Part IV
"You know, we've been walking around all day…don't you think we should give up by now? Obviously Caleb doesn't want to be found," said Will as she trudged along behind Cornelia. The blonde rolled her eyes and continued walking down the alley way.
"He can only run for so long. We'll find him sooner or later," replied Cornelia breezily. Will made a face. They had been searching for Caleb for the past two hours. It was apparent that he had found a good hiding spot and was sticking to it. Or at least that's what Will kept telling herself.
"Cornelia, can't you wait for Caleb back at the restaurant? I'm pretty sure he'll turn up there eventually.
"Yeah, but I want you to talk to him for me, remember? You and Caleb are such good friends, Will. I just want to know whether or not he loves me or if he has some Twinkie on the side."
"Right, because we all know that Caleb would choose another girl over you. Come on, you don't honestly think that Caleb would dump you, do you? In his defense I have to say that you were pretty unreasonable on your date. Accusations hardly turn into goodnight kisses."
Cornelia sighed as she came to a halt midway down the alley. Turning to Will she murmured, "I know. I feel really bad about being so mean to him, but really, I couldn't help it. I'm a naturally jealous person. All I want is a second chance, one to make up for last night—unless he did find another girl! Then I am so gonna kick his ass!"
"Oy vey." Will rubbed her forehead feeling a headache coming on. There was no way Cornelia would ever forgive her if she found out that it was Will who was the other girl in Caleb's life. On the other hand, Will did have people on her side. Irma, Taranee, and Hay-Lin were busy trying to figure out what kind of spell had been put on Will and Caleb—as well as exactly why the spell had been implemented. In the meanwhile, Caleb had been warned via Blunk to stay as far away from Will as possible. Or at least until the spell could be broken. Unfortunately, Cornelia was on a roll; she had dragged Will to every possible hideout in town.
"Hey," Cornelia brightened up and glanced around with eagerness. "Do you smell that?"
"Smell what?" Will sniffed the air and then wrinkled her nose in disgust. "God, that smells horrible!"
"Blunk, we can smell you so get your butt out here, and you better bring Caleb with you!" ordered Cornelia placing her hands on her hips and tapping her foot on the ground impatiently. With what seemed to be an air of reluctance, Caleb and Blunk crawled out from behind a trash receptacle only a few feet away from Will and Cornelia. Instinctively, Will took a small step forward. Cornelia didn't notice as she was busy squealing in delight and throwing herself into Caleb's arms the second he was on his feet.
Clearing her throat and trying to avoid Caleb's eyes, Will took a few steps backwards until she was bunched up against the brick wall. "Well, it looks like my work here is done. I'll just leave the two of you alone and be on my way…" her voice trailed off as Cornelia glared at her.
"Oh no you don't," warned the blonde girl stepping away from Caleb and going over to grab Will by the arm. "You have to talk to Caleb, remember? Blunk and I will wait for you guys in the park until you're done talking."
Caleb waved his hands in front of him in an attempt to ward off Cornelia and Will. "Nah, I'm good. Maybe we can, uh, talk, later?" he asked hopefully. But Cornelia would have none of it; she simply pushed Will into Caleb. Caleb caught Will as she stumbled, and slowly felt all logic flee his mind.
"Uh, sure, Corny…we'll catch you…later," mumbled Will breathlessly as she allowed herself to get lost in Caleb's eyes. Cornelia didn't even hear her as she was already on her way out of the alley with Blunk protesting in her arms.
"Let Blunk go! Got to stay with Caleb! Got to protect Caleb from himself!"
"Hi," breathed Caleb brushing a strand of hair away from Will's face.
"Hi."
"We're gonna be in a lot of trouble later, aren't we?"
Will closed her eyes as Caleb rested his forehead on hers. "Yeah," she replied quietly. "A lot of trouble."
"Remind me to thank Phobos later," whispered Caleb lowering his mouth towards Will's.
"Mmm." Whatever Will had been planning on saying was drowned out in the resulting kiss. Will felt Caleb wrap his arms around her as he pulled her closer to his chest. Caleb softly nibbled on her bottom lip until Will gave a quiet moan and opened her mouth wider for him to access.
All senses disappeared for the couple as Caleb's lips began the descent down to Will's throat, pulling down her turtleneck, revealing the pale flesh and, of course, hickey. Will's eyes fluttered open briefly as the love bite began to burn, starting a fire deep within both Will and Caleb. What had started out as a gentle tug of hearts was quickly becoming a heated passion.
Caleb barely comprehended the fact that Will's lips had found his own again. All his mind could register was the fact that her kisses were becoming more urgent. The older teen felt his body being pushed against the brick wall and Will pressing her petite frame into his. Sensations he had thought he would never feel with her began to stir. Will's mouth hungrily searched Caleb's as her hands tried to unbutton his coat. Caleb didn't miss a beat as his hands reached down to help with the offending buttons, his mouth never leaving Will's. The second his coat was unbuttoned it was pulled off and tossed to the ground; but, Will and Caleb were already working on Will's coat.
In the deep recesses of her mind, Will struggled to resurface with clarity—anything that would end this kiss. She knew things were getting out of hand…unfortunately, other forces were at work. And as luck would have it, when Caleb's hands touched the skin underneath her turtleneck, Will decided all logic could rot in hell.
Caleb's fingers brushed Will's skin, moving further and further up her shirt just as her small hands were working their way up his chest. Sure this was wrong…but given the choice between spells and reality, Caleb was going to have to root for the spells this time around. Who knew evil could be so satisfying?
Just as Caleb's fingers began to fumble with the back of Will's bra, a single thing shattered through the foggy minds of the ensnared couple, briefly breaking the enchantment.
"What the hell is going on here?"
Cornelia.
A/N—It's been a little while…sorry about that. Hope this keeps y'all busy until a later date. Thanks for the great reviews.
