A Match Like No Other (Chase Davenport Love Story)

Chapter 26

I was at my locker near Perry's office, putting some books away when my phone rang, I put all my books away and pulled my phone out, seeing Tasha's caller ID on screen

I answered, "Tasha? What's up?"

"Scarlett? Honey, do you think you can do me a favor? I'd do it myself but I'm really busy at the moment," Tasha spoke

"Yeah, sure! What's the problem?" I wondered

"Leo's sick, and I'd come get himself but it'd be much easier for you to do it for me," Tasha spoke

"Since when does—" I began, before hearing a giant sneeze from Perry's office

"Dooley! Your snot-rocket just got all over my papers!" Perry yelled

"You think I wanted to do that?" Leo called back, a cough escaping his throat

"Never mind. I can take him home, can you call me out?" I spoke, grabbing my homework I knew I had from my locker, holding the phone with my shoulder

"Of course! Thank you so much, Scarlett!" She spoke

"Hey, a chance to get out of school is something I'll always take," I chuckled, "I'll make him some soup and get some medicine after I drop him off at home. And I'll see you once you get home."

"Thank you again, I honestly don't know what I'd do without you! I'll see you at home, love you!" Tasha spoke

"Love you to, Tasha! See you in a bit!" I smiled, holding my books in one hand and hanging up the phone, placing it in my pocket as Chase walked over

"Hey? Who was on the phone with you?" He wondered, leaning against the locker next to mine, I smiled and shut my locker

"Tasha. Leo's sick and I gotta take him home, so it looks like your walking home today," I spoke, Chase groaned

"You're really gonna make me walk home with Adam and Bree? Last time Adam tried to ride me like a horse," Chase spoke

"Sorry, maybe I'll be able to get you if Tasha comes home early. You just might have to wait," I spoke

"I'd wait for you all day."

"You hate Adam and Bree that much huh?"

"I was trying to be cute!"

I chuckled, "You're adorable, Chase. I'll see you after school okay? It's movie night."

"Wouldn't miss it for the world," Chase smiled, giving me a kiss, I smiled into it as we broke apart

"See you later?"

"Always."

A loud sneeze made us both jump, "And that's Leo, that's my cue."

"That was Leo? He must have at least lost five pounds in that sneeze!" Chase gasped

"Or half his body weight."

"Now that's now very mathematical."

"And neither was yours."

"Fair point."

Once I took Leo home I got some medicine and more ingredients to make soup, so right now I was in the kitchen making soup on the stove

As I was quietly chopping up some vegetables, I heard Davenport suddenly speak

"Leo? What are you doing here?" Davenport asked, frowning, I quickly put the diced vegetables in the boiling pot of chicken broth

"I live here, remember? I'm the one you didn't cobble together in your basement," Leo sassed, "and how come you didn't ask Scarlett that question?"
