Ch.21 Peanut Butter Pancakes & Butterflies

A few hours later Kaila woke up with a huge smile on her face feeling very well rested and walking on cloud nine. She got up and started to get ready for school and just as she was finishing up her make up there was a knock on her door. She went to open it and standing on the other side was Caleb standing there in his school uniform with two Styrofoam cups of coffee and a smile of his own.

"Good morning butterfly," He said as he kissed her cheek "Thought you might need this" He said as he held out one of the cups for her to take.

"Your sweet, thank you" She said taking the cup and stepping to the side so he could come inside her room.

"So are you almost ready?" he asked taking a seat on her bed

"Just about, I need ten minutes" she said going back into the bathroom to finish her mascara. When she came out Caleb had fallen asleep on her bed.

"Caleb, wake up, Caleb, we gotta go or were going to be late" She said whispering softly into his ear.

"I'm awake just resting" he said eyes still closed.

"Yeah okay" she said getting off the bed and grabbing her bag. Caleb stood up and walked to the door.

"After you" He said holding the door open for Kaila.

"Why thank you" she said smiling as he put his arm around her as they walked through the halls.

When Caleb and Kaila walked through the front doors of Spenser academy, Caleb's arm around Kaila the whispers started.

'Are they dating?'

'They must be together.'

'I heard he's taking her to prom.'

But the couple ignored all the whispers and gossip and continued through the halls till they met up with Pogue, Reid, Tyler, Sarah, and Kate.

"Well, well, well, what is this?" Pogue asked motioning back and forth between Caleb and Kaila. Noticing the extra closeness today

"Oh Pogue, you know my girlfriend Kaila right?" Caleb said jokingly

"Girlfriend?!" Kate repeated unable to control her squeal of delight

"Yes girlfriend, its official people." Kaila said opening her locker to get her book out.

'About time'

'Alright

'How cute'

'Finally'

'Good because if you didn't make a move soon I was'

"Shut up Reid" Caleb said giving him a light shove

"I'm just saying took you long enough, Kaila you know if it doesn't work out between you two you could always"

"Reid, don't even finish that sentence" She said putting a book in her backpack.

"You know you want me" he teased

"Whatever," She said closing her locker "Come on lover boy, lets get to class" she said grabbing Reid by the arm and walking towards there first period class.

Twenty Minutes –

Later Kaila and Reid were in class bored out of there minds so to help pass the time Reid slide a note across the table to Kaila who had been dozing during the boring lecture.

'So you and tight ass Caleb made it official huh?' Reid wrote on a piece of notebook paper before sliding it to Kaila.

'Tight ass? No, no, no, you mean nice ass =p" she wrote back

'Okay I walked right into that one didn't I?'

'Yeah you did but seriously he's not all bad, his bark is bigger than his bite'

'Oh I didn't know you were freaky letting him bite you and all'

'Reid I Swear only you could make that sexual'

'Yes I know it's a gift' he wrote back just as the bell rang

Kaila rolled her eyes and said "Whatever, he's a great guy and even though you guys piss each other off sometimes, I know you know its true, plus he's like a brother to you." She said walking down the steps heading for the door.

"Yeah, yeah, he may be like a brother to me but, if he gets out of line with you I get to kick his ass, deal?" he said stopping Kaila in the door way and holding out his hand to make the deal official.

"Hahaha okay deal" she said as they did there secret hand shake. He threw his arm around her shoulder and walked out of the class room into the hallway.

"Good, Iets eat I'm starving" he said leading the way to the cafeteria

That Saturday –

Caleb called Kaila around noon and asked her if she could meet him at Java bean. He said he had something important to tell her, it's sounded urgent so she hurried to get dressed and drove into town. When she walked into the coffee shop Caleb was already there sitting at a table by the window with two cups of coffee.

"Hey Caleb," She said as she kissed him on the cheek "Are you okay it sounded urgent"

"Yeah, I'm fine sorry if I made you worry it's just, I wanted you to be the first to know"

"Know what?" She asked confused

Caleb reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a white envelop and slid it across the table to her. Kaila took the letter out of the already open envelop and began to read it.

Dean of admissions and financial aid

"Oh my Gosh, I can't believe it, Caleb! Congratulations! I'm so happy for you."

