“Are you crying right now?”

Wes turns to me, crumbs of popcorn falling down his chin. His face is completely red after rolling around for the last god knows how long as he pauses the credits to the fifth movie we’ve watched. I put one on as a treat since I managed to get through some more questions that Cat sent for me and I am strangely obsessed.

Since Wes’s advice with Cat last time somehow managed to work, I’ve decided to give him another chance. Which means sitting through a bunch of rom-coms back to back with a selection of candy, a blanket and popcorn spread around us. By the time the second movie finished, I couldn’t help it anymore and I told him everything from the night in the Manifestation Chamber to the day in the gym. As much as he’s a pain in my ass, he’s my best friend and if I kept our secret any longer, I think I would burst into flames.

I swipe my face with the back of my sweater. “We just watched one of the greatest movies to ever exist. Why aren’t you crying?”

Wes glances over at me, grinning ear to ear. “You’re a big baby, Connie boy. All this for Catherine Fables,” he says, gesturing to the mess we’ve made. He shakes his head with a disbelieving chuckle. “She’s one lucky girl.”

“I think I’d do anything for her,” I murmur, resting my head back against the couch. I don’t think I fully register the weight of my words until they’re out of my mouth. All I know is that it’s true. So true that it scares me a little how one person can take up every thought in my brain, make every song somehow feel like her and have my days jumbled because I feel like I exist solely for the purpose of waiting for her.

“Yeah?” Wes asks, pushing himself up against the couch next to me.

“I’d give her anything she wants. Every part of me. If she asked me to move the fucking world, I’d do it,” I say, my chest aching just at the thought.

“Are you drunk?” I try to search for the joke in his question, but he sounds so serious. Too serious.

I shake my head. “Of course I’m not.”

“You’re that whipped, huh?”

“I’m fucking obsessed, Wes. Something’s wrong with me, I swear,” I admit, rubbing my hands across my face. If watching rom-coms back to back all day with your best friend just to impress a girl doesn’t show how down I am for her, I don’t know what will.

They say that when you know, you know. I think I’ve always known how much I cared for Catherine from the second I laid my eyes on her. There’s never been anyone else for me. Even if it took her fucking years to notice me too, it’s all worth it. If I just get to hold her, to listen to her, to talk to her even for a minute, I’ll be the happiest man on the planet.
