Ch17-'Can we talk?'

I pull away after a few seconds.

"Sorry, I just.." Four stutters whilst scratching the back of his head.

"It's okay" I grin with a small chuckle.

We walk to my house and eventually, we arrive at my doorstep.

"Thanks, for tonight" I smile.

"It was nothing" he laughs.

I laugh.

"Night, Tris" He says as he walks away.

"Night" I say quietly as he strolls away.

I open my door and check the clock. It displays the time 9:50 so I set my keys down onto the kitchen table and I walk into my bedroom. I don't hear or see anyone around the house so I just change into my pyjamas. I just wear a grey vest top and some grey, drifted bottoms.

I come out of my room to see my mother and father on the coach laughing.

"Hey sweetie, did you have a good time?" Asks mother.

"Yes thanks, it was amazing. Where you sitting there when I came in?" I ask.

"No, you would have saw us if we were" she replies.

"Oh" I say as I get a glass of water.

"Where did you go?" She asks.

"Mandori Resort" I reply and await their reaction.

"What? Four payed for you to go to Mandori Resort?" My father asks in shock.

"Yes" I reply blandly.

My mother and father smile at each other.

"Impressive, what did you eat?" Asks my mother.

"Beef burger and chips. Oh and a slice of chocolate cake" I smile.

My mother laughs as she looks at my after who is grinning.

"What?" I ask.

"Your father and I had our first date at Mandori Resort" She smiles.

"Really?" I laugh and they nod.

"I ordered the chocolate cake and your mother had a vanilla sundae for dessert. I kept spilling it and your mother kept laughing at me so being the immature teenage I was, I aimed a bit at her and it got her right on the nose" he laughs holding his ribs.

"It went in my eye too" my mother says.

I laugh and take a seat on the coach opposite them.

"Is Caleb in?" I ask.

"I think he's in his room" Father says.

I get up and walk towards his bedroom door. I put my ear up against the door and I hear nothing.

"Caleb?" I ask whilst knocking.

"What?" he asks.

I open the door to see him drawing in a black note book.

"What do you want?" He asks miserably.

"Why didn't you tell me about Ellen?" I ask and his eyes light on fire.

"I don't know what your talking about" he replies.

"Don't play dumb, I saw you before holding hands, kissing and stuff" I say awkwardly.

"You followed me?" He asks angrily.

"No, I came to look for you because I was worried and I heard your laugh" I explain.
