Flushed Red

Christy's Pov

I really liked Axaelia, just the type of girl I'd want to hang out with, Skylar and she will be coming to the skate park, for skateboarding. I really like tomboys they make the cutest people, that's why I like Axie. I'm sure my brother loves her, no wonder he's treating her like a queen. As a matter of fact, he would never allow a girl to stay at his place, even if she was locked out of her house neither would he drop a girl to school, even if she had an exam, but Axaelia was special to him. That's probably the only reason, he'd treat her well.

Dad told me to invite my friends for our company's anniversary, I am sure to invite Axaelia and Skylar. Maybe I could convince them to go shopping too.

It's already time up, they should be reaching any minute. I picked up my bag and skateboard and went towards my car. My skateboard was a purple one with graffiti work all over it, it was something my grandmother had made me.

The thought of my grandmother always made me sad, she made us a lot of things and tried to make us happy, even till her last breath. She'd always make me and my brothers happy when our parents were arguing, just to distract us. Her last wish was for us to remain happy as a family. She is the only reason my parents are still together. If it wasn't for her they would've divorced a long time ago.

"Hey Christy" The enjoyment in Axie's tone filled my heart like anything.

"Hey babes, so should we skateboard?" I said in a voice that would match the mood we were in.

Skylar had worn dark capris and a red tank top, while Axaelia wore jeans shorts, and a normal black tee, with a picture of flowers over it.

We began boarding in the huge concrete skateboarding thingy, whose name I didn't even know. Ax and sky looked pretty professional in boarding, while I was sort of still learning.

"Chris, over here, come on" they called me from a distance so that we could relax like I need to catch my breath for real. I ran over to them with my skateboard.

I pulled out 2 invitations from my bag, invitations to our company's anniversary party

"Skylar, Axaelia, I needed to give you guys these, they're an invitation to our company's 8th-anniversary party that's in another 5 days, I hope y'all can make it"

"Oooh, thanks Chris, we would not miss it" Skylar looked overexcited, so did ax

Axaelia was quiet for a while and then asked, "will Caleb also be coming?"

"definitely" My heart kinda saddened when she asked me this.

"You guys wanna go shopping tomorrow?"

Axaelia insisted we could "Girl you know what, that's exactly what I was thinking"

"Perfect, for now, maybe we could eat something, my treat"

"Yay" they both scream together

We went over at Carla's fast food and ordered burgers with fries, and some iced tea. The whole time I couldn't take my eyes of Axaelia nibbling over her fries. After we were done. I proceeded home, so did Skylar and Axie.

I don't know why but I felt like calling Caleb, and so I did

"Caleb? You there?"

"Yup, what is it, Christy?"

"Nothing really, I felt like calling you, btw Axie and Sky are coming for the party on Sunday and were going shopping tomorrow"

"Oh Axaelia would be coming, and Sky, that's great, I gotta go bye"

"Dude you always fucking say that, bye"

Caleb really didn't like long convo's, which annoyed me. I really liked speaking to people. Thinking about the party makes me all the more excited. Also I'm assuming my big brother Hansel would be coming and a lot of other company owners. Mom and dad are really looking forward to the Leroy's, after all they would be coming a long way to attend the party.

The Leroy's, after all, are one of the richest, if they cooperate with our company, we are sure to be making big. I heard the Leroy's had a daughter and possibly dad might ask her hand for Hansel. But I really don't think Hansel would like that idea, He has always been an introvert and doesn't like anyone making decisions for him, especially when it comes to future plans. I only hope dad's decisions don't create frictions between our families. Sunday would be a big day for our company, it was not only the company's day but also grandma's birthday.

I thought of nothing to do other than sleep coz after all tomorrow was what I'm waiting for. I can't wait to see Axaelia again.

Axaelia's Pov

When I got home I was expecting to see Caleb, but he wasn't home too. I got to my room and did a little cleaning and well I also thought of entering Caleb's room just to have a teeny look at it.

"Omg! Caleb's room is dirtier than hell, it looks like some pigs stable"

I had anyways doubted it to be clean.

"Well what can I say I'm not you" I panicked when Caleb was standing behind me

"Caleb, I….I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to be here or say that"

"well yet, you're not wrong, my room is always a mess. Why don't you come in "

"Caleb I…I'll help you clean"

"Fine 2 is better than 1"

I kinda couldn't say no, coz I too didn't like his bedroom so dirty. I picked up all the clothes from the floor and bed and folded them neatly, I kept his bag and books in place too

"Hey, heard you're coming for the party on Sunday?" Caleb sort of sounded curious

"Yeah"

"Great, maybe we could go together?"

"Together as in each other's dates"

"you could take it that way unless you don't want to go"

I felt my face flush red when he asked me that

"Axie to earth"

"Oh, umm sure why not"

"You look redder than a tomato Axaelia"

Damn. He noticed it

"Caleb shut the fuck up, I'm not"

He laughed at the statement of mine and came closer to me until there were just inches of same between us.

"Axaelia Bryant, tell me to shut the fuck up again, and I might just kiss you"

Okay. Ahhh. I knew I was even redder now. I could feel his breath over me. I didn't know what to say and I just ran back to my room.

I wasn't able to sleep at all thinking about Caleb's words,

Axaelia Bryant, tell me to shut the fuck up again, and I might just kiss you

I'd never felt embarrassed in front of anything or anyone, but I was now. I was afraid to see him again, by the time I thought of all this it was already 7 in the morning, I wasn't getting any sleep so I decided to wake up, when I took a glance in the mirror, I was sweating and had dark circles beneath my eyes, my eyes hurt too.

I didn't know how I would face Caleb later.
