Chapter 15

“Here is what you do Cali. Screw them both and whichever one makes you scream louder you stay with.” Ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cackle, Cackle, Cackle. I moved the phone from my ear. Baileeeeeeeeeeeey Stop! Your cackling laugh is killing my ear drums. And that was sooo not funny. I couldn’t help but laugh at my crazy ass friend.

Anyway, wasn’t that sweet? His gift for me? “Yes it was, and who would have thought that Caleb Benzy has jealous tendencies. That is a first! I would say you have this guy by the balls.” I do not! I just think nobody has ever bruised his ego like I have.

“Keep telling yourself that Cali, but in all seriousness if you do not make a decision soon he may move on.” Is it bad that I might want to have my cake and eat it too? “Ha, Ha Cali, you’re getting just as bad as a guy. Playing the field are we?” I sighed, I can’t help that I have feelings for both of them.

“I think you are just flattered by the attention that they are both giving you. I am not saying there is anything wrong with that, but before you know it the haze will go away and you will be left with your true feelings for just one.” I thought about that for a second. Bailey is right as always. I was enjoying being liked by both of them, but one of them will eventually conquer all of me, not half of me. Well on that note I am going to run. Jensen asked me on another date for tonight. “OK babe, have fun, talk to you laterssss.” Click.

Before I left earlier, after our kiss, Jensen asked me out. “Something casual,” he had stated. I suggested ordering in and watching a movie. It doesn’t get any more casual than that. I took a quick shower putting on some black leggings that came up mid-calf with a tight coral colored tank top. I went bare foot; it was after all my house.

I threw my hair in a pony tail and did my make up very lightly. I tidied up the living room area and popped open a beer. My parents would kill me if they knew how much I was drinking this summer. What the hell, we were teenagers that were left alone for the whole summer, what were they thinking. Ha,ha!

Ding-Dong! Come in, I yelled. It’s open. In walked Jensen wearing khaki shorts with a white linen button down Tommy Bahama style shirt with brown flip flops. I had to hand it to him; he was rocking the casual look in the sexiest of ways. His 5’o clock shadow was slightly shaved so that it wasn’t scraggly and his buzzed dark hair made his blue eyes stand out.

I made my way to him and gave him a hug. “Hi beautiful,” he said, as he hugged me back. I started without you I said, and showed him my beer. Do you want one? “Sure babe!”  Hmm…. babe, beautiful? Jensen was feeling awfully comfortable with me. It made me blush a little. It was cute.

I got him a beer and handed it to him. I am just going to order us some “pizza. Is pepperoni ok? “I am easy Cali, whatever you want.” I smiled at Jensen and grabbed my cell and put in the order. Jensen made himself at home on the couch and I plopped myself down next to him.

“Sooo,” Jensen started to say with a smile, but blushing at the same time. Jensen, are you blushing? “I am not,” he said laughing, but blushing even more. Yes you are I said reaching over to tickle him. It back fired because he started tickling me back. We were both laughing hysterically and somehow I managed to be somewhat sitting on top of him. Why were you blushing? “Oh God Cali, you aren’t going to let it go are you?” Nope, I said, kissing his cheek.

“I just think you are adorable. That’s all.” Your cute too Jensen. With no hesitation at all he swooped in and started kissing me. It was a nice, safe kiss. I couldn’t help but think that if  I was sitting on Caleb’s lap instead, kissing him as Jensen and I were doing, that I would be feeling Caleb’s hardness grinding into me. There was no hard arousal poking at me from Jensen. I sighed in disappointment as I pulled away.

“Is something wrong Cali?” Shit! I had not meant for my sigh to come out loud. I had to think fast. ....This was the 2nd time he had asked me that today after we had kissed. Stupid me thinking about Caleb again.  Oh nothing I said, covering it up by kissing him this time.

I pulled away from the kiss again and got off his lap nonchalantly. What do you want to watch Jensen? I had a slight case of de ja vu as I remembered I was doing this very thing with Ivan; drinking a beer and trying to watch a movie until we got rudely interrupted by Skylar and Caleb.

We watched the “Italian Job” and ate our pizza in peace. When the movie ended Jensen looked at me and said, "So there is something I want to ask you."  Uh-Oh I thought to myself. What is it Jensen? Are you seeing other people?

Whaaaaaaaaaaat I almost screamed out loud? How do I answer that? Well, uh, Caleb sneaks into my room and makes me participate in mind blowing make-out sessions. Did he know that something was going on with Caleb and I? Or was I just being paranoid? But, all in all, what was I thinking…NOTHING is going on with Caleb and I. He and I were just a secret; hardly anything close to a relationship.

NO, I said with utmost authority in my voice. A smile crept on to Jensen’s face. “That’s a great answer Cali.” I couldn’t help but feel a little guilty, and at that moment I realized that I had made a decision. I chose Jensen. The gentleman, Mr. Safe.
