Forever & Always

17: Water Fights & Unexpected Guests

The bell went signalling the end of the first week back at school. I could not be happier.

I stood beside Caleb's car, waiting for him to get out of school so that he could give me a lift home again.

A few days ago Katie and I went with Tori, Julie, Sarah, and Katie's mum to go to shopping for or prom dresses. We both ended up picking two gorgeous dresses that looked completely extraordinary. Mine was a midnight blue ballgown whilst Katie's was a red lace dress with a detachable skirt. Going shopping with some of the most important women in my life made the occasion even more special. It would have been great if Mum was there but honestly, our relationship is rocky at the moment.

After a few minutes, Caleb arrived at the car apologising for being late, "sorry princess, I had to stay back and talk to a teacher."

"It is fine, is everything okay?"

"Yeah, everything is okay princess" he smiled, getting into the car.

The drive consisted of Caleb and I telling each other about our days and singing along to the radio.

"So, I was kind of thinking that we should sing together again sometime" I smiled shyly.

"Did you like my voice that much princess?" he asked, laughing.

"Shut up, do you want to or not?" I laughed.

He smiled, reaching over to squeeze my hand, "of course, I would love to"

Smiling, I unlocked the front door once we arrived and walked straight up to my bedroom to start my forty math questions. We had been assigned them so that the teacher could gain an understanding of our academic level.

"What are we working on?" Caleb said, plopping down on my bed.

"Math, shouldn't you be working on these questions as well?" I asked, laughing.

"Probably."

"Alright out you go, I need to concentrate."

Caleb made his way back to his room while I opened my math textbook and another note fell out. It was the same as the last one yet this one seemed to creep me out a little more. Surely, it was all just a joke. I once again scrunched it up and threw it into my drawer where I had put the other one.

Pushing my thoughts about these notes aside, I begun working on the questions.

Thirty-two questions later, my back was aching from being hunched over the desk and my bottom was numb.

"Are you okay?" Caleb asked as he saw me wincing and stretching my back.

"Yeah, just sore."

"Come here" he said, putting his hand around my waist as he led me to the bed.

My breath caught in my throat as his finger brushed against the skin on my waist.

"Are you all good Princess?" he smirked.

"Yep, I am completely fine" I smiled as my cheeks turned a deep shade of red.

He moved closer to my face, making me blush harder, "your cheeks seem to say something different" he whispered in my ear.

"I was just going to give you a massage" he smiled, patting the area of the bed in front of him.

After sitting on the bed, I sighed as Caleb's hands moved to my shoulders. I could not help the small moan which left my mouth as he begun working on the knots that had formed in my shoulders.

"Do not make that sound again" Caleb groaned, gripping my shoulders.

"What sound" I smiled, acting innocent.
