Chapter 5 The Beat of My Heart

I sighed and snuggled closer to Caden's back. We were still in his room, it was the morning, that much I could tell. It had to have been about 6. I sighed again and snuggled even closer.

"Jeny," he breathed down my neck, making me shiver. "I can't think with you trying to touch me."

I could just hear the smirk in his voice. "Then maybe I should go." I said, having no intention of leaving.

"Nooooo." he whined, holding me tight to him. Now it was my turn to smirk. "Oh, now who's trying to touch who?"

He laughed, his chest making my head vibrate. We got up about 30 minutes later at 6:30. We'd have an hour to get ready and get to school. Yes, our school starts at 7:30 a.m. Totally unfair. I showered slowly, savoring the warm water running down my back. I was so happy that Caden liked me. Me! Jeny Daniels! It's shocking, yet not too surprising. I guess I should've seen it coming, huh? After the long shower, I got dressed in the clothes I brought: short jean shorts, a white flowy top, and my converse. I decided to curly my dark hair today, so I did that. By the time I was ready, it was 7:00. I ran down the stairs and out the door, avoiding Caden's mom at all costs. She did kind of scare me. I admit it. But she wasn't going to keep me away from Caden. No one could. Not Mike either.

When we were laying there together, I thought about when my parents died. Mike had never been around much. I had always blamed him for their death, but I knew deep down it wasn't his fault. Things like that happen all the time. But still, Mike could've been there more. Even after he took me in, he was barely there, and when he was, he was yellling at me about Caden. I felt tears sting my eyes as I knew I would have to face Mike at home about Caden. How is him liking me a good reason to keep Caddy away from me? Gosh, I don't understand Mike.

Outside, I saw Caden already in the car. He gave me a quick peck, which surprised me a little, then opened the passenger door of his car for me. "M' Lady." he said in a british accent. Which caused me to laugh out loud at how bad it was, then I slipped into the car.

On the way to school, we chatted about random things, and at one point I asked him, "Were you happy with Lucy?" I was really curious. It wouldn't hurt me to know if he was happy with her. I just wanted to know.

"We broke up because she became a bitch." he said.

I rolled my eyes. "That's not what I asked. Im not gonna be hurt. Just answer the question."

He sighed and stopped the car, as I just noticed we were at school. "Yeah. I was. But she changed. And I regret it."

I sighed this time. "Don't regret something that once made you happy, Caddy." I said.

I jumped out of the car and made my way to my locker. It surprised me when I felt Caden's warm hand grab mine and walk with me down the hall. I looked up at him and he smiled down at me, and I smiled back. Everyone stared in shock at our hands, but no one said anything all day, which I was greatful for. There probably would've been more drama, but Lucy wasn't there.

As Caden drove me home, I began to feel nervous. I didn't want to face Mike, but then again, I also did want to. He tried to keep me from being happy. I wanted to know his reasons.

He opened my door and helped me out. As I stood in front of my house, Caden pulled me into a hug and kissed the top of my head. "I hate the fact that you're taller than me." I muttered into his chest.

He laughed. "Trust me, there is an advantage in it."

I looked up at him. "What's that?"

He smiled at me. "When I hug you, you can listen to my heart, which beats only for you."

I swear, my heart stopped. I blushed and leaned in and kissed him. He seemed surprised that I ignitiated it, but kissed me back, wrapping his hands around my waist as mine went to his neck.

"I'll see you tomorrow." I mumbled against his lips.

He nodded. "Oh yeah, you will."

I laughed and headed into my house, throwing a wave over my shoulder. When I entered the house, I remember about Mike and my laughs stopped. Caden made me forget the world, in a good way. He distracted me from all my problems. That's part of how I know I love him.

"Where the fuck were you?!" Mike screamed out, slamming his fist on the table.

I winced. He scared me sometimes. "I was with Caden." I said.

His face got even redder with fury and threw a plate at the wall, as I watched the glass shatter. "I told you to stay away from him!"

"Why?" I asked. Even though I knew the truth, I wanted to see if he'd tell me it himself.

He glared at me. "Because I said so."

"Why do you hate him?!"

"Because I do!"

"I know why!" I finally screamed.

He stopped, and looked at me. "He told you?" he asked quietly.

I nodded silently. "Why don't you want me to be happy?" my voice was equally quiet.

His face softened. "It's not like that."

"Then what is it like?!" I screeched.

"He doesn't deserve you!"

"And why not? Maybe it's me who doesn't deserve him!"

"You deserve the world Jeny. He's just gonna hurt you!"

I stopped yelling and began walking up the stairs. "No, he won't." I threw over my shoulder.

"Don't come crying to me when he leaves." he said, then slammed the front door as he left.

Oh. I forgot that Caden was leaving in two months. God, how could I be so stupid? It won't last. When he goes to Hollywood, he'll meet new famous California girls, and forget all about me. After all, I'm just Jeny Isabelle Daniels. Nothing more, nothing less. He won't care that he controls the beat of my heart.

Hope this was good! I know it's not too long, but I don't know how to write what I want to happen! This story won't be too long, maybe no more than 20 chapters. PLEASE TELL ME WHO SHOULD PLAY CADEN!! I have a good person to play Jeny, but she's 35 :/ She doesn't look that old though, so I have her, she played in the first Transporter. She's Asian, but it's okay. Just give me a suggestion of who should play Caden. Thanks bunches! This is dedicated to HoorayForPie because she comments all the time :D