"Well thank you" he said with a huge smile

"Wow, I am so proud of you, and since we're sharing good news, I just got two acceptance letters of my own."

"Oh really and where has Miss Kaila Tunney been accepted?"

"Boston University and believe it or not, I got into the American Academy of Dramatic Arts."

"No way, Kaila that's great! And when were you going to share this information?"

"I don't know I guess I'm still in shock" she said tucking a piece of hair behind her ear.

"Well congratulations baby" He said smiling at how modest she was being

"Thank you"

"Where is the Academy anyway?" Caleb asked taking a sip of his coffee

"New York, actually" She said quietly causing Caleb to choke a little bit

"New York?"

"Yeah, I know its a little ways away" She said avoiding his eyes knowing he was hoping it was closer to Boston

"Yea but, we could still see each other on weekends and stuff" he said trying not to show his worry.

"Yeah that's true" she said still not looking him in the eyes

"Hey, Look at me" he said grabbing her hand and making her look at him. "I'm not going anywhere, okay?"

"I feel like I finally got you, and now, I'm going to lose you"

"Your not going to lose me, I'm right here"

"Okay" she said smiling a little

"Good, now, since were already in town, I say we skip Nicky's tonight, shocking I know, catch a movie and spend sometime just you and me."

"Sounds like a plan"

"Cool, but you have to call and tell everyone were not coming" Caleb said joking as he paid for their coffee.

"Okay fine, but that means I get to pick the movie" she said heading out of the coffee shop

"You drive a hard bargain Tunney"

After Caleb called everyone and told them that they weren't coming to Nicky's. He and Kaila headed to the movie theatre and of course being the gentleman that he is let her pick even though he called everyone. While they were watching the movie Caleb noticed that Kaila was very distant she didn't even appear to be paying much attention to the movie if at all. After the movie they went to a diner and had dinner. While they were walking to the diner Caleb decided to find out just what exactly was bugging Kaila since she hadn't said more than a few words since they left the theatre.

"So what did you think of the movie?" he asked

"It was great" she replied

"Yeah I especially like the part where they were in the mountains"

"Best part" she replied and after that Caleb realized just how distant she was because for one the movie was set in New York City which means no mountains. Her body was there but her mind definitely wasn't. During dinner she just stared at her as her plate and pushed her food around with her fork. Caleb just watched her with raised eyebrows until she looked up and caught his eye and noticed the worried and confused look on his face.

"Sorry" she said

"Are you okay?" he asked concerned

"Yeah, why?"

"You haven't said much since we left the coffee shop, and you barley watched the movie, if at all."

"I did watch"

"Really"

"Yes"

"I asked you if you liked the part where they were in the mountains"

"And"

"The movie took place in New York City, no mountains babe"

"Oh"

"Yeah so, what's going on?"

"I'm fine, I just can't shake this feeling that something is going to happen, and I barely slept last night, I kept having really weird dreams"

"You just have a lot going on, I mean, prom, graduation, college stuff, it's a lot to handle you're just overwhelmed."

"Yeah I guess your right"

"Man and I thought I'd be freaking out" He teased

"Shut up" she hit him playfully

"Love you too" he said then kissed her hand and winked at her.

The next few weeks –

At school flew by with a blurry of pop quizzes, two swim meets, a chemistry test, and squeezing in a few trips to Nicky's all thrown in the mix. Before they knew it prom day had arrived. Kaila woke up bright and early that morning feeling great. She rolled over and glanced at the clock 7:30, in just a few hours she and Caleb would be dancing the night away in each others arms. She got dressed in dark denim jeans and a bright lime green polo. Then she grabbed her cell phone, wallet and keys and drove over to the Danvers mansion, Caleb's mom had insisted on having the girls over for breakfast that morning. When she arrived the door was already open so she walked inside.

"Hello" She called through the house as she closed the door behind her.

"I'm in the kitchen, come on in" Evelyn (Caleb's mom) called and Kaila headed into the kitchen.

"Good morning" Kaila greeted when she walked into the kitchen

"Good morning sweetheart," Evelyn said kissing Kaila on the forehead. In the short time that Kaila and Caleb had been dating Evelyn had grown to see Kaila as a daughter. "Would you mind putting these on the table for me?" She asked handing Kaila a plate of fresh pancakes.

