Disclaimer: If I did, I'd keep Pogue for myself, give Caleb to my friend Lyssa, give Reid to my friend Ker-bear and give Tyler to my friend Dani. :) But I don't own them, sorry guys. :(

A/N: Enjoy peeps!

A Mistake

The next three days passed without a accident, luckily.

But Brandy still hadn't told Reid, Tyler and Caleb about her hurting herself. Sarah still hadn't asked Caleb about Brandy and Pogue. And Caleb was still trying to figure things out.

Brandy right then was having a bit of a problem.

She had to go to the library and Pogue couldn't give her a ride, cause he had plans with his parents, and Reid and Tyler were already gone, cause they had something to do too.

"Hey, Liz." came Caleb's voice.

"Hey." Brandy said, looking at him.

"What are you still doing here?" he asked, since most of the kids where gone for the day.

"I could ask you the same thing." Brandy pointed out.

Caleb chuckled a bit. "True."

Brandy smiled faintly. "Well, I had to stay late for our Math teacher, Mr.Gregson and then yea."

Caleb nodded. "Need a ride or is Pogue g– or are Reid or Tyler picking you up?" Caleb asked. He had cut himself off from asking if Pogue was gonna give her a ride again, his voice for some reason started to get a bit angry and protective.

"Pogue has something to do with his parents and Reid and Tyler are doing something, so I'd love to take you up on that ride."

Caleb grinned a bit. "Come on."

Brandy walked with Caleb to his car and got in beside him.

"Is there anywhere you need to go or be?" Caleb asked.

"Uh, I need to go to the public library." Brandy answered.

Caleb nodded and pulled out, heading toward the library. "Why the public one? We got our own." Caleb said, joking a bit.

Brandy chuckled. "Yeah, but the public one has a book that the school one doesn't."

"Ah."

"Yeah."

The drove in a comfortable silence, the rest of the way. Along the way, Caleb found that he nearly had pulled his hand away from the wheel to rest it on Brandy's knee and to hold her hand. He mentally smacked himself. What was up with him?

Brandy had looked out the window for the car ride, trying to keep herself from laying her head on Caleb's shoulder, which she wanted to do really. He had a girlfriend, and couldn't possibly like her.

After the library, they decided to get something to eat. Caleb had brought it up. Caleb had taken on his school vest and tie and blazer leaving them in the car. Brandy had done the same, pulling her shirt out of her skirt. Caleb found himself watching as a touch of skin showed, making him want to see more. Caleb ran a hand over his face.

After eating they were walking along the pier that was there at the place, eating ice cream cones.

They leaned over the pier, looking out over the ocean.

Caleb felt calm, happy and something else he couldn't put his finger on.

"Okay, so would you rather, eat all the pickles in a pickle jar and drink the juice too or eat 20 prunes or something?" Brandy asked.

Caleb chuckled. Somehow they had started to play the "Would You Rather" game. They had talked during dinner, and hadn't ran out of things to say really. And when it was silent it was comfortable.

"I'd say the 20 prunes." Caleb answered.

Brandy made a face. "Gross."

Caleb laughed. "Okay. Liz, would you rather...kiss a total stranger or someone that you know?"

Brandy bit her lip. "I'd have to say someone I know." she said, secretly thinking of Caleb.

Caleb nodded, thinking it might have been Pogue and weirdly finding himself disappointed if that was true.

"Hmm." Brandy murmured, thinking.

Caleb glanced over and saw her lick at her ice cream, slowly, thinking. He felt a few thoughts and images enter his mind, all dirty pretty much. Especially for him. And felt his jeans tighten just a bit.

(A/N: Makes you want to beat him and yell, "YOU LIKE HER YOU MORON!" lol, huh?)

Brandy looked at Caleb and saw him looking at her strangely. "Caleb...?" she asked, licking a bit of ice cream off her lip.

Caleb started to lean in close to her. Brandy started to do the same and their lips met in a soft, gentle kiss.

They stood there, their lips in a gently kiss for a minute, before it grew a bit.

As their lips moved together, Caleb could taste the Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream from Brandy and she could taste the Vanilla ice cream from him.

They both felt as if someone had stuck a live-wire to their lips as they kissed.

They pulled back, both noting wanting too, at all.

They stood there for a bit, looking at each other before Caleb jerked his head away.

"Aww, Liz, I'm sorry." he said, not really meaning it.

"Uh, it's okay." Brandy said, not really meaning herself.

"No, it's not. I shouldn't have kissed you cause of what you just went through." Caleb said, meaning that a little bit. She probably wasn't ready for a guy.

"And because of Sarah, right?" Brandy asked.

Caleb nodded. "Yeah." Why hadn't he said because of Sarah too?

They stood there in silence, which was for the first time all day, awkward.

Caleb glanced at his watch and saw it was almost 8. "Come on, I'll take you home."

"Okay."

They walked together back to Caleb's car in a awkward silence.

They drove toward the Garwin mansion. Oh and Reid had called her cell, to check on her and she said she was hanging out with Caleb. Forgot to mention that.

Caleb was mentally yelling at himself for kissing her. And for liking it. And it didn't help that, that tiny voice was stronger and louder now, telling him to pull the car over and to kiss her again. He shook those thoughts away. It was a mistake to kiss her.

As they turned a corner, a car came out of nowhere. Caleb slammed on the breaks and his arm popped out to make sure Brandy didn't go flying and his eyes flashed black, making the other car just miss them.

Caleb looked at Brandy and found her looking at him. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah. You?"

"Yeah."

"Good."

Caleb nodded.

"Caleb?" Brandy asked, a bit of fear in her voice.

"Yeah?"

"What was that with your eyes?"

A/N: Hehehe lol REVIEW!
