Cecelia was relieved.
“That’ll do just fine. Remember, be gentle and thoughtful around girls. You need to take care of them and love them.
Or you might end up being single your whole life.”
“No problem, Mom. That is exactly what I want. Bye!” Tired of Cecelia’s nagging, Wesley hung up the phone.
He and Blair stared at each other. Suddenly, it dawned on her what he had meant by “carry.” ‘Aww hell no!’ She couldn’t help shuddering.

Wesley sneered in response. He wasn’t afraid of his mom. What could she do once the deed was done?

This wasn’t what she had been expecting. It was weird, awkward, and uncomfortable! When she had gotten drunk last time, he had carried her in his arms, not like this.

Deciding that she would give him a break, Blair had even suggested that she could climb the last four sets of stairs when they reached the nineteenth floor, but Wesley had objected.
“I said that I would carry you upstairs, and carry you upstairs I will,” was his response.
Finally, when they were back in their apartment, Blair all but ran into the kitchen, grabbed a bottle of mineral water from the shelf and handed it to Wesley.
“Here, drink swater. Do you want it to be boiled?” As far as she recalled, he never had mineral water boiled. By habit, he merely unscrewed the lid and gulped it down.
Wesley looked at the bottle in her hand and took it with a slight smile, his first one in a long while.
