Warning… For the next week and a half don’t expect an upload… I have exams right now… So this is just to satisfy you all….
As Thomas puts his phone in his pocket I look at both of these brothers. Looking down at what I’m wearing I groan. Of course they come when I’m in sweats and a baggy shirt. I look up at them and tell the both of them I need to change.
“Why do you need to change?” Zachary asks confused.
“Because I can’t look like crap…” I say as if obvious.
“So you don’t want our brother to know you were dressing like a homeless person and looking miserable as hell…” Thomas says and I glare at him at the same time Zachary punches him on the rm.
“Something like that… You won’t get it…” I say as I walk to my room closing the door and change into some jeans and a white t-shirt and manage to fix my ponytail. I walk out the room and motion the two brothers to come into the kitchen and sit around the table.
Resuming what I was doing earlier I turn off the Frank Ocean and take out the things from the oven and fix the stove. I hear the door knock and yell to come in because at this point we all know who it is… I hear footsteps walking inside the house but I don’t look up… I tend to the food.
When the footsteps stop I hear Thomas clearing his throat… Looking up from the stove I see Caleb.
I would be lying if I said he didn’t look good. He was wearing some jeans and a tight grey shirt and his hair was a complete mess. Looking t his eyes as he looked at me I can tell that he was hurt… And that hurt me even more.
We mutter hellos as we stare at each other for what seems like forever.
I look at my food, “Umm I made food if you guys want…” I say when I turn to see Zachary and Thomas staring at the stove and at the mention of food they quickly got up and grabbed their plates. Caleb is still standing there looking at me.
Staring at him I try to speak, “Umm do you want to go to the living room?” I ask him and he nods.
Walking from the kitchen I sit on the couch facing Caleb’s and we simply look at one another. It is silent between the both of us until Caleb says something.
“You look good.”
“Thank you.” I say….
“You know why? Because she fixed herself like a crazy woman when you were coming up here… She wanted to look nice for you.” Thomas adds in between bites.
I feel my cheeks grow warm looking at Caleb who is giving me a look that I can’t quite understand.
“You look good too.” I say as I stare at him and boy does he look good. I don’t know if his clothes shrunk or if he has been working out but his muscles are bulging from his shirt making his muscular frame really easy to notice.
“Thanks.”He says…
“So how have you been?” I ask and automatically I feel stupid. His brothers told me how he was.
“Do you want me to tell you the truth or lie?”
“When would I want yo to lie to me…” I say and he offers me a small smile.
“Well to be completely honest.” He says and then pauses for a minute, “I have been feeling like crap. I felt like kicking myself after what happened between the both of us and I know my brothers told you but I was miserable without you… I missed you.” He says softly as he looks at me.
“Caleb I-“
“I know Tatianna… I seriously fucked up with you and I’m sorry for everything. You probably think I’m an idiot for even coming here… I guess besides my brothers forcing me to come here… I wanted a reason to come see you face to face even though you want nothing to do with me.” He says.
Looking at him as he speaks I take in his words… He is such a sweetie it’s unbelievable… This is why I love him…
“Caleb can I just ask you something?”
“Anything.” He says staring at him
“Did you really not know that Alexandra liked you?” I ask him staring him in the eyes.
He looks at me, “A little bit… But never to the extent that she would kiss me like that. And to be completely honest it doesn’t matter at all because even if she did like me you’re the one for me…” He says and I shake my head.
“That’s where your wrong it does matter…. She was a bitch to me because she liked you. Do you know how many dirty looks and backhanded comments I got from so many people because all these girls like you and I don’t know if you realized as yet but I don’t like that.”
“We all noticed that.” Both Thomas and Zachary say at the same time and I ignore them looking at their brother.
“But how was I supposed to know Tatianna if you didn’t tell me… I would have done something if you told me and you know that.”
“I thought you knew…”
“And what bout you the whole Deon thing was not settling.”
“It was not my place to tell.” I say.
“But I could have found out about you helping him in a different way you think…” He says looking at me and I think back to the text message and him getting them.
“That’s true and I’m sorry.”
“Me too.”
Another moment of silence and Caleb breaks it,” You’re wearing the bracelet still.” He says pointing to my wrist.
I look down and I see the charm bracelet that Caleb had given me a while back. I didn’t take it off. As corny as it sounds I felt naked without it.
I smile a bit, “Yeah I couldn’t take it off… Did you want it back?” I ask him a bit sadly.
He quickly shakes his head, “Tatianna that will always be yours… As will my heart.” He says softly and quietly as he looks me deeply into my eyes.
Feeling confused I look at him, “Is this you saying goodbye to me?” I ask.
“I thought that’s what you wanted.” He says.
“I don’t know what I want.”
