Chapter Seven - Getting to know each other
Scarlett
I smirked to myself as Caleb walked away. I know I was a little mean, teasing him, but I couldn’t help myself. I watch as he heads over to his colleague, the two of them talking. His colleague was looking over at me as they did. Could it be any more evident that they were talking about me? I let out a small giggle and got back to reading my book until Caleb was ready to come over and join me. I don’t know why Caleb has drawn me in the way he has, but I couldn’t help myself. I could feel his eyes on me now and then as he served other customers. I made sure to flash my best smile at him or send a quick wink his way.
I don’t know the last time I had these thoughts or feelings towards someone. I never get myself too involved as they never work out. My past is too messy to try and explain to someone, so I keep my life simple by just avoiding relationships altogether.

CalebI was heading out to meet Nate and one of our other friends Ryan for our guys night. I was in a good mood. I have been for most of the week. I had text Scarlett yesterday, but I have yet to hear back from her. I was not overthinking it, though, because I know her job will keep her busy. She would reply when she has the time, I hope.But right now, I was looking forward to going out for a few drinks, a couple of games of pool and good company. Of course, I got to the bar first, so I ordered myself a pint and got the pool table set up. And moments after I got things ready, Nate appeared and went straight to the bar to get a drink.“You want a drink?” He shouted over to me.“I’ve already got a pint, Nate, thanks though”, I shouted back over.I sat down to have a drink whilst waiting for him to come.

Scarlett's Secrets Chapter Eleven - What just happened?
Caleb I was enjoying my night with everyone; I really was. But what I wanted more was to get some alone time with Scarlett. Just her and I, no interruptions. I reached into Scarlett, my lips at her ear, and she shivered as soon as she felt my hot breath against her skin.“Do you want to get out of here, you and me? We can go somewhere to talk, go a walk, anywhere you like,” I whispered.She turned to face me, that beautiful smile playing on her lips.“I would love that,” She said, “In one condition, though,” She added.“And that being what?” I asked.“That you promise I get a kiss at the end of the night,” She said, biting her lip as she did.I swallowed hard and nodded my head. I can give her that. I have wanted to kiss those lips s

ScarlettI can’t believe this is happening to me. Why was he there? How did he know where I was? I have so many questions running through my mind right now, but I need to concentrate and just get home. My heart was pounding so hard, and I could feel my chest tightening up because I was breathing so hard, nearly home, though.What is Caleb going to think? What am I going to tell him? I can’t believe I just ran away from him, but I just don’t know how to explain what is happening in my life when I don’t even know what is happening.I can see my garden, not far to go, and I’ll be home safe. Then I hear my phone ping. It’s a text message. Will it be Caleb or PJ; I will check it when I get in. I rush to my front and fumble with my keys; finally, I slam the door behind me and lock it. Breathe, Scarlett, breathe was all I could think. I rest against the d
Scarlett's Secrets Chapter Thirteen - I don't get it!
Caleb It has been a couple of days since the night I kissed Scarlett since the night she ran away from me. I had not heard from her since the text she sent me. I had tried contacting her, but nothing. And I was miserable. I was dreading work today.“Still nothing, buddy?” Nate asked.“No,” I sighed, “I don’t get it. We were getting on great. What can change in a matter of seconds?” I added, running my fingers through my hair.“I don’t know. I am sure there is a valid reason for it. Maybe she is busy with work or something,” He said, trying to make me feel better.“Maybe,” I said, but I had a feeling that was nothing to do with it.“You never know Caleb; she might come and see you at work today,” Nate said with a laugh at the end.

I really should get ready to go home and get ready for the night ahead.I finished my coffee and got my coat on."Caleb, that's me going to go now," I tell him as I sit down my plate and coffee cup on the counter, "Will I take your jacket with me?" I smiled at him."Yes, please, that would be great. I will see you soon," He said, flashing that gorgeous smile at me."I can't wait," I smiled, blowing him a kiss before leaving.I left the coffee shop and then remembered I needed to go to the shop and get some supplies for dinner tonight, so I went into my local shop on the way home and got what I needed.

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
