Chapter 3

A/N: Hey, thanks to the people who reviewed this story ! You are my favourite people in the world :) I'm glad you liked it. I will definetly keep updating for the people who want me too :D

''Huh, you weren't kidding when you said it was hard to miss were you.'' Kaleb remarked.
''Nope.'' I replied, unbuckling my seatbelt. When I looked up, Kaleb was gone. I hadn't heard the car door open or close. My door opened, almost causing me to scream. Although I would never admit it.
''Thought you might need some help.''
Crap. I had forgotten about the step. Kaleb offered so I slid mine into his. Turning in my seat, I swung my legs out. 'Man I really was freezing', I thought to myself. My trainer hit the step and slipped. I lurched forward, falling from the car. Kaleb grabbed me before I could hit the ground.
''I've got you, your okay.'' My heart was jumping around in my chest. My arms were once again locked around his neck.
''I hate ice...'' I commented, trying to sound normal. I felt a laugh rumble in his chest. The sound screeching tyres, brought us back to reality.
''Cade! OMG you should've been in this, five minutes ago. This dog darted out of nowhere, if Nate hadn't swerved when he did...man.'' Brook called, jumping past me. I shook my head; she didn't see.
''Hey to you too. I'm fine by the way, yeah my gravestone almost read 'Death By Ice' but hey, really don't worry. I'm fine!'' I hollered, to her retreating figure. She hadn't heard a word of that. She was already half way up the house steps holding on to Nates' arm.
''Oh God, I forgot about these steps.'' I groaned.
''Come on I'll help you.'' Kaleb assured me.
''I bet you think I'm some stupid girl whose afraid of her own two feet. Don't you?'' His lips pulled up in a smile,
''Of course not.'' I sighed. At least if I fell, I wouldn't be alone. The hall light illuminated the steps; making it easier to see where we were going. As we reached the front door - I didn't fall - I turned to Kaleb.
''Thanks, I mean you've stopped me falling flat on my face three times now, and driven me home. So thanks.'' I told him, softly so the others wouldn't hear. He smiled down at me, mischievously.
''You are very welcome. Tonight with the whole, running from the homicidal server, and everything was the most fun I've had since coming here.'' He replied, matching my tone. I felt my stomache do a little flip at his words. I could feel a blush coming on.
''We should probably go inside, it's not a nice neighbourhood.'' I said, changing the subject. He looked at me like he knew what I was thinking.
''Okay.'' I led him inside and shut the door. The house looked exactly like it had this morning; Brooks' clothes all over the floor, from the fashion show she went through everyday. The new top I had bought last week, was hung-up in my wardrobe, never to be worn. I was home, and I loved it.
''Brooks' not very organised.'' I stated, lightly.
''Huh, Nates' exactly the same, he leaves his stuff everywhere too.''
''And what are you like?'' I asked, looking up at me. A small smile, curved his lips. Jeeze those lips.
''I'm...different.'' He didn't elaborate. I shook my head at him, walking to the kitchen. He followed.
''Can I get you a drink or anything?'' I said, politely.
''No thank you, I'm fine. In fact Nate and I should probably get going.'' I looked at my watch; it was almost 7pm. I had tons of homework still left to do as well.
Nate and Brook were giggling in the living, I didn't even want to know why.
''Brook!'' I shouted. The silence let me know she had heard. A moment later she entered the kitchen, trailed by Nate. Kaleb took it from there.
''We should probably get going Nate, you know what your like in the morning when you don't get enough sleep.'' He said, grinning. Nate looked at Brook and nodded.
''Lets go say goodnight Nate.'' Brook suggested, pulling him from the room.
''Awkward.'' Kaleb chuckled. I giggled, actually giggled. I hadn't giggled in my life.
''Goodnight Cade, I'll see you tomorrow.''
I nodded slightly, ''Goodnight Kaleb.'' We walked to the front door side by side. ''Drive safe.'' I warned him, standing on the porch. He smiled, ''Bye.''
I turned as Nate walked past me. ''Bye Cade.'' He said.
''Night Nate.''
Brook joined me at the door. We watched as both cars pulled out with the headlights blazing. As they disappeared Brook said,
''I think I'm in love. Like for real this time.'' Still watching the place where his car had gone, I replied, ''Hmmm maybe.''