“Well at the party you seemed pretty sure that you no longer wanted to be with me…”
I sigh and look at him, “I was speaking out of anger I swear.. I looked back to what I said and did the other night and I felt so bad… I swear I am so sorry.” I say.
“It’s okay…” He says, “Tatianna I don’t want this to end.”
I’m about to say something when I hear the sound of forks clattering and I turn to see Thomas looking at the both of us while chocking on his food with laughter… His face is red as he looks at us.
“Are you serious Caleb?” He says laughing and I look at him.
Zachary reprimands him and tells him to shut up at this point I look at the both of them and ask them to leave for a little while and Zachary obliges pulling Thomas with him. When I hear the door close I look back at Caleb clearing my throat.
“You know we argue a lot right…” I say staring at him.
“Yeah but the main reason we argue is because we never talk about the things that bother us…” He says.
“And how do you know that won’t change?” I ask
“Because even if you hate me I will pry and pry until I know what’s on your mind. So we won’t have this problem.”
When I say I still loved him I wasn’t lying but the thing is this reminds me too much of my parents. They fought and made up all the time. To the point that no one even cared anymore. I don’t want to live that, especially with Caleb because I see what happens.
“Tatianna don’t do that.” He says looking at me.
“Do what?” I ask.
“Look for things that happened in the past and apply them here. I’m not whoever you’re thinking about.”
Damn he’s good.
I nod my head and look at him.
“Caleb I just don’t want to get hurt.” I say in a small voice.
“I get that and I promise to not ever intentionally hurt you ever again. I didn’t mean the words I said I swear…”
“I know Caleb… And I’m really sorry about throwing the vase and the plates… And slapping you. My anger gets the best out of me at times and I’m sorry about that.” I say.
“It’s okay…”
“Well thank you then.”
“Alright so back to your question Tatianna… Do you want us to be over?” He asks.
I bite my lower lip, “No I don’t… Far from it.”
“So can we try this again?” He asks me as his eyes look into mine.
I nod my head, “Yes I would like that very much.”
“Good because I missed you.” He says with a smile and then grins, “And I missed doing this as well.”
He leans over me standing up from the couch and is now towering over me. He bends down and slowly places his lips on mine softly. I smile against his lips because I missed him as well and I miss his kisses too. I lean in closer wanting more of his and he deepens the kiss. After going at this for a little while he breaks the kiss smiling at me and kisses my forehead.
He then makes space on the same couch as mine and takes a seat pulling me closer to him.
“So seriously now… How have you been?” I ask.
He sighs looking down at me, “Miserable… I was just in my room thinking of you at all time I’m not even going to lie. I ate, slept and worked out… That was all I did.” He says.
Well now I see why his muscles look bigger…
“What about you he asks?”
“Same as you… I either worked or babysat and I couldn’t get my mind off of you. Every time I would see someone’s green eyes it made me think of you… I was a mess.” I say
“Well at least I wasn’t the only one.” He says softly as he strokes my cheek and I smile up at him.
Looking up at him I study his face and admire him, even though he looks untamed and I see stubble everywhere on his face and he is in need of a haircut he still looks good.
“I love you.” I say.
“I love you too Giselle.”
I grin, “You really need to stop with that name…”
“I don’t think I can.”I roll my eyes and groan.
We stay like this on the couch I think just so we can make up for a month of not seeing each other.
We talk about the most random stuff until the door opens and I look at who’s there.
Of course it’s Zachary and Thomas…
“Okay so you’re going to hate us right now but we need Caleb at the moment.”
“Wait what?” Caleb asks Zachary now feeling confused.
“We have family coming over… And we couldn’t have you being all depressed so we thought if you would make up you guys would feel better and we could have fun…” Zachary says.
Looking at them I can tell Caleb wants to say something so I decide to speak. I kiss him on the cheek, “Go ahead… I have work.” I say.
“Wait you guys are good now?” Zachary asks and we smile.
“Thank fucking God!” Thomas says… and I glare.
“Can you not use the lord’s name in vain?” I ask and he looks at me.
“Thank goodness… Better?” He asks and I nod.
Standing up I look at them and pull Caleb up, “Text me later okay?” I ask and he smiles nodding his head.
Walking him to the door I smile and look at them. I walk over to both brothers and hug them catching them off guard slightly.
“Thank you guys.” I say smiling as they hug me back.
“No problem you’re like family” Zachary says.
“And please don’t let this happen again. There is only so much teenage romance I can take…” Thomas adds and we break the hug and they walk away leaving me with Caleb.
“Caleb can I tell you something.”
“Yeah sure” He says and walks over to the door frame leaning down.
“If ever you call me ghetto again or I see another girl kiss you… I will not hesitate to kick your ass.” I say sweetly.
“I would not have it any other way.” He says smiling and kisses me on the cheek as he walks away.
