Morning came by faster than expected, well that's cause I was so warm and cozy in his arms it felt illegal to get up and leave his side. He grabbed on to me, holding me for dear life depended on it. It was my first time seeing this version of him, it felt odd yet strangely comforting to be able to see his vulnerable side of him. The closeness was needed after the emotional breakdown that I had and a part of me was scared of looking like a whole mess, I mean I don't usually let myself get that close but with 'HIM' it felt right, like I belong.
"If you keep clinging to me like that I might suffocate here"
He chuckled and gave me butterfly kisses all over my face. This felt right and I didn't want this moment to end anytime soon.
"Not my fault you're so warm", I repositioned myself and snuggled deeper into his arms.
"I'm not going anywhere,silly". He rubbed my back smoothly and kept reassuring me over and over, it went on like this for the entire night of his stay. I know he has to leave very soon but I was in denial about the situation.
"Are you ready to talk now?", he caught me off guard and if I'm being honest I didn't wanna talk about stuff. It's times like these I wished he could read minds but, guess I have to face reality now, even though I hated opening up and being expressive.
"where should I even start?", My eyes started to get watery just by the thoughts that are quickly flooding my mind. I felt like I was being "seen"....
Before he could even answer.
A sudden buzz came from his pocket.
'Who could be calling at this time' , I wondered to myself.
He picked up his phone and stared at the screen.
"This is not to perfect time to be calling", he sighed while slowly shifting his position to sit up straight.
"who's--", before I could even ask he picked up the phone.
"What do want?"
I just looked at him while he sounded annoyed but who could be calling him so early in the morning. He gently moved his body before whispering 'Sorry' and moving to the bathroom and closing the door behind him.
'Who the fuck is Sage??', she paused to collect her thoughts, left all alone in her as the name 'Sage' kept popping in her mind. 'Why would e need to move to a different room to talk to her?'
I didn't even realize how long I have zoned out, staring at the wall and trying to process this entire situation. I sighed and go out of bed and walked to the bathroom to listen to the conversation.
"Caleb? are you okay?", I gently knocked on the door while putting an ear closer to hear him but I couldn't interpret their conversation.
"Just--just give me a second, I'm almost done", he sighed and continued with his hone call as usual.
I decided to move and grabbed my phone from the night-stand and checked my messages. Nothing from Zayne, which is weird because he's always the first one to blow my phone
"Figured he won't say anything", I mumbled to myself and that's when the bathroom door opened and Caleb looked serious, like as if something bad happened. He looked at me before slowly approaching me.
"I need to leave", It came out stoic, cold too.
He headed towards the bedroom door and before I could even think I quickly rushed to block the doorway.
"What? yo- you can't just leave like that, where are you going?, who were you with on the phone?", I rumbled out, I needed to know to put my mind as ease
"Move", It was a command, said straight from his chest. I wasn't going to back down from one word, he owes me answers
"Make me", I crossed my arms and glared at him. I was ready to fight him if possible.
He smirked before picking me up and taking me with him.
"Since you want to play childish games, I may as well come with you", he said while walking towards the exist with me. I kept yelling 'put me down' and making a huge fuss but he would not even listen but instead held on to me tighter.
When he was about to open the door, it swung open and we were both surprised by the unexpected visitor at my door and froze at the door.
"Brooklyn?"
"Caleb?--and Serene?", she sounded puzzled and thought her eyes were deceiving her.
"What is he doing here?", her mood suddenly changed from confused to irritated.
Caleb put me down and moved passed Brooklyn like as if she was invisible, no word, no interaction whatsoever.
He left, just like that and I felt like I did something wrong and my mind just filled with even more questions that needed answers.
"What's his problem?", Brooklyn seemed more annoyed about the situation rather than focusing on me.
I sighed and just looked at her without a word and rolled my eyes.
"You're too focused on him, just leave him be", I was being sarcastic.
Brooklyn glared at me before entering my apartment and throwing herself on my couch like a ragdoll. She made herself comfortable and I followed suit. My stomach growled, signaling that I needed to eat. I was too concerned about Caleb, I forgot about myself and what I needed.
"Let's grab breakfast, there's this new café that opened nearby", Brooklyn grabbed her phone to search for the place.
"Let me change my clothes then we can head and talk", I headed towards my room and changed into cozy tracksuits and Uggs.
"Perfect, then you can explain to me what the hell happened between you and Zayne", Brooklyn replied.
Fuck. Now I have to explain something that got me here in the first place...and....wait a damn minute, how the hell does she know. Zayne doesn't have her number and so does she.
I tilted my head slightly and squinted my eyes, "How the hell do you know?"
