Me & You

Chapter 2. "I guess I like you a lot."

Caleb's POV

We pulled into the parking lot of Downtown Disney as I just texted Lilly goodbye. She's so nice and pretty!

But it's not like I like her that way...

Okay, maybe I do, but that's not the point right now!

I didn't realize everyone was outside the car until Hayley said, "Caleb, quit texting your girlfriend and hurry! We'll be late!!"

I turned off my phone and climbed out of the car. "Sorry, and she's not my girlfriend."

"Mmhmm." Annie said.

I playfully slapped her arm. "Shut up."

I saw the crowd and got excited. Lilly said she was gonna come, and that she was on the way. I hope she really is coming...

We said hello to many fans and took lots of pictures and stuff, then I saw Lilly.

I started smiling like a doof when I saw her. Her caramel colored hair was so beautiful, how it cascaded down her shoulders, and her beautiful blue-green shines brighter than all the stars in the galaxy.

I didn't realize I was staring until she said, "Caleb? Earth to Caleb?"

"Hmm?" I asked as I shook out of my daydream.

"Hey. I'm here!" She said with a wide smile.

"I'm so glad you could make it!" I said as I hugged her. I felt sparks between us, but I pulled away quickly because I didn't want to keep everyone else waiting.

"Hi!" Ashley said.

"Hello." I hugged her, too, then said goodbye to them.

That went by way to fast. Thankfully, Lilly said she'd meet us at the Build-A-Bear store after the meet up.

I couldn't wait!

•••

I ran faster when the store was in my sight. I saw her standing outside with her phone.

"Lilly!" I called.

She looked over and smiled. Gosh, her smile made my knees shake...

"Hey!" She said when I got there.

"Hi. So, what do you want?" I asked as we went inside with our families.

"What?" She asked.

"I wanna buy you something. What do you want?"

"Uh, this koala, I guess." She said as she pointed to a koala.

"I love koalas! Pick out an outfit for it, too." I said as I handed her the unstuffed koala.

"Why are you doing this, Caleb?" She asked me.

"What, you don't want me to give you a koala?" I teased.

She laughed. "No, of course I want one! But we just met, so I don't know why you're being so nice to me."

I shrugged. "I guess I like you a lot."

She blushed. Okay, that came out of nowhere...

Again.

I watched her do the little heart pledge thingy as she kissed it and placed it into her koala. I kinda wish I was the heart...

She then picked out a little cowboy outfit for her koala and made it a birth certificate.

"What'd you name it?" I asked as she hit done on the computer.

"Caleb. So I can remember you." She said as she went up to the register.

"That's sweet, thanks." I said as I payed for the koala.

She hugged me afterwards. "Thank you, Caleb. I have to go now, but we'll chat later."

I nodded and waved as she left.

I couldn't wait until we spoke again.

•••

It turns out she had to leave a day after we did, so I didn't get to see her again (since we left a day after the Disney meetup).

I was sad about that, but happy that we lived near each other. I hope we can see each other really soon!

I took out my phone and decided to FaceTime her on the plane.

She picked up and showed me her beautiful signature smile. "Hey!"

"Hi!" I greeted back. "We're already up in the clouds." I showed her my view.

"Looks great from up there! We're packing right now and getting ready for tomorrow. I hope this doesn't sound pushy or anything, but I kinda miss you." Lilly admitted.

"Me too. My sister says she hopes to see you in a couple months when you go back to her gym." I said.

She nodded. "I'm thinking of going permanently, since I like that gym better."

"Awesome!"

We talked for hours about everything; I learned she's an only child and lives with her mom, grandma, grandpa, and dog. She's also a cheerleader and does gymnastics to help with flexibility and tumbling.

She learned that Annie and Hayley are gymnasts, and that I play baseball.

We chatted until I had to land. I told her I'd talk to her later.

"Okay! Text me soon!" She said.

"Of course! I love you." I quickly covered my mouth and gasped. Did I really just say that?!

She laughed and blushed, yet played along. "Love you too. Bye!" She waved and hung up.

Why did I say that?! Gosh, I'm so stupid!

Hopefully that didn't make her feel as awkward as I did...

Do I love her? I mean, I just met her, but I do like her a lot. Should I tell her how I feel? I don't know...

I'll sort out my feelings later, because I almost missed my luggage on the conveyer belt.

We got in the car and drove home as I thought about Lilly. I really wanted to tell her, but it's kinda too soon, right?

Kinda too soon for me & you...?

A/N: My friend made me up update this at 3 AM because we're sleeping over and this is what she makes me do. So if it's kinda crappy, now you know why.
But I hoped you liked it anyway! Please vote comment and share if so! I love everyone's feedback ;)
Until next time!!
