The Life of Calypso

Chapter 36

Meredith's POV

As we all walked upstairs, I couldn't get the image of Arias in his shorts with no shirt out of my head. I had a serious problem.

And that wasn't the only thing I couldn't get out of my head, I kept replaying what happened in the parking lot earlier today.

I walked into my bedroom and snuggled underneath all the layers of blankets as the air conditioner was on the highest it could be on.

I just laid there with headphones in my ear as I stared out my window into the stars in the sky.

All of a sudden I felt a thump on my bed and when I looked up I saw Arias sitting on the edge of my bed.

I quickly sat up and took my headphones out. I got nervous so quickly when I'm around him or when I see his face.

"I was waiting for you to notice." He said as he laughed.

"Sorry, I didn't expect you to come in to the room after making everyone go to bed." I smirked a little.

"I only did that so I can spend more time with you alone." He said now deeply looking into my eyes.

The butterflies were critical.

"Really...? I didn't expect you to actually like me in that way at all."

"Well, I guess I always kind of have. You were always different from everyone else Cal used to hang out with. And you always wanted the best for others." I sat there listening to what he had to say.

"And when Cal told me you were dating that asshole, I guess I realized that I really did like you that whole time."  I couldn't help but blush uncontrollably.

"I've liked you for as long as I could remember, but since you were in London, the whole group sorta pushed me and Carter into this relationship."

He came closer to me on the bed and put that one strand of hair behind my ear.

Then he whispered, " Well you don't have to worry about him anymore." He looked into my eyes again, and it was really hard to control myself, control myself from saying something that could rush us into this perfect world.

Arias POV

As I told her she had nothing to worry about, she but her lip softly and looked down at her wrist. I loved the way she would do that, showing how shy she really is.

"You don't have to worry about what everyone else thinks you know. We can do whatever we want." I said as I held her soft hands.

" I know.."

She looked at me with her hazel eyes gleaming just from the light that came from the hallway.

"Are you sure you want me? I am just a regular girl to be quite honest with way too many problems. I think it would be better for you if you dated some model or something because that's what-" I couldn't help but cut her off from all of her rambling.

I kissed her soft lips, and continued to hold her hands. She was shocked at first when her eyes grew big but soon enough they closed and I realized she relaxed a bit.

"I didn't know you guys were so serious."

Both me and Mere pulled away and looked towards the door.

"What are you doing here?" Meredith was annoyed now.

"I thought I left my phone here," Carter looked around while he stayed into same spot.

"Clearly not. Now leave."

"Wait, I just wanna know how you two are going. In a relationship or what...?"

"What's going on?" Cal came up behind him in her pajamas.
