Caleb looked down on Hope and smiled he'd never felt like this about a girl before, until Hope. She was amazing and she'd grown, fuck she'd grown a lot on two months into a beautiful young woman they were both sixteen and he'd loved her since he'd met her. He knew he had to make her his and making sure that she knew that she was always safe, though he couldn't always be there for her. But now he was and he was going to make sure it stopped that way. He knew Joshua was acting strangely and Hope had clarified it, but only time would tell, only with time his old self would push its way back through and show its ugly head once again.
Her eyes fluttered.
He continued to smile.
"Caleb."
"Good morning princess, and a good morning it is."
"Are you high?"
"No just happy." He looked at her smiling. Moving her hair off her face. "Just happy that I have you and nothing, and I mean nothing will ever come between us again."
"Nothing ever did."
"Josh did, if he hadn't treated you like he did you would never have had to go to that camp and I would never have missed you for two solid months."
She smiled. "Well I'm not going any where soon."
"Glad to hear it angel." He said, guiding his hand down her face. "What shall we do today angel?"
"I should be heading home."
"Later angel. I told your parents you'd be back before supper, so we have the whole day together, so what would you like to do?"
"I should really go to the gym I need to sign up."
"Perfect. I'll go with you."
"It's the one in the city Caleb, Scar's brother owns it."
He shrugged. "Where ever you wish to keep fit, I'm happy with."
She smiled.
He leaned forward pressing his lips on hers kissing her. "Let's go."
She nodded they pulled themselves up and got changed ready for a busy say and maybe a workout.
They headed into the city by bus finally comping to salt ways fitness centre. They walked in a butch guy come over to them he and
Caleb crashed fists did they both know each other? "So what can we do for you today Caleb it's been a while?"
Yeah they definitely knew one another.
"I've been cool. This is Hope, she's here to join and I need a little training. I haven't done much the past on the due to family issues."
"Well I hope that they're sorted."
"They are."
He nodded then looked at Hope. "So what are you looking for darlin? A quick work out?"
"No. I was told to continue with my training and this gym was highly commended."
"May I ask who by?"
"Scar, Corporal Stevens."
His lips curled upwards. "Well today is your lucky day Darlin, I'm August his bro. He mentioned you may be stopping by. I'll get those forms for you and you can fill them out. Caleb you know your limit. I'll send your personal trainer over."
"Thanks."
He nodded then left. "I'll meet you back here okay."
"Okay."
He pecked her on the cheek and heady for the weights. August retuned and handed her the paper work which she filled out handing it to him.
He smiled. "My bro trained you yeah?"
"Yeah he did."
"Cool, cause I'll be training you, so there'll be no slacking."
"I understand."
He smiled. "Come on darling, let's get started, so you can show me what you can do so we can take it from there."
"Sure."
After an intense session at the gym Hope and Caleb went to his house and showered before they both had lunch. Caleb slipped her hand on his and they walked so to the Kingsley's. He pulled her close. "I've really enjoyed last night and today."
"Me too."
"I'll pick you up tomorrow okay?"
"Okay."
He pressed his lips on hers kissing her passionately. He moved away. "You best be getting in before they send out search party." He joked, laughing.
"Yeah."
"Tomorrow angel."
"Bye Caleb."
"Bye angel." He said, walking away.
She closed the door only to be faced with an angry looking Joshua. "Where the hell have you been? I was worried."
"There's no need to be. I was with Caleb."
"Til now?'~"
"Yes Til now."
"Hi honey, how was your evening with Caleb? I hoped he treated you well?"
"He did Mr. Kingsley. He was a true gentleman."
Josh turned angrily at his father. "You knew about this?"
"Of course. Caleb wanted to take her out and welcome her home. We agreed that she could stay with him till supper tonight."
"And no one cared to inform me!" He roared.
"We did, but you weren't listening. And stop being so overprotective Joshua, Caleb is Hope's boyfriend and your friend and their old enough to do as they please."
"Why if he .. he.. forced himself into her, then what dad?"
"Dont talk shit Joshua, we all know Caleb and he is not capable."
'I'm going upstairs.' I wasn't listening to them argue any longer.
"Sure honey."
She leaped up the stairs to her room collapsing on her bed. What the hell was wrong with Joshua anyway?
"Did he fuck you?"
She jumped she hadn't herd him come up stairs or come to her room. "That's none if you're fucking business."
"Oh yes it is, you're my fucking sister?" He gritted out, angrily.
"I'm not your sister, you made that quiet clear every fucking day Josh. Now leave me alone."
He leaped toward her jumping on the bed, gripping her hands tightly in his. He looked really angry she hadn't seen it in such a long time, she knew his new side was to good to be true. "He'll leave you now he's fucked you."
"No he won't."
"He will. I know him Hope her fucks em and fucks em off. You're no fucking different."
"Well I guess we're going to have to find out aren't we?"
"I guess we are.' He said getting closer, his breath fanning on her face.
Her reflexes kicking in, his legs either side of her.
"He won't change not for you on anybody, By tomorrow you'll be old news."
"I guess we'll have to see who's wrong and whose right won't we?"
"I guess we will." He said, getting even closer, she had to do something before he did.
She lifted her legs pushing him away with her feet. He flew across the room bouncing off the wardrobe, he looked to her through the slits of his eyes, what the fuck had just happened?
"Hope, Joshua supper."
She pulled herself up off the bed he pulled himself up off the ground and they made their way out of the room. He leaned forward. "This isn't over Hope far from it."
