Chapter 11:

a/n thanks to all the reviewers, YAY!! To Superdani, I figured that Caleb's birthday was in Sep of the beginning of the year, and the twins' birthday is in October. I had to use some poetic liscencing to make everything fit in the story, but yeah thanks for all of your awesome reviews!! You rock!

The two sat there for what felt like eternity, staring, well, more like glaring at eachother. Marita refused to acknowledge their current situation, letting herself become consumed with her anger. That was the only thing stopping her from jumping the guy in front of her. Stupid hormones. How was any self respecting girl supposed to concentrate on hating someone when all she can think about is how good he looks with his shirt off? It sucks being a teenager. Honestly.

"This is ridiculous, Mar, we're going to have to talk eventually," Caleb said, the silence getting to him. Mar glared even harder at him, if that was possible, and rolled her eyes.

"You have no say in what is ridicuolous or not, Caleb, or whether or not we should ever speak again," she said, knowing that she was not really making much sense, as she just went with her first thoughts.

"Mar, seriously, you have to get over the-"

"Get over it? How dare you tell me to GET OVER IT!" she interrupted, jumping up off the bed, and standing before him, still on her side of the room. "I will not let-" It was Caleb's turn to interrupt her for once.

"Would you let me get in a word edgewise? God, I can never finish a sentence with you, Ms. I-jump-to-conclusions," he said, standing as well, and making his way closer to her.

"Stay where you are, Danvers," she said, eyeing him cautiously.

"Or what?" he said, smirking as he stepped closer. Mar tried to step back, but realized there was a bed blocking her escape. She frowned as she looked at him again.

"Caleb, just stay on your side, and I'll stay on mine, and then maybe one of us won't end up dead by the morning," she stated, her voice sounding defeated and tired. She sighed as he gave her a thoughtful look. Perhaps he was going to listen to her for once.

"No," he stated simply, catching her off guard as he went straight over the proverbial line in the sand. He now stood right before her, staring down. Marita was done with this game. She growled as she jumped on him, crashing her mouth to his. Caleb responded right away, just as fiercely. Marita pushed off his jacket, letting her hands flow over his chest, feeling the hard muscles there. She felt his hands grab her at her waist, and lift her up. She instinctively wrapped her legs around his middle, letting her hands explore his hair. She felt his hands slide up from her hips, up her sides and underneath her shirt. Marita shivered at his touch, as she bit at his lips. His beautifully pouty lips. Marita let go of him, as he held her so she woudn't fall. She relinquished her hold on his lips, as she smirked at him. She pulled off her shirt, revealing her black lacey bra that she was thanking the heavens she had put on that day. It was, so she thought, the sexiest bra that she owned. She smiled coyly at Caleb when she saw his eyes linger on her newly liberated self. She put one of herlegs on the floor, as she slid the other one down, slowly, making him squirm. Once she was down on her own two feet again, she grabbed his face with her hands, kissing him once more. She started to back up towards her bed, pulling him with her. Marita sat down on her bed, letting him go as she she crawled, backwards, to the headboard. Caleb smirked as he followed her, ending up completely on top of her. Before he could kiss her again, Marita pulled his shirt off. She explored his hard torso, shivering as he did the same to her. Capturing her lips once again, Marita fought back a moan, failing miserably as she felt Caleb smirk against her lips. Mar felt her way to the waistband of his jeans. She wanted to beable to explore his body, to make him feel what she was feeling at that exact moment; no one had ever made her feel like this before, but her limited experience made her doubt herself, as she pulled slightly away from him. He sensed her uneasiness and caressed her side, making her sigh.

"Are you okay, Mar?" he asked, looking down at her. She looked up into his kind eyes, and smiled.

"Yes, I am, it's just, well, I've never really done anything like this before, you know?" caleb smiled at her again.

"I know, Mar, we'll figure this out together, whatever this is. Just know that I love you." He stated, and looked as surprised as she did that he had said that. He hadn't meant to pour his heart out to her like that, but he knew that he meant it.

"You-you love me?" she said, her eyes going wide, "How could you when it seems like you can't stand me sometimes?" he chuckled at that.

"Diddo!" he said, and she laughed as well. She looked away from him.

"Leb, I love you too, okay?" she stated, as he pulled her face towards his, kissing her once more. She knew that she loved him, she had loved him since she first met him. She was just now realizing it. He anger with him was nothing more than frustration that he did not, or so she thought, return her love. She felt so stupid for letting her stubborness get in the way of her first love. She almost missed her chance. Thank god her brother had to go and help their father.

"I'm sorry, Caleb, that I was so messed up to you," she said, straight from her heart, emotion making her voice thick. She felt tears come to her eyes, making her close her eyes to fend them off.

