His Obsession (On Going)

Chapter 24

He just sat there brooding not even sparing me a glance-ignoring the fact that I just asked him a question.

Okay I've had enough!

I stood up and rushed out of the door. I felt him following me and I doubled my steps. Sometimes he acts like he has pregnancy hormones! One moment he's all happy and clingy and the next moment,he's all moody!

"Skittles,wait!"
This nickname is funny and unique?-I don't know.

"For Christ's sake,wait up! I'm sorry okay I'm sorry"

I continued walking and I was on the street now taking double steps to widen the distance between us but one of his strides was like three of mine. When I realized that he was almost catching up with me I began to ran.

The thing is,I hate being ignored. Wait-I do not like attention in crowded areas but I want attention when you're my friend and we're conversing so that I wouldn't seem like a clingy person.

"MELANIE,I SAID STOP!"he yelled and I halted on my steps.

He yanked me not so gently that I think I winced. I think!
He looked mad!

"What? I fucking sacrificed my sleep so that I could spend time with you and you're what? Ignoring me? That too for a reason I don't know about! Hmp,you surprise me"I threw him a bitter smile and he reduced his grip on me and sighed tiredly.

"I'm sorry"his eyes looked sincerely sorry and he looked vulnerable.

"Caleb,when you have a problem with me,say it out loud! If you do not wanna talk about it,then keep it to yourself till you feel okay to talk about it. It's better to tell me or even scream at me if I do something wrong to you unknowingly than ignore me everytime you think I've done something wrong! That's not fair on my part!"

"Skittles I-"

I glared at him. "--I'm not done here! It's not always okay to do something wrong when you know it's not right and later come and apologise. That's just not fair. How many times will you do something wrong -deliberately and apologise for it? Do you do that because you know I'll forgive you every time you do that? Caleb,I'm human too,it'll get to a time where I'll reach my limit and won't be able to forgive you even if it's just a minor mistake"I finally managed to pull my hand from his grip.

Stupid tears! Go away! Why are they coming now? Did I ask them to fall?

"Skittles, I uhm how do I say this?"he wetted his lips with his tongue before wiping my tears with his thumb. "I'm not used to voicing my thoughts out. It's just the way I deal with everything so pardon me if that hurts you. And I-I can't help it when it comes to you." He laughed bitterly and muttered,"Maybe I am really whipped"

Jesus Christ! It's funny how this guy that I used to despise with every fiber in me suddenly got my insides melting. Even when he still made me mad,I couldn't stop loving him. I tend to love the way he runs his fingers through his hair when he was frustrated or smiles and flashes his dimples to convince-

Wait what?
Did I just say I loved him? I-I L-love Caleb?

Oh my goodness! I love Caleb!

"Can we go to the tree house?"his fingers caressed my cheeks in a delirious manner.

"No"

He smiled and flashed his dimples at me. He knew that was my weakness-his damn dimples! Idiot!

I made my face stoic. "Not working this time. Are you seriously going to tell me why you were ignoring me or what?"I glared him. I wasn't angry though-in fact,I wanted to laugh.
