Cover My Eyes (A Jaspar Fanfic)

Part 7

Zoe sat in front of me warming her hands on a cup of tea that Marcus had made. My heart was pounding in my chest, she never showed up like this and now of all times?

"What's going on Zoe? Did something happen with Alfie?" I eyed my sister with a sense of protectiveness that only siblings understand. I wasn't in the mood to kick ass but for my sister, I might.

Zoe shook her head at me, eyeing me with her big blue eyes. They were so like mine and yet completely different. Especially now that they were overflowing with concern. Marcus went downstairs into my room to give us some privacy, he was too sweet but I felt bad for postponing our date.

"It's not my boyfriend, it's yours."

I shifted, too awkward to hold her gaze. "My boyfriend? If you mean Marcus we're not official yet." My face grew warm, turning my ears red, at the idea of dating him though.

"No not Marcus, he does seem nice though. I mean Caspar!"

"Caspar, no, I have moved on." My throat burned as I said those words. Marcus made me happy, didn't he? Is happy enough? I shook of those thoughts. They didn't have a place in my head anymore.

"Sure you have. That's what I'm trying to tell you. Caspar hasn't!"

"What are you on about? You sure seem to know what's going, but I don't. Just say it as simple as possible." I sighed. Why did I have to have a sister, they were so long winded. I'm too dumb for girls.

"Caspar wants to give you a chance. He does have feelings for you, he just had to deal with something first."

A knot formed in the pit of my stomach. Caspar liked me. He actually did but...

"Why are you telling me this? Shouldn't he be doing it himself if he really meant it"

Zoe chewed on her lower lip. A sigh escaped my lips, here we go again, another long winded chat was coming. "He said he wasn't ready to tell you yet but Oli told me you had a date today. It was now or never! At least tell me you'll consider it."

I thought it over, "No."

"What?" Zoe exclaimed her eyes full of hurt.

I cleared my throat, "I said no. He missed his chance. Now if you excuse me Marcus is waiting."
