Xavier's point of view.
A song blasted through the radio as Caleb drove us to the beach house, the song was beautiful and this was the first time I'd ever hear it before. I could hear Caleb singing along to the song as he drove, eyes fixed on the road, a smile fixed on his face.
"how can you miss someone you've never met, cause I need you now but I don't know yo..." he sings as he drives. I can't take my eyes off him, his voice is melodious and the air he exuded as he sang made me fall even harder. "Hey, Vee, do you know this song?"
"no but I want to dance to it, it's beautiful" I say without thinking. my heart pounded in my chest as he drove because I didn't know what would happen when we get there. is he going to fuck me? is it gonna hurt?
I text the first person that comes to mind, Shawn and after nearly ten minutes of texting back and forth, I look up from my phone, a new found sense of courage inside of me. the car stops and I look at Caleb.
"why'd we stop?"
"my parents haven't been to the beach house in about a year, so there is no food or at least any edible food in the freezer, so we'll need to get food to eat... hence, Target" he points out of the window and I see we'd stopped in front of Target
"okay, what do we need?"
"hey, don't look at me, you're the one that can actually cook more than one thing" he tells me and I laugh
"what can you cook?" I ask laughingly.
"a chicken pasta salad... what more were you expecting? that's all I can cook"
"okay, then you're gonna make me a pasta salad for dinner and then I'm gonna make you pancakes for breakfast tommorow morning, how does that sound?" as i speak, I lean in to kiss him. He kisses me back and places a hand on my cheek.
"it sounds amazing... you know the best part though?" he asks and I lift and eye brow in question. "after dinner, I'll eat you for dessert"
"oh"
"yeah" he laughs and I do. "let's go get groceries. oh can we buy ingredients for chocolate chip cookies, we could watch some YouTube videos and make them?"
"we sound like an old married couple" I unbuckle my seat belt and smile. "I already know how to make chocolate chip cookies, you can help if you want to"
"yes!! cookies!!" he screams and unlocks the car jumping out and running into the Target
"you're a fucking child!!" I scream at him.
we spent thirty minutes at the Target, mostly trying samples and browsing through furniture that we'd never get. at one point, he slipped his hand into mine and we stayed that way until we walked out together, a bag in each hand that wasn't intertwined because. we loaded our groceries into the back seat of his car and start driving again.
Caleb's point of view
he'd fallen asleep ten minutes after we'd gotten back in the car and he'd been asleep for the past two hours. I almost felt bad for waking up. he looked good asleep, his pretty blonde hair fell in front of his face, his lips were parted slightly, his lashes nearly touching his cheeks, the bright blue gem on his ear glistening in the sun and his breath poured out silently. he looked beautiful, I felt bad for waking him up
but I had to. I scooted closer to him and leaned in to whisper into his ear "Xavier?"
"hmm" he mutters tiredly and wiggles in his seat.
"Xavier, we're here, baby" his eyes flutter open and he's looking at me, his chocolate brown eyes looking into mine. "hi" I say because my brain was blank.
"hi" he says sleepily. he opens his eyes again and they suddenly go wide. "wow... that's so fucking beautiful" he sits up and looks over my shoulder, his entire face brightens as he stares at the ocean, watching the waves rise and crash. "why are we still sitting here??" he asks and starts taking of his sneakers.
"what are you doing?" I asks as he opens the door.
he doesn't answer me, he jumps out of the car and runs towards the ocean. I watch as he stands and waits for the water to wash up to the shore and cover his feet, it does and the look of Glee on his face is something that I want to stay there forever.
I don't join him, I get out of the car and start unloading it, I take both his bags and one of mine and the two grocery bags and then I stand there and keep watching him splash around in the ocean, laughing as he falls in after the water knocks him down.
he looks over at me and sees I'd unpacked the car. he frowns and starts walking towards me. "I wanted you to come play with me" he say when he stands in front of me.
"I know.. I know" my hand goes around his waist like it's second nature. " but it's nearly seven and we need to get inside and start making dinner, don't you want my chicken pasta salad?"
