I woke up and then, honestly, I rolled over and went back to sleep! But then I actually woke up to the smell of food. I walked down stairs and into the kitchen to find my mom eating pancakes, that was normal, the not normal part was that she didn't make them. Celina did, she sat down at the table with 2 plates, one with several pancakes stacked up and the second one with 3 pancakes covered in fruit, Nutella, whipped cream, and syrup. She started eating and I took one from the plate of plain pancakes and took a bite, it was delicious!
I ate a few more pancakes and was joined by the rest of the family. After devouring the stack Celina and Lexi went into the bathroom for... like 3 hours!
They finally came out but Celina's hair was.... different.
The normal golden blonde was now bright red for the bottom half, making it look fiery. Gotta admit it looked awesome!
I left the house to film a YouTube video with Ben, Caleb, and Mason.
After filming I dropped Ben and Mason off at their house but Caleb was gunna spend the night at my house. Now typically he'd sleep in the guest room but seeing as we no longer have a guest room he has to sleep on the couch.
Caleb's POV (he's 14 in the story)
After a few hours of video games and food Brent went to bed and I tried to make do on the couch.
Sometime around 11:30 at night a tall figure came into the kitchen wearing drawstring short-shorts and a matching hoodie
I couldn't tell who it was but when she sat down with a bowl of cereal the moonlight caught her for a second and her eyes were as Grey as the moon.
Lexi's eyes are green, Ms. Rivera's eyes are brown, Celina's eyes were blue green.
Who had grey eyes? "Hello?" I whispered. I heard a small scream and a spoon dropped to the floor, the sound of impact echoing through the room. "Brent?" "Caleb" I corrected her "Celina" the voice responded"What are you doing here?"
"Spending the night, you?"
"I live here. What are you doing on the couch"
"Brent does NOT like to share his bed"
"Well you're a guest! go sleep in my room."
"Really?"
"Go"
I walked to the guest room expecting it to be all girly and different but the whole thing was blue and green. The furniture was black and had nearly nothing on it. Other than the walls being a different color, bedsheets being changed, and clothes being in the dresser and closet, the room hadn't changed.
As I laid down I couldn't help but think of how when I didn't know it was Celina and thought it was Lexi's friend or something, I thought she was hot! Thinking of it I realize how it's kinda true that the fact that she's skinny AF but still wears clothes 3 sizes to big is kinda cute. And how her freckles and long lashes make her eyes pop. This is all staying in my head of course, I've seen how Brent reacts to Ben and Lexi. I'm not looking for a broom to the head!
I couldn't sleep as the thought of her beauty clouded my brain. The next morning I woke up and walked down stairs just in time to see Celina's sleeping body roll of the couch and onto the floor, I felt bad for taking her bed last night but that was hilarious! I tried to laugh as quietly as I could once I realized she was still sleeping. I carried her limp body towards the stairs and when I got to the top of the staircase her unconscious body adjusted and wrapped her arms around me... tightly when we got to her room I realized how easy it was to carry her and how light she really was. I tried to put her down but she wouldn't let go! I fell over into the bed and she cuddled me closer, my right arm was stuck under her torso so I reached for the nightstand that I left my phone on last night. I called Lexi
Caleb: hey, I need your help, come to Celina's room ASAP
Lexi: Caleb! It's like 6:30 I'm the morning! What are you doing in Celina's room?
Caleb: I'm stuck just come here!She hung up and I was glad I didn't call Brent, he would kill me if he saw this
"Caleb! What is going on in here!???!" Lexi whisper-screamed in the doorway "It's not what it looks like! She slept on the couch and I carried her here and I fell and she started cuddling!" I explained so she didn't get the wrong idea "relax! I know what to do..." She rustled through a few drawers til she found and Essence stick and a lighter. "I learned this a few days ago" she started to burn the stick and held it near Celina's nose, she immediately squirmed away and started to wake up "Ughhh! Cinnamon!!!!!" Lexi and I laughed at her reaction to the smell. She held her nose "Lexi, why would you commit such a cruel act while I'm sleeping!?" Lexi shrugged and walked out. She noticed my presence and opened her mouth to talk but I quickly left to get breakfast
