Caleb's POV
''Lauren we're going home! We need to make Collin and Jeffrey some food before they starve.'' Marcus yells from downstairs. We just talked about a lot of things the last two hours. I really love to have her as company. I don't know why because we just met. It just feels so good. I feel like I can talk to her about everything and she would just listen and give advice. She stands up from the bed where we have been sitting. I walk with her downstairs to see her brother glaring at me with eyes that could kill if he wanted to.
''Marcus stop it.'' She says to her brother and he looks at her. She says her goodbyes and walks through the door. I hear the car engine start. I walk back to stairs.
''Caleb can you come here?'' Dad asks me. I walk to the livingroom with him and sit down on the couch.
''What is it dad?'' He just smiles at me.
'' Was it fun?'' I nod.
''You had fun to?'' I ask him.
''Yes but that's not what I wanted to talk about.'' He says to me.
''Why not? I am really intrested. I want to know how such an old men could talk to a younger someone.'' I give him a smirk.
''Well this 'old' men wants to know why you were in such a hurry when you hurt that she was comming over? And what you guys did upstairs.'' He looks serious.
''Well, we just talked about stuff.'' I said to him.
''What kind of 'stuff'?''
''Just about things we like and just random things.''
''Then the other part of the quiestion.''
''I just didn't want anyone to see me in my sleep clothes. That's all.''
''Normally you would wear them all day and you wouldn't mind wearing them to the store. So I think your answer should be 'I didn't want her to see me in my sleep clothes. That's all.' Don't you think?'' He begins to laugh. I walk away back to my room while my dad laughs harder. Is it that Obvious that I like her? Maybe noticed it to? Maybe she thinks it's weird. Maybe I'm just weird. But I can't stop thinking about her. I already miss her not sitting on my bed with a big smile. Men get it together you just met her. I begin to laugh.
I looked at the time. 18:00. Wow we talked since 12:00. The time went by really fast. I hear my door open and my mom walks in. She smiles at me and comes sit next to me.
''So.'' She says.
''How was work?'' I ask her.
''It's was good. How was talking to Lauren?'' She smiles. I can't help but smile when I hear her name.
''It was good.'' I answer her.
''Just good or great?'' She raises hair eyebrows.
''Great. Mom it's weird I just met her.'' I could Always talk about these things with my mom. She wouldn't make fun of it.
''Oh Honey sometimes you just know. But if you have the feeling she isn't on the same path as you in this mather you need to take a step back.'' I nod. ''So no funny bussines!'' I know what she means with 'funny' bussines and I think it's funny when she says that instead of just saying the words. I had a girlfriend before so I had THE talk before. My mom kisses my on the head and leaves my room. Dad is already making diner. I also go downstairs to see if I can help.
I love cooking and especially with my dad. My parents are really great. I'm so lucky to have then.
Marcus's POV
"So what did you guys do?" I looked at her.
"We just talked. What did you guys do?" She answers.
"We just talked." I say repeating her answer. She looks at me with pinched eyes and I just laughed.
''Do you like the guy?''
''He's a great company but we just met. He's nice to talk to.'' She looks shy at me.
''You know normally I wouldn't allow such a thing because you're way to young. But I like the family. I think he's a good kid. Ethan and I talked a lot about Caleb. But if he does anything without your promision we'll kill him. Well that would harder since his dad is a cop but we will kill him.''
''Marcus we just met. I like to talk to him and that it. Maybe later but I want to get to know him first. But thanks that I can atleast talk to him.'' She gives me a kiss on the cheek and sits back down in her seat. I don't exactly know why I gave permission. She didn't even ask for it because she doesn't think of him in that way. Oh Lord, please don't let Collin and Jeffrey kill me because we didn't consult. And let Caleb be a good one.
Lauren's POV
I look at the time on my phone. It's 00:00. I can't sleep. I keep thinking of Caleb. His beautiful smile and his grey eyes. His eyes lighten up when he talks about his family and books. His face just poppes up in my head everytime I close my eyes. I want to see him again but we just met and he probably doesn't feel the same.
I turn around to quick and I feel like throwing up. I run out of bed to my bathroom and throw up the toilet, again. I hate throwing up. Not only because it's just nasty but also because I always feel like I have no energie. It's like throwing out all of my energie.
I am washing my face when Collin opens the door.
''Hey, are you okay?'' He asks me.
''Yes sorry did I wake you?''
''No I was still awake. You feeling good now?'' I nod and I lay down in bed he gives me a kiss and walks out of my room. I get comfortable and fall asleep.
Heather's POV
''He really does like her.''
''Yes I can see that. I like her brother.'' He says while wrapping his arm around me. We're sitting on the couch in the livingroom. No T.V, we are just sitting there enjoying the silence and each others company.
''You like her brother? Honey do you need to tell me something? Are you gay. I always tought you were and now I know.'' I begin to laugh.
''Yes I am really gay.'' He gives me a kiss on top of my head.
'' What did you guys talk about?''
''We just talked about the kids. He's really protective over his sister so I think he just wanted to know things about him. And I ofcourse wanted to know things about her so I don't need to look in policesystem.''
''You're not going to look into them. They seem great. Only I'm still wondering about their parents. Lauren just talked about her brothers.''
''Their mom died five years ago in a car crash. That's why she was on the street last night. She was upset and wanted to talk to her mom but she got lost. And the ring she lost was her mothers.'' Ethan says.
''Did she find the ring?''
''Yes it was in the bathroom.'' I nod. I'm glade she found it.
''What about their dad?''
''Marcus didn't talk much about him. He said that is was away a lot. So they basicly live with the four of them.''
''It's sad. '' I think it's horrible to live like that. So young and they don't have their mom or their dad. I hope that she will be here some time soon. She is just really sweet and what I hear of Ethan is that Marcus is also really great. I think I'm going to invite them to a barbecue soon. If this summer will bring us nice weather.
