The Deal

19: "Spencer, you fatass!"

Chelsea

" Holy fuck," I groan as I wake up. I adjust and turn on my side.

My arm hurts, probably from the shot. At least I didn't have nightmare during the night.

" Caleb?" I mumble.

" Right here," I hear his voice softly say.

" Did you sleep?" I ask turning to face him. He shakes his head when I do.

" Sleep. I'm fine," I say. 

" I don't know," He starts to protest but I give him a look.

" You need it," I say pulling him to lay down next to me. 

" Fine. Wake me up in a few hours," He says his eyes slipping.

" I will. Love you," I say sitting up.

Caleb yawns. " I love you too. Though you should be saying that to Zeke."

" Shut up," I say running my hand through my hand.

" We'll talk later," Caleb mumbles before he stops talking and falls asleep.

I hear a soft knock on the door so I get up and open it a crack.

" We need to talk," Grace says pulling me out of the room. I whine when I feel the cold air hit my legs. I close the door quietly.

" Is something wrong?" I ask.

" Kinda? It's a boy problem," Grace says. I laugh and nod.

" Let's go to the art room," I say. 

" How come you haven't shown the guys this room yet?" Grace asks as we enter.

" Don't know. They haven't asked," I say sitting down on the floor.

" True. Okay, well you know how me and Spencer have kissed a few times?"

" Yeah. Why?"

" So last night after Caleb stayed in your room, i went to talk to Spencer. We went to talk in the kitchen."

" And?"

" Well we talked about it. We ended up deciding to see how it goes, we are taking it slow, we aren't dating but we kinda have like a- uh. Shit what's the word?"

" A thing?" I suggest. 

" Sure. Use middle school terms," Grace says. I roll my eyes.

" How cute," i say. " Totally ship it."

" Thanks. Now, i went to get you at your room, you seemed conflicted.

" Just something Caleb said," I say waving it off.

" Did you make him sleep?"

" Yeah."

" What did he say?" 

" I told him I loved him and he was like i love you too but you should be saying that to Zeke," I say.

" Awww," Grace says. " Do you love him?"

" It's been three days," I say giving her a look.

" It doesn't take that long. Sometimes it takes a day or a week or a month," Grace says with a shrug.

" I mean I guess. But I don't know," I say.

" Well he does love you," Grace says standing. I stand with her.

" How would you know?"

" The way he looks at you. It's hard to explain. It's just the way you are with each other. I actually missed that Chelsea," Grace says with a grin. I roll my eyes but smile back.
