I woke up with Caleb still in the bed. I am not used to this because he always waked up early that me. I was about to slip myself out of bed to get ready for my class. Caleb groans and pulled me back beside him. I heard him sniff.

"Skip class?" I heard him say with his bedroom voice. He sniffed again.

"Why?" I asked him meekly.

"Take care of me?" his voice was laced of being needy. I didn't answer him. I was weighing a good lecture and a bad day with him on my head, and good lecture was winning. "Please, you gave me the colds didn't you? You kissed me last night remember?" So the bad day with Caleb wins.

"Okay. I'll prepare something for you to eat."

"Later. I really need a cuddle from you right now. It will make me feel all better."

I turned around to face him. His eyes was still close and his nose had a tint of red. He sniffed again.

I laid my head on his arm and buried my face on his neck. He smelt like strawberries. Maybe it was his body wash. It smell really good. I was very much surprise that I hugged him and pressed my body against him. I felt him smile. It really made my heart melt.

It felt like hours when I felt his hug was untightening. I knew he was asleep again. I carefully slipped out of bed making sure he did not wake up. I went to the kitchen to cook something.

I opened the fridge to see it full. I never open the fridge since I came in here. I could live in here without going outside for maybe a week or two.

I didn't really know how to cook so I browse the net for some recipe for something that have soup in it. I found one with a name I can't even read but it looks delicious on the picture.

I done everything that the recipe said but the finished product is not as good looking as the picture on my tablet. I put the thing I cooked on a bowl and set it on the table. Then Caleb appeared on the kitchen looking freakishly hot with his messy black hair and his half-closed eyes.

He took a sit on the kitchen counter. "What smell so good? What's cooking?" he asked.

"An experiment." I pushed a bowl up to him. He took a spoonful. "I'm sorry, I really don't know how to cook. I just browsed the internet for the recipe of a very good picture."

He winced upon eating it.

"Is it that bad?" I asked him.

"No. it's in fact delicious."

"Come on Caleb, I saw you winced."

"It was hot love."

"You don't have to eat it."

"It really is. Taste it." he extended his hand with a spoonful of what I cooked. I took it and chewed on it. It doesn't taste that good.

"Okay, put the spoon down and don't eat it. I'll order up something good." I said as I walked towards his side. He was still getting the food in his mouth. I got his hand to stop him from eating it. He locked me in his left arm and got the bowl with the other arm indulging the poison I had made.

"See, I finished it up. Are there something more? I really want to gobble it all up." he put the bowl down and wrapped his arms around me. He made me sit in his lap. "It really is tasty."

I shifted my head to face him. "What? I really loved it." He declared.

"Really? I need the truth." I asked him. I needed to hear the truth and why does he want to gulp all of that.

"I really liked it. Truth. It taste weird but I liked it. If it's you who made it I like it."

"Why?" I asked in curiosity. He held my cheek and to my surprise he kissed me.

"Thank you." He said politely.

"Uhm, I'll get you a medicine in the cabinet." I stood up and walked to the bathroom. I got the medicine and headed back into the kitchen. Caleb was in front of the stove still eating my experiment. I ran towards him but he finished it all up.

"I told you to stop eating that." I pouted.

"I told you, I liked it." he smirked.

"Here is your medicine." He popped it on his mouth and drank water. I made him go back to bed for him to rest. Good thing he did not resisted. I called Rachel when he was sleeping, unfortunately her voicemail answered.

'Hey Rachel here. I'm probably doing something boring or something awesome. You can leave a message for me after the beep. Will get in touch with you later. Kisses.' *beep*

"Hey rach, I'm stuck at home taking care of Caleb, he caught my cold so yeah. See you tomorrow."

Caleb slept for hours. I was bored out of my life so what I did was snoop around the study. He had so many books it was like heaven for me. He have Dan Brown's books and John Green's He even had Game of Thrones.

I really liked that series but haven't read any of the books. He had books with authors I haven't heard of. He had his college books on one shelf and tons of notebooks.

I found a 'little mermaid' book on his shelf too. I got it and opened the cover. On the first page of book something was scribbled.

'Happy 9th birthday. I knew it is your favorite book. I wanted to give it to you but I didn't have the chance to. I'm hoping to give this to you someday.'

Oh god. Caleb likes someone. And she had a very awesome taste on Disney princess. The Little Mermaid is awesome. I really liked that story. I put the book back and find something to read. I chose to read 'The Alchemist'. It was a really nice book and I finished it in about an hour.

Caleb was still asleep. I thought of watching a movie but I haven't decided what to watch. What I did was close my eyes and stuck my hand down the paper bag with the DVD's on it. I held into one of the DVD's and put it out of the paper bag. To my horror it was 'The Conjuring'.

I popped it in the player and turn the lights off. I made myself comfortable on the couch. Not long after the movie had started, I saw a shadow move in the halls.

"What are you watching?" a low deep voice said. It made me jump out of the couch and made my heart jump out of my chest.

"Jesus, Caleb."

"Why are you watching this alone if you are scared?"

"Chance. Feeling better?" I sat on the couch again.

"Yes. Care for someone who watch it with you?" he asked.

"Hell I do. Sit!" It was a command. He sat at the other end of the couch. Then a scene that made me scream and jump came up. I stood up the couch and went to Caleb's side.

I practically threw myself on him and buried my face to my LSP stuff toy. I felt his arm wrapped around me and felt secure.

Every time I flinched at every horrifying scene his hug would tighten. It was really nice. We stayed in that position until the movie ended.

"Another movie?" I asked him.

"Sure." He answered me. The next one was 'Miracle in Cell No. 7'.

"Prepare yourself to cry Mr. Waters." I said. He just chuckled. Well halfway through the movie I was crying my eyes out. Caleb gave me some tissue.

"How are you not crying watching this movie?" I blew my nose on a tissue. "Now I conclude that Caleb Waters doesn't have a heart."

He just pulled me into him and hugged me with his other hand while I was crying. I poured my eyes out until the end of the movie. Caleb cried a little. He said that the love of the father for his child made him cried.

I never saw him cry until now. He was very vulnerable in that state. I wonder if it's his first time crying.

We watched movies until dawn. We had watch a comedy and an action movie. It was nice and I am really getting comfortable with him.
