Joe's POV
I woke up the next morning still with one thing running in my head. Caspar kissed Bella. I still couldn't handle the fact. I couldn't believe him. I grabbed my phone and did the one thing I know I needed to do.
"Hey. What's up?" Said Caspar from the other line.
"Caspar, what are you doing?" I said in an intimidating way.
"What do you mean what I'm doing? I just woke up."
"Oh come on. Stop playing."
"Well, I really like her."
"But you..."
"You want me to change, right? Well, here I am. Willing to change. So please, give me a chance to ask her out."
"What?"
"Joe, please. I won't disappoint you." Should I? I don't know if I could trust him but he sounded sincere.
"I don't care if you disappoint me. It's her that I care about."
"I won't disappoint her either." Maybe, just maybe, he's telling the truth when he said he wants to change?
"Okay, whatever. But once I see her shed a tear because of you, you're dead."
"Thank you, Joe!" I hung up without saying anymore words.
Am I making the right decision? Does Bella even want to do so? I don't want to see her get hurt anymore. That doesn't suit her. But the way Caspar convinced me...he's my friend. I have to at least try to believe him for once.
Bella's POV
The sound of my phone's ringtone woke me up from my craziest dream. I took my phone from beside me and picked up the phone from an unknown number.
"Hello? Who's it?" I asked rubbing my eyes while taking a look at my alarm clock. 9 am. Great.
"Hey, Bella." I know that voice from somewhere. I believe that voice belong to the one and only Caspar Lee.
"Hey, Caspar."
"Wow. You recognise my voice."
"Why do you call me?" Something about him annoys me. I shouldn't hate him for doing what he did I know but it was just wrong.
"I...eh...I...want to...ask you out...?"
"What? As on a..."
"Yes. As on a date." That...wasn't expected at all. But why?
"Listen. You don't have to ask me out just to show me you're sorry. It's all forgotten, Caspar."
"What? No. I mean...yes I'm sorry about last night but I really want to ask you out because...I think I like you." Don't do this to me! I've never been good with love stories and I don't want to be good with it. From what I know, love only leads to heartbreak and I have got enough of it. "Are you there? I'm sorry if you..."
"Why?"
"I...don't know. Can we just meet up first so I can explain everything? Can I come to your place?"
"Okay..."
"Great. I'll be there in a minute." What am I getting myself into?! Why am I letting him do...all those things he just did?! I'm so stupid. He definitely isn't for me. We're different in so many ways. But there's no turning back. I said what I said and all I need to do...is just wait and see.
I ran into the bathroom and took a quick shower. I put on my leggings and a supposed-to-be-baggy sweat shirt that doesn't seem baggy at all on me for sure. I put a little make up on and made my way to the front door just the right time as someone knocked on it.
I took a deep breath and exhaled. And kept doing it for God knows how long. I didn't even check on how I looked or ran a finger through my hair or anything normal girls would do when someone who just asked them out for a date knocked on their doors. No. I don't even know if I want this date or not. Scratch that. I don't even know if he's being serious or just playing around.
I didn't hear the knock anymore for probably a minute long. Somewhere inside me hoped he has left but that's just mean. So I opened the door and found him walking away.
"Caspar, wait!" I stopped him and he turned around with a smirk.
"I know you'd eventually open the door." He said cockily. I tried so hard not to roll my eyes and walked in leaving him but I knew he followed me inside when I heard the door being closed.
I sat on the couch and so did he. A little too close in my opinion so I moved a little and he just nodded trying to understand which is good.
There was silence for quiet a moment until he finally broke it. "Where's Joe?"
My shoulders were just so close at raising but I realised that'd be too rude so instead, I just answered him "in his room maybe." He nodded and there we were trapped in another awkward moment.
"Oh hey, Caspar...didn't expect you to be here this early..." Zoe walked into the living room with a shocked face. She stared at me but I didn't answer her questioning look. I didn't even know what she was trying to ask. She was confused I know but I was confused myself as to why he was here.
"Hey, Zoe. I just wanted to see Bella. That's all." He said with a smile and Zoe nodded hesitantly.
I didn't want Zoe to leave me alone but that'd be more awkward with Zoe's presence. So she started to walk back to her room and closed the door after her leaving Caspar, silence, and I. Just great.
"I've never been good with relationship." Caspar stated out of nowhere. "I'm afraid of commitment and I admit I do sleep around sometimes." I widened my eyes not knowing what to react to that. "Did. I mean did. I used to sleep around."
"Okay you don't have to repeat that."
"I'm sorry. What I'm trying to say is that last night, when I met you...it's just you're not the kind of girl I used to meet. You're different. But maybe I was too dumb to realise that you're different in a good way and I just did...what I did. Which was stupid I know. But when I realised it all, somehow myself told me that you're the one who can change me. You're the one who can make me change my perspective about relationship. And you're the one who makes my heart beats at its top speed when I see your eyes." Woah woah wait...did he mean it all? I don't even know. But I don't think he was lying. But isn't it a little too fast?
"Caspar, I don't know. I'm sorry. It's just...I know I'm fat. I don't get that much attention from boys. Well, in the way...you're doing now. But, that doesn't mean that I'm desperate for one. I gotta admit what you did hurt a lot. And I don't know if I can..."
"It's okay. I get it. I was being an ass. I'm so sorry." He looked down and I could see sadness in his eyes. He's not doing this to me. God, what did I do wrong? I can't stand watching people cry because of me. It makes me feel bad.
"Are you really willing to change?" I asked him concerned and his eyes widened a bit. He looked at me and nodded. "If so then...tonight, 7 pm. Don't be late." He smiled and I did too. I'm making the right decision, right? I really don't know. But I hope so.
