him.
    “Out!
Now!”
    “Nope,
I’m pretty cozy here, but you’re welcome to join me.” He patted the spot next to
him. I glared at him and his smile just grew bigger. I went to my dresser
across from the bed and grabbed some clothes. As I went back in my bathroom to
change, I could feel his eyes on me the entire way.
    I
stayed in the bathroom longer than necessary. I knew I shouldn’t have been, but
I was nervous to go back out there. Everything was so different now that I
knew, especially hanging around Caleb. I tried to occupy myself by brushing
through my hair and even went as far as rearranging my cabinet. I knew I
couldn’t stay in here all day, but I sure could try.
    His
knock came a couple of minutes later. “Allie…? I’m sorry, that was stupid. I
was just messing around. I shouldn’t have been in here. I didn’t mean to make
you uncomfortable.”
    He
stayed by the door and I couldn’t help but feel bad. I yanked open the door and
ended up being very close to him. If I tilted my head up, our noses would
probably hit. “No, you didn’t make me uncomfortable. I promise, it’s just…
different and confusing. I feel like all these emotions for you, emotions that
I didn’t even know I had, just came rushing out, and I don’t know what to do
with them. It’s like one moment I’m hating you and the next all I want to do is
kiss you.” I was rambling, but that didn’t stop me. “And you're you, Caleb
Winter, all-American quarterback, and I’m just me. I don’t understand any of
this, and it’s just a lot to take on.”
    He
took a step closer, “Hate me or kiss me? And what do you want to do right now?”
    I
sighed, I knew I probably sounded crazy, but I didn’t care. “Kiss you,
definitely kiss you.” I so did not just say that, but his chuckle proved that I
did. I probably sounded like one of those girls who was desperate for their boyfriend to pay them attention. Oh god, I probably sounded
like Sierra. I wanted to run away, but his body blocked my only escape.
    We
started a little game, he took a step forward, I took
a step back. Too bad the game ended when I had nowhere else to go and my back
hit the wall. He took the last step forward and moved his hands to cup my face.
I felt my knees buckle as his face neared mine. His eyes wandered my face and
his breath was tickling my lips. I wanted to kiss him so badly, I don’t think I’ve ever wanted something so much. I was so close to getting my
wish when the downstairs front door slammed shut.
    Brody’s voice came loud and clear, “Hey! I’m
home.”

 
    Chapter Sixteen
    Mine
    Caleb

 
    You’ve
got to be kidding me. Again. I don’t know how many times someone was going to
stop me from kissing Allie. This was Brody’s second time, and it better be his
last. I pulled slightly away from Allie and dropped my head so it laid close to her ear. I could hear her breathing heavily
and I knew her heart was beating faster than normal. I gently placed my lips on
the spot right above her collarbone and felt her sigh against me. At least she
felt the pull too. She hasn’t mentioned our relationship once before her little
rant, and it had me worrying. Denying your pair was rare, but it happened. Just
like Brody and Sierra.
    “Come
on,” I wrapped my hand around hers and pulled her downstairs before I changed
my mind and locked us in her room. Downstairs, Brody was eating take out from
The Grill. Two other bags were set on the table for Allie and me. She went to
take a seat next to Brody, but I pulled her down onto my seat with me, which
earned me a glare from Brody. Whatever, he deserved it.
    I
opened my bag to find two burgers and I was grateful. Even though I had just ate , I was starving. Allie looked at all the food with a
bewildered expression, but didn’t complain as she dug into a burger. When all
the food was gone, I sat back satisfied, pulling Allie with me until her back
was against my chest. “Did we really eat all that food?” she
