Brandon and Callie: Outlaws- Chap 20
I DON'T OWN THE FOSTERS!
"So, how long are you staying?" Callie asked. She put Anabeth in the car seat and gave her a toy.
"A week or two," Melody said, in between kisses with Brandon.
"Brandon, can you watch her for a quick second while I make her a bottle?"
"Yeah," he pulled away from Melody. "Sure."
"So, did you miss me?"
"Lots," he said, lying.
"I missed you so much," clinging her arms around his neck, he pulled them off.
"Why didn't you tell me that you were coming earlier?"
"Well, then it wouldn't have been a surprise, right?" she noticed that he wasn't as excited as she'd hope he would be.
"I guess not, but we're really not fit to have anyone living with us right now. I'm really busy with school, too."
"No worries. My dad talked to Lena and she said that I could also go to school for the time that I am here, and my dad fixed a place for me to stay."
"Brandon," Callie yelled. "Can you help me?"
"Coming," he shouted back. "Can you watch her? I'll be back in two seconds," he asked Melody.
"Sure. I love kids," she smiled and he ran into the kitchen.
"What's up?"
"I can't find the god damn milk."
"It's right here," he said, opening the refrigerator and opening a box inside there. "Lena likes to have it in a contained space, something about… I don't know."
"Thank you, now you can get back to your girlfriend."
"Callie," he looked outside. "I want to be-" he started to whisper, but Callie stopped him.
She started heating up the milk. "We can talk about this later, please just go look after Ana until the milk is finished."
Brandon nodded and did what he was asked.
"Lena, when do you think that progress report will be done?" Monte came in the room and asked.
"I can have it done, maybe by the day after tomorrow.
"That would be okay with me, but the board would like it tomorrow."
"Of course they do. Then, I have to work all night," she said. "But, you know, anything for the school."
"Maybe, if you want, we can work on it together? I think that it'll go faster."
"Yeah, sure. I just need to call Stef and tell her I'll be working late."
"Okay," went to the door. "I was thinking Chinese?"
"Sure," Lena smiled.
"I'll call you when I've settled in, okay?" Melody asked, standing in the door.
"Yeah," he said, kissing her.
"Maybe I can come over for dinner."
"Maybe, we'll see. See you later."
Brandon closed the door and went into the living room. Everyone was home now and Lena was starting dinner, so Brandon decided to talk to Callie before dinner.
"Callie?" Brandon asked when he came into the room. "Mariana, an you give us a minute?"
"Yeah, sure. Mom asked me to set the table anyway." Mariana smiled at Callie and stood up from her bed.
"Mariana," Callie said. "Wait up." She stood up and followed Mariana out.
Just before Callie passed Brandon he said, "Can we talk?"
"Maybe later."
"Brandon, where are you going?" Stef said when Brandon came down the stairs.
"Melody's visiting. I told her I'd come by after dinner," Brandon reacher for the door.
"Uhm," Stef said.
"What?"
"Can you stay home tonight?"
"Why?"
"Well, mama needed to work late tonight, so I would like to have all my babies under one roof."
"Sure mom," he kissed her cheek and ran back upstairs.
Brandon came upstairs and decided to see if Callie was ready to talk, so he went to her room.
"Callie, can we talk?"
"Tomorrow. We have homework and things to do for the dance."
"Yeah, sure. I'll just come find you at school."
He went out. Why didn't she want to talk to him?
"What was that about?" Mariana asked after Brandon closed the door.
"I don't know," Callie paused. "We had a huge fight and then he kissed me and…"
"He kissed you!?"
"Shh, Mariana."
"Sorry."
"But, yes, he kissed me."
"Oh my god. Did he say anything afterward?"
"No. Melody interrupted us."
"Oh, that bitch. Sorry…"
"She's actually sweet."
"I know. I meant figuratively speaking. Anyway, why don't you want to talk to him about it?"
"I don't know."
"Callie, he wants to be with you, finally, so-"
"Maybe he doesn't. Maybe this is like what happened at the movie theatre or at his birthday party."
"What if it isn't like that. He seemed pretty upset that you didn't want to talk to him."
"Well, I don't care."
"Yes you do, I can see it in your face."
"Fine, maybe I do, but he can stand to suffer a little."
"Callie."
"Mariana, it's not up for discussion. It's my life."
"Yeah, but with two of my favorite people."
"It's not your choice to make."
"Well, I can at least try to convince you."
"Mariana, just leave it alone. I don't want to talk about it anymore."
"Whatever."
"Callie," Wyatt called when he saw her come down the hall.
"You stayed in town."
"I did. All thanks to you. I realized that what you said was true."
"Well, you're welcome. What's up?"
"I was wondering if you-"
"Callie," Brandon tapped her shoulder.
She turned around. "Brandon, do you mind? I'm talking to Wyatt."
"I'll wait."
She turned back to Wyatt and rolled her eyes. "You were saying?"
"Never mind. We'll catch up later."
"Sure," she waved as he walked away, then she turned back to Brandon.
"Can we talk?"
"Now?"
"It's lunch. Please, I feel like you've been avoiding me."
"That's because I have."
"Please Callie."
"Fine. Meet me in the music room in about ten minutes. I have to get my lunch from my locker."
"Great."
"So, what's-" Callie saw Melody as she came into the music room. She shook her head, but decided to still go inside.
"Oh," Melody said, pulling away from Brandon. "Hi Callie."
"Melody," she forced a smile. "What are you doing here?"
"I decided to take a little detour of the school. And I am liking it a lot."
"Good. Brandon," Callie nodded towards the hall. "Can I talk to you a quick sec?"
"Sure," he nodded. "I'll be right back," he told Melody and then followed Callie outside.
Callie punched him in the arm.
"Ow," he said. "That hurt."
"So did that," she said, pointing into the music room. "I'd decided to listen to what you had to say and then you invite her?"
"I didn't. She just showed up. What was I supposed to do?"
"I don't know, but did you need to kiss her?"
"Why do you care about who I kiss?"
"Lower your voice, Brandon. People can hear you," she whispered. "And to answer your question, since always."
"Callie…"
"What did you think Brandon? That I never cared when I saw you being affectionate with Lou? Or her? Or even Talya for that matter."
"Why did you care about Talya?"
"Because I cared about you, you moron," he looked at her. "Don't give me that look."
"Callie…"
"And don't 'Callie…' me."
Brandon looked around and then grabbed Callie's hand, but she pulled away.
"I can't Brandon. Not here and not with…" she nodded towards the music room.
"But I can," he said, taking her hand again.
Callie sighed. "I just… I don't…" she looked down.
"Callie," Brandon put a finger under her chin and tilted her head up. "Look at me."
So, she did.
"Brandon, Callie," Melody shouted, Callie quickly pulled away from Brandon. "Are you guys deaf? The bells ringing."
"I should… I should get to class," Callie said in a shaky voice. "See you after school."
