Can't Get Over You

There's No Way, Right?

Ch. 4

Caleb's POV

(Last night)

Kelly's head was resting on my chest and she was fast asleep. The movie had ended but I didn't want to move for fear of waking her up. "Hey, are you coming?" Alan asked as he grabbed his jacket and keys.

"No, I'll just stay here. I don't want to wake her up," I said staring down at KK.

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

"See ya." Since I was staying here, I decided to get comfortable. I leaned my head back against the couch and closed my eyes.

(The next morning)

KK's POV

I woke up with my head resting on Caleb's chest. I guess he decided to spend the night. He looks so cute when he's sleeping. Wait, what? What am I saying? I must be really tired. Just then, Caleb shifted positions and his head rested against mine. Aw, isn't that sweet. Woah, KK what are you thinking? That's your best friend right there. I cleared my head and tried to go back to sleep but I just couldn't. All I could think about was how comfortable I felt with Caleb's head against mine and his steady heartbeat.

I decided to get up because there was no way I was going back to sleep. Cautiously, I tried moving without waking up Caleb, but as soon as I moved his eyes slowly opened. "Morning," I said with a guilty smile. He just groaned.

"What time is it?" He asked sleepily rubbing his eye.

I glanced over at the clock,"9:25." He groaned again, knowing that he had to get up now.

"So, how'd you sleep?" I asked once he seemed attentive.

"Like a baby, " he said as he got up and stretched.

Yeah, a really handsome baby. Okay ,that was just weird . What is wrong with my brain today? "That's great," I replied. He smiled while he walked over to where I was standing. Placing his arms on the counter he looked into my eyes.  I've never noticed how his eyes' sparkled before. They are actually quite pretty.  "Do you want some coffee? " I whispered as I quickly looked away and moved towards the coffee machine.

"Yeah, sure." He said as he took his arms off the counter. The sparkle seemed to leave his eyes. "Thanks." He took the cup out of my hands, his fingers slightly brushing mine sending a shiver down my spine. We sat there for a while letting the silence grow between us before Caleb finally spoke up,  "Well, um, I better go."

"Oh, okay." Quickly, I glanced at the clock and continued,  "I have to get to work soon so I guess I'll see you later. "

"Okay,  I wouldn't want to make you late for work. " Caleb grabbed his keys off the coffee table and went towards the door. I followed him there and waved goodbye.  He pulled me in for a hug and I slowly wrapped my arms around him. As quickly as it happened, it ended and he yelled,  "See you later! " as he walked down the driveway towards his car.  Closing the door, I let out the breath that I didn't even know I was holding and went upstairs to get ready for work.

"I'm telling you, Meghan, it's the strangest thing. I'm noticing a lot of things about him that I've never noticed before like that sparkle in his eyes. "

I was talking to my friend Meghan ,who I worked with at Publix. She had extremely curly red hair and freckles. Her green eyes always showed what kind of mood she was in. They would sparkle and shine when she was happy and become dull and plain when she was sad, but when she was angry, they burned with a fire that only arose in the most relevant of times. She was as crazy as the guys but, when I needed it most, she could calm herself down and be mature and thoroughly interested in what I had to say.

"Hmm, " Meghan hummed clearly thinking hard about what I was talking about.  "Did you ever feel this way before?"

"Never!  That's why I think there's something wrong with me. I thought about him before because , you know,  he's my best friend and all but now he's constantly on my mind.  How can one day change how much I think about him?" I huffed out a big breath of air clearly frustrated.

"Not to alarm you but it kinda sounds like you like him. " She smirked at me with a knowledgeable look in her eyes. I laughed at her like she had said the craziest thing in the world.

"He's my best friend. There is NO WAY I like him." Shaking my head I just laughed to myself.  "I'm probably just thinking about him so much because I miss the fun we had yesterday." Meghan just shook her head and smiled to herself.

"Whatever helps you sleep at night. " She walked back to the bakery shaking her head.

There is no way on this whole earth that I like Caleb. I mean that would be ridiculous, right?  He's my best friend. Just because I'm noticing some things now, does not mean I like him. It's not weird to notice that he has a certain sparkle in his eyes or how he looks more mature with a little bit of scruff on his face or that the way he smiles is so adorable it makes my heart jump and my brain go crazy...!  Oh no! I've fallen for my best friend!
