You Found Me

Chapter 15

Chapter 15 (Not yet edited)

Trent gave me a ride back to my house and he gave me the box that was beside the table in the room. The box is filled with my pictures that were once posted on the wall and some of my pictures that was scattered on the table in the room. He said that he stalked me and he even hired a private investigator to follow me around. I was angry at him but then he kissed me and all the anger I felt disappeared. He apologized to me and I forgave him and now we're good. He told me that we should start over and meet properly. I agreed with him so I have a date tomorrow. Well, not really a date, but we are alone together so that's called a date, isn't it?

When I arrived back home, my mom and Anthony weren't still in and I'm once again alone. I went straight to my bedroom and dropped the box at the bottom of my closet. I decided to keep it because it's my pictures and my childhood memories are there. I sat on my bed with my back against the headboard. I placed my laptop on my lap then opened it. I checked my Twitter and Facebook. There's a private message from Cal in my Facebook. I opened it.

You free tomorrow? ;)

No, I'm not free tomorrow.

I typed:

Why? Is there something wrong?

And pressed send. I decided not to tell him yet. I want to know the reason before I answer him.

And then, my door swung open. I turn my attention to the guy standing in my doorway. He's holding his cellphone on his right hand and he's running out of breath.

"You're here," Cal said breathlessly. He walked to my bed then lay down as if he'd been running a marathon. I just looked at him in confusion.

"Why? Is there something wrong?" I said. Then giggled when I realized I just said what I just messaged him.

He sat up then faced me and closed my laptop. I glared at him but he ignored me.

"Something wrong?" He moved closer to me. "Something wrong?" he said louder this time. "Anthony is freaking the hell out. He doesn't know where you were and it's fucking late. It's 11 in the evening, Alexis. I already told him you're home; he'll be here anytime soon. God, Alexis, you don't know how worried I was," He rubbed his face and he's shaking.

"I'm sorry," I reached out to him but he slapped my hand away.

"Just.." He inhaled deeply then exhaled. "Just let Anthony or your mom know if you are going to be home late." He stood up then heads to the door.

"Wait!" I called after him. I removed my laptop on my lap then ran after him. He stood still but didn't turn around. "Can you stay for the night?"

I don't know why I just said that. Okay, maybe I know why. But that was only because I feel bad not to hang with him tomorrow because I'm going to be with Trent. He then turned around with a grin on his face.

"Oh god," I muttered under my breath.

He's probably thinking... you know.

"It's not what you think. I just..I'm not free tomorrow," I told him in a fast tone. He laughed out loud. Literally.

"You're face..is..epic!" He is still laughing. I glared at him.

I stomped my right feet and continued to glare at him but he's still laughing his ass off.

"ok ok," he straighten up and looked at me. "I'm done, you're not free tomorrow?" He asked again. I shook my head.

"Oh." Disappointment spreads across his face. "I'll stay tonight then," He forced a smile but it looks like it's just a sad smile.
