RECAP:

"Love you…Caleb," she murmured in her sleep.

Caleb leaned in and kissed her forehead, "If only you could say that to me while you're awake," he whispered to himself. Turning off the light, Caleb headed out the door. After checking to make sure the door was locked only to turn around and only to bump into his girlfriend.

"What are you doing here," she almost growled.

"Sarah, Ronnie was tutoring me," he explained.

"Right, tutoring," she scoffed. "Is that what you're calling it now? Why don't you just admit that you were messing around behind my back with that whore?"

"Don't you ever say anything like that about Ronnie again, do you understand me Sarah?"

"No, no I don't," she spat. "I don't understand why you would want to be seen around with that slut."

"That does it," Caleb yelled. "We are over Sarah!"

"You can't dump me," she shrieked. "Formal is in one week!"

"I think I just did," Caleb stated, gaining control of his anger.

"You'll regret this Caleb Danvers," she threatened before running off.

Chapter 9:

Caleb heard the door open behind him and saw a teary-eyed Veronica staring back at him. "I'm so sorry Caleb," she whispered. "This is my fault. I'll go talk to Sarah."

Caleb immediately pulled her into a hug saying softly, "It's not you fault. We were bound to break up-especially when she isn't the only girl I'm in love with." Caleb felt Veronica tense against him and lightly try to pull back. "Ronnie," he whispered.

"Caleb, let me go," she ordered but there wasn't any authority in her voice.

"No, I won't do that again," he protested. "Now hush and hear me out." She gave him a small nod and waited for him to continue. "I know you said you don't want to be anyone's soulmate but would you please consider giving us a chance? We can take things as slow as you want."

"You want to go out with me," she asked confused. "Sarah?"

"Sarah's long gone and we're over for good," he said sternly.

"I don't know, Caleb."

"Please baby," chocolate brown eyes pleaded. "Give us-give me a chance." Caleb grasped her waist in his arms and pulled her in. Leaning in, he pressed his lips to hers.

Caleb pulled back and waited. "One date," she whispered. A huge smile broke out across Caleb's face and again he captured her lips with his own.

"You know. Kiss. What this. Kiss. Means, right," he asked between kisses.

"What," she asked, trying to get her breathing normal.

"It means. Kiss. That your mine. Kiss. And I'm yours."

"I think I like the sound of that," Veronica giggled.

"Caleb, what are you doing with my sister," a stern voice asked from behind.

"Reid," Veronica gasped when she saw who it was.

"Ronnie," he said dryly.

"Reid, this is," she tried to explain but Caleb cut her off.

"This is exactly what it looks like Reid," Caleb answered, wrapping an arm around her waist. "We're together."

A smirk spread across the blond son's face. "Well, it's about damn time."

"What," Veronica exclaimed.

"No offense bro, you're always a kill joy, but you were ten times worse without Ronnie," Reid explained.

"Thanks Reid," Caleb actually blushed.

"Well, I'll see you guys in class," he laughed, walking down the hall to his room. "Don't do anything I would do."

"He doesn't hold anything back, does he," Veronica said out loud.

"No he doesn't," Caleb chuckled. Caleb took Veronica in his arms again and kissed her forehead. "Have dinner with me tomorrow night."

"Hmmm," she hesitated to make him nervously. "Of course I will," she laughed, kissing his pouting lips.
