Wes

The following days were extremely productive for Wes. He was in love, and he felt inspired and full of energy because of it.

It was finally Friday, and the past five days had seemed more like a month. He had rearranged his flat, held three emergency band practices, and had written fourteen new songs. Yes, fourteen—good ones, too. Hits. The emergency band practices were a result of the new songs, actually. He wanted to play a few of them at the show at The Rooftop, so he talked his band into adding some extra practice time to their week.

Wes had been in touch with Jo all week, but only with brief texts. They hadn't seen each other at all, and to him, it felt like torture. He hadn't even noticed how much time he had been spending with her until he wasn't doing it anymore. He felt as though he was going through withdrawals.

It was now Friday afternoon, and it was just a matter of hours before he saw her. He sent her a text.

Wes: "What's up?"

Jolene: "Working. What about you?"

Wes: "Just bought plane tickets for my trip."

Jolene: "That's awesome. Did you tell your mom?"

Wes: "I'm about to call her. I thought about telling her not to tell Owen and the others, but I figure he's got enough going on with the babies coming."

Jolene: "They're gonna be stoked whether it's a surprise or not."

Wes: "I saw your new video. Getting fancy with the underhand throw, huh? Like a boss."

Jolene: "You like that?"

Wes: "Super hot. You look like a Bond girl."

Jolene: "Haha."

Wes: "Today's Friday."

This text made Jolene smile and bite her lip. She couldn’t wait to see Wes. She had been counting the minutes.

Jolene: "Yep, it is."

She had been so composed about it all week, which made Wes even more anxious to see her.

Wes: "You're coming to my show."

Jolene: "I know. Luke and Chasidy are coming, too. And Katie and Micah. They all love the venue and invited themselves when I told them about it."

Wes: "As long as you don't have plans with them afterward."

Jolene: "I doubt it since it's gonna be late."

Wes: "Good. I'll give you a ride home."

Jolene: "Sounds good. I'll ride up there with Luke."

Wes: "See you then."

Jolene: "Okay." She added a simple red heart emoji that made Wes smile.

He paced around his living room for a few seconds before deciding to call his mom.

Rose Bishop almost always answered her cell phone. She did it for nearly everyone who called, but especially her children. She had slept in, so her voice was still groggy when Wes called.

"Hello?" she said, doing her best to make it seem like she was awake and alert.

"Are you sleeping?" Wes asked.

"No, I was just laying here. What's going on, baby?"

"What time is it over there?"

"Almost eight," she said, glancing at the clock by her bedside.

"I'm sorry. I thought it was nine," he said.

"It's fine," she said. "I was up. Is everything all right?"

"Yes ma'am. I just planned a trip home. I wanted to give you the dates so you could mark the calendar.
