This morning I decided that I would go talk to Caleb about the whole party situation. I got out of my bed, after a long time debating if I should get out or not. I walk out of my apartment after changing into my clothes for the day. On my way to Calebs, I decide to observe New York more. A lady with a coffee and lots of papers trying to get through the crowd. A man yelling in his cell phone. Two teens holding hands and talking. I smile at the thought of that because they looked truly happy with each other. She was obviously his world. He looked at her and he was clearly interested in what she had to say. I finally made my way to Caleb's and I'm standing in front of his door. I knock on his door and wait a few seconds before I hear footsteps coming down . The door swings open and I see the face of the guy I'm dating.
"Hey," I smile.
"Hi," he smiles back. We stand there looking at each other. "Um, would you like to come in?" he asks gesturing me to come in. I nod and walk inside and he brings me up to his room. We both take a seat on his bed.
"So, I needed to talk to you about something," I say.
"I think I know what about," he sighs looking down.
"What happened between you and Lucas?" I ask concerned.
"Look I want to tell you, trust me, I do but I can't," he replies.
"Why? Neither you or Lucas will tell me what happened." I say frustrated.
"Fine, I was jealous. I know that you two have some history together and with him here, I feel threatened. I don't trust him, Riley!" He exclaims.
"It shouldn't matter that you don't trust him. You trust me! You should trust me to not let him to kiss me or to do anything else!" I yell at him.
"I know! I just- I don't know what I was thinking, please forgive me Riley, please." He begs.
"Fine," I shrug, "but this is strike one," I hug him.
"Thank you," he smiles.
"So you know about the school dance right?" I ask.
"Yeah," he answers.
"Well, maybe so that you and Lucas can get to know each other better, we could all go together." I suggest.
"Uh, yeah s-sure," he replies.
"Great!" I exclaim.
...
I walk into my room and plump down on my bed when I hear my door open.
"Ugh!" I groan.
"Nice to see you too," I hear the familiar chuckle.
"What are you doing in here Lucas?" I ask sitting up.
"Well you weren't here earlier, so, I was checking if you were here now," he replies.
"Okay. Well, there's this dance at school next week and I was thinking that maybe you, Caleb, and I could all go together so that you two could get to know each other better," I say.
"You sure you want to do that since, you know..." he trails off
"He explained to me what had happened. Look I'm sorry about his behavior, he just got-"
"It's all good," he smiles. All I can notice is the cut on his lip.
"How your lip doing," I say as I touch it with my thumb.
"It's fine," he says. I move my eyes up to his. We just sit there looking in each others eyes. What felt like hours only lasted a couple minutes.
"So uh what have you done today?" I ask breaking the silence.
"Just laying down and listening to music," he replies.
"Wow, very interesting," I say sarcastically and he chuckles.
"How about you princess," he says.
"I went to go see Caleb to figure out what had happened," I answer.
"Right!" he says. "So about that dance, do I have to wear something fancy?" He asks raising an eyebrow.
"I don't think so," I answer.
"Well if you figure it out, tell me because if you're gonna look super pretty, I want to look right," he says while getting up and leaving. I can't help but blush at his comment.
