Thanks for the reviews! This is a rather short chapter no real meaning behind it but I like it hope you do too.
Chapter 15
The pair had sat in the rain together for a good few hours; both were shivering and sneezing from all the rain. Caleb was holding onto Will for his life she had said it! She told him she loved him and he felt he could rival Hay Lin's flying but right now he knew they had to get out of this rain. Shifting his weight he stood up and the small teen wrapped her arms round his neck muttering about not being able to walk. Sighing but smiling Caleb walked up the side of the slope to get to the pavement, it took a while since the mud was slippery he made it to the top and walked towards the centre of Heatherfield towards Will's apartment.
The pair finally made it to the Vandom's apartment and Will held out her key and opened the door for the pair. Suzanne walked out from her room and was about to yell at Will till she saw it was Caleb and Will together, the former being carried in and placed on the sofa. She reluctantly let go of the tall ex-rebel leader and looked at her mother who had grabbed some towels for the pair of them.
"What happened?" She asked the pair both of whom were drying themselves the best they could but it was a losing battle.
"I met up with Matt and it didn't go so well." Will spoke and Caleb agreed rubbing his bruise he had gotten from the ex. Both noticed and he shrugged it off saying emotions were high, Will lowered her gaze and felt like going after Matt she was now filled with rage and wanted nothing more then to rip his head off.
"Maybe you should take a shower both of you." She saw the looks she was getting and quickly corrected herself.
"Separately." Will told Caleb he should go first but he shook his head, but when Will continued to tell him to go he picked her up and started to carry her to the bathroom.
"Let me go!"
"No way you were out there longer then me, so in you go!" He dumped her in and when she stood up he kissed her on the lips as he turned the water on to warm and Will snapped out of her shock to start yelling at him as he stepped out to let her shower.
He waited in the living room alone since Liam was asleep in Will's room and Suzanne was making some tea to warm them up. He shivered in his wet mud covered cloths when Suzanne walked in she tutted and handed him a mug of hot tea which he accepted and drank from letting the warm liquid warm him up.
"I have some of my boyfriend's cloths here that should fit you." She went into her room with Caleb calling his thanks as Will walked out in a towel and Caleb had to low whistle at her which she blushed and walked into her room slamming her door.
Suzanne had come out with some cloths seeing her daughter walking into her room she smiled and handed the cloths over to the tall green eyed young man. He thanked her and walked inside the bathroom to get warmed up and changed. When he had finished he walked out in the sweatpants and tee shirt that looked a little tight on him due to the muscles he had received from his fighting. Will was sitting on the sofa legs curled under her holding her mug close to her chest.
He smiled at the sight she looked so small and fragile but looks were deceiving and she could be dangerous when angered. His wet cloths were taken from him to be clean and he thanked the older woman who just smiled and shooed him towards the sofa. He took a seat next to the guardian leader and picked up his mug which was slightly cold at his point. He felt the weight next to him move and something leaning against looking down Will was leaning against his shoulder not looking at him but at her half finished tea.
Caleb sighed and relaxed next to her and closed his eyes and didn't see the mother watching the pair listening to them as Will spoke.
"I was lying before." She looked up at him her large reddish brown eyes bore into his forest green eyes.
"About?"
"Hating you I don't not really; I was scared that it felt right. Like we were meant to be, listen to me I sound like a school girl." She joked slightly causing him to smile and she continued.
"I mean I think I always liked you even before you and Cornelia were together. I just didn't tell you in time but then Matt came and I thought it was a faze and I felt happy. But then when he started forgetting things and we started to talk those feelings came back and was still here maybe even stronger then before." She finished her speech and watched his reactions but all he did was wrap an arm round her and whisper.
"I felt the same since the day I caught you in that pit." Will smiled into him as they sat in her apartment their son was in the next room. And for once she felt like nothing could go wrong.
Suzanne smiled at the scene her little girl was growing up; going into her bedroom she looked over the crib where Liam was sleeping peacefully. She traced a line against his face, she couldn't believe he was here she thought she had lost her daughter but she got her back with a grandson to boot she was the happiest she had been in a long time.
It was getting late and Caleb knew he should get moving they were still sitting together on the sofa neither had spoken but they didn't need to both were content how they were. Moving slightly Will look up at him.
"I have to go its late." He reluctantly got up and Will also stood.
"I'll open a portal for you." Her tone was a sad one as she went to get the heart which was in her room. Bumping into her mother Suzanne told them Caleb has to stay his cloths are here.
"He will take the sofa." Walking into the bedroom Suzanne came out with blankets and pillows for him.
"Hope you will be comfortable here."
"I will I have slept on worse things." He took the stuff as Will went to get Liam fed and washed but as she took him to the bathroom Caleb stole him and went in to wash him but Will was at his heels telling him how to do it. The dark haired woman smiled and went to check on the washing.
It was at three when Caleb was woken up by weight added to the sofa opening his eyes he made out the shape of Will who was sitting near his feet. Sitting up he rubbed his eyes.
"What's wrong?"
"I thought about how will Cornelia take us being well I guess…"
"In love?" He saw her nod and he opened up his arms where she crawled into his arms and he hugged her.
"Don't worry we will face it together."
"Promise?" Her voice almost sounded like a child's.
"Promise." As he finished the word he felt Will's lips on his own he was more then happy to respond and she broke apart and got up only to get under the blanket with him. He wrapped his arms around her and she used his chest as a pillow.
That was how they were found in the morning by Suzanne who smiled but left them sleep both wore a face of contentment and Will seemed totally relaxed. Drinking her morning coffee the woman prepared Liam's bottle for his morning feed. Walking out and into the bedroom she saw the pair moving, must be waking up. She quickly left them she had heard them talking early in the morning and knew they hadn't done anything wrong.
Will opening her eyes to feel herself moving up and down and a heartbeat in her ear, shifting her head she saw Caleb's sleeping face. Reaching up she brushed a stray hair from his face and he started to stir. Will pulled her hand back and placed it on his bare chest; she had taken note of that last night. It was almost like a reply of a year ago waking up like this but this time the sight of a sleeping Caleb brought a smile to her face. Reaching up again her hand was caught by Caleb who opened an eye and smiled at her.
"You know that isn't very fair thing to do to a guy."
"Can't help it you look so cute when asleep and so perfect to touch." She rested her head on her hand and Caleb held onto her other one but had placed it down but was still holding it.
"We should get up."
"Yeah we should." Caleb looked down at his red headed angel who looked so perfect at the moment he didn't want to move. Neither made any attempt to move away.
"I thought we should move to get going to well I don't know."
"I do, tell the others about what happened." Will buried her face into the well muscled chest taking in his smell his hand gently made its way though her hair.
"Do we have too? Cant we just stay here?" The young man asked looking at the ceiling.
"We have to."
"Fine let's go to the firing squad." He sighed dramatically causing Will to giggle into his chest.
