The Deal

38: We're back!

Chelsea

I sigh as i fall on Zeke's bed. Zeke laughs as he sits next to me, holding my hand.

" How'd it go with Caleb last night?" Zeke asks. I groan and grab a pillow, putting it on my face.

" He's just sad to see his family go so he was crying then he had a high fever so it made him even more emotional and dramatic," I say lifting the pillow off my face so he could hear me clearly. " I love the kid, I do but he get's worse than me. And that says a lot."

" It really does," Zeke replies causing me to pull my hand away and smack his arm. His laugh fills the room.

" You're so mean," I whine.

" Says you," Zeke says taking the pillow off my face. " You can be so mean."

" Not to you," I say giving him a look.

" You just hit me," Zeke says shaking his head.

" You said something stupid," I reply with a smile.

" You're very lucky I love you," Zeke replies rolling his eyes.

" I know," I say grinning.

My boyfriend laughs and makes me sit up. "Come on, we gotta do homework."

" I thought you were kidding," I whine as he pulls me up, leading me to the couches in his room.

" No I meant it," Zeke says rolling his eyes. " We both have work to catch up on."

" I hate that you're right," I mutter as I sit down. Zeke gives me a look as he hands me my backpack. " Thanks."

" You're the one that's good at math," Zeke says as he takes his homework out. " Help me with this shit."

" Okay but you need to help me with science," I say taking out the same sheet he has out. I already finished it.

" I will but me first," Zeke says pulling me closer. i look at the question he's stuck on.

" What don't you understand?"

" How to do it," Zeke says making a face. " I'm confused."

" Okay," I say grabbing a piece of notebook paper from my notebook. I explain how to start the problem, helping him remember how to do it. He does the problem, getting it right. " There you go."

He smiles over at me. " Does that mean i get a prize?"

I roll my eyes and push him away as i pull out my laptop." Finish it and we'll see."

" You going to start on the short story for English?" Zeke asks as I unlock my laptop.

" Yeah," I say with a sigh. " I have some idea's but we'll see how it turns out." I stare at the background picture of Caleb, Grace and me from last summer.

" You'll do fine," Zeke answers digging around his backpack. He pulls out his calculator. " You always do great stories. God, what aren't you good at?"

" Keeping you focused on your homework apparently," I say rolling my eyes as i pull up the assignment.

" I'm focused!" Zeke protests. " You need to focus."

I make a face at him, he looks up rolling his eyes. He presses his lips on mine for a quick kiss.

" You're annoying," I say pushing him away.

" Only to you," He replies sending me a smile. I roll my eyes and bring my laptop to my lap, opening up a document.

" If only people could see this side of you and not the bad boy one," I say as I title the document. " You'd be chased around for being the best boyfriend."
