you said you won't leave

[3 weeks later]

"It's going amazing," I say to Layla. "We are super close. It won't be long before I can get some information."

"Good," she says. "I'm tired of waiting. I just want this man dead."

"Me too," I say. Caleb and I have been dating for three weeks now. It's definitely not easy faking a relationship, but I think I'm doing pretty good. He is such a gentleman which makes it a bit easier. I kinda feel bad that he has feelings for me, but I don't. I'm only playing him to get information on his dad. "I have to go now. I think he's coming back."

I hang up the phone and I put it in my pocket. I sit back on his bed and then the door opens. Caleb walks in with two containers of popcorn.

"Took you long enough," I joke.

He rolls his eyes, "I may not may not have burnt the first bag."

I start laughing and he hands me my container. He sits down next to me and starts to get under the blankets, "How did you manage to do that?" I ask.

"Well the box lied," he says. "I definitely shouldn't have put it in for five minutes."

"Caleb," I start laughing even harder, "Any person would know not to do that shit."

"I'm not the smartest," he says.

"Obviously."

He chuckles and grabs the remote from his nightstand, "What do you want to watch? You can pick anything."

"365 days," I say with no hesitation.

"Do you want shit to happen?" He asks with the biggest smirk on his face, "I may treat you like a queen now, but I won't hold back then."

My face heats up, "Uhm, how about Divergent?"

"That's what I thought," he says.

He scrolls through the movies on his DVR until he finds the movie. He clicks it and we start to watch it while eating our popcorn.

"I've never seen this before," he says.

"How? This is one of my all time favorites."

He shrugs his shoulders and shoves a handful of popcorn in his mouth, "Well I never had you around. Now I do, so that's my reason to watch it."

"You'll love it," I say.

The credits start to roll through and I look up at Caleb who has the biggest smile on his face.

"What did you think?"

He starts to rub my back, "I loved it. It was so interesting."

"I told you that you would love it," I say.

"Is there more?"

I smile, "There is two more movies and since you love to read so much I'll lend you the books."

"You have them?"

I start laughing, "Caleb, you hate to read. Why do you act excited?"

"Because the books are always better than the movies," he says.

"How would you know that?"

"Because you always talk about how books are one hundred percent better than movies. I take your word for it."

I smile, "You actually listen to me when I rant about books?"

"Of course I do," he says. "I listen to every single word you say. Weather it interests me or not."
