I undress and hop into bed. I grab the phone and everything was already installed.

Searching contacts I find one.

"Daddy"

What in the bloody world.

I press call and of course on the second ring, Wes's voice fills my ears.

"Did you make a mistake with the name you put for yourself?" I ask him, raising an eyebrow even though he can't see me.

"Nope." He says and I can sense his grin.

"I'm changing it." I tell him.

"Aww. But I like it."

"But I don't."

"You're no fun." He mutters and I know he was pouting.

"So where are we taking Thomas tomorrow?"

"I decided we should go to the park. There's a playground and everything."

"Okay..." I yawn. "Sounds good."

"You're tired. Go to bed."

"Mhm, I'm going to."

"Sleep tight beautiful."

"You too handsome." I reply boldly and I can practically feel his grin.

He hangs up and I lay awake, just saying a short prayer, for the happiness that seemed to be floating my way.

Wes's POV

"We're going out with Beeze tonight." I smile at Thomas as a spins so fast from playing with his toys.

"What?! Forweal?!"

"Yup." I reply popping the p and he runs to his room.

What just happened?

He returns with a cute peach teddy bear.

"Thwis is for her." He states placing it on the couch."I'm gonna awsk her to be my giwrlfriend."

I raise both eyebrows at the little guy and placed him on my knee.

"But I wanted to ask her to be my girlfriend." I pouted and he gasped.

"So that means I'll have a mommy?"

I gulp hard, trying to control myself as memories flash through my head.

"Yes, but don't call her that yet okay? We don't want to scare her away."

"Okay, I'm just happy that I'll have a mommy now." He sighs happily leaning back on my chest and I place my chin on his head.

"Ouch daddy your chin is hurting my head!"

"Sorry sorry, my bad." I remove my chin immediately and he settles himself once more, falling asleep.

--------------

Beeze's POV

So... I'm waiting tables again.

Sighing, I walk extra slow avoiding chairs and deliver all the orders safely. Thomas and Wes visited me today, I even got a pretty pink teddy bear.

Or was it peach?

Shaking my head, I remain focused waiting the last table for the day, but of course the food ends up spiraling down onto the floor.

I knew what was coming.

"Beeze! To my office!" My aunt calls and I groan.

"I'm terribly sorry, someone will be with you soon."

I walk to her office and she sat on her desk. Staring at me.

"Do you think I'm a fool?" She asks and I raise my eyebrow.

"No..."

"Where were you last night?"

My heart starts beating fast and I avoid averting my eyes.

"In my room.." I lie in a 'duh' motion.

Her heavy hand comes colliding with my cheek and I yelp in pain.

"Don't lie to me." She warns and I stare at her straight in the eye.

"I was in the shop, I decided to stay there so I could get something extra to eat."

One.

Two.

Three.

"I knew it!" She yells.

Imbecile.

---------------

I have to be careful. I don't know if I can do this anymore.

I sigh and pick out a loose summer dress with a white jeans jacket.

I put my hair up into a... "Bun' and paired my outfit with my white vans.

I love that shoe.

I wait for his call, and as usual I just close my eyes and jump.

"Hello there beautiful." He grins and I smile back.

We walk to the car and Thomas sat innocently in his car seat.

Until he saw me.

"Beeze!" He yells trying to reach out and I grin.

"Little one."

"Up! Up!" He screams and I turn to Wes who shrugs.

I unpin his car seat and pull him onto my lap.

"You look pretty." He tells me and I kiss his chubby cheeks.

"Thank you." He buries his face in my neck and I pat his back.

"Wes keep your eyes on the road." I tell him amused and he blushes.

"Is the old man blushing?" I tease and he rolls his eyes.

"Shut up Rapunzel."

------------

I stood behind Thomas as he sat in the baby swings pushing him here and there.

"Up please." I lift him and place him down and he took off for the slides.

"Wanna take a walk?" Wes asks.

"And leave him unattended?"

"Right." He realizes face palming and I laugh.

"Let's just sit there, that way we can watch him." I point to the park bench and he nods.

We both sit and I take in the beauty.

"I wish I could see here in the day time." I murmur, laughing softly.

"Then do it."

"I have work." I shrug.

"But you don't get paid....."

"Wes, you don't understand... My aunt, she provides me with everything. If she even finds out I'm not I'm my room right now.... Its over for me."

"But you have me." He says and I shake my head.

"I don't want to depend on you Wes."

"I would just be helping you, I have an apartment complex not too far from my company you could stay there."

"Wes... I can't."

"At least think about it..."

I sigh but nod.

"I'm always here for you, you know that right?" He says pulling me close to him and I smile. "I promise. And on that note."

He stands and I look at him in confusion. He has a small box in his hand and he got down on one knee.

"Bloody no..." I gape and he grins.

"Miss Aurora Simmons... Would you give me the honor and be my girlfriend?"

"But its only the third date?" I grin.

"Why waste time? I need you, you don't need me, its the perfect match." He jokes and I giggle.

"Ye-"

"Did she say yes daddy? Did she? Did she?" Thomas comes running.

"I don't know yet buddy."

"Oh.." He murmurs. "Say yes so you can be my mommy."

I stare at Thomas and Wes takes in a sharp breathe.

A soft smile graces my lips and I nod.

"Of course, yes!"

Everyone claps and I realize we had drawn a crowd.

As soon as Wes got up though...

"Mr roman! Is that you new fiance?"

"How long have you been dating!"

"Mr roman!"

"Beeze quick into my jacket, we can't let them see your face!"

I understood why.

I would be all over the news and magazines then my aunt would find out and I'd be dead.

Great.

Thomas seemed used to it as he maneuvered between the men and ran for the car.

We, however were trapped.

"Crap! Crap! Crap!" Wes shouted.

I guess he found another way because soon we were both at the car.

"That was close." He mutters.

"You can say that again."

He drives me home and we both stand awkwardly below my window.

"So... You're my girlfriend."

"And you're my boyfriend." I say chuckling and I bite my lip averting my eyes.

"Oh screw this." He murmurs before crashing his lips to mine. We move in sync and he pushes me against the house wall. Caught in the moment he grabs the back of my thighs and lifts me up.

He groans as I flick my tongue but I bite his lips as an end.

Breathless and blushing I avert my eyes.

"Ehem, Thomas is waiting." He smiles warmly and I return the smile.

"Right. I'll see you tomorrow." He says still not moving, just looking at me and I nod.

"Bye.." I tell him.

"Bye.." He replies. Still. Not. Moving.

"Wes." I deadpan.

"Okay okay fine." He pecks my lips once more before heisting me up onto the window edge I do the rest and wave at him.

"Sleep tight baby!" He whisper yells and I grin.

"You too!"

This man.

Just stole my heart.
