A secret mission to find love! Part 5
A Caleb and Will story
Chapter 5: can you make me feel whole again or will you just hurt me?
The next day Will and Caleb were sitting around the kitchen table drinking coffee and reading the newspaper [well Will was]; Caleb sat sipping his coffee and lost at thought which Will did not seemed to notice seeing as she was reading about the swimming teams and the cartoon strips.
Caleb thought to himself "what if he would to ask Will to be his girlfriend though it was a big step for him to ask her, not knowing if she would say yes or would she just say no and never speak to him again. This bothered him since last night when he woke up and saw Will asleep on his shoulder, she looked so peaceful so beautiful that made him smile at the thought of her lying on his shoulder without a care in the world sleeping peacefully; so as a rebel he was taking chances he was going to take the biggest one by asking Will that question he hoped she say yes"
Caleb came out of his thoughts then looked up to Will who was still reading the paper not noticing him staring at her; he took a deep breathe before asking "um…Will can I ask you something?"
She now put down the paper looking at him with one eyebrow up then nodded so to say he could ask, "I know you we just made up but I just wanted to ask if you would be my girlfriend" at this point Will was sipping her coffee until he asked her that and just spat out the Coffee in shock by him.
She wiped her mouth then put the cup down the spoke "Caleb how could you ask me that? Does it look like I'm ready to start a new relationship again NO!" she seemed really made at him cause she was standing up and was frowning at him; Caleb took a chance and was facing a anger Will, he could see sparks forming around her hair showing she was really upset.
"why are you so upset, I only asked a simple question and you just start having a fit; does this have to do with Matt for dumping you for you not to date me!" now he was standing up but as he spoke of Matt, Will turned her head with tears forming in her eyes and he knew he over stepped with the Matt subject and just then he heard Will yell.
"SHUT UP! Matt didn't dump me, I let him go so he could follow his dream and DON'T YOU EVER SPEAK ABOUYMATT IN THAT TONE!" this time Will's hair was floating In the air with large sparks of electricity flowing around it; Caleb backed away putting his hands up in a sign of surrender but Will didn't back down, she slowly walked towards him then stopped in front of him pointing to the front door.
"get out before I zap you back to Meridian!" she warned which made Caleb scared but as much as he feared her powers he stood his ground saying "you can't push me away because you love me and I love you and stop pushing people out your life!" he said in a stern voice.
"Just get out! You have no idea what I'm feeling so do me a favor and show yourself out!" she said with tears flowing down her cheeks and he hated to see her cry or any of the Guardian cry because he was the one male in their group to protect them Matt was the other but left leaving him alone with five Guardians to watch out for.
"NO! please tell me how you feel and maybe I will understand better please Will, I hate seeing you cry like this it hurts me so" he said before taking her hands getting a small shock but kept his grip on her hands.
"you're the one who made me cry like this, and how could you understand you could hardly understand Cornelia and we all knew it" she told him with anger and hurt in her eyes and the words she said to him made him grip as he felt like they were knifes thrown at him.
"Cornelia and I had hard time understanding each other a lot but you cleared it up for me and I'm sorry Will I went too far with the Matt subject I didn't know it was you that dumped Matt, we all thought it was him because he's a guy and you never told us about it either" Caleb said looking away from her face that was now staring at him in surprise.
"it was never any of yours or the Guardians business in the first place, and I'm not really mad at you I just…I just don't want to be hurt again, I don't think I could take another heart break like it again" she explained looking down, Caleb turned to stare at her and noticed her hair was back down and all sparks were gone she looked so ashamed by the way she treated him but he did deserve it for pushing her about Matt and a relationship.
Caleb cupped her chine in his hand lifting her face to face him then spoke "no, you were only doing what you could to try not to be hurt; and I know this sounds funny but I was scared I wouldn't be able to love again but you came along and changed it"
Will stared at him blankly then smiled though she felt like crying he seemed to make her smile by this sweet bit of information, she saw that he had seen that what he said made her smile and in return he returned the smile of his own. Before Will had a chance to say something he had leaned in and kissed her gently on the lips to her surprise she returned it wrapping her arms around his neck and he wrapped his around her waist.
The broke the kiss in need of air then Caleb said words to her that she never thought he would say that brought a smile to her face and she simply hugged him saying "thanks for understanding" he hugged her back realizing that she would take time before going out with him but to keep what they had now, he would wait till that time knowing she would become his girlfriend but he had to wait until she would let him fill her heart.
He had slowly began to fill her heart but it would take time before she would let him in and let him compete her emptiness in her life; she was the first Guardian he met and fell in his arms, then he had met the others but he was stupid back then to fall in love with Cornelia Hale but after spending time with Will listening to her confide him in about her and Matt's relationship he slowly began to care more for her not realizing that he would fall in love with her after being dumped by Cornelia.
