The Stupid Dare (Completed)

Chapter 7

Chapter 7

Caleb groaned again. "I've tried so hard... But I can't help it..." He murmured, bringing his face closer. I closed my eyes in anticipation.

Then Caleb brought his lips down to mine. The kiss was magical, like nothing I had ever felt before. His lips were so soft, moving in sync with mine.

He gently bit down on my lip, asking for entrance, which I happily granted. His tongue explored my mouth, gradually coming to massage my own.

But nothing good can last forever. You see, by this stage, we kind of needed air. So, reluctantly, we pulled away from each other, both of us slightly out of breath.

"I'm sorry," Caleb muttered. "I shouldn't have done that," I gaped at him. "Do you regret it?" I asked nervously. He looked at me with eyes full of truth. "No."

"Why are you apologising then?"

"Because I shouldn't have kissed you. It was wrong. You don't want to get involved with me. I'm messed up, and I'll mess you up too.

I tried so hard not to have feelings for you, Zara, but I can't help the way my heart beats faster every time I see you or the way I feel sparks whenever we touch. I can't help it. I can't help but like you, Zara."

I stared at him, surprised. He felt all this? He felt it too? He liked me?! All I had to do was tell him that I liked him too.. Then break up with him at the end of the week.

Then I would have completed the dare. But part of me wanted to tell him I liked him and not break up. Part of me wished I had never made that stupid dare. I felt insanely guilty, he was pouring out his heart to me, finally letting me in and I was just going to abandon him. But would he still want me if I was a loser?

Maybe he just liked me because I was popular. Yeah, that was it.

"You just keep on telling yourself that," a sarcastic voice snapped in my head.

Ignoring the voice, I looked into Caleb's midnight blue orbs and said "I like you too, Caleb. I like you a lot. More than a-"

I was cut off by Caleb's lips crushing into mine again. This time the kiss was sweeter, more loving, less like the frantic lust-filled one we had shared a few minutes ago. It was still as magical, maybe even more so.

Caleb pulled away, leaving me slightly confused. "Will you be my girlfriend then? I mean, it's okay if you don't want to, maybe we're rushing-"

I cut him off with a short kiss. "Yes, I'll be your girlfriend. Now stop rambling," I laughed.

Caleb's worried expression was replaced by his trademark smirk. "Is it just me, or did that sound like I was asking you to marry me?"

He started to laugh, and I joined in. How was I going to break up with him? There was no way I could say it to his face. I'd just have to find another way.

"What're you thinking about, sweetheart?" Caleb asked. "Oh, nothing, just homework and stuff.."

I giggled nervously. He looked suspicious for a moment, but then let it drop. "Okay then."

"I should get going then, it's starting to get dark," I said, kissing him on the nose. He chuckled, pulling me out of his room and down the stairs. "Bye then, sweetheart, see you tomorrow," he gave me a gentle kiss goodbye and then I began to make my way home.

Later on that night, I was lying in bed, trying to sleep, when my phone buzzed and lit up. I grabbed it from my nightstand and checked the message I had received.

"From: Caleb

Goodnight, Zarabee. Sweet dreams ;)"

I quickly typed back a reply.

"Night, Caleb. See you tomorrow x"

I turned my phone off and slid under the covers once more. That boy was growing on me, and I wasn't sure if that was good or bad.
