Caleb

Elena Cruz. Just thinking her name sent a thrill through me. She was a puzzle, a captivating enigma that I couldn't get out of my head. Her fiery spirit, her confident stance, and those expressive eyes that seemed to look right through me—they all drew me in from the moment I first saw her.

I remembered our first encounter vividly. She had bumped into me during her admission documentation, her eyes wide with a mix of apology and defiance. Those eyes had stayed with me, haunting my thoughts and dreams. From that day on, I couldn't stop thinking about her. She was mine, and I knew it, even if she didn't yet.

I knew she thought my declaration was arrogant, but that didn't matter. What's mine is mine, and I can't fucking let anyone come close to her. I had to protect her, to keep her safe from this harsh world. She was so delicate, so precious, that all I wanted was to pamper her until her cheeks turned red with embarrassment and joy.

As I walked through the campus, my mind was consumed with thoughts of Elena. I decided to confide in Alex, my best friend, about my feelings. He was the only one who understood the depth of my emotions.

"Hey, man, got a minute?" I asked, finding Alex near the gym.

He looked up from his phone, nodding. "Yeah, what's up, Caleb? You look like you've got something serious on your mind."

"It's Elena," I said, my voice tinged with a mix of frustration and longing. "I can't stop thinking about her."

Alex raised an eyebrow, a knowing smile playing on his lips. "The new girl? The one you claimed as yours in front of her class?"

"Yeah, her. I know it sounds crazy, but I can't help it. Ever since I saw her, I've been obsessed. She's all I think about."

Alex chuckled, shaking his head. "You've been possessive about your closed one's, Caleb. But i haven't seen you like this for someone"

"She's different. She's so delicate, so perfect. All I want to do is to be close to her, make her mine in every way possible. But she doesn't understand that yet. She doesn't see that I'm doing this for her own good."

"You know, she might need some time to come around. You can be a bit... intense," Alex said, trying to sound diplomatic.

"I know, but I can't change who I am. What's mine is mine. And Elena is mine. I'll always be with her, even if she doesn't like it right now." I paused, my gaze turning steely. "I just need to make sure no one else comes close to her."

Alex nodded thoughtfully. "Just be careful, man. Don't scare her away. Show her why she should trust you, why she should want to be with you."

"I will," I promised, my voice filled with determination. "I'll show her that she belongs with me."

"Caleb, you've never been this possessive about any girl before. There are so many girls who drool over you, and you don't give a damn. How is she different?" Alex asked, genuinely curious.

"She's everything I've ever wanted but never realized. Her fiery spirit, her strength, and the way she carries herself—it's intoxicating. No one has ever made me feel this way. It's like she's a part of me I didn't know I was missing. And I can't lose her, Alex. Not to anyone or anything."