Their hug seemed to last for hours before they let go then Will suggested to go to the park where they could sit under a tree and relax for the afternoon which sounded pretty good now after their fight that could have ended things for them there and then but due to his stubbornness he stayed and they managed to come to a understanding. Will drank her last bit of coffee before grabbing her coat and Caleb's who threw it to him then walked out the building and Will locked it and they began to head towards the park.
Well walking Will bean to speak "you know I could have killed you if you pushed me farther"
"Yeah but you didn't and you wouldn't hurt you best guy friend" Caleb said in a teasing tone
"don't push it Rebel boy, I might just change my mine" she replied with a smirk forming on her face to his surprise he had one of his own on his face looking down on her, Will hated that about him cause he was always taller then her making her feel really short.
"Will you are still the annoying girl that fell in my arms the day we met" Caleb said with a bigger smirk on his face; "and you're the same argent boy I met would caught me the day we met" Will said with just a bigger smirk then Caleb's; suddenly both burst into laughter at each others remarks but stopped then Caleb turned to stare at Will saying "Will I really like you and wouldn't hurt you in anyway I swear"
"I trust you an all but something about us is just not giving me hope that it won't fall apart" she replied with a frown appearing again but this time she wasn't going all supernova on him like back at the house.
"we can try work on it together like we do in missions in Meridian against Phobos" Caleb reassuring her which seemed to work seeing as she was smiling again and he liked that about her that in any situation she would always find something to smile about.
Caleb wondered if he would ever understand earth girls MINDS, at one point when Will and Matt were still dating he had asked Matt how girls minds worked; the reply he got was not what he expected "I can't even tell how girls minds work but I try my best to stay on the good side of it" Matt had told him which he tired to use when he was with Cornelia and it worked.
But unlike Cornelia, Will was different like when she got mad Will would most likely use her powers on you but Cornelia who insult you then ignore you flat, it Will was happy she would show it by making jokes like Irma but Cornelia would just laugh. In other words Will was not a girl you'd like to get on her bad side, for example Caleb pushed Will so far this morning that she almost used her powers that could probably sent him to hospital so as a reminder [never mess with Will's feelings unless you was to end in hospital.
"Hey Caleb, you ok?" she asked him knocking him out of his thoughts
"yeah, yeah don't worry" Caleb answered he noticed that she had her arms crossed an eyebrow up and was standing in front of him with a fat smirk on her face; "what?" he asked worried about what she was thinking.
"nothing, just wondering if you lost your way, seeing as you were so far out in space" she said to him which confused him completely; "what is that supposes to mean?" he asked not finding her funny in any way.
"it means you're to lost in thought that you didn't even realize we're in the park" she said now leaning closer to his face annoyed at how slow he was in understanding her.
"it's not my fault that you earth people have strange sayings" he said back to her leaning close to her, their faces were inches from each other that neither realized that some people were staring.
"Caleb you're stayed here for about three years and around five girls how can you not understand, even Matt taught you something's about earth sayin' and if you don't get it then look up a dictionary honestly" she yelled at him making Caleb more annoyed with her.
"Well in Meridian, we at lest know what we saying unlike here" he snapped at her which shocked her but she regained herself snapping back at him "YOU'RE NOT IN MERIDAIN MISTER, YOU IN HEATHERFIELD!"
Neither of them took their eyes of each other and neither realized that they were so closer to each others faces that their was no space between them and out of impulse he grabbed Will around the waist and kissed her PASSIONATLY, this took Will back by his impulsiveness that she pushed him away looking angered and if you looked really close you could spot sparks forming around her.
"You impulsive idiot, did it look like I wanted to kiss you answer NO" she was about to slap him but he caught it in his own hand then smirked "but I did and I won"
Will couldn't stand him anymore and sent a shock wave up his arm shocking him, releasing his grip on her and with that she walked off back towards her home not caring if he lost all feeling in his arm [cause eventually it would come back to normal] Caleb was still holding his arm in pain and knew he had really did it and he didn't take Matt's advise and was paying the price for it.
Will was on her way home when she ran into a old friend, she had somehow had to avoid anything concerning Caleb seeing as they had kissed, and he had spent the night at her house and she fell asleep on his shoulder this was not good. "Hey W. how's things going?"
"Oh hey C. its going fine" Will greeted feeling nerves
"I know I haven't been around for a well so I was wondering wanna hang out" Cornelia asked
"Sure, it can take my mind off things {Caleb} so where too" Will said feeling happy that she didn't mention him and it was going good so far.
"How about to the mall?" Cornelia suggested
Will smiled then as they hooked their arms together began to walk towards the mall hopping that Caleb would not follow them their and tell Cornelia he had kissed Will; cause that would be bad for her Ex-boyfriend to start making out with her best friend and was hiding this behind her back {talk about betrayal} Will was hopping with all her heart that Caleb would leave her alone well she was with Cornelia.
To be continued…
Sorry it's short but I couldn't think of more ideas to spice up the situation between Caleb and Will but bring Cornelia in seemed like a start so please tell me what you think!