"I do... I'm really hungry, actually" he reaches into my pocket and grabs the house keys. and picks up two backs. "race you to the house" he takes off running towards the house but I don't run, I just watch him as he unlocks the house and runs in, laughing.
I walk up the stone steps and make my way into the house, it had that never lived smell that house that have not been lived in for long had.
"Vee!!!" I yell his name and it echoes across the house.
"yeah?" he calls back and comes out of the kitchen. "I found the kitchen and I turned the freeze on" he tells me and takes off his shirt. I eye him and he sees me and smiles. "no... I'm going to take a shower because I have sand in places that sand shouldn't be"
"all the bed rooms have an ensuite... you can have one of the rooms up there, I'll take one of the other ones" I say just to be safe. I didn't know what Vee had in mind and I didn't want to upset him.
his smile drops. "oh.. we're not... we aren't.. sharing a room?"
"do yo-" I tried to ask if he wanted to share a room.
"Nevermind" he says and disappears into the house.
I sigh and head for the kitchen to start on dinner.
Xavier's point of view.
I overreacted. how was he supposed to Know if I wanted to share a room with him or not.
I found a towel in the bathroom after my shower and tied it around my me and make my way into the connected bedroom
"shit!" I swear as I remember my bags with all my clothes in then were with Caleb when we came in. I take a deep breath and head out of the room and go in to the kitchen to ask where the bags were.
he was standing at the stove pouring macaroni into a pot of boiling water, the water splashes and he jumps back. "shit, that's hot"
"are you okay?" I ask worriedly.
"yeah, I'm fi... wow" he trails off and gives me a once over. "again... wow" my hand tightens around the towel as I walk over to him.
"where's my bag? I need to take it to my room and get change" I emphasize on the word the "my" when I say my room and he sighs.
"Xavier, do you want to share a room with me?" he asks stepping closer to me. I don't answer him because I wanted to be a brat "please share a room with me!" he begs dramatically and wraps his arms around my waist. "please! please! please!" his hands slide down to my ass and squeezes softly.
"Caleb..." I mutter as he starts to pull down my towel and run his hand down my chest. he pulls the towel off and let's it drop. There I was standing in the middle of the kitchen, naked.
his hand slides down my body and cups my ass again, i hop as he lifts me off the floor and placing me on the kitchen island. he steps between my legs and presses his lips against mine.
he kiss my jaw and down my throat, biting and sucking at my necks. I moan quietly as he starts kissing down my body. his mouth is going for my cock when a loud ding interrupts us.
"chicken's ready" he mutters and lifts up to look at me. "I would have liked to eat a different type of meat but that meat needs to be cut up and added to the veggies"
"okay"
"your bags are in my room, that's where you gonna stay while we're here, go there, change and I'll bring dinner to you, okay?"
"okay"
"now, get your ass into some clothes before I forget about dinner and eat you" I jump down from the counter and pick up the towel and head for his room. when I open the door, I find some clothes laid out on the bed and I turn fucking red.
it was the hoodie he'd left at my house. why did I even pack the damn thing?!! he'd laid it down on the bed with a pair of my shorts and the knee high socks he'd said to pack. the rest of my clothes were in the closet.
I put on the clothes he'd laid out and waited for him with my legs crossed on the bed.
he came in with two plates. "presenting Caleb Keller's world famous Chicken pasta salad"
"I'd hardly call it famous but it looks delicious" he drops my plate in front of me and a have a bite of the dish. "and it actually taste really good"
"world famous, I tell you" he proclaims and starts on his dinner. "I've outdone myself"
"God, stop bragging, it's pasta salad, dude... but it's absolutely delicious... especially the chicken, Caleb" dinner was gone in a jiffy and we started talking.
we talked about everything except the elephant in the room. we'd talked about the game, food, music, movies and basically everything that wasn't sex. he didn't even mention the hoodie
"God, the time's nearly nine... do you think we could bake those cookies tonight? I could really go for some cookies right now" he says mid conversation.
I decided to take the reins. "so... you want cookies for dessert?" I ask blushingly.
"yeah, should we bake them?" he asks obliviously. he could be dumb sometimes.
"no, I have something better you'd like for dessert"
"oh, what is it?" he was catching on
"you can have me"
