Unexpected one

Good and the bad

It's been roughly around a month or so since I had breakfast with Caleb. We text a few times a week and see each other at the mall exchanging looks and waves of hello.

I've been working a lot and my body is getting sore. To the point that my bunions kicked in and I can't walk to well. So I've taken some time off work. I've been bed ridden for the last 4 days. Someone chop off my legs.

*ting

I look down at my phone right beside me to see who texted. It's Caleb

"This week I'm having a little get together with a few friends and wanted to know if you could come? It's just a small gathering some board games and movie watching. It's this Saturday coming up." The text read

"I would have loved too but unfortunately I've been bed ridden because of my foot." I say

I'm not lying it's true plus he doesn't need to have me there I'll be awkward and won't know anyone there.

*ring ring ring

My phones buzzing so I answer

"Hello?" I say

"ARE YOU OKAY? What happened? When did it happen?!?!?" Caleb yells through

"Woah woah yes I'm okay my bunions are inflamed and I can't walk so well. Been stuck resting my leg and not able to do anything. So I can't even go to your gathering." I say to clear things up

"Oh thank god. I thought something horrible happened...well yeah that's good just rest up it's okay. Just wanted to ask but it's all good get better and let me know if there's anything I can do!" He says with a lot of energy

"Yeah sorry about that! But yah sure!! Have fun!" I say as I hang up

It's Saturday afternoon and I'm still limping around the house. Bunions are painful and annoying when they flare up. Feels like you'd rather chop off your leg then wait for it to heal.

Today is also when Caleb said he was going to have his little get together. Bet they are having fun.

Today I plan on maybe ordering in some food while I watch some Game Of Thrones because season 6 was really good. I check to see the time and it's 1:00pm today is a day of rest once again until my feet feel better and binge watching GoT. I wonder what to order off UberEats. Maybe some Popeyes?

*knock knock

Probably the mail man. I forget did I order anything? Knowing me maybe.

I open the door and to my surprise it's Caleb.
Yeah you heard right. Caleb was standing outside my door with a Bucket of KFC and a bag of what seems to be goodies and a duffle bag. Just standing there smiling like an idiot as I'm giving him the weirdest stare right now.

What the actual fuckery?!?! Why is he here isn't he having a party today. I'm confuzzled.

"Uhm...what are you doing here? I thought you were gonna have a party or something with your friends?" I say with a still confused look

As he wobbled through the door and into my house he puts the stuff down and ruffles his hair his nice curly brunette hair.

"Well you see you're right! Although I decided to cancel it...I figured I'd see those people eventually and plus you're injured so I wanted to keep you company." He says with a silly grin

And then grabs the bucket of KFC and says " I also brought you a care package. I got food, some snacks movies, ice cream." He says

" so then what's with the duffle bag?" I ask and point

"Okay so don't get mad but I also decided to stay over until you got better." He says with a guilty smile

Is this guy crazy. I mean sweet as hell but crazy as fuck.

" let me get this straight and correct me if I'm wrong. So you cancelled your party you planned before hand just so that you could come over here and take care of me and stay till the jobs done?" I say with such disbelief

"Yes wait...no yeah your right on all counts!" He says proudly

" *deep breath* I'm guessing I have no say?" I ask knowing full well I won't.

He shakes his head with that stupidly cute smile of his. My stomach feels all tingly.

" alright fine but you will sleep on the floor in my room. My bed is for my cripple ass and the living room is off limits as well because my family will want to use the TV and they don't want to have to see or hear someone sleeping there. Deal?" I explain and reach to give him a shake of my hand.

"Deal!!" He answers a little flustered and heads to the kitchen to put the food away.

I limp back to the couch and assume the position to elevate my foot. I guess I won't have to order food after all. Time for some GoT!!

After awhile Caleb joined me in the living room to watch GoT. We shared some snacks and laughs and rage as we saw people die and fight.

"Arya is such a badass now!" Caleb says as he turns to me

" yup but I'm more of a Targaryen myself" I say back

We continue to watch season 7 and eat the snacks and KFC. Caleb brought me food and snacks and is keeping me company. It feels weird that someone would go to all this trouble for me. As we near the end of season 7 Caleb turns the PS4 off from which we were watching from and turns to me and connects his laptop to the TV.

"What's next then?" I ask curiously

" Well I know you can't stand so I figured instead of going out to do this I could bring it to you." He says as he pulls a Mic out of no where.

"NO WAY!!!!Karaoke!!!!!!" Literally squealing with joy

I love karaoke so much. I'm a professional shower singer. He doesn't know this yet but im going to crush him Muahahaha. Karaoke is my domain!

" well let's see what you got my little cripple. We will judge each other's performances honestly and who ever does the best gets to ask a favor!" He says with such pride as he selects his first song.

"Bring it on sweetheart! Don't feel too bad when I win sweety" I reply as I blow a kiss

He catches the imaginary kiss and slips it in his pocket as if he's saving for later.

The first song he chose was Bruno mars "locked out of heaven" he even added some drama worthy performance and exaggerated with extreme emotions. This man was making me laugh hysterically, he's just trying so hard and so chill to be with.

As he was nearing the end of his song "oh yeah yeah yeah yeah a humhumhum oom" he sings and bows

" what did you think?" He asks out of breath and a little sweaty.

Still giggling I say "honestly you were able to captivate your audience and entertain me very well out of 10 I give you a solid 8.5/10 good sir!" He bows and says thank you and hands me the mic.

"It's your turn beautiful." He says winking at me

"What song your grace?" He locks eyes with me

Well sadly for him I don't hold back when I do karaoke.

"I'll be giving you some Adele put on "hello"" I say

And he did as he was told and played the song and sat right beside me.

I've been told by friends and family I have a really nice voice but I never believed anyone. Realistically how can you believe friends and family? They say shit like that to everyone how can you tell if they are telling you the truth. I heard them tell my brother he's got a good voice when he's tone deaf and can't sing on the same key for the life of him.

But this was different it was quiet, no laughing no nose besides my voice and the instrumental in the back ground. I didn't notice until the end but Caleb was just staring at me. Frozen in place and staring with awe.

"What? Haha come on now tell me your verd-"

Before I could finish he launched forward and placed his lips on mine. Hands on my face holding me in place, lips locked on.
