What Happens In Vegas Doesn't Stay In Vegas

The End Of Something

The End Of Something

It was a Saturday morning when Caleb said that he would have football practice for the rest on the day. He said that he will be coming home late too.

So there was nothing for me to do that day after classes. I texted Rachel if she was free but she wasn't. I saw Pete on the halls. I asked him how was he and he said he was very good winking at me. I was enjoying talking to him but he had a class so he excused his self.

I was about to walk over the corner of the hall when somebody called my name. I look over him and it was CC. I haven't seen him or talked with him since we talked a few days ago.

He asked me if I had something to do and I told him no. He asked me for a date today. I said yes but I prefer the word hang out rather than date.

We went to the movies and watch 2 movies on a row. Well there are good movies on the theater today so we did watch two of them. It was about 7 when we got out the theater and decided to take some dinner together.

CC had his car so he asked if I wanted to take our dinner off campus. He said he knows a place where the food is delicious than that of Sibylline.

I had to taste this. Food more delicious than that of Sibylline? So I said yes to him. We head there. It was close than I have expected. It was like a fancy restaurant out at front. It had a big sign that said Saucy.

CC assisted me inside and a sophisticated looking woman led as in a table for two. She gave us a menu. I didn't know what to order. So I let CC do the honors. He asked for the chef's special and the girl winked at him.

What is good about CC is that he does not ran out of stories. I love listening to them and asking him what's it like to be in so many different place. He always answered me 'amazing and terrifying at the same time'. I want to feel that feeling.

At last the food arrived. It really smelled tasty. It was steak and I could tell it is well done. It had some sauce in it and it was a bit many. I think there was 3 kinds of sauce in my plate.

I took my knife and cut a small part on the whole steak. I dipped it on a green sauce first then the yellow and then the red one. I thought it would not taste good but it surprisingly is. It taste heaven. It is true, it taste much better than that of Sibylline but I prefer Sibylline more.

We finished our meal and a waiter gave us our dessert. It was a lava cake with a molten chocolaty caramel center. It was really heaven for me. I love bread and cakes you know.

CC was looking at me intently while I was eating and moaning from the heaven from my mouth.

"What?" I asked him when I can't take it anymore.

"I'm just curious." He said. I can tell he was. It was dripping in his own voice.

"About?"

"You."

"What about me?"

"Well..."

"Well what?"

"I don't know if this is the right moment to ask you this thing."

"You can ask me anything so shoot."

To my horror I saw Caleb walked in the door and it creeps me out when he made eye contact at me while CC was talking. I could see him tense up when he saw who I was with. I know he don't like CC but I told him that CC is gay.

CC didn't saw Caleb and he held my hand. I was startled.

"I'm asking you a question." CC said.

"Uh, I'm sorry, what is it? I wasn't paying attention. Something caught my eye."

He looked at the front door which is far behind me. I looked at there too but Caleb was not there. I look around the room but he wasn't here either. Where did he go?

"I like you Eyre."

"What?" I was startled by what he said.

"I really like you, from the moment I laid eyes at you at the party."

"No CC. I think you mistake like for friends."

"No Eyre."

"CC, I can't. I'm sorry."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes CC I am very much sure. Friendship is all I can offer you CC."

"Eyre, I want to be more than friends."

"I can't CC. I'm very sorry. That is all I can offer. Take it or leave it."

"Eyre, I will be gone and you will be free, I just want you to be honest with me."

"I am honest with you CC. And what the hell are you saying?"

"I watched an episode of 'The Vampire Diaries' with Pete last night and that Klaus guy said it to a pretty girl and they had hot sex. I was taking my chances."

"You wish."

"Oh well, I'll take the friendship. But I think you are too cute."

I rolled my eyes at him finishing my lava cake.

"Do you want some of mine?"

"No thank you." I responded. I looked at the clock to see it was almost 9pm. I need to go home. "Uh, sorry to be rude but are you finished eating? I really need to go home."

"Oh right, you are married. Now I remember why you can't offer anything but friendship. That make me even want you more." I saw a smirk on his face and could hear amusement on his voice.

"Come on, take me home." I said.

"Mine or yours."

"Stop it CC."

"I'm just fooling around." He waved his hands asking for our check. I said I'd pay for it but he insisted of paying. We went out and dropped me by my apartment.

Caleb was there in the kitchen with a glass on his hand and a bottle of whiskey at his side.

"Welcome back. I'm Caleb. Your boyfriend and husband." He sound sarcastic.

"Why are you drinking?"

"What is it to you?" his voice was shaking with anger.

"Why are you angry?"

"Ask it to yourself."

"Are you jealous?"

"Ask it to your date."

"Uuhhhg. I'm going to bed, join me when the jerk personality is out."

I stormed out the kitchen and head to the closet to change into something comfortable. After that I head onto the bed and made myself comfortable.

Moments later Caleb was sitting at the edge of the bed.

"Hey, I'm sorry. I was just not myself."

I sat up but not moving an inch from where I was.

"It's just that I saw him flirting with you and I saw you flirt back."

"Me? Flirting?" I can hear my voice rise.

"I..." Caleb was stuttering.

I let my anger take over me.

"Why... Why would I flirt with him? Tell me, Why would I flirt with him when... when I... when I have you?"

He faced me I can see his eyes flutters and he finally smiles. I can see his eyes dance with amusement. I could feel the heat to my face. I blushed at my own doing. I didn't know what came into me.

He hugged me tight, I didn't expect that. He kissed my forehead and we laid on the bed. We cuddled and didn't said a word. Seems like we understood each other.
