Long Way From Home [BWWM] [UNDER CRITICAL EDITING]

Chapter 7

Caelum's P.O.V

I had never been talk to that way. My own mother knew better than to tempt my temper like that.

One night Caelum, one measly night. I ran the thought over and over in my head. She would be gone in the morning and I had told her to leave, so why did it hurt.

She was beyond beautiful. She looked to be about 5'8, long, dark brown hair than ran down her back. Beautiful chocolate skin and gorgeous light brown eyes.

Dinner was quiet for the most part. There was short and light conversation between Amber and her family. Amber. She had gotten more.... mature since we last saw each other. I was glad the friendship remained after the relationship failed.

"Caelum? Matt said, shaking my from my own private world.

"Yeah?"

"How are your parents?"

"Okay I guess, I haven't heard from them in a while."

"I thought they left you that big house when they moved to Europe." Amber said, stuffing another spoonful if mash potatoes into her mouth.

"Nope, made it good with some horse racing back in Texas. Then I just started investing instead of racing."

"You gamble?" Amber's friend chimed, she had been mostly quiet and I was surprised she even spoke to me.

"Sometimes." I shrugged. "What's it to you?"

"Are you always this bitter?"

"Nope, only around you."

It hadn't been two seconds since I made the comment and I felt the pressure of her hand against my face as she left the section red. My eyes saw fury and hers did too.

I stood up, and though she was short then me, she stood up too.

"Let's go country boy, give me two seconds to teach you a lesson you'll never forget."

"I promised I wouldn't hit woman, but I might make an exception in your case."

"I promised not to hit animals, but I might make an exception for you."

I saw blind rage in her eyes and knew better than to upset an already pissed woman. I sat down and stared at my plate. I felt the table move and assumed she had given up to.

This is going to be one long night.
