Unexpected Love

Chapter 21

" Get up Kenya." I heard Caleb's mom say.
I smelled something delicious and opened my eyes.
His mom was standing with a tray in her hands. It had pancakes, eggs and bacon.
I licked my lips and as if on cue my stomach grumbled. I smiled sheepishly and laughed.
" Thank you. I've never had breakfast in bed." I said.
I sat up and pulled my pillow up to support my neck.
She handed me the tray and I could see the steam. I sat the tray down on my lap.
" What time is it anyways?" I asked before taking a bite.
I closed my eyes and smiled before opening them.
" 2"
" I'm sorry. I was really tired. Long night." I said, taking another bite.
" Don't worry honey. You're welcomed here anytime for however long." she said with a smile before leaving.
I continued eating and turned on my phone.
I called Sarah and she picked up on the first ring.
I told her about everything that happened and she told me she was sorry and she would be available anytime.
" So you and Caleb?" she asked.
I rolled my eyes and set down my tray on the nightstand.
" He apologized. He explained everything and I forgave him." I said.
" Any details?" she practically begged.
" Basically he found me sleeping on a random bench and carried me to his car. He drove and spoke while I listened. He told me her cared about me and that whenever we kiss or touch he would get an electric feel, which I thought only I got! And-" I heard somebody clear their throat and looked up.
Caleb was standing in the doorway, dressed in shorts and a red shirt. He had a smirk on his face and I blushed but frowned at him.
" I gotta go" I said and Sarah laughed.
" Get me hip later." she said and hung up.
I tossed my phone down and crossed my arms across my chest.
" You couldn't knock like a gentleman?" I asked.
He laughed.
" So you get that feeling too?" he asked, ignoring my question.
I blushed again but tried to look annoyed still.
" Bye." I said.
Instead he came in and plopped down in bed next to me.
" How was breakfast sleepy head?" he teased me.
I raises an eyebrow.
" Good. Now go." I said.
I can't believe he eavesdropped on my conversation with Sarah. He will hold it over my head forever.
" Why you so pressed?" he smirked and leaned closer to me.
He smelled like cologne.
" I wouldn't be acting like this of you didn't eavesdrop." I said.
He kissed my cheek.
" I'm glad I did. At least I know how you feel about me. Women are so difficult!" he said with a grin.
I blushed.
Why do I always have to blush?!
" Women are not difficult. Men are. Always giving mixed signals and never show their feelings." I said with a huff.
" I don't hide my feelings. I put them out there" he said and kissed my cheek again.
I swear he is teasing me right now.
" Well that's because you aren't a true man." I teased.
He raised an eyebrow and looked at me amused.
" Oh really?"
I nodded and before I could even blink he was on top of me, holding my wrist down gently but firmly.
" I'm not a man?" he questioned.
" Did I stutter?" I said.
He leaned closer to me.
" I think I'm a man." he said.
I rolled my eyes.
" That's because you are full of yourself."
He leaned even closer to me and his lips were so close to mine.
" You find that sexy though." he whispered.
I had to find voice before I spoke.
" It's a huge turn off." I whispered.
He closed the space between our lips and our lips moved in sync. His hands went up to my hands and intertwined them.
" I can show you that I'm a real man" he mumbled and I continued kissing him. His lips went down to my neck and started sucking. I moaned quietly and he leaned back smiling at his artwork.
His lips went back to mine and I kissed him passionately. He put his body against mine, making sure to not hurt me, and I went down to his neck. I gave him a hickey and smiled. It was my first time giving one and was quite satisfied.
" Can't escape from that." I whispered with a laugh and he kissed my lips one more time before pulling away.
" I want to see the first hickey you have ever given." he said with a grin.
I got up and went into my bathroom.
I still can't get over how each bedroom has its own bathroom.
As soon as I looked in the mirror I could see it.
I admired it with a small smile. Caleb came behind me and checked his out too.
" Damn. Pretty good" he whispered in my ear.
I rolled my eyes but smiled, pleased.
I kissed the top of my head.
