Chapter 3
2053 Words
"I thought you're going to order food?"
"Should I still? Someone bought you one already." He said and looked at the tray in front of me.
I rolled my eyes. He's overreacting. I divided the meal and gave him one.
"No thanks. I won't eat the food that came from your suitor."
"Why don't you just shut up and eat what I gave you? That's already mine so it came from me, stupid. If you won't eat the food then leave it."
What a tiring day. Almost all of our subject gave us assignments. This is why I don't like weekdays especially MWF.
Caleb texted that he'll met me outside the school. He's so easy to spot when he's outside, almost every girl student is looking at him. Can't he just stay inside the car and not show his face off? So annoying.
We went straight home since I have a lot of things to do.
"Thanks." I said and get my keys from his hand.
"You forgot this."
He lift up a big plastic bag full of gifts and foods that I've gathered from my table earlier.
"Ah!"
I snatched it away from his hand.
"Why do you accept them? Do you like them?"
Why does he care? So what if I want to accept them? Like it's gonna affect him, duh?
"I don't." I said referring to the second question.
I don't know, but I feel like I have to answer every damn question from him.
"If you don't like them, reject them. Don't give them hope." He said slightly mad based on the way he talks.
He left and went inside. What's wrong with him? Is he jealous? I just shrugged and went to my room. I opened my laptop and start working for my thesis. Chapter 1 and 2 are assigned to me. My groupmate will take care of the rest.

It's been a couple of hours, but the only thing I typed on my laptop is the Review of Literature. We already did this on grade 11, but I couldn't make it right.
I wonder if Caleb knows any of these. I mean he looks older than me and I'm pretty sure he's done this before. Wait, why am I thinking of asking help from him? But I can't finish the rest of my homework if I'm stuck in here. It's Wednesday and the deadline is on Thursday.
I need to finish this today. it.
I walk out of my room and went straight to the kitchen. Sweet treats ain't gonna make me full.
"Caleb?" I called.
Just to make sure he's really the one cooking at our kitchen.
He looked back and it was really him. He didn't say anything and turned of the stove. He transferred the pasta on the plate. Oh my God! Carbonara! I gulped as I look how creamy and yummy it looks.
"C-can I have some?" I said, almost begging.
"You received so many things today. I won't let you have mine." He pouted. That's so childish!
"If you won't accept anything from them then you can taste my... cooking."
"You should've inform me earlier!"
It smells so good! I was about to walk towards it, but he hold my arms and pushed me slightly as he put the plate away. I pouted more as I stare on the Carbonara.
I keep reaching for it and realized that our faces are close to each other. I couldn't take my eyes off him. He's so beautiful and his skin is pale and his lips are red as cherries.
Does he use lip balm? I slowly move closer and I felt his warm wet lips on mine. I closed my eyes as he started to kiss me back. His hands slowly touched both of my waist and carried me up to the counter part kitchen.
"Promise me you won't receive anything from anyone."
I nodded. I don't care if we get caught here anymore. His kisses went down to my neck. His warm breathing on my ears gives shivers to my body. He parted my sleeveless shirt that gave him access to my naked breast.
"Ah... baby..." I released a moan when I felt his wet tongue on it while his other hand was caressing my legs. This felt so much better than we first met. He went back to my lips. He was hungry to my kisses, and so am I.
"Celena? Are you here?"
We rushed to fix ourselves. He help me come down from the counter part and fixed my sleeveless dress since my breast is still showing earlier.
"Oh! You're both here?"
"Y-Yes, Caleb was cooking carbonara."
"That's great. I would like to taste what you've made Caleb, but I'm afraid I can't since it's night already. Anyways, I'm just looking for my medicine. You guys have a nice night." Mom smiled.
That smile... I know she's expecting something. Well you interrupted, mom. I couldn't face Caleb since I'm so embarrassed right now. I'm the one who initiated the kiss.
"Do you still want to eat?" He smirked.
I pouted. My eyes slowly went down to his sweat pants because the bulge is distracting me. He's having a boner! Did mom saw it? I saw him slowly followed my gaze.
"What a naughty young lady," I looked away.
"I-It wasn't on purpose! It's distracting."
"Really? But I'm glad you're showing some sign that you kinda miss it."
I throwed him a box of tissue and he caught it.
"I'm kidding!" He chuckled.
"Is that... fine? I mean your..." I was referring to his you know what I mean.
"I'm fine. Just don't do anything stupid again."
He placed the plate on the table with a fork and gave it to me. My face light up as I took a first bite. It's so delicious! He really knows how to cook!
"How does it taste?"
I put my thumbs up as I eat the pasta. So good!
"I taste better," He winked.
I throwed him the same box of tissue, but he just released a bark of laughter as he get his own plate. He's still a jerk! We transferred to the counter area near the kitchen. I sat on the high chair and he's standing in front of me.
