Chapter 6

Anger...jealousy....what ever the hell were they feeling...it was making me squirm . The tension was so thick .

"Caleb meet Mason. Mason Caleb. He is my roommate. And Caleb this is a friend of mine. I spent the night at his house because"

"WHAAATT!" that was Caleb...

"Let me finish you madman. I spent the night there because I was not feeling well and kind of fell unconscious and Mason was with me but he did not know where I lived so he took me to his house".

"Oohh.. Well now Mason can go. I'll take care of you".

It was awkward but for some reason I felt very defensive...

"No... If Mason wants he can stay for sometime".

"And do what exactly....Come on Ella.... you should take rest ....with Mason here you will not be able to".

"It's right. I should get going ".

Alright....it made me a tad bit sad.

"Alright.. If you say so".

"Bye Elle. I'll call you ".

"Ohk Mason..Yeah ..Bye".

"And I am off to bed."

"Wait! Are you feel alright ? You know what , don't go to your room just lay down on the sofa and I'll make something for you to eat ."

Well , I being me was standing there like he had an extra head. But yeah it would have been less shocking ... cause I know that for the life of me and the continuation of the man kind Caleb CAN'T cook. It was one of the first things I learned about him.

"I am fine... I just ate from Mason's house and I am not hungry. And when did you learn to cook? "

He stood there awkwardly scratching the back of his neck and murmured, " I still don't know. There is some canned soup and some leftovers of last night's pizza."

I couldn't help man... I burst out laughing and let me tell when I laugh the sound is enough to wake up the entire neighbourhood . He turned beet red and when I looked his face it was enough for to roll on the floor and laugh with tears coming out of my eyes. I bet you think I am a psychopath.

I stood up and walked to my room holding my stomach, " Ohh it's alright Caleb. I don't wanna die from being poisoned by a soup from a measly can because my roommate couldn't make it right."

And laughing I entered my room and locked it . Put on my pajamas yeah I know it's morning but I am really tired .

Right when my head touched my pillow my phone began to ring . I groaned because I didn't know where it was.

It was on my bed itself . I took the call without looking the number .

"Hello" it was kind of muffled by my pillow.

"Er.. hello?"

"Mason??"

"Yes . Ella are you alright? Do you want me to come there ?"

"No no noo , I am alright I was just lying on bed . "

" Are you alright ? "

" Yess Mason. I swear if you ask me that one more time I am going to smack you senseless , I don't care if it's through the phone. "

"Alright you mad woman. Jeez I was just checking. By the way I need to talk to you about something important ."

"Ok..."

"Not through the phone I need to meet you ."

"Alright. When?"

"How about tonight? I'll pick you up at 7, if that's okay with you ?"

"Like a date?" My mouth blurted out before consulting with my brain and well now I froze and was becoming rather hot on my face.

" I am sorry ,really sorry . It kind of came out . Never mind . You probably don't want to go out with a psycho. Ohh my godd . I am rambling with you still on the phone ."

I stopped because I heard him laughing like really happy laugh and let me tell you it was beautiful but I was kind of embarrassed...and he kept on laughing.

"Alright that's enough..." but no it wasn't for him cause he was still laughing...

" Lady if you want to go on a date just tell me .. I'll take you out ."

" Good bye Mason" and began to cut his call.

"Sorry Ella. It's definitely a date ."

"No I don't want you to take me out just because I blurted something."

"No , I want to take you out. Will you go out with me Ella?"

"Yes ."

"Alright then, it's a date. I'll see you tonight. Bye ."

"Bye, Mason"

Well that was the end of my sleep.

Ooh I am just kidding sleep comes first but it took a hell of time for me to fall asleep . I almost slept it in. I woke up just an hour before my date . I don't know I felt really happy . But the selection of a piece of cloth was not a piece of cake let me tell you. Finally deciding on a white turtleneck sweater and black jeans with my red converse . It was almost December and it's cold let me tell you. But I didn't want to look like a hobo while Mason looks like a Greek sculpture in normal clothes.

With two minutes left and feeling a little good about my self , I went to the living room .

"Where are you going ?"

" Hey , I didn't see you. I am going out with Mason."

At that Caleb's eyes bulged out and was afraid they were gonna roll out of his sockets

"With whooo?"

"Mason. And what is it with the both of you ."

"Even if I don't show that I care, I really care for you Ella", it was my turn to bulge my eyes , "like a sister Ella. Oh my God, what did you think? So anyway I don't want to see you get hurt by some idiot whom you just met... Alright some idiot you've known for some time."

I chuckled and hugged him. He returned the hug .

" I kind of really like him Caleb and I am really afraid about it. I know I am not that beautiful but it just feels right."

He took my head in his hands and said ,"You are beautiful. And don't let anyone make you feel like you are not . If anyone does that just tell me and I'll take care of him . "

I just smiled at him.

Right then the bell rang and I ran to open the door .

Oh my ! Oh my! Now that is what I was talking about.
