Katie's POV
"Hey.. Liv.." I awkwardly greeted her back.What the heck is she doing here? I asked myself. Didn't she had just gone through a breakup with my brother?
"Can I join you guys? I mean we're all friends right?" she insisted in joining.
Caleb looked at me, almost as if he didn't want Liv to join us. But we couldn't say no. Its Liv. She's been our friend since I can remember.
"Yeah sure" Caleb said as she sat right next to him.
She didn't look too pretty. I mean, not as pretty as she normally is. She looked almost the same as Brennan earlier.
"So what's up?" Caleb tries to startup a conversation.
"Well, me and Brennan just broke up" she stuttered before breaking down in tears.
"Aww Liv. Don't be sad" I tried to make her feel better but it only made her worse. "I can't.. he was the love of my life.. why would he do such a thing to me" she mumbled as tears continue to rain down her eyes.
I felt bad for her. Genuine sadness. Because I know that I played a big part in this, but she doesn't know that. Which made me feel even more guilty.
Gosh Katie, why would you make things worse than it already is, I whispered to myself.
If only I didn't taught Brennan into thinking that Annie had feelings for him. Everything would be fine.
"There's plenty of fish in the water Liv" Caleb takes a shot at making her feel better.
And I nodded in agreement."Thanks.. guys.." she stuttered.
She looked at Caleb, then at me. And then had a look of realization on her face.
"Wait a sec, are u guys dating?" she curiously asked.
I began to blush as she said that. My cheeks felt like they were on fire. "Umm-" I said before being cut off by Liv.
"Oh my God, you guys totally are!" she excitedly said.
I took a quick glance at Caleb. And he was blushing hard as well. He was looking down on the menu, which was coincidentally on the table before looking up to me. We got into an awkward yet long, eye contact.
He gave me an adorable smirk.
"Well, it's about time guys! I shipped you guys so much!" Liv said.
I didn't really responded to her, but Caleb did. "Well, it seems like you have been feeling much better" he sarcastically said.
Which was true, all of her tears suddenly disappeared. And the tone in her voice changed, from sad to happy.
"You guys have fun. I'm gonna go now" Liv said. "Aww so soon?" I tried to make her feel like we wanted her to stay but in all honesty, not really.
"Yeah" she smiled. "Well bye" Caleb immediately said to her.
"Oh yeah guys and one more thing. Don't let each other go okay? You guys are perfect for each other" she adviced.
"Okay" Caleb laughs.
Liv stared at me, waiting for me to give an answer.
I took another glance at Caleb, and smiled. "Trust me, I wont" I answered her.
"Aww, you guys are so cute.. bye!!" Liv waved at us before exiting Starbucks.
We looked back into each others eyes. And laughed uncontrollably.
"Well, that just happened" Caleb laughs.
"She didn't even get a drink, did she?" I laughed as well.
We made a couple more jokes on how awkward the situation was, before Caleb got a call.
Caleb's POV
I was having, literally the best time of my life with Katie. She is truly the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. Every time she laughs, I just melt inside.But then, I got a call. From Brennan.
I was confused. Why would Brennan call me? I asked myself.
"Could you excuse me for a minute" I asked Katie. "Sure" she answered back immediately.
I went out of Starbucks, and stood out there before picking up the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey man!" he responded.
"Umm.. what's up?" I asked curiously.
"Well, I'm actually right outside your house right now. Can I come in? I just wanna hang out, you know. Its been a while" he explained.
"Oh. I would if I weren't out right now" I answered him.
"Really? Where are you?" he asked.
"I'm at Starbucks.. with.. Katie.." I awkwardly said to him.
"Oh yeah. Shit I totally forgot man. Katie did say that she was going out with you" he said back.
"Well I guess another time then?" he asked.
"Yeah sure.. I gotta go dude"
"Bye" he said before hanging up the phone.
Well that was a weird phone call, I whispered to myself.
I went back in, and sat back down where I left.
"So who was it?" Katie asked. "Brennan" I answered. She gave me a weird look before I added "He wanted to hangout".
"Thats weird. I told him that I was going out with you" she responded. "I guess he's not thinking straight" I smirked. "Yeah probably" Katie agreed.
We continued to talk about her problems after that.
"Yeah so basically, I'm kinda insecure right now" she concluded.
Me, being the witty person that I am. Looked at it as the perfect moment to say "Don't know what for" quoting 1D.
She literally burst out in laughter. "Omg Caleb" she laughed uncontrollably.
I don't know why I just said that, I thought to myself as she continues to laugh.
But I didn't mind it. If it makes her happy, then I'll be willing to make bad jokes all day.
"You're so adorable Katie" I said to her.
"Well you're not far from it either" she smirks.
"I'm glad that you opened up to me Katie. If you're in any sort of problem and you wanted to talk to someone.. you can text or call me anytime" I assured her.
"Thanks Caleb" she smiles.
"Well that's finished" she said as she takes the last sip of her coffee.
"How are you going back again?" I asked her. "I'm walking actually" she answered.
"Oh. Cmon I'll walk you home"
"Really? But your house is in the other direction" she said confusingly.
"Its okay Katie. I want you to be safe" I assured her that it's fine.
We went out of Starbucks. And I sent her home before going back to mine. It was an amazing date.
