you. I miss you! I fucking miss us! I know that makes me sound like a dick, but we can’t get carried away until you remember-” He get’s cut off by a phone ringing. Parker must have heard it too as I hear him coming. I jump away from Wesson pissed. It was just a kiss; we weren’t getting carried away… yet.
I watch as he opens the phone and sees who is calling. He looks at me and I see a flash of guilt. He answers it slowly putting it to his ear.
“Hey Nes.”
Vanessa again, is that why he looked guilty? I mean. He just basically poured his heart and soul out to me. I thought he would be ecstatic to have me show some response back to his feelings. Parker finally makes it into the living room and looks between us. Wesson is still staring at me. I look away first.
“Sleep good Park?” I go for casual, like this a totally normal situation.
“Yeah right, Lil.” He doesn’t even smile, just concentrates on the conversation between Wesson and Nes.

WESSON
I am a fucking bastard. That is just replaying in my head. One step forward and I don’t know, a fucking million steps back. What was I thinking? I don’t want to take this call, I think about not answering but know it is important and Vanessa will more than likely just call again thinking we are asleep. I wish that we had just been asleep. Then I wouldn’t be chewing my foot as it is planted firmly in my mouth.
I answer; she starts to ramble as only Vanessa can.
“Hey. Who is this? Is the Wesson or Parker? Not that it matters, I don’t think it matter’s which one I talk to. How are you guys doing? I can’t believe it’s so late, that meeting went on longer than I would have expected but we may have gotten some good stuff. They think they know where Lucas is headed. If that’s true, he actually won’t be too far from you. Is Lil there? Can we talk freely? I never know what I can say out loud-” I smile a little on the inside. She is a mess; she’s awesome but man she rambles. I am guessing Brax is taking over now which means speaker phone is out of the question. I can see Parker staring daggers at me from my peripherals. I shake my head slightly into Lillian’s direction. He nod’s slightly. It’s crazy how in sync we are after just a short amount of time. Well I guess not because the same could be said for me and Lil, I look at her and she is clearly pissed. She looks between me and Park and fuck me if she didn’t see our little exchange. Shit, this is going to suck trying to explain without being able to actually explain.
“Hey who is this?” Brax asks.
“Wesson. So… what’s the scoop, in a normal speed, without any rabbit trails?”
He laughs, he must get annoyed with her as she is crazy intense when he is around.
“Right? Man she is intense. In a good way of course.” She must be listening. I laugh. “Okay, cliff notes version. We found out that Mia is still alive; they have actually been spotted at a gas station right outside of town again. Chief thinks Lucas may have snapped as he is coming toward the fight instead of running and hiding. However, he may think that he has a pawn he can play, we all know the bureau doesn’t think so, or maybe he assumes he has moved on.”
“Fucking pricks, that’s my sister! She isn’t a pawn but she is a human fucking being. She is an innocent!”
“Shit Wes, don’t kill the messenger. I know that, hence this whole mess we are in. Look, I agree with you but the system is a good one. Maybe it’s all a misunderstanding.”
I am pacing now; I can’t stop wringing my hand through my hair. I glance at Lil and her eyes are wide with concerned. At least she doesn’t look pissed anymore, but just seeing her face makes me relax a little and I put my hand down. Parker is standing closer to me. He looks like he is about to punch something. Yeah, something is going on there, not something I can break down right now. I have calmed a
