Skyler
It's been 2 weeks since Caleb kissed me but it feels like ages,I guess he grew on me because I really miss him. His the only true friend I've made here but now we just ignore and avoid each other.
After class,I walk through the hallway, heading to my science class. I see Caleb walking towards me with his friend Steve.
I need to talk to him,I don't want our friendship to be ruined just because of a stupid kiss, besides,I have Lucas though we don't talk much these days but Caleb knows full well that I really like Lucas.
Caleb used to pass flirt-ish comments every now and then but I thought he was just being silly, being my friend.
I didn't see the signs that he likes me.
Does he like me?
Duh. Of course he does,he wouldn't have shoved his tongue in my mouth if he didn't.
He is really handsome though, and he looks even better in the army green t shirt he's wearing, with blue plants and a long sleeved black shirt tied around his waist, swaying as he moves,his backpack slung over the left shoulder and his hair,messy as always.
He doesn't seem to notice me,or maybe he's ignoring me,but we need to talk,we can't keep doing this.
When he passes me,I frown. "Caleb"
He stops in his tracks,but he doesn't turn around probably because he recognizes my voice.
He looks over his shoulder and God...those eyes are bloodshot,it makes me take a few steps back,he's definitely still upset.
He continues his walk when he turns away,I'm prepared to run after him so we could talk but then the bell stops me.
"I'll be late for science class." I mutter to myself and head in the opposite direction to my next class but I swear this isn't over.

After school,I had to take the bus because dear sweet Caleb Canosa doesn't want me near him, but I don't care if he's angry or if he shouts at me. I just want my friend back.
So I head over to their house taking huge steps but halt when my phone rings. It's Olivier.
"Bitch!!!! Why the hell won't you call me these days?" Ollie says immediately I answer,I almost drop the phone because of his loudness.
"Ollie! You freak!" I spit causing him to laugh.
"I miss you girl,we barely talk" he says softly.
I pretend to gasp. "Olivier Trenton? Is that really you?"
He scoffs. "Fuck off"
I laugh. "I miss you too but I need to do something real quick, let me call you later"
"Are you going to fuck someone?"
I gasp and shake my head as if he can see me. "No,of course not"
"Is that why you're so busy these days?"
"Ollie, we're done here" I say and remove my phone from my ear
"Bitch don't you dare hang up!" I hear him say before I cut the call.
I sigh when I reach the Canosa's front door. I don't know why my heart is thudding so fast in my chest, maybe I'm just scared that Caleb might not want is to be friends anymore,that thought makes my heart ache.
I really like Caleb,not in a romantic way but a brotherly way,like what I feel for Ollie. So if he has any feelings for me,he should just swallow them,I'll not prepared to lose my Friend for that.
After openning the short wire gate,I see that Caleb's car is not here, meaning he's not home. But I'll take my chances.
There's another car,a black jeep. Maybe Mrs Canosa bought a new vehicle. I shrug.
I knock on the door a little too loud,my hands are shaking and my knuckles are white.....fuck I forgot to apply lotion,I quickly glance around before licking them.
The door creaks open after what feels like an forever,I drop my hands so that Caleb won't see me licking my knuckles.
"Look Caleb,I know that you're probably gonna slam the door in my face but will you at least listen to me?" I start.
"You know about Lucas but you still kissed me. You're my friend and I don't want that to ruin our relationship." I inhale. "I don't care about what happened,it was a mistake bu-"
"Caleb's not here." A deep hoarse voice cuts me off.
All this time I was blabbering, I didn't even look at him once, because I thought if it was Caleb, he would still have that scary look on his face.
I look up to see the person. He stands there with a phone in his hand, wearing nothing but a pair of black sweatpants which hang loosely on his hips.
His chest has golden tanned skin without an ounce of hair,a rippling six pack as my eyes travel down and oh my he has the V.
His silky short dark hair is damp,like he just had a shower. He slightly leans on the doorframe and there is cockiness in his stance.
His a god.
I've never in my life seen a man who has a body like his. It should be a crime to look like that.
I bite my lip as my eyes roam over his naked torso again,he's definitely sexy.
I tear my eyes away from his tonned stomach and meet his slate-grey piercing eyes. His brows raise and I can tell he saw me checking him out,my cheeks flush with embarassment.
Say something,say something
I open my mouth but nothing comes out. My breathing hitches and my heart starts to pound against my chest,it feels hard to think and breathe when his musky scent of aftershave is in the air.
"N-no?" I stammer and instantly want to slap my self.
"Who the fuck are you?" He growls.
I gulp,my heart flips when I meet his eyes again. "I..I'm Skyler" I exhale.
He stays silent, as if waiting for me to say something,his piercing gaze studying me and I just wish the earth would swallow me right now.
Maybe the Jeep is his,wait. Caleb did say his brother would be coming,is this his brother? Well he does look a lot like Mrs Canosa,so maybe he is.
"Are you Noah?" I ask,my voice sounding pitchy. What the fuck is wrong with me?
"I am" his voice is insanely hoarse,it's a major turn on. "Are you Caleb's girlfriend?"
I shake my head. "No"
"Then what are you doing here?"
Eish....rude much. Before I could answer,I hear a dog.
Bark
There aren't any dogs around here,where would that sound be coming from? I look around but see nothing.
Bark,bark
That sounds very close,maybe it's the TV in the Canosa's.
"I'm coming Juan" Noah says to someone in the house.
Juan?
Isn't that the dog Caleb was talking about?
"You want to play outside boy?" Noah asks the dog.
Bark bark
Outside? This is outside. I'm outside. That monster is coming outside?
Noah opens the door reviling a white Labrador dog,which starts licking its feet.
"Jesus Christ!" I shout without realizing.
My heart thuds faster than before,and I thought it was hard to breath before but right now,I might pass out.
The fear penetrates my body is making my legs wobbly and my hands shake vigorously at my side.
Shouting only made the animal notice me,he starts advancing towards me and I don't think twice before running for the hills.
I hear the dog barking, Indicating that it's chasing me.
God...I feel like I'm in slow motion.
I jump over their short gate and close ours after I enter our compound,it's too tall for the dog to jump.
I'm panting and panicking when I turn to see that the dog is still at the Canosa's, barking relentlessly.
"Juan! Come here." Noah calls the dog, which runs back to him. "You chased the pretty girl away" he says with a little laugh and he leans down to pet his dog.
Did he just call me pretty?
Oh fuck him. He let that beast chase me. Damn....I jumped over a gate,I bet he thinks I'm a weirdo.
I walk to our front door and I turn around to look at him,only to find him already staring at me,his hands on his hips as he shakes his head.
I glare at him and shut our front door with a loud thud.
