Calebs. P.O.V.
i heard a door slam shut in the distance. then i saw a familiar looking shape. not to slim, not to big just perfectly sized. her body was coming out of the darkness. i just knew it was Kassie, because i recognize her features and the way she moves.. she looked left, then right. i dont think she saw me. but when i waved when she looked over in my direction she didnt react to it. well she actually started to paddle very fast. i think i even saw a shimmer on her cheek.. she was crying.
i should actually stop worrying about her, and start thinking about Demi more. she is my actual girlfriend.
who drives you crazy...
i shook my head and got my phone to look at the time, fuck. i have been standing here for like 10 minutes after I didnt see Kassie anymore. just watching nothing, looking into the darkness. i stepped on my bike again and drove the last two minutes over to the restaurant.
''hi Caleb, how are you?'' Rose asked. ''i am good, thank you. how are you guys?'' i replied to her and looked over at both of them. ''yeah, we are alright'' i heard John say. ''you have just missed Kassie'' Rose said with a sympathetic smile. ''oh really'' i asked and looked down.
why am i so bummed out about not seeing her? how is it possible that she cant get out of my head.
i want to stop thinking about her so bad but i just cant, i hate it but i cant.
i just started to prepare the food for the customers a little while ago. i think work is just the best distraction, i takes my mind of thinks you know. the passion i feel for cooking is so ridiculously big. its unbelieveble. i just love the way they respond to what i made for them, well if i did good.. which i believe is mostly the case. the happy faces they make after they finished their dish, the one that i made. it just makes me feel valued. i smiled. its so cool that my hobby became my work. i love it so much.
a few hours passed and the few guests we had were gone. so i started cleaning the place. the kitchen is not that big so i will be done in like 30 minutes.
"hey, its fine like this Caleb. you can drink something with us and go home after if you want." Rose spoke up to me. "oh, okay.. are you sure? i was just finishing up actually." i responded in a tired voice, which was not really planned. she nodded. "Caleb, let me be honest with you.. you seem so confused and tired lately. I dont know whats up with you but if you want to talk about it, you can always call me you know. a-and u-uhm Kassie... she cares about you too, she also behaves a little strange. she might say or act like she doesnt, but im her mom and i see that she does care about you... i know something is up with one of you..." she said after a few minutes in a kind and caring tone. "i dont know whats up either, i just feel a little strange latetly."i replied. all she did was smile...
i didnt lie completely...
offcourse someone brought Kassie up again, just when i was distracted for a while. well i know Rose meant it in a good way. she is a really nice person.. well at least i think so, i dont really know her that good.
"hii. the kitchen is clean and the garbage is out." i spoke up to the two who were just scrolling trough facebook. John just nodded and while scrolling, and Rose looked up at me and smiled. She mouthed "thank you". I gave her one single nod to reassure I got what she meant.
It is like half past 11 in the evening... a phone starts ringing. My eyes immediately shot to the phone in front of me on the bar we were sitting on.. me on the opposite side of the two owners..
"Hii Kassie, ... Okay dear" I heard Rose say when she picked up the phone. My head sank and my stomach dropped..
" Damn Caleb, get your shit togheter.. she is not even your girlfriend man." This voice in my head said. "But what if she should be!" I suddenly blurted out.. then I realized I was still in the restaurant at the bar.
Two heads popped up, staring at me with big eyes... I cleared my throat.....
