KIERA

I ignored his call today so he came to the supermarket himself..

Caleb: Heyyy Kieraa...

Kiera: Shut up!! Shut up!! Shut uppppp!! I said you to call me in need. Not just call me to random places. Do you enjoy annoying me?

Caleb: I won't trouble you if you come to me. Anyways are we getting lettuce?

He tossed a lettuce to my cart. I tossed it back to where it was. He again kept it in my cart. I glared at him. I could feel my anger was at such level I could hit him. I think he felt it too. Cause the next thing he did was pick up the lettuce and put it back to where it was. Mission successful. After shopping we went to Caleb's house. He wanted to cook dinner. I mean a day off from cooking is a good day. He was swiftly chopping the veggies like a chef. Living in UK shaped him.

Kiera: You are injured yet you are fine with cooking?

Caleb: I like cooking for you.. Last time I ate the dumplings alone though. You can sit and wait. It won't take long.

Kiera: Hmm.

I turned to explore the rooms.

Caleb: By the way, empty your schedule tomorrow. We have to go somewhere.

Kiera: Okay.

I was looking at his desk and it was filled with photos of people. This was weird since Caleb doesn't click "photos of people".

Kiera: Human in your photos.

Caleb: Hmm. I think I will photograph people from now.

Kiera: Will you travel again?

Caleb: I should. My job is to travel.

Right. He wasn't gonna stay.

Kiera: Hmm. Travelling is your job.

After sometime, Caleb called for eating.

Caleb: I have made pasta with very spicy flavours and less veggies. Just the way you like it. I was very sad the day you left without eating.

I was looking at him, the food he made with so much effort and thinking about how I was gonna miss it when he leaves.

Caleb: What happened? Did I do something wrong?

Kiera: No, you did nothing wrong.

Caleb: Whenever you look at me like that my heart beats faster. I feel like you are gonna stand up and storm out.

Kiera: I was thinking if your back scars.

Caleb: Are you worried that if my back scars I will use that as means to call you every time?

Kiera: No, I will feel sorry for whoever you date in future.

Caleb: Heyy!! Kiera. Don't say like that.

Kiera: It's hard to love a man who leaves. Your dream is so far away. And if you're looking for a woman that'll wait for you like a harbor... That ain't me. The eighteen year old who was okay being halfway across the world with the twelve hour difference and the confidence to wait an eternity for you doesn't exist anymore.

It was the reality. He needed to know that. We kept quiet for the rest of the meal. A lot of dishes had been used.

Kiera: Give me the dishes, I'll clean.

I wore the rubber gloves near the sink. Caleb took it off from me.

Caleb: I'll do it. Don't worry.

Kiera: Let me do it..