"No problem" she said unable to hide the smile that crept on her face when she thought back to she and Caleb's food fight. She turned around to walk into the dining room but came face to face with Caleb who was leaning against the door frame with his arms folded across his chest.

"What are you smiling at?" he whispered in her ear

"Pancakes" she said laughing which caused him to laugh as well.

"I still want my rematch" he said wrapping his arms around her.

"Don't tempt me Danvers, as fun as the thought of going to prom with pancake batter in my hair is…I'm going to have to pass." She said attempting to walk past him but he turned around and pulled her back and kissed her.

"I don't think so Caleb, she's mine for the morning" Evelyn said appearing in the doorway with a bowl or fruit in her hands.

"But I saw her first" he wined

"Go" Evelyn said giving Caleb the look.

"Alright, alright, I'm gone, see you later" he said giving Kaila a kiss then kissing his mom's cheek.

"Bye babe" she called after him

"Bye" he called back before closing the front door behind him.

"Shall we?" Evelyn asked holding the dinning room door open for Kaila

"We shall" Kaila said with a laugh when she walked into the dinning room Kate and Sarah were already there and talking among themselves.

"Well, look who it is" Sarah said as Kaila set the plate of pancakes down.

"Yes I have arrived, no pictures please" she said taking a seat at the table across from Sarah.

"Whatever still down" Kate said laughing as Evelyn stood to make a toast

"Okay girls, I just wanted to say, thank you all for coming over for breakfast this morning, in case you don't already know you girls are like family to me and I just wanted to be a part of this special time in your life, you guys are going to have an amazing night tonight just don't do anything I wouldn't do." Evelyn said with a wink that made the girls laugh. "Alright lets eat" She said taking a seat.

"So are you guys excited for tonight or what?" Kate asked clapping her hands in excitement.

"Well we can tell somebody is" Kaila said looking at her older sister

"Yea I'm ready, a little sad though," Sarah said taking a sip of her orange juice

"I know what you mean, prom is like the final marker for high school coming to an end." Kaila said putting peanut butter on her pancakes.

"Oh my gosh you still do that?" Kate said a little grossed out by Kaila putting peanut butter on her pancakes.

"Yes actually I do, got a problem?" Kaila responded before taking a bite of her food."Yum, now that's a good pancake"

"Okay yeah you and Caleb are meant for each other" Evelyn said

"What do you mean?" Kaila asked confused

"Let's just say he shares your love of peanut butter pancakes" Evelyn said taking a sip of her coffee

"Yes!" Kaila said making the "right on" gesture causing everyone to burst out in laughter.

The girls spent the rest of the morning talking and spending time with Evelyn until it was time for their hair, nail, and make-up appointments in town. They said good by to Evelyn and told her they would be back tonight to get ready then drove into town in Kaila's Black range rover.

"Note to self make sure seatbelt is safely secure when riding with Kaila" Sarah said jumping out of the car and closing the door.

"Relax Sarah your still alive aren't you?" Kaila said putting her keys in her back pocket.

"Yeah barely"

"Seriously, did you not see the exit" Kate said closing her own door.

"Oh come on you guys live a little, I mean you're still in one piece" Kaila said defending herself

"Yeah, yeah" Sarah said walking towards the shop

"Hey you guys go ahead I have to run and get some eyeliner real quick"

"Okay are you sure?" Sarah asked

"Yeah I'll catch up with you guys in a minute."

"Alright" Kate said and she and Sarah headed into the shop.

Kaila ran into the drugstore and bought her eyeliner and few other make up things she needed for tonight. On her way out she saw Pogue at the flower counter with two corsages in his hands and wearing a very confused expression on his face. Kaila smiled and walked over to him.

"Can't decided" She asked causing Pogue to jump a little

"Kaila hey, uhh to be honest, I'm not even sure how to pick one of these things." He said juggling the boxes they were in.

"Here, go with the purple one" She said handing him a deep purple corsage.

"Yeah, really?" He asked still unsure

"Trust me" She said giving him a wink then walking out of the store to meet up with Sarah and Kate.

Don't worry I'll update soon. Oh and by the way if you've never had peanut butter pancakes I highly recommend them! =D
