I didn't want to love you but... || Fillie

Chapter 24

"Caleb I'll be ready soon, so do you wanna start to explain?"
"sure! Okay so I'll summarize all"
"Okay okay" he shouts from the bathroom
"I need to do shopping because... I have to be ready for a date"
he says this really fast and whispering the last words
"what?" Finn comes in the little salon
"Yeah I know, now you wanna kno-"
"wait wait, I didn't really understand you"
Finn laughs and places in front of him that is laying on the sofa
"oh" he smiles
"well I said... I have to be ready for..." he hesitates
"for?" Finn tries to make this easier
"um... Yeah I-I have a date!" he says quickly
"oh" he says first, then
"oh!" he exclaims, because he has just realized what he said
"Yeah" he says brushing his nape
"with?" Finn asks with curiosity
"eh?"
"you have a date! The person is...?"
"oh yeah, yeah the person, right!"
he tries not look at his friend in front of him
"Yeah, so?" Finn laughs again
"well she is closer than you think"
"Okay. She is Sadie, right?" he smiles to him.

It's really funny to see him like this;

Caleb is a good person who cares about everyone, when he is friend with someone, he is a true friend because the friendships mean a lot for him.

"maybe?"
"oh c'mon tell it and stop" Finn chuckles
"Yeah yeah, okay? It's her" he says with a big smile and stands up
"I've talked with her"
"oh thank goodness you heard me"
"Yeah, thanks!"
he hugs him and Finn as answer pats on his back
"So? That guy? I remember you were worried that she was talking with someone" Finn asks while goes to the kitchen to full a glass with water
"Well it's funny, like she said she was tired to wait and this guy suddenly arrives and talks with her; some cute words, a good guy, but she missed something, something that she couldn't explain then I decided to talk with her... And yeah, it's so!"
"what did I say to you that night?" he smiles
"Yeah I know I know, I'm so grateful to have you, love you bro!" and he pats his shoulder
"Nothing Caleb" he laughs
"here" Finn gives him a glass
"I think I need it, thanks" he drinks
"no problem" he drinks too
Finn finishes first
"so from this morning you need...? Clothes, gifts?"
"both! I wanna give her something special and I would like to be decent" he says while sits again on the sofa and Finn does the same
"She likes you as you are!"
"Yeah, it can be so but this doesn't matter, so are you ready?" he says with a big smile
"yes, I am"
"oh Finn and... You're still here so with Millie still nothing?"
Finn would talk with him about this, he really would do, but they decided that for now this has to be a secret... If he doesn't talk, this won't be so bad, right? Just... Just for some days they'll lie
"I've never said about meeting her"
he doesn't even look in his eyes, he bows his head to tie his laces
"Yeah but I thought you'd take advantage being here"
he looks at him, but not meeting his eyes
"I wanna still wait" he finally raises his head and gives him a smile
"Are you sure you wanna still wait?" Caleb asks, rising his eyebrows
"yes, now do you still wanna go out?" he tries to divert the conversation, not looking at him, walking here and there, but his movements are too fast... Finn is a good actor but not so good to lie to his friends
"Hey Finn" Caleb calls him, because there is something weird
"Yeah...?" Finn stops his feet and curses himself to be so obvious
"Is everything okay?" he asks with a furrowed brow
"Yeah!" he exclaims, maybe too much
"Um... I doubt it, Finn" he still looks at him with that gaze
"We have to go! C'mon c'mon!"
he cries already close to the door
"Why are you still there? Don't you come?" Finn smiles more relaxed, because he thinks he acted good
"Yeah, I'm coming..." he starts walking towards him
"but you look weird" he reaches Finn
"I'm not Caleb, but it's late! Let's go"
Finn exhorts the friend to follow him and exit from that place
"What will we do first?" Finn asks
"Well I think we'll go to the mall" Caleb answers
"Um okay, what mall?" Finn asks laughing
"I've searched something on internet"
"and?"
"We're going to Lenox Square!" Caleb exclaims, looking at his friend
"Well I'll follow you" Finn smiles.
They start walking, an enjoyable walk full of laughs, stories, talking about experiences.
