Unexpected Love

Chapter 25

I opened my eyes and saw that it was four in the afternoon. I groaned but didn't get out of bed.
I have two more days until I can see Caleb.
I smiled at the thought. I've talked to him over the phone, thanks to Steve. After a week they left and decided to just drop by at night so I could talk to him and have company for a little while.
My dad and I still weren't talking and my mom was the only person that kept me sane. She's been supporting dad on this but only because she didn't feel like fighting him.
My stomach growled and I reluctantly got up and brushed my teeth, ran my fingers through my hair and shrugged. I walked downstairs and ignored my dad and made a bowl of cereal.
I went into the living room and ate my cereal in silence.
I miss Caleb so much. I wonder if he's misses me. I mean he could have been with another girl, kissing and holding her since I can't.
I groaned and finished my cereal, setting it on the coffee table and wrapped a thick blanket around my body. I turned on the tv and flicked through the channels, landing on some channel with a guy walking through the wilderness. I think it's called Survivor or something like that.
I felt my dad sit down next to me but I continued watching the show.
" Still mad at me?" he asked.
I ignored him.
" Look. Two more days. Then you are free. Do what you want. But can you please talk to me?"
" What is there to talk about?" I asked quietly, not looking at him.
I could tell he was shocked I actually spoke to him.
" Forgive me? I'm doing it cause I love you." he said, pulling me against him.
" Yeah." I mumbled.
He rubbed my shoulders and I couldn't help but to let a small smile creep onto my face.
" There's my angel." he laughed.
I rolled my eyes.
" Dad." I said.
" Yeah."
" I do love Caleb." I said.
He sighed.
" I know."
" Do you hate him?"
" No."
" So if he proposed to me and I said yes you would give him your blessings and be ok with it?" I asked.
" You two are engaged?!" he exclaimed.
I laughed and looked up at him.
" No dad. But I'm talking about the future. Like of that was to happen." I said with a smile.
He placed a hand over his heart and laughed.
" Almost have your old man a heart attack. But yes. I'd be fine with it. I mean I'm not saying to off and get married right now. I'm not ready to see my baby girl go off. But Caleb loves you and you love him. I'm fine with that. He's made mistakes but who hasn't." he said.
I smiled up at him then rested my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes.
" You're the best dad ever" I whispered.
He squeezed my shoulder.
" And you're the best daughter." he said softly, kissing my forehead gently.
I fell asleep with my dad arm wrapped around my shoulders, me leaning against him.

