Chapter Fifteen - The perfect night
Caleb
I can’t believe how lucky I am getting to spend time with Scarlett, especially after thinking she didn’t want to be around me after the night she ran off. The way she made me feel was strange, especially this quickly. I am happy we arranged this dinner or who knows when I would see her next in my work for coffee.
“How much rice and curry would you like?” Scarlett asked.
“Half and half, please, I will pour us another drink.” I smiled at Scarlett, “That’s us onto the second bottle of wine, and we haven’t even started eating yet,” I added.
I sat down on the couch next to where Scarlett had placed my dinner.
“Cheers,” Scarlet said, “Here’s to a good night,” She added, smirking.
“Cheers, Scarlett,” I replied as we clinked gla

Scarlett's Secrets Chapter Sixteen - Not easy to resist
Scarlett Caleb and I were lying on my sofa, watching a movie. My legs were resting over his lap, his fingertips circling on my leg. My attention was not on the film; it was on him. I was fighting against the urge to grab him, pull him over me and just let him take me, but I couldn’t do that, not this soon. I am not that sort of girl, plus I am worried because he was still my “target” at the end of the day, and I don’t know how I am going to deal with that.“Now, who is staring?” He said, turning to face me.“Hmm, I can’t help myself,” I said, “I am trying my best to behave,” I added.He moved, coming to lean over me.“Do we need to behave entirely?” He said with a smirk.“I do try my best to behave, especially on a first date.” I giggl
Scarlett's Secrets Chapter Seventeen - Jealously and lies
PJ I had my eye on Scarlett’s place from the apartment I had rented across from her. She never knew I had rented it. I had been watching her most of the night, waiting for Caleb to leave, but he never left. And the thought of him being in there with her made a fit of anger run through me. She is not meant to be fucking him! That is not part of the plan. She is supposed to make him fall for her, not be screwing him. And I knew personally all it would take is one time with Scarlett, and he will want more. She affects men that way.The rented apartment doesn’t have much in it, but I got some curtains up so I can spy without getting caught. I can’t believe she is letting him sleepover; the anger doesn’t seem to be subsiding. I need to get over to that house, pronto. He needs to leave!It is nearly nine-thirty, and still no movement from the front door. Surely, he needs to leave soon
Scarlett's Secrets Chapter Eighteen - A note from a stranger
Caleb “Well then, Caleb, when did you get home?” Nate asked me as soon as I got into the coffee shop.“Mate, I’ve not even clocked in for my shift yet, and you are questioning me,” I said, laughing as I went to go through the back.“I just want details before the lunchtime rush comes in,” He said, staring at me with raised eyebrows.“I will tell you what I can when I come back through Mr Nosey!” I smiled then went through the door to the backroom.I knew I shouldn’t have told Nate what I was doing yesterday as he would not leave me alone until I gave him details. I could feel myself grinning whilst getting ready to go out to start my shift. I don’t mind talking about Scarlett, though. I go back through and find the coffee shop has got busy in the ten minutes I was through the back.
Scarlett's Secrets Chapter Nineteen - Dinner with PJ
Scarlett I was finishing off getting ready for my dinner with PJ. I was dreading it, but I never had a choice. He is not the kind of man you say no to. I was not getting too dressed up, though, because I had work after, and I didn’t want him thinking I was making a special effort for him. I don’t need to add to his delusions. I felt guilty going out with another man when things were going so well between Caleb and me. I need to do everything I can to get through this night.I was hoping to have called Caleb before my shift, but now I never had time because of PJ. I would need to wait until my break.I still can’t believe he is making me go out for dinner before having a long night at work. I should be sleeping right now instead of getting ready to meet PJ. I’ve only had five hours of sleep because I couldn’t stop thinking about this dinner, so it took me a while to doze of
Scarlett's Secrets Chapter Twenty - Has my past caught up?
CalebI never heard much from Scarlett last night; she only called me once when she got her first break but didn’t stay on the phone for long. She did say she would get in touch when she wakes from her sleep after a night shift. I suppose I will just need to wait until later to speak to her. I may as well get myself showered and a coffee to start a relaxing day off.The postman has been early today. I don’t usually get post until eleven a.m. I picked up the envelope and headed through to the kitchen to make myself a coffee. I tossed the envelope on the counter, and that’s when I noticed it was handwritten with no stamp.Strange, I don’t usually get hand-delivered mail. I was so carried away thinking about the envelope that I stirred my coffee so much it started to spill.Shit, why is this bothering me so much? I grabbed my coffee and mail and went to the living room to sit down.
Scarlett's Secrets Chapter Twenty One - Lurking in the shadows
ScarlettCaleb and I walked around for a good half an hour, so it was time for a break.“Let’s take a seat, baby boy,” I said, nodding over to the giant oak tree.He smiled, nodded his head, and we went and sat down under the tree. He had been reticent, which isn’t like him. I sensed something wasn’t right, but I never said anything. If he wanted to tell me, he would. I am not exactly honest with him about the marks on my neck.“Caleb, babe, are you sure you are OK?” I asked softly, resting my head on his shoulder.“Just tired, beautiful, that’s all,” He said, slipping his arm around my shoulder.“You just seem a lot quieter than usual, like something is playing on your mind,” I said quietly.“Honestly, babe, I am doing OK, just tired; I
Scarlett's Secrets Chapter Twenty Two - Logan?
PJI knew that following Caleb would give me more answers than asking Scarlett. She has definitely been keeping quite a lot of information from me. I have always liked Scarlett, but she has been very sneaky about this job, making me angrier and angrier.It was so boring having to sit in that coffee shop, but it was the only way I would ever find out what was happening between them both. I still don't think Caleb has clocked on to who I am, that it was me that he saw down by the canal that night they were together.Scarlett has a job to do, and I think she needs to be reminded of that. Plus, I am not letting him take her from me. She was mine first. I had to watch what I was doing, though. I had people that I had to answer to with this job. I can put the fear into Caleb, but only to a certain extent. I wanted to tell Scarlett the truth badly about him because whatever was going on in her head, she would
Scarlett's Secrets Chapter Twenty Three - Paranoid
CalebI was looking forward to my time with Scarlett, but at the same time, I was paranoid, especially after another note came. This one read.Logan, watch your back! This person called me Logan made everything worse because only people who knew that name were the ones I ran from, which means someone from my past knows where I am. I have been on edge since I received it. I was trying to forget because I never wanted it to ruin my time with Scarlett. I had not told anyone because if I did, I would need to tell them my past, which is the last thing I want.Right now, I need to try and forget about the note and just concentrate on my weekend with Scarlett. Yes, we are spending the weekend with each other as we both have it off. I was still unsure what our plans were as we were going to wait and see what would happen. I should probably give her a message and see if sh
