Callie POV
It was starting to get dark outside, Rita and the girls were about to leave. Most of my things were unpacked but the place still looked really empty. I didn't really have hardly any furniture yet, just the necessity's. I checked my cellphone again, I was checking for a message from Brandon. we hadn't been able to have much contact lately but he knew today was when I got out of the group home.
Rita- okay Callie, we have to go now
Callie- okay, thanks for your help.. I really appreciate it
Rita- your welcome, good luck
Callie- thanks
Rita and the girls left and sat down on the floor, checking my phone once again. I called Brandon but was disappointed when he didn't pick up, I left a message.
Callie- hey Brandon.. its me, I just.. I wasn't sure if you remembered today was.. I know your probably busy but.. you know what just call me back if you get this message, bye
I hung up the phone and tossed it aside, then tried to unpack some more boxes. My mind kept drifting though, why wasn't he here? did he forget?
Brandon POV
I headed into the apartment complex, it was getting late. I knew Callie was probably wondering what happened, I kept trying to get out of the house but I didn't really want anyone to be suspicious of where I was going so I couldn't act to anxious. I got to the door and knocked, I waited a few seconds and then knocked again. This time she answered.
Callie- hey
Callie smiled and hugged me.
Brandon- hey
We separated fro the hug and just stood there looking at each other for a moment.
Callie- come in
Brandon- um.. I was planning on being here earlier but my mom..
Callie- its fine
Brandon- so you got a lot unpacked already
Callie- yeah Rita and the other girls came by to help so..
Brandon- that's good
We sat down on the floor.
Brandon- so.. do you like the apartment so far
Callie- I like it, I like that we can spend more time together now
We both smiled.
Brandon- yeah, and I can kiss you without worrying about someone catching us
I leaned and kissed her.
Brandon- when can we tell people you know.. about us
Callie backed away and shifted uncomfortably.
Callie- lets just wait a while longer okay?
Brandon- why?
Callie- I just.. would rather wait till I'm more settled in before we start telling people
Brandon- oh.. okay, its just..
Callie- what?
Brandon- well I'm just sick of lying to everyone, lying to my family..
Callie- I know, I know just.. give me a little more time
Callie touched my face.
Brandon- okay
Callie- thank you
