|Chapter 13|
One smile from him can make my whole morning brighten up. I realized my birthday was in a week or two and I still hadn't thought of something to do or buy myself. After my mom got sick and my dad left I never asked for gifts anymore I just always planned out to treat myself a little extra. This birthday being one with my whatever Caden and I were.
That made me curious so I asked, "What are we?" I blurted out of nowhere obviously catching him off guard.
"What do you mean?" He nonchalantly questioned back.
"I mean, you and me. What are we? Are we're anything?" I said kind of blatantly.
"Well right now I guess we are a guy and girl going on dates and hanging out, but I wouldn't mind being more." He said thin with a slight questioning tone.
" Well I'd like that too." I was screaming on the inside at this point.
"So then Bell will you be my girlfriend??" He held my hand and laughed out of nowhere.
"Took you long enough." I laughed at our little number we did.
"Hmm I have a boyfriend now."
"Yep and I have a girlfriend." I was glad he hadn't said anything about my long sigh I didn't know I was holding in. Caden was the only person I ever fell in love with even in 8th grade. I looked down and smiled at the table when I heard a few clicks, I immediately knew he was taking pictures so I gave him a pouty face.
"Nope, not going to work. Now that you're my girlfriend I get to take pictures of you." I didn't want to so I agreed with him.
" Can I at least look at them? I won't delete any, promise." I gestured crossing my heart. He handed his phone over, I silenced his phone so I could take some pictures of him. After I did I sent them to myself along with the ones of me. I got up kissing him on the cheek and making my way to the sink.
"Hey Cade? Can we stay in today? I'm still kind of tired."
"Of course baby anything is fine with you" He put his forehead on mine, leaning down to give me a little kiss.
"Hey Caden I'm gonna go to Ace's house, him Alec and I are going to hang out. Is that alright?" Isaac walked out ready to go without an answer.
"Yeah kiddo be home by dinner. It's a school night, do you need a ride?" He sounded like a father would.
"No his brother is around the block at the grocery store he can get me."
"Okay, and don't be stupid!" He yelled after him. He walked over to the couch and rested his head on my stomach.
"What do you want to do?" I asked playing with his hair.
"This is okay for now.?" He half questioned. I nodded my head not wanting to do anything else either. We sat in silence for almost an hour. He played with my free hand tracing every line.
"Want to watch something on Netflix?" He handed me the remote, letting me choose.
"Have you seen Supernatural?"
"No, What is that about?" I just had to take advantage of this.
"Your new obsession begins now." I played Season 1, Episode 1. I layed in his arms now wide awake and interested.
"Do you like it?" We had finished half of the first season. I laughed as he shook his head and started the next episode.
"It's a really good show."
"I know I binged watched like 14 episodes the first day."
Around 10:30 Isaac had showed up.
"What the Hell?? I've been worried sick Isaac!" He started yelling when he came in the door.
"Sorry I ate over there."
"Fine but you tell me- Are you drunk?!!" He stopped mid-sentence and slowly raised his voice.
"What are you talking about?" Isaac slurred his words trying to argue back.
"Are you kidding me?? You're slurring your words and you can't walk!" I stood awkwardly watching, remembering every time my sisters came home late. Caden was so disappointed I could feel it in the room.
"Go to your room." Caden commanded
"Really bro?"
"Yeah 'bro' you say you ate there so you shouldn't be hungry. I don't want to deal with you right now. So yeah go to your room." Isaac sulked off to his room and slammed his door. Caden walked over to the couch and put his head in his hands. I walked over to the couch, I sat next to him rubbing his back.
"I'm sorry, once and awhile he comes home drunk or high and I don't want him falling into that life."
"No I get it, it's okay. I would hate for him to fall into that life too. He will learn that it's not good."
"I know he just never listens to me. It's fine." He pulled me over so my legs were over his, holding my hand.
"It's getting late." I sighed never wanting to leave.
"You could always stay again and I could take you to your house to get ready?" I looked at him smiling like an idiot.
"Really? I'd hate to intrude.."
"I said anytime and I meant it I love having you around." I laid down with my head on his chest.
"Thank you." I whispered as I drifted off to sleep, meaning it in more ways than one. We woke up at 6:00 and he got dressed. I stayed on the couch waiting for him to come out. He walked out of his room a few minutes later with my clothes in hand.
"I think you'd want these." He laughed grabbing his bag and taking my hand. I figured he talked to Isaac about school and we headed to my house. We pulled up and he tried staying in the car but I made him come in. I'm going to shower you can stay in my room if you'd like. I grabbed some clean clothes and hopped in the warm shower. I walked into my room letting my wet hair down to dry. I sat down to do my makeup, when he startled me.
"You're absolutely gorgeous without it." I smiled and just threw on powder and mascara.
"Well i'm barely wearing any so there."
"Still beautiful." He kissed me passion and love. I smiled into the loving kiss wanting nothing else.
"You ready?" I slipped on my boots and skipped over to him.
"Yep, but we're early so.."
"I have an idea come on." He took me to starbucks which he had made me love. We went inside and ordered, him paying knowing I didn't bring money. I stood on my toes and gave him a kiss on the cheek. We went back to his car and headed to school.
"Thank you Cade." I softly intertwined our fingers.
