You're mine

Chapter 15: Roses are red

Leah's POV

I woke up and got dressed. Today was Valentine's day, and I didn't even had a gift for T... I walked around the house, getting ready and thinking about what I could get her.

Once I had to leave, I still had no idea what to get.

I arrived at Cam's house, and this time, she was waiting at her doorstep. "Leah, finally!" she said as she came walking towards me. "What took you so long?"

I sighed and looked down. "I just got a lot on my mind."

"Oh I know what you mean."

I looked at her. "You do?"

"Yeah." she said and took something out of her back pocket. "Happy Valentine's day!" she said as she gave me a tiny box.

"Cam, we're not dating anymore."

She looked at me, she seemed upset. "I know." she said and looked down. "I just wanted to give my best friends something, besides, I had already bought it before you broke up with me. It's for you, please just take it."

I looked at it, I knew I better not took it, but it was a really nice gesture of her. And I wanted to know what was in there. "Alright." I said and took it.

Cam smiled big. "I hope you'll like it."

I slowly opened the little box and in there was a bracelet. The bracelet had my name on it. I looked at her, gasping. "Wow, you shouldn't have."

"I know." she said and smiled proud, she knew it was a pretty gift. "But I wanted to. I hope you like it."

"I do like it." I said and looked more at it.

"You know, it's a bracelet, you wear it around your wrist."

I looked at her. "I know." I said and slowly put it on. "It's really nice."

She smiled and continued walking. "I've told you you'd like it."

I smiled and together we walked to school.

Talia's POV

I woke up and still hadn't found an idea for a gift. I wanted to give her something beautiful, but not to much or expensive either. We were only together for 4 days...

I got up and got ready. I went through some advertising folders, looking for something I wanted for her. But nothing was perfect enough for her.

When it was time to go to school, I got in my car and drove to school. On my way over there, I suddenly got it. I knew what I wanted.

Now when do I get it? I'd see Leah after school, so I want to have the gift then... But we'll have our date after school, around dinner time probably... I'll buy it after school, I hope I'll find it.

I parked my car at the parking lot and got to the teacher lounge. "Hey." 

Heather looked at me. "Hey, so what do you have in mind for your girl?"

I sat down in front of her and smiled. "I think I've got the best gift."

"Really?" she asked as she came closer to me.

I smiled and nodded.

"Well come on, tell me!" she said impatiently.

I chuckled. "Why do you need to know?"

"Oh come on, Talia, I'm your best friend." she said and by now Mary and Charlotte came to sit with us.

"What's going on?" Mary asked.

"Talia has found a gift for her girl, but she isn't telling me." Heather said, pouting.

I shook my head. "Nope, you don't need to know."

"When are you going to give it? During your date tonight?" Charlotte asked to which I nodded.

"Ahh I love Valentine's day." Mary said to which we all nodded. "I got something for my man, he'll like it." she said as she smirked.

We all laughed a little. "Really? I didn't think of you like that." Charlotte said to Mary. "What about you?" she asked Heather.

"I've just got us some tickets to the movies and afterwards a nice dinner. He'll like it, just simple things." she said.

"Wow, I really feel left out now." Charlotte said. "Everyone's dating besides me."

"Well go out there then, you're good looking." Mary said. "Look at Talia, she found someone too."

"Was that supposed to be a compliment?" I asked.

Mary gave me a look and looked back at Charlotte. "You're time will come."

"Yes, you'll find yourself a man or a woman, don't worry." Heather said and smiled.

I smiled too and that's when the bell rang. We all went to our classes and that's when I saw Leah, in the hallway, talking to Cam. Cam was holding Leah's wrist, and it actually made me feel... Jealous.

I watched them, not even thinking about what people might think about me watching two students. "Hey Talia, you're alright?" Heather asked. Before I could answer she looked to where I was looking. "Love's in the air, even for students." she said, smiled and left.

I sighed deep. "Yeah." I said soft and walked to my class. What was going between Leah and Cam? Why did Cam held Leah's wrist?

So many questions, I hope Leah will focus on us tonight. And not on Cam.

Leah's POV

The school day went by fast. Everyone was in a really good mood, probably because of Valentine's day.

Today, during the day, the students committee delivered roses to students who got one. You see, students could order a rose and write a note with it, and the students committee would deliver it during classes. You could send it anonymous or with your name or nickname or whatever you wanted. 

Every year, I got one from Cam, and Cam got one from me. But this year, I hadn't bought her one. I wanted to buy her one, as best friends, but knowing Cam, she'll take it the wrong way and think I want her back. So I decided not to buy one.

Unfortunately when they came to deliver the roses, I received two roses. I looked at Cam and saw her smiling. I sighed deep, she did not only bought me a roses, she bought me two roses...

I looked at her and shook my head, letting her know I hadn't bought her one. She seemed upset but kept smiling at me. She really needed to let go.

I took the cards that came along with it. The first one said: 'Like every year, I love you. Cam'

I sighed and took the second card, already dreading what's on there. It read: 'I wanted you to think of me. T.'

I actually smiled with that card. T had send me a rose! That was a risky move and yet she did it. I smelled at the rose and put it away safely.

I think Cam noticed because she was looking at me, more glaring at me. She probably wondered who send me the second rose.

I decided to take T's card and put it in my pocket, no one was going to read that, and certainly not Cam. She's pissed of already.
