Wow you guys are awesome. As requested, here's the next chapter. I hope you all enjoy it and as always please review. They are always welcomed.
The next morning Sarah woke up to the ringing of her cell phone. Groaning, she rolled over to face her alarm clock. It was seven in mornings; far too early to be waking up on a Sunday. After staying out late to hunt in the forest she didn't get more than five hours of sleep and it didn't help that she got back from Nicky's so late last night. She let out a long sigh and checked her phone: one new text message.
Hey. Sorry but I can't take you into town 2day
But I got u a new ride. B ready in 10.
Love Ty
PS Don't b mad him. This was my idea.
Just great! Sarah jumped out of bed and rushed to the shower. She rushed back and started drying her hair. She straightened it and decided to leave it down. She quickly slipped into a pair of dark jeans and a strapless red shirt when there was a small knock on her door. Curious to see who Tyler had sent as his replacement, Sarah rushed to the door.
"Hi," Caleb replied, giving her a small smile.
"Caleb?"
A smirk that would have done Reid proud spread across his face. "Yeah, that would be me. Don't tell me you forgot you're Sarah."
She laughed and replied, "No, I just didn't expect Ty to send you."
"Well at your service for the day."
"Great. Let me just grab me stuff." Sarah grabbed her phone from the nightstand, slipped it into her favorite black purse with her wallet, and donned a pair of bright red flip-flop. She locked the door and followed Caleb out to his mustang. They walked in silence all the way out to the school parking lot. Once again, Caleb ─ ever the gentleman ─ opened her door for her.
"So, where do you want to go first," he asked, pulling out of the lot. He immediately got his answer from Sarah's hungry stomach.
"Ummm….how about we have breakfast first?"
Caleb chuckled, "Sure." He drove towards a small diner just ten minuets away form the academy. They both took a seat cross from each other in a booth near the back. A waitress came a few minuets later and they both ordered the house special.
"I'll be back in a few," the waitress replied. Caleb leaned back and watched Sarah. She was obviously nervous. Her hands weren't still from more than three seconds at a time and she wouldn't look him in the eye.
"I'm sorry," she all at once blurted out.
Caleb sighed. "Don't be."
"But─"
He held up his hand. "No, I get it. I was moving too fast. You shouldn't be the one apologizing. I'm sorry." Both went silent for a moment as the waitress returned and place their food on the table.
"Thanks Caleb."
His face broke out to the first smile she had seen since last night. "Don't mention it. Now eat before it gets cold and don't even think about reaching for your purse; my treat."
They finished their meal and after Caleb tipped the waitress they headed over to the local convenience store. Sarah spent the entire day laughing and flirting with Caleb as she finished her school shopping. They went to three other stores and then later spent the afternoon window shopping together. They talked about everything and anything that came to their minds. Both stated away from the family subject. Before they knew it, twilight came and both were starving. They went back to the diner. This time Sarah treated Caleb; threatening to kill him if he reached for his wallet. Caleb drove Sarah back to school and walked her to her dorm.
"Thanks for taking me around town today."
"It was no big deal. I had a great time spending the day with you."
Sarah laughed and replied, "Well it's nice to know I'm not that bad of company."
"So, tomorrow's your first day huh."
She let out a groan. "Please don't' remind me."
"Come on it won't be that bad.'
"I guess."
"And you'll have me walking you to every class."
"Oh really?"
"Yup, every princess needs an escort," He said, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.
"Oh I can think of a better word than escort," she said.
"What's that?"
Sarah leaned in so that she could whisper in his ear, "How about boyfriend?"
Caleb just stared into her eyes for a few moments and his lips met hers and he wrapped his arms around her waist. Neither of them pulled apart until oxygen became and issue.
Caleb pulled back so that their foreheads were touching and murmured, "That sounds a lot better." He leaned in to kiss her again.
"I think I better go if I want to get up for school tomorrow," she said, laughing.
"Alright. I'll be here bright and early to walk you to your first class tomorrow."
He kiss her chastely on her lips again before the new couple said their goodnights and went their separate ways.
Monday morning Sarah awoke to a steady knocking on her door. She buried her herself in her warm comforter and ignored the impatient knocking.
"Princess, you better be up and ready when I get back otherwise I'm sending Reid in to get you up and ready," Caleb threatened. It worked. Sarah was up and in the shower within minuets. Twenty minuets later she was dressed in her uniform and putting the final touched on her make-up when there was a knock at the door.
"It's open," she called. A smiling Caleb walked in with two cups of coffee in his hands.
"Morning boyfriend," she said, giving him a hug and grabbing her cup of coffee.
He gave her a quick kiss on the lips and replied, "Morning girlfriend."
"I'm almost ready." Sarah finished her make-up and grabbed her backpack as Caleb walked out into the hall. She locked the door and they both made their way to Sarah's first class which was AP English Language. Luckily, both Sarah and Caleb had that class first period so they would be together.
"So, are you ready for your first day," Caleb asked as he opened the classroom door for her.
"As ready as I'll ever be," she replied, causing Caleb to chuckle.
