Chapter 5
Stella made her way down to the common room the next morning on her way to breakfast. Right away she noticed Blake Caruso sitting in one of the plush chairs. She wasn't in the mood to apologize to him. She knew she would have to sooner or later for making such an ass out of herself earlier, but now wasn't the time.
She tugged Bri's sleeve and quickly made her way past him, and he turned just in time to spot her before walking out.
"Stella" he called but she was already out, and pretended she hadn't heard him.
"Hey what's going on?" Bri asked. "Since when did you ignore Blake? Did you guys have a fight?"
"Well it takes two to fight, so I guess since technically I was doing all the yelling sooo I wouldn't call it fighting." Stella tried to joke but Bri gave her a stern look.
"Why on earth would you get mad at Blake, you never get upset with him. EVER! What's going on?"
It was a good question, but she really didn't want to answer it, that would mean she would have to explain everything to her.
"Stella" he called again jogging to catch up with her. She was glad he did because this way it would buy her some time to come up with something to tell Bri.
He reached them and gave Bri a questioning smile. "Oh don't mind me, gee I'm starving! I think I'm going to go and get to the great hall before all the bacon is gone!" She obviously could tell he wanted to talk to her alone, but it bugged her she didn't get to know.
Stella giggled and watched her retreating friends back.
"Look" he started causing her to turn back and face him "I am sorry. I was wrong. You are perfectly capable of handling things on your own, and I shouldn't have gone psycho on you.." He paused "It's just that I worry about you, about your safety. I would die if anything happened to you." He finished and looked at her shyly.
This was not like him at all. Blake Caruso was never shy, in fact quite the opposite. His honey eyes bore into her and every ounce of anger she had felt was washed away. 'God those things are weapons' she thought looking back into his gaze.
"No I'm sorry. I feel like I have to have control over everything and everyone in my life, and the truth is I'm not used to having someone care about what happens to me. My parents could care less." She looked down embarrassed for letting him get to her the way he had.
He lifted her chin with his hand and brought her eyes to his again. "You have no idea how many people care about you Stella. Anyone of your friends would do anything for you in a heartbeat." He stepped closer. "Don't you ever think otherwise"
He kissed her forehead and pulled her in for a hug. She knew it was just friendly gesture, but she could help but wonder if there was anything else behind that kiss. 'I don't deserve you' she thought silently.
They parted after awhile, and he gave her a heartbreaking smile, and she smiled right back. "Lets go eat"
