My Letter To The Stars

Black and White

Corinth's Pov

Making my way back inside I noticed that the money to pay Caleb was still crumpled in my hands but with brown stains which was a result of the addition of dirt from the fall.

The doorbell buzzed. Igniting a miniature panic attack for some odd reason. "Who is that?" Alexa questions looking up from her phone. " Is that a bruise on your elbow?" She asked pointing at the bruise that I didn't even observe.

" It's uhh uhh nothing ," I began rambling " I slipped, now stop asking questions." I shouted exasperatedly gaining me confused stares from all three of them.

" I forgot to pay the pizza guy." I spoke out and Alexa's attention is now fully focused on me. She wasn't about to let me live it down. she stood up and took lengthy strides in my direction and plants herself adjacent to the door.

" Is he a perv?" she paused looking down at the money while leaning forward to deepen our gaze.

" Is that why you're so flustered?" She whispered but Kimmy seemed to have heard. Derrick to distracted trying to Platt his beard. I mean he didn't have much but he still tried. Poor boy.

" Let me handle him then. . . "Kimmy said standing up and joining Lex and I.

"Perv to perv it's going to be battle of the pervs." She gained a glare from Derrick who had already stolen the pizza from between my finger tips and started eating like there was no tomorrow. I guess his non-existent beard didn't take that long after all.

" No, let me have him." Alexa said opening the door. Without a second thought I pushed her out of the way gaining a puzzled stare from Caleb. My fingers trembling from the touch.

"Hey!" Alexa whines while rubbing her shoulders that had bumped into my mother's favorite vase causing it to shatter all over the burgundy rug.

"I'm dead, mom got that from grandmom." I frustratedly sighed.

I noticed that Lex was distracted by the guy, who only seemed to be interested in my movements. His hazel eyes were so intense that I almost felt the need to hide to escape it.

I don't think I've ever met him before today, so how does she know him?

Alexa's green eyes lit up and her cheeks turned a bright shade of red. Now twirling her hair to which I then observe scars draped across her wrist.

" Hey uhm, before this gets any weirder than it already is. . ."

Caleb was stopped by kimmy who busted into an unexplainable laughing fit.

" If you think this is weird." Kimmy said. Still laughing like a maniac. Caleb seemed startled, his lips slightly parted as if he was going to say something but at the last interval he decided not to.

"I forgot to pay you." I interjected.

"Here you go, have a nice day." I said as I motioned to slam the door behind him. Alexa throws herself forward and gains a puzzled stare from all of us.

" Not so soon," she then tugged at his work shirt " stay and have some pizza with us."

Up close I noticed how neatly his brown hair was tied up into a bun, but with some curls spiraling down his neck. His jawline was sharp, I almost gravitated to touch it. My body warned me not to.

" I'm sure he has other deliveries to make." I said giving him an intense stare hoping that he would read between the lines.

He seems to had gotten the gist when he nodded lightly. " I would love to stay. . ." He paused giving me a devilish grin but then continues " but I can't. "
