Olivia's POV
I turned and watched as Aidan stalked off, shooting me a hurtful, dirty look. I tried to hide my satisfied grin. He was finally realizing how he felt about me. I let out a sigh of relief knowing that after all these years of Aidan thinking of me as a friend, he could finally see how I felt about him.
I closed my eyes briefly and bit my smiling lip. I felt warm, soft lips against my forehead and I instantly opened them to Caleb’s warm grin. I blushed as I gazed into his inviting, bluish gray eyes that had a hint of green toward the center.
“What are you so happy about?” He teased, stepping closer to me while we waited in line.
I eyed him coyly, acting shy and embarrassed. I slithered past him and picked up our order, turning backward to shoot him a wink. Aidan began slipping from my mind as thoughts of Caleb took over. We took our seats across from each other, Cassie by my side.
I adored the way his ruffled, brown hair fell so lightly around his face, and the way his hand held mine so strongly. I admired his toned muscles and strong jaw line before finally realizing I was staring at him like an idiot while he ate.

Over the next few days I continued to blow off my friends. In the beginning it was just to show Aidan he wasn’t seeing me as much, and to make him miss me. However, I eventually did it deliberately wanting to devote all the free time I had to hanging out with Caleb.
He was fun to hangout with and easy to talk to. I tried as hard as I could to stop myself, but I soon found that I was falling for him. I never lost sight of the real reason I was even paying any attention to Caleb, but Aidan definitely lost sight of me. He never returned my calls, and when I did have time to hangout with Cassie he would never show up.
It hurt me because I knew I had hurt him. I wished I could take it all back to the day I almost told him how I felt, but I had made my decision and I had to keep moving forward. I had made a vow to myself that I would make an effort to see Aidan Saturday afternoon, but Caleb had called in a fuss saying that it was very important that he see me today. He muttered on about Josh bugging him, and how there was only so much time left, but I paid no attention and agreed to meet him at the park.
I walked down the broken, cobblestone pathway and paced back and forth not sure where to meet Caleb. However, I spotted him running frantically toward me, heaving for breath as he made his way down the path.
“Why are you running?” I asked with a laugh.
He placed a hand on my shoulder and crouched slightly, catching his breath. “I wanted to see you really bad?” He replied, as if it were a question.
I smirked, not believing him. “Okay, now honestly why did you want to see me so bad?”
He stood up tall, his heart rate returning to normal. “I just wanted to ask you something important, and I couldn’t wait.”
My stomach fluttered, both happy and nervous. “Yes?” I pushed him to continue.
He smiled at me with that adorable crocked grin I had grown to love. “Will you, Olivia Baker, be my girlfriend?” He asked with a puppy dog glint in his eyes.
I squealed in delight, “Of course I will!”
I threw my arms around him as he lifted me high off the ground to squeeze me tightly. I felt light as a feather, savoring every moment. I realized then that this was the best decision I had ever made. Though I was skeptical of Caleb’s motives, I came to realize he really did just like me and wanted to be with me. My smile grew; I was finally over Aidan and had found someone that had actual feelings for me.
I leaned my head away to place myself face to face with Caleb, our noses brushing and smiles only inches apart. Slowly he leaned in toward me and my eyes closed as I kissed him softly, remembering all the sensational feelings that had shot through my body the first time I kissed Caleb.
We had kissed many times in between, but it was the moment that made everything more extravagant and enjoyable. I refused to pull away as I slipped my hands through his tangled hair and held him closer and kissed him harder.
He pulled back slightly, leaning his forehead against mine. His face was a mess of emotions, and I couldn’t read what he was thinking. He looked hungry, like he wanted me badly there on the spot. I smiled weakly, as his expression softened and he kissed my forehead lightly.