" Clean up and get dressed. You still need to talk to your parents. And I need to talk to them. I'm sure they aren't happy about me just ditching you out of no where." he said.
I turned around and smiled.
" They'll forgive you like I forgave you. Maybe not as quick but you just got to explain to them." I said.
He smiled back and nodded.
" I have to stay on your parents side. I might need their blessings one day" he winked and left without another word.
Blessings? Is he thinking about asking me to marry him. I know not now but in the future. The mere thought made me really happy and I forgot all my worries.
***
I knocked on the door and squeezed Caleb's hand.
He smiled at me reassuringly and I smiled too.
My mom opened the door and let me in.
" I forgot my keys." I said.
She nodded and Caleb sat down and I sat on his lap.
My dad came in and frowned.
They both sat down across from me and Caleb. They looks so tried and my moms eyes were swollen and red. She must have just got finished crying.
" I'm sorry. I overreacted but I was just so angry and hurt and confused. I thought you two were my parents and I never expected this so it hit me with shock." I said, looking them both in the eye.
" And I'm sorry for leaving your daughter in the blue. I lost my little sister and grandparents and promised myself of never get close to anybody ever again and when I realized that I was really attracted to your daughter I got scared. I didn't want to be around if she ever left or something happened to her. But I'm here now. I actually ran into her yesterday. But I do care about your daughter. and I hope that you two will be able to forgive me. Not right now. But in the future." he said.
He wrapped his arms around my waist and I leaned against him, intertwining our fingers.
A perfect fit.
" I forgive you. I can tell you really care." my mom said with a smile.
I looked at my dad and he didn't look so forgiving.
" Hickeys?" he asked.
I felt my face getting really hot and without turning around I knew he was blushing too.
" We didn't have sex. We were just kissing."
" Yeah. We were,umm, kissing and, uh, we didn't have sex. I swear." he stammered.
My mom laughed but my dad looked serious.
" Better not of had sex. You're not ready." he said, looking at me.
" And I know you aren't a virgin and have had many play buddies but my daughter will not be one of them." he added, directing his attention to Caleb.
" Yes sir. I plan to wait." he said.
I squeezed his hand discreetly. I find it so cute when he is nervous and respectful.
" Alright. Make sure you keep your word." my dad said.
I felt Caleb nod and my my mom smiled.
" So we are about to have an early dinner, would you like to stay?" she asked, getting up.
" Yes ma'am. That sounds nice. I'll let my parents know." he said, pulling out his phone.
My moms face brightened up.
" You should invite them over too! I really want to meet them." she exclaimed.
Without waiting for an answer, my mom walked to the kitchen.
My dad sat there, looking at us but my mom saved us by calling him to help her out.
When he left he let out a huge sigh and I laughed to myself.
" Shut up. That was terrible." he mumbled.
I continued laughing and he called his parents, telling them to come over for dinner. After hanging up he slid his phone back in his pocket and started playing with my hair.
" You know your hair is really beautiful." he said.
" I think it's my best feature."
" No it's not. Your smile is your best feature." he said.
I smiled, not helping it. He laughed.
" Kenya." he said softly.
" Yeah?"
" You're not like the rest of the girls."
My heart skipped a beat.
" Thanks." I said.
He kissed the top of my head and felt his lips were in a smile. I loved it when he smiled while kissing me.
" So about that electrical feeling."
I groaned.
" Drop it." I warned him.
He laughed and I bounced against his chest.
" I'm just teasing you." he said.
I rolled my eyes.
" I said no more teasing. Remember?".
" Teasing you is the most fun though. You get so turned-" my dad walked in and he abruptly stopped.
I smiled and silently thanked my dad in my head. I was starting to blush.
" Would you like to set the table?" my dad asked Caleb.
" Sure." he said, sliding me off his lap and kissed my forehead.
I smiled and I watched him walk to the kitchen.
He has such an amazing body. And his butt was so perfect.
Wait, what am I thinking?! Stupid teenage hormones.
I got up and went to my room.
I plopped down on my bed and called Sarah.
" Continue" she said when she picked up.
I laughed and picked up where I left off.
