LOVE AND JUST

CHAPTER 6: SHOW ME HOW MUCH

WESTBROOK COUNTRYSIDE ~ ( 7:30pm )

"Hi, are you still coming?" a voice on the phone was heard.

"No, I was thinking if you can come over?" Caleb said to the speaker on the phone.

"Are your friends home?" the lady asked.

"No, they just stepped out to have fun," Caleb replied.

"So there's no one?"

"Yes, baby," Caleb assured her.

"Alright, I will be there soon."

"Sure, don't keep me waiting," Caleb said, and a devilish smile appeared on his lips. The call ended.

A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door. Caleb didn't hesitate to check who was there. He knew it was his lover. Unlocking the door, he pulled it open.

A tall, striking lady was seen outside the door. She had dark, curled hair which slid gracefully on her shoulders. A white, curvy woman, the perfect definition of an hourglass body. She wore a very short green dress which hugged her curves firmly. A backless dress that exposed her cleavage — not too much, but just enough to catch attention. Two straps of her dress were tied neatly behind her neck, holding the upper part together. She had black heels on her feet and held a black purse covered in pearls.

Caleb has good eyes. He opened his arms and pulled her into a warm embrace.

"Hey, sweetie," he said, wrapping his hands around her waist.

"Hi, baby," she said in a coy voice. He planted a kiss on her forehead, and put back in place the strands of hair covering her pretty face.

She had a round face with beautiful brown eyes. Her nose was not pointed, neither was it flat. Just the perfect shape for a perfect face. Her lips were thick, covered in red lipstick.

Caleb stared into her eyes. "Haven't you missed me?" he asked her in a soft tone.

"I have, baby," she said, kissing the corner of his lips.

"Come show me how much you've missed me," Caleb whispered in her ear, making chills run down her spine.

"Okay, baby," she said, biting her lower lip and staring into his eyes.

They finally let go of each other. Caleb turned her around and held her waist. Walking slowly and guiding her steps, he nibbled on her ears. They walked past the hall. Sarah's hands covered Caleb's hands which were wrapped around her waist.

Before they could reach his bedroom, Sarah turned to face him and crashed her lips against his. Caleb also responded to her kiss. Tongues fighting like swords. Caleb pinned her against his room door. Putting his hand behind her neck, he kissed her passionately.

"Let's go inside," Sarah muttered.

He turned the door handle and they entered. The kiss became intense. Sarah unbuttoned his shirt, and he untied the knot behind her neck that held her clothes together. Carrying her to bed, the world faded around them.

Laying in bed with his lover, he heard noise outside his room.

"Did you hear that?" he asked in a low tone, almost like a whisper.

"What?" Sarah asked, surprised.

He got out of bed, putting on his slippers.

"Let me see who's there," he said to Sarah, heading to the door.

"No, babe, don't leave me here," Sarah pouted. She didn't want him to leave.

"There's someone in the house, sweetie. I need to check. It could be thieves."

He pressed his right ear against the door to hear what's outside. He didn't hear a thing.

"Wait here, babe," he said to Sarah and left the room.

He walked with steady steps to the hall. It was Damien and Marco.

"Are you guys back already?" he asked them.

"Yeah, things were getting messy," Marco lied. But chaos in a club is inevitable, it happens once in a while.

"Where's Eliza? Is she OK?" Caleb asked, worried.

"Oh yes, she's asleep in her room," Marco said coolly.

"I need to check on her," Caleb said, walking towards her room.

"That wouldn't be necessary. She's tired. Let her rest," Marco said, getting in his way.

"What made her tired?" Caleb asked, surprised.

"She was dancing with the girls," Damien said simply, not wanting Caleb to suspect anything.

"Besides, you seem to be in the middle of something," he assessed him with a smirk.

"What do you mean?" Caleb asked, lost.

"You're sweating. Don't tell me it's because you're worried about your princess," Marco said, teasing.

"Or it's your queen who's making you sweat," Damien said, looking at the black purse on the couch.

They both started laughing, and that was when Caleb realized Sarah had left her purse on the couch.

"You're even shirtless," Marco added, laughing louder.

"You guys are high," Caleb said and picked up the purse. He left them behind and went to his room.

"Baby, who was it?" Sarah asked, still on the bed covered in a blanket.

"My friends are back," Caleb said, joining her in bed.

"So soon?" Sarah asked.

"Yes, dear. You forgot your purse," Caleb said, putting it on the table beside his bed.

"Did they see it?" Sarah asked Caleb.

"Yeah, why do you ask?"

"So they know I'm here?"

"Yes, why?" Caleb asked, surprised.

"What will they think of me?" Sarah said, pouting.

"That you're my girlfriend," Caleb said simply.

"Really?.. Is that what you think? Oh my gosh, I'm doomed," she said, covering her face with her palms. She didn't want them to see her as a w***e. How will she leave now?

"Oh no, you're not, baby," Caleb said, getting under the covers with her.

Later that night, Caleb went out to get water. The lights were off. He walked slowly into the kitchen. After getting some water, he thought of checking up on Eliza.

He walked to her room. At her door, he hesitated to knock, knowing it was very late. He turned the door handle and opened without knocking. He didn't want to wake her up. He walked in. Eliza was on her bed, covered in a blanket. The lights were off. The only light that illuminated the room was the moonlight that came through the windows.

Caleb got closer to her bed and turned on the lamp beside it. It brought out Eliza's pale and innocent face, sleeping peacefully. He bent over to cover her properly with a blanket. He also planted a kiss on her forehead. Then the strong scent hit him.

Eliza still smelled of alcohol. She was brought to her room by Vicky and didn't even take a shower. Vicky just made her bed and put her to sleep. Caleb knew that smell so well, which made his brow furrow. He was angry, but it was late. He can't erupt the house at that hour.

He stared down at his sister quietly, wandering around in her room. He put off the lamp and finally left the room. He got back to his room and locked the door to join his girlfriend in bed.