" Wakey Wakey!" I heard somebody yell in both of my ears.
I jumped up and saw Sarah and Steve laughing while tears streamed down theirs faces.
" Assholes. What was that for?!" I yelled at them.
I stretched and realized I was in my bed. My dad must have carried me.
" You're expression- oh you- your eyes-" Steve tried to get a sentence out but couldn't finish any of them between his laughter.
I threw a pillow at both of them and frowned.
" Not funny." I mumbled at to them crossing my arms across my chest.
Sarah sat beside me and pushed me softly, trying to hold her laughter.
" You should have seen your face though." she said and bursted out laughing again.
" I'm taking a shower. Hopefully you'll both be done laughing at me when I'm done." I huffed and got up, grabbing a pair of white shorts and a yellow tee, then stomped into my bathroom.
I closed the door and locked it and looked at myself in the mirror. Tomorrow I will finally be eighteen. Finally! I smiled and took off my clothes and got in the shower.
I finally get to see Caleb. I've missed him so much. His touch. His smell. His smile. His laugh. His voice.
Ugh. He's just to perfect.
I washed my hair and got out of the shower twenty minutes later. I dried myself with my towel and got dressed then ran a comb through my wet hair.
I looked at how my hair was extra wavy and long. Maybe I should cut it. Go for a new look. I grabbed my hair and held it so it looked like my hair was shorter.
I actually really liked it. I smiled and opened my bathroom door.
" Really you guys?! Really?!" I exclaimed at Sarah and Steve.
They were lying on my bed, well Sarah on the bed and Steve on top of her. He was shirtless and thankfully she still had her clothes on. His shirt was thrown on a chair carelessly. They stopped making out and looked at me.
" Yes?" Steve asked with a grin.
His hair was all messed up from Sarah playing with it.
" Do not make out on my bed. That's where I sleep." I sighed and put my dirty clothes in my hamper.
Steve pecked her a couple more times with kisses then rolled over so he was lying next to her.
He pulled her close and kissed her one last time. I envied them for not having to be separated.
" You want some love too, sugar?" he asked with a smirk.
I rolled my eyes and laughed.
" Don't make out on bed." I said again.
" And what if I do it again?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.
" Well you will have to make me another sandwich." I said and plopped down in my chair after throwing his shirt at him.
Sarah kissed his chest and gave him her signature smile. He slipped on his shirt.
" Another sandw- oh I get it. Alright coming right up." he said.
" Turkey, lettuce, tomato, and mustard." I said.
He laughed.
" You'll be lucky if you get two slices of meat and bread."
He walked out and heard him walk downstairs.
" Alright. Details on the sex night." I whispered with a grin.
She blushed and laughed.
" Which one?"
I laughed this time.
" The first time." I said.
" Well we were at his house. His parents weren't home and we were watching movies in his living room. Then next thing I knew we were naked and making love on his couch, floor, coffee table, chair,-" I cut her off and laughed.
" Wow. That's a lot of places. But what was it like? Like how did it feel to have sex with the guy you love?And don't deny it." I said.
She sighed and closed her eyes, smiling to herself.
" Amazing. Magical. And let me tell you. Very pleasing." she said, looking back at me.
I laughed and she did too.
" So you and Caleb still haven't gotten dirty yet?" she asked.
I shook my head sadly.
" No. But I'm starting to feel as if he doesn't want to. I mean if he can screw with other girls why not me?" I said.
" He wants the moment to be perfect." she sad with a shrug.
Steve walked in and handed me my plate with my requested sandwich.
" Nice job waiter. I'm impressed. But where is my drink?" I asked taking a bite.
He tossed me a water bottle.
" Because I knew you would ask." he said with a smile.
I caught it and put it on the side table.
" So y'all spending the night?" I asked.
" Nah. I just came so you can call Caleb." Steve said and tossed me his phone.
" Geez. No love for me just because?" I pretended to be hurt and they laughed.
I called Caleb and took another bite.
" Hello?" I heard Caleb say in that husky voice of his.
" Hey." I said with my mouth full.
He laughed.
" How are you?" he asked.
I chewed my food then swallowed.
" Fine. Me and my dad started talking again today." I said.
" That's good. What did you two talk about?" he asked.
He sounded busy and I heard a woman's voice in the background.
" About you and me." I said, then blushed when I saw Steve roll his eyes.
Steve and Sarah were cuddling again and he was whispering things into her ears. They are so in love.
" Explain?" he asked.
" Remember what we talked about? Like when you said you loved me." I said.
I didn't want Sarah and Steve to know about this even though I doubt they were listening to me.
" Yeah."
I heard the lady's voice again but couldn't make out what she was saying.
" Well he said he'd be fine with it. With us, well you know." I said.
" Really. That's great! So are you saying you want to?" he asked.
" Not now." I said and smiled.
The lady spoke again and he responded to her.
" Who's that?" I asked.
" Oh nobody." he said.
" So I'm hearing things?" I asked.
He said something to the lady.
" Sorry. What did you say?" he asked.
I sighed.
" You sound busy. I'll see you later." I said.
" Ok. Goodnight." he said.
" Night."
Before I hung up I heard them both laughing at some joke Caleb had said.
I tossed the phone back to Steve.
" Thanks." I said with a smile.
" No problem. Well we are going to go. If I don't talk to or see you tomorrow, happy birthday. Make sure you turn up!" he said with a grin and got up, helping Sarah up too.
I laughed.
" Thanks and I'll try." I said.
They said bye and Sarah promised she would at least call if she couldn't make it.