"No, Mar, don't be sorry. What happened has happened. I should have reacted differently when you told me about how you felt about your family. I should have tried harder to get you to see that I loved you, and that Tyler would understand that." Caleb confessed, as he brushed the tears that had escaped her defences away with his thumb. Seeing that her eyes were still closed, Caleb softly pressed his lips against hers. She sighed, as she opened her eyes once again.

"can we just start over then?" She smiled at him hopefully. He nodded, as he kissed her once more, with more passion, progressing their relationship to the next level. The rest of the night, Mar spent it in Caleb's arms, realising a passion she never knew she had within her. Caleb brought out the best in her, and she knew that he was the one for her. The only one. That is why she had given him herself completely, body and soul. And, for once, she wasn't scared to do so. That was most likely why it was easier to do, for she knew that he would never hurt her, and she could trust her heart to him.

Mar woke up with a smile upon her face, as she snuggled deeper into the warmth that Caleb offered her. Even in sleep he was making sure that she was warm and safe, as his arms wrapped tighter around her frame, pulling her closer. She sighed, as she breathed him in. Everything about him awoke within her this hunger, this need to be close to him, to be touching him. Mar looked up at his face, so peaceful in sleep, and craned her neck to place her lips upon his. She felt him pull her on top of him, and let out a squeal of surprise. Caleb smiled mischeviously, before even his eyes opened.

"Caleb Danvers, what is the big deal, here?" she asked, laughing desite her scolding voice. He merely looked into her eyes, his eyes smoldering with a need that she knew she mirrored within her own eyes.

"That was quite the wake up call, Ms. Simms," said Caleb, his voice husky with sleep and desire. Marita smirked down at him, as she moved her hips slightly, under the cover of getting in a more comfortable position. She giggled as she heard his intake of breath at the contact between them. She could feel him hard against her, and knew that it was all for her. That made her feel wanted, which was a knew thing for her. Caleb smirked up at her, as he grabbed her, pulling her down to him.

"Don't think that you're getting away that easily, Marita Simms," he growled, as he crashed his lips hard against hers. Their passion took over, as Mar let herself go. She repositioned herself above him, breaking apart their lips, as she lowered herself on to him, gasping at the contact. She closed her eyes as she started to move on top of him, setting the pace of their rocking. He filled her so completely, every part of her, making her moan in pleasure. She could hear Caleb's breathing getting harder, as he caressed her. She let herself go, giving in to everything that she was feeling and everything that Caleb was feeling. For some reason, as they had found out for the first time last night, that two people with their power could feel everything the other was feeling while in the throws, intensifying their pleasure tenfold. As she moved harder and faster, she knew that they were both close. They both let go together, crying out in absolute pleasure, as Marita fell on top of him. She smiled at him, as she postioned herself beside him, curling up to his side. He placed his arm around her, as he stroked her hair.

"You're amazing, you know that?" he said, his voice still unearthly deep.

"Of course!" she laughed, making Caleb role his eyes good naturedlly. Just then Marita's cell phone began to vibrate on her night table. She sighed, as she unlocked herself from Caleb, and reached for the offending piece of technology. She looked at the caller id, seeing it was her brother.

"It's Ty,' she said to caleb, as she pressed the green button on her phone, "Hey," she said in greeting to her brother.

"Hey sis, I'll be there in a minute to get you, we're going over to my house to have breakfast with dad, kay?" he said, as he locked the door to his dorm.

"What?! You could have given me a little more time, don't you think? I just woke up! I need to have a shower, and get dressed and all that!" she said, as she sat up in bed, not happy at the fact that her brother was going to be there soon, and she was still in bed, naked, with Caleb. Oh, yeah, that'll go over well.

"Well, hurry up!!" Ty stated, "dad wants us there early so we can do some family bonding stuff, and then get the boys to come over so we can talk strategy for our birthdays."

"fine! I'll use." She stated, as she hung up the phone, none to pleased, but knew that she needed to do it. Marita wrapped her sheet around herself, and got out of the bed, making caleb pout.

"Oh, don't start, leb, you need to get up too! Ty will be here any minute, so you better get dressed or somebody's in trouble!" she said, as she pointed her finger towards herself. In 3 minutes she was completely cleaned, and dressed for the tough day ahead. She smiled as she watched Caleb try and find his shirt in the mess of clothes that was thrown about her room. Finally, she felt completely at home.

a/n well, they finally got over themselves!! HAha... newho...thank you so much for reading my story, and I'll be wrapping it up in the next two chapters or so, so yeah! You guys have been so awesome, thank you!
