PURSUING HAPPINESS

F_I_F_T_E_E_N

When we reached my place, before I could open the door and step out he lock the door, only to climb out and opened it for me.

"Thank you," I smiled at him, "But that was not necessary."

"Yeah I know," he picked me up the moment I stepped out the car.

"Caleb!" I yelped, "Please put me down."

"Not until we're in the house," he unlock the door with a swift movement and locked it again when we stepped inside. He placed me on my bed after I showed him where my room was, the blanket still beneath me, "Where's your bathroom?"

"Through there," I pointed to the bathroom, curious to what his upto, I could hear water running when he came back into the room.

I stood up to get me some comfy clothes and clean briefs, "You should go back to school."

"Why?.." he asked, "I wanna keep you company," he said with a cheeky smile. "You go and wash up, I'll go get us some snacks and stuff."

With that he left me alone to clean up, I walked to the bathroom, undress myself and climbed into the bathtub. Why is Caleb doing these things? Does he like me? If yes then why?

I never really believed in relationships, the one with Cayden was my first and you can see how that turned out, I only had a fling with Peter, I never really told him how I felt which I'm so happy for and that was it. If Caleb wants me to be his girlfriend, what should I tell no I'm too damaged or I don't believe in love and that last part may be true because recently I saw what love can do to a person.

It isn't actually love, is the person it self, love is an emotion which you can decide to embrace or keep it for yourself, you can express love with your whole heart but it wouldn't mean a thing to the next person if he or she doesn't feel the same. People these days use 'LOVE' as an excuse to get laid or not be lonely while the other person thinks that you really love them but it's only for that reasons and those people get so hurt that at the end of the day they blame love, like me.

There was a soft knock at the door, bring me out of my thoughts, "Rose, you still in here?" Caleb asked through the door.

"Yeah, I'll be right out," how long was I in here, I thought to myself when I climbed out, dried myself and got dressed.

On my bed was chocolates, chips, ice cream with a laptop and Caleb comfortable sitting on one side when I  walked into the room. He patted on the open space from me to come sit.

"What's this?" I asked.

"Growing up with my little sister this is how I cheered her up when she's on her cycle, by watching movies with her and stacking our mouths with junk food," he explained when I sat on the bed.

"She's lucky to have a big brother like you."

"Yeah she is," he looked at me, I swear our eye colour are the same but his eyes held more emotions unlike my dull one's.

"Okay...so what do you have for us to watch?" I asked breaking eye contact with him, I could see out the corner of my eye he was still looking at me, "Caleb?"

"Oh right...-sorry," he turned to the screen, "I don't know if you like comedy because that's all I have." He clicked on dumb and dumber when I nodded.

After watching all the movies of dumb and dumber, almost a whole session of friends and stuffing our mouths with junk food, I felt my eyes slowing shutting as I peacefully rested my head on Caleb chest.

The door couldn't hold him back from his sex toy, after the third attempt to open the door, a loud thud boomed through the room, there he was standing on top of the stairs looking down at me with a smirked that covered his face, "You thought you could lock yourself in here?"
