Are We Normal Yet?

~Chapter 20~

*Caleb's pov*

*Much later*

Caleb: I can't believe we followed her on a freaking date.

I'm sat at my desk, sipping at the coffee that I've just made. Finn is sat on the sofa, watching me.

Finn: I know.. Coffee at this time?

Caleb: I'm planning on staying up a while.

Finn: Snooping?

Caleb: As much as I can. Now that I know she's near Emma's street, I have to do as much as I can to help.

Finn: Well, don't stay up too late.

Caleb: Yes mother.

Finn: (grins) I just don't like a cranky Caleb that hasn't slept enough.

Caleb: (grins back) I'll only be up for a few hours maximum.

Finn: Well okay.

Caleb: Finn, I need to ask you something.

Finn: What's that?

Caleb: Same question as earlier.

Finn: What question?

Now, is he playing dumb or has he actually forgotten?

Caleb: (raises an eyebrow) I think you know what question, Finn.

He thinks for a few moments, then his cheeks go red. Bingo.

Finn: I said I'd rather not talk about it.

Caleb: Yeah, not to talk about in that place. Well, it's only you and I now, so...?

Finn: I dunno why it matters.

Caleb: I'm your roommate, it'd be nice to know about your love life. You know about mine.

Finn: Yeah and I have to put up with hearing you and Darcy going at it whenever she stays over.

Caleb: (laughs) Put your music on then.

Finn: I DO. It doesn't drown it all out.

Caleb: Oh dear. (grins) But we're going off track here, I'm on about you. Not Darcy or myself.

Finn: Well, I dunno what it is you exactly want to know.

Caleb: (sighs) Do you love her?

He looks away.

Finn: It doesn't matter.

Caleb: Personally, I think you do. Your actions speaks for it all.  For example, you're quite protective of her, you were ready to get out your car and thump Will.

Finn: Hayden wants to twat him one too.

Caleb: Yeah, but Hayden didn't make a move to get out the car, did he?

Finn stays silent.

Caleb: And, I've seen the way you look at her.

Finn: You're obviously reading too much into things.

Caleb: Naw I don't think so. I've seen the way you look at her. It's the same way that Darcy looks at me and the same way my dad looks at my mum. Not to mention how highly you speak about her to me.

Finn: (sighs) You're not gonna let this go, are you?

Caleb: (shakes head and grins) Nope.
