I don't own the Covenant...
Sunday morning Kate invited me to go shopping with her, Chase, and Sara.
"I think Chase would really enjoy your company."
"What are you getting at lady?" I laughed through my phone as I brushed my hair one handed.
"Isn't it obvious Shi?" I could hear the grin on Kate's face. "Chase is so into you!"
"Yeah. Sure. He may have been…until Pogue butted in and scared the poor boy."
"Are you saying that you are interested Shilo?"
"Nope…I am not saying a thing."
"Ok…whatever. Should I pick you up?"
"Nah…I'll pick you guy's up. More room for you guys that way." I 'used' my key's off the hook by the door and into my hand. "Give me thirty minutes?"
"To make yourself look sexy for Chase?"
"Oh Lord…I'll see you in a bit. Bye."
"Bye!" Kate laughed through the phone.
I went to my closet and pulled out a pair of dark wash jeans and a red and black striped tank top. I matched it with my black sneakers, and a velvet cameo choker. Tossing on my leather jacket, I walked out of my bedroom and outside to my red Volvo convertible.
I pulled up in front of Spencer Academy about fifteen minutes later and called Kate's room to told her I was there. Five minutes later Sara, Kate, and Chase sauntered over to the car. Kate with a huge smile on her face. Chase and Sara shared the same look of awe.
"Well…don't just stand there biting your thumbs guys…get in," I laughed!
The three hopped into the car and I drove off toward down town Ipswich.
"This is a sweet ride you got here Shilo," Chase said in a slightly envois voice.
"Yep…she's my baby!" I patted the dashboard. "It was my birthday gift last year. Pogue got a motorcycle, I got the sexy car." I winked in the rearview mirror. Chase was the only one to notice and winked back at me.
When I parked in front of the Pharmacy and noticed Caleb's car a few spot's ahead, I smiled inwardly. Getting out of the car I hung back with Sara. "You are a lucky girl Sara…Caleb is here."
"What?" She asked confused.
"Don't bother trying to cover it up Sara…I can tell you are into him." Sara remained silent. "Just don't go breaking my boy's heart alright." I linked my arm with Sara's and walked into the store.
"Shi…" Kate said at the front of the store. "Keep Chase Company while Sara and I go to the lady isle?"
"Sure," I smiled at Chase as the two girls went off toward the feminine care isle.
"So..." Chase said awkwardly.
"So…?" I walked toward the magazine/book section.
"What kind of book's you like?"
"Some of everything I guess. Today feels like a murder mystery kinda day…we may have to make a pit stop over by the bookstore. The selection here sucks."
"Really? I pictured you for a romantic novel girl." Chase smiled flipping through a random magazine.
"Um…sometimes. You know on those cold lonely nights when everyone else is out and I am home alone…like usual."
"A girl as beautiful as you alone on the weekend? Is that even legal?" Chase leaned against the wall smirking.
I mimicked his move next to him. "Were you paying attention to how my brother reacted when you were flirting last night?"
Chase turned and put a hand on the wall, on either side of my head, blocking any escape. "Who says I was flirting?"
I stood up straighter, my face inches from Chase's. "I do. Prove me wrong?"
Chase leaned in a little, "no…prove you right." Chase made to kiss me. I ducked out under his arm, causing him to lose his balance. "Now that isn't fair."
"Hun, I don't submit that easily to charm. You are gonna have to work much…much harder." With a wink I walked away. As I turned the corner, I saw Caleb at the Pharmacy counter. I sneaked up behind him and poked his sides.
"What the?" Caleb jumped a little as he turned around to faced me. "Shi? What are you doing here?"
"Picking up stuff with Sara, Kate, and Chase."
"Oh…dose Pogue know your hanging out with him?"
"Caleb…Pogue is my younger brother…not my father."
"Yeah, that's true. But you know that we all are just looking after our little Shi-shi."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever. You keep your mouth shut though. We don't need the knew kid getting beat up his first day." The two of us laughed as Kate, Chase, and Sara walked over to talk to them.
"Hey Caleb," Kate smiled. "Wanna go see the new Brad Pitt movie with us?"
"I'm running errands for my mother." Caleb said holding up the pharmacy bag.
Kate and I looked at Sara questioningly. "I already saw it," she said looking between me and Caleb.
"Wanna run errands?" Caleb asked smiling.
"Sure," Sara grinned. We all paid for our purchases and parted ways outside by the cars. I hugged Caleb and told him I would see him at Nicky's later that night.
"See you Shi." Caleb helped Sara into his car and they drove off towards the woods.
Chase leaned against my car waiting for Kate and I. "Didn't the new Brad Pitt movie come out like three days ago?"
"Yep" Kate chuckled.
"Did Sara actually see it?" Chase asked.
"Nope. I am sure Caleb knows that too. Not that he is complaining." I laughed as I climbed into my car.
