Chapter six : Try a little Flirt

I was in the kitchen with Vanessa picking up forks and knives for our coming dinner, she was talking about some new clothes she has bought from a store next to her office , but i wasn't listenning, all i was thinking about was : what Caleb and Esteban were talking about ? i should say it made me more than curious i would say suspicious knowing my brother's craziness, however i decided to cut their conversation straight when i gathered all the kitchen ustensils and headed to the living room.

On my way there i heard some words from what they were saying and it surprised me to hear the words : wedding !! What the hell ? why was my brother talking to my new friend about his wedding ? But i decided not to give it that much attention and sat next to Esteban, he looked at me and frankly speaking i felt warmth in my chest, his smile was making me feel blessed...girl you are definitely getting creepier within each day !!

"so, what did you order for dinner Cal ?" i asked my brother trying to get them off topic,

"wait and you'll see" Caleb answered strangely,

"But i need to know , if i'll like it or not", when i saw he wouldn't say anything , i added , " Please Caleb, just give me a hint ", he quickly retorted with a smirk : "Mel, we both know you like every kind of food " Evil, that guy was pure evil !!!!

I was about to add something when the Bell rang , it was probably the delivery man , so i picked Caleb's wallet and headed to the door. 

The first thought i had then was, shit, he's hot !!, but i wiped it away , when he gave me the bill, i paid him and took the bags , said goodbye , but he made me stop and started blurting out :

"My name's Laken, i'm sorry it's probably really very weird but i had to try and talk to you",

I kept silent for few seconds surprised by what i had just heard, and then i smiled, he seemed nervous actually and that made him even cuter than before, " it's okay, my name's Amelia "

I have to say the guy way clearly what you would call an angel , he had blond hair longer than most guys, with deep blue eyes and a colgate smile, clearly the opposite of Esteban whom had black hair and sun taned skin and hazel eyes, and here i am , comparing him to another guy, first Ian somerhalder and now Laken...

While handing me a small piece of paper , Laken said shyly " anyway, here's my number , you can call me sometime if you would like to, we could hang out " , 

" Yeah sure , why not " , and to my greatest luck, Caleb came next to me , asking me what took me so long, i hurried to hide the paper where Laken had written his phone number, and wished him goodnight, then returned to the living room ans sat next to Esteban with Caleb and Vanessa in front of us, and guess what ? it was Tex-Mex, i loved it so much, but because of greatest luck again , Caleb asked me at the end of the dinner, frowning : " Why did that guy give you his phone number ?" , what a luck !!!

" No , it actually was the restaurant's second phone number , he gave it to me in case we needed something, he was just trying to be nice " , I lied ,he looked at me for a while as if he was trying to see if i was being sincere , then he turned away and started speaking with Vanessa, they both looked so cute so in sync , never fighting , well never in front of me they were always staring at each other so lovingly as if the world didn't exist anymore , around them , it was just them, and that's all, i was really happy for him, god knows he deserves it , i'd love to have this kind of relationship with someone but i thought i clearly had to be the luckiest girl alive , which i wasn't obviously, at first , when they both got engaged, i had been skeptical but over the weeks and months , i got convinced about how deep their love was , i hadn't had faith at first in their relationship because of our own parents , well i have to say they weren't actually the perfect type of loving parents. My dad had died few months before i was born, so i never saw him and my mom had just crashed down after my birth , we needed money, most of the time, we hadn't had anything to eat , and she was dumb enough to start dealing with drugs , even after we gathered all the money we needed until my brother and i  graduated, she still dealed, she actually started liking it , and climbed up the grades within the drug dealers hierarchy until she became one of the most powerful drug lords of Chicago, and one day when i was seven years old, she just got caught, which resulted to Caleb and i going to live with our aunt whom hated us but still was good in her role, until Caleb turned eighteen years old and we moved to another house , finally getting out of that living hell, that is why i was happy for him, he deserved it all, and i won't ever thank him enough for never giving up on me when we were on our own.

I was in deep thoughts when i felt someone shaking me, it was Esteban trying to get my attention when i turned my head to look at him , he said : "Sorry i gotta go, i'm kind of late "

I nodded and we excused ourselves to leave , when we arrived at the frontyard, he suddenly said "Why did that guy give you his phone number ?", man i thought we already closed this subject.

"it's nothing, he was just trying to be nice and make new friends , that's all"

He kept staring at me , and i swore i saw something glisten within his eyes , as if he was jealous ? HAHAHA, funny Amelia, why whould he be jealous anyway ?

" So , i guess we will have to meet tomorrow in order to prepare our project and ask about advices from the teacher" it was more a statement that a question , but he nodded and opened the car's door " Goodnight Amelia ", He said in a husky voice

"Goodnight " I replied .

Who would have said i'd be one day in this kind of situation, i was clearly attracted to the guy , and thinking that few weeks ago he was in Buenos Aires and now he is leaving just across the street, Yeah life was definitely a bow of chocolates as they say, you will never know what could be the next taste ...and i sure as hell received all the surprises in the box , so i'm waiting for the next taste to be as entertaining as the others before.....
