His Obsession (On Going)

Chapter 25

Listen to 'At My Worst' by Pink Sweat$ feat. Kehlani

Melanie's POV

So this is the third day after I saw Caleb's naked body and I've not been able to face him! It's more like I've been avoiding him but hey it's for a good reason duh! Okay so it's dumb but whatever.

"Skittles! Hey,wait up!"the all too familiar voice yelled behind me as I tried to squeeze pass the packed bodies in the hallway. While some people were minding their business and rushing to wherever they were going to,a few others were giving me weird stares.

Who wouldn't? I was being called 'Skittles' loudly! I didn't hate the name or whatever but right now,I found the situation embarrassing.

I sighed in relief when I realized that he had lost track of me. I rushed to the Janitor's room and locked it. Seriously,Melanie? Of all places you could have hidden,this is where you came?

I leaned against the door while trying to steady my uneven breath.
I've seen Ela naked before but I find it pretty normal. It's like I see her as my sister and so there's no big deal seeing her like that but with Caleb?

I find it weird to act normal after seeing him in that state. That's f*cking awkward!

I was drawn out of my little bubble when I heard someone fiddling with the handle of the door. Who could it be?

Gosh I'm so silly! This is the Janitor's room! Probably it's the janitor coming to collect one of his many items from the room.

I face palmed! What excuse am I gonna give to him for being in here?

I came here for fresh air?
Dumb dumb dumb!

I used my hand to flatten a few strands that had popped out of my bun due to the running marathon I did a few moments before and breathed in and out before opening the door.

It was not the janitor!
I didn't know whether I should feel relieved or not! It was definitely not the janitor but the person I was trying to avoid.

My eyes went wide and I made an attempt to close the door but he held it wide open.
Someone should tell me why I ain't strong after all the freaking wrestling moves I've been watching?

He had a smirk on his face and he whistled as he stepped inside the room and locked it. This is not good!

"What did I do this time?"he asked tiredly while staring at me intently.
Did I already mention that I feel really uncomfortable when someone does that?

"W-what? Y-you didn't d-do a-anything." I stuttered nervously. Geez,what's with the stuttering?

"Jesus Christ,Melanie! Then why in the hell are you avoiding me?"

I looked anywhere but his face and cleared my throat before speaking up. "Caleb,I-I am not a-avoiding you okay?"

Liar,liar, pants on fire!

He looked at me like he was expecting me to say something more convincing.
"Seriously? This is all I get after being ignored for almost three days? After all my calls were sent straight to voicemail? Oh and let's not forget about those countless messages I sent ya!"

Don't tell me he was actually irritated? He has a right to be mad but he doesn't have to be mad,right?

"Caleb,I've not been checking my phone for a while now"I gave him a nervous smile.

It's true! I've not been checking my phone after I saw him nakey nakey. I wasn't ready to talk to him yet....I knew he'd call me!