"D-do you know how to make a thesis?" I asked.
I'm too desperate to finish it. I should've started it earlier than the day before the deadline.
"Hmm... Yes? I guess."
"Really? Can you help me?"
He looked at me.
"I think... show me the title you came up with."
He sound so smart. Well I won't be surprise if he is, he doesn't look like a guy who slacks off at school. I wonder what course did he graduated?
"They're the ones who came up with it, I'm just assigned to do the Chapter 1 and 2."
I let him enter my room. I showed him the title and the ones I've finished.
"This is what you did for 2 hours? When is the deadline?" He still doesn't forget how to insult me. I pouted.
"Tomorrow."
His eyes widened. What? Was it really that odd? But I do it every time though. I do my home works and seat works right before the deadline.
"T-tomorrow? What the hell Celena?"
"I guess I'm just gonna do it myself then." I frowned.
I was about to pull my laptop away from his hands but he dodged it from me. He sat on my bed and started doing it. I smiled. I get my things out of my bag and sat at the end of the bed. We're now facing each other.
Wait... why am I in the same bed with him? Stupid Celena!
I looked at him and he's serious. He's too focused on what he's doing. I opened my notes to answer the assignments I have.
Ah! My back hurts in this position. The room is so quiet. Maybe I'm just used to him being talkative all the time.
I stretched out and lie down with my chest. My back really hurts on sitting there. I placed the notes in front of me. My bed is bog so the space between us is enough.
I saw him looked at me. I followed his eyes to see what he's looking at 'cause he ain't looking at me. He's looking at my butt! Argh! I throw my notebook right on his face.
"Hey! Can you stop being a pervert?"
"What? What's up with your position?" He chuckled.
"My back is hurting! And duh this is my room, I can do whatever I want."
Wait.. that's not really nice thing to say to someone I slept with.
"Really?" He smirked.
"Argh! Just stop!"
He laughed. I hope you choke on your own saliva! I rolled my eyes and fixed my position.
"Okay.! Okay! I won't look anymore." He said.
Hours passed and I'm starting to get sleepy. My eyes keep closing as I do my assignments. I opened my eyes and it's already morning. Wait... morning?!
I looked at Caleb who's laying down in my bed and I'm almost at the top of his body. My legs and arms are wrapped around him.
I rolled to the side and stood up.
"Hey!"
"hmm... what?" He said in a sleepy tone. He's awake! I can tell that he haven't slept yet.
"Did you finish the thesis?" I asked.
Tell me he finished it. Please!
"Of course, I even did all of your assignments since you fell asleep."
Really? He finished all of that? I finished 2-3 home works last night and still have 5 unfinished. I looked at my notes and he really finished it all! The flash drive is also beside it. Oh my God!
"Thank you!" I said and hugged him with joy.
I slowly loosen my arms as I realized that was not appropriate at all.
"That's it? I haven't even slept yet." He pouted and then smirked.
"For everything that you've done to me, I can say that everything's fair now. Not quite, but I'll accept it and you slept beside me so... bye."
I put all the things on my bag and ran towards the bathroom to get dressed. He haven't slept, so he knows how I cling myself to him? Oh my God!
I pulled my hair hair out of embarrassment. I still have to go to school which is great so I could avoid him.
"Good morning po,"
('po' is a form that indicates respect or politeness in the Philippines.)
I finished my food quickly so I won't get caught by Caleb. Everyone is looking at me like I'm a weird person. I ran so fast with the car key on my hand.
"Ah!" I bumped into someone as I ran towards my car. I know who it is.
"Nice try."
I pouted as I moved away from him. I could never get away from this guy.
"Let's just go," I said, pissed.
"Okay miss." He chuckled.
I rolled my eyes and sat on the back seat. He looked at me so I raised my eyebrow.
"What?"
"What am I? Your driver?"
"Well obviously, yes."
"Just... stop messing with my mind. I'm clearing it right here, right now."
He just laughed at me and drove. Isn't he tired? I mean he finished all my school works and he haven't slept yet. Our eyes met on the rear mirror, I moved my gaze away.
He stopped when we reached the school.
"Thank you... for helping me." I said and ran like a kid inside the gate of my school.
Shocks! I just thanked the guy who betrayed me!
"Hey!"
I turned when someone called me from behind.
I'm still catching my breath as I responded, "R-Raven! Hi!"
"Uh... I just want to ask if I can take you out for lunch after class?"
"Okay..." I said and smiled.
I have nothing to do later. I finished--I mean Caleb finished all my school works.
"Okay? Really?"
He sounds so excited. I chuckled and nodded. He said he will wait outside my room after class.
"Hey! Did you finish the thesis? Can you help me please? Just this part--"
"I don't know how to do it." I said to Laura.
