"Okay spill you never ask to go to the mall" Em grins as I hop in her car

"Well I'm kinda, going out with Dallas tonight"

"WAIT WHAT?!" Amy practically screeches as her and Ems heads snap to look at me

"Jesus Em!" I yell as the car swerves "drive the fuckin car!"

"So you're going on a date!" Em grins "How did you get Arrex to agree to this?"

"First off its not a date, and second Ace was actually the one who convinced him, and third, even if he didn't, I was gonna go anyway"

"What'd Caleb say?" Amy asks disbelief still laced through her voice

"He was mad at first and actually didn't even say anything when I was arguing with Beck and Arrex, but he softened up a little while later. He just asked if I was happy and as long as I was happy he was happy" I shrug, I was happy Caleb somewhat approved. He may have made my life hell when we were younger but I can't deny the fact that he's just as big a part in my life as my brothers were.

"Aww" Em coos as she drives into the parking lot of the mall. "So what are you wearing?"

"That's what I need your help with, he said dress nice and the nicest thing I have is that uncomfortable black dress"

"Oh no, we so gotcha hun, let's go get you a kickass outfit for tonight"

-----

Shopping proved to be a lot harder than it seemed. Everything Amy picked out was too girly, anything Em picked out showed way too much skin and according to Em, everything I picked out wasnt risqué enough.

"Belle I found it!" I hear her yell from the other side of American Eagle

"Em I swear if you show me one more bralette to wear as a shirt I'm going to smack you with it" I grumble as I follow the sound of her voice

I walk back to the changing room to see Em waiting there with a high waisted dark copper colored suede skirt. Amy was next to her holding a black sheer-ish longer sleeve cropped v-neck shirt. It honestly was a cute outfit

"This is it! You're getting this!" She smirks as I step out of the dressing room

I turn and look in the mirror, the skirt was kind of short, coming mid-thigh, but I have to admit, it didn't look horrible. I hugged my curves in all the right places. The top was cute too, not to sultry but not too conservative.

"I like it" I smile straightening the skirt

"Finally you have an actual girly outfit!" She grins as I retreat back into the dressing room, only to work out minutes later in my normal clothes

After I pay for my clothes, we grab some food before driving back to my house.

"I see you haven't moved" I grin as I place my bag on the kitchen table.

A still shirtless Caleb was still laying in exact same position he was in when I left earlier,only this time Tiny was curled up on the couch by his feet

"I don't want to get up" he grumbles, closing his eyes

"where are my brothers?"

"They left, I think to get groceries or something. They left like an hour ago"

"So you've just been laying there, alone for an hour?" Em questions

"I'm not totally alone, Tinys here" he chuckles as he pets Tiny with his feet

"We'll be upstairs getting ready" I tell him as Em starts to get ready

"Oh yeah for your DATE!" He yells back, putting extra emphasis on date

"ITS NOT A DATE!" I yell

"It is a date though" Em points out, pulling my hair straightener out of the back of my cabinet.

"No its not we're just getting food" I state

"Yeah sure you are,"

She pulls me in front of her and she starts brushing through my hair.

"So what's this Dallas guy like?" Amy asks

"I mean I've only talked to him once, like I've seen him at games but never actually talked to him until last night. He's attractive, not like-" I start to say before Em cuts me off

"Caleb?" Em grins as she cuts me off

"I wasnt going to say that!" I defend

"Oh fine, you were definitely thinking it" Amy chimes

"Shut up" I roll my eyes as I feel my cheeks heat up, it's confirmed once I look in the mirror and see my red tinged cheeks. I was blushing

"You're blushing!" Em and Amy laugh

"Fine! Caleb is cute! Happy now?" I grumble

"Yes very" I hear a deep voice from behind them

"Oh my god," I smack my hand over my face e as a smirking Caleb leans against my bathroom doorway

"Wow that was like perfect timing" Em smirks at him "nice job"

Amy and Caleb high five before smirking back at me

"I hate all of you" I grumble

"You're blushing" Caleb laughs at me as he walks back into my room and sprawls across my bed

"What are you doing?" I brush a strand of hair before straightening it

"Laying on your very uncomfortable bed" he says, birthing his face in my blanket "Your hair looks pretty, I mean it usually is though"

"It's messy" I tell him

"Exactly. It's you" he mumbles from my bed

I glance at Em and see her smirking at me as she continues to straighten my hair. I roll my eyes before turning spotify on, and blasting our favorite songs thus commencing the getting ready process.

-----

"Why are all of these even necessary?" Caleb questions,holding up five of Em's makeup brushes.

"You're asking the wrong girl" I laugh "I know this brush is for blush, and this one is for eyeshadow" I say holding up the blush brush and the eyeshadow blending brush "I'm terrible at makeup, hence Em doing it for me," I grin making him laugh

"I take partial credit for that" he says slightly raising his hand

"Fair enough" I nod as he continues to play with the brushes.

Well that is until Em re-enters the bathroom and hits him over the head with her makeup bag. He almost immediately stops and takes a seat next to me on the counter as Em starts applying a light layer of foundation to my face.

"Em light makeup please," I tell her "I hate wearing a lot of makeup", I trust Em's makeup abilities. She managed to make it perfect every time without it looking cakey or unblended, however my chin a forehead break out terribly when I wear heavy makeup and it takes forever to go away.

"Personally I don't think you need any," Caleb mumbles

I just smile while still looking in the mirror so she can apply some light brown eyeshadow. After eyeshadow I put on a few swipes of mascara and then my mint strawberry tinted lipgloss.

"Okay Belle go get dressed" Em says shoving the clothes in my hand and punching me back into the bathroom. I quickly slip the skirt on over my hips and threw the shirt over my head, tucking the ends of it into the skirt. I take one last once over in the mirror before stepping out of my bathroom.

"Belle you look hot!" Em grins as she twirls me around

"temperature not an adjective." Caleb corrects her right before looking up at me.

"I feel like this is too much" I say, glancing down at my feet before looking up at them.

Caleb was just staring at me, not saying anything. Though there was an emotion I had never seen dancing in his eyes. The minute we made eye contact he looked away.

"IT'S NOT! You look amazing" Amy laughs

"Now shoes, I'll let you pick" Em says as she reveals the three pairs of shoes behind her

There were black heels which I assumed were Ems, a pair of black flats that I think I've only worn once and my old not-so-white and black converse.

I grin as I grab my usual converse making Em roll her eyes.

"And I was starting to think you had some fashion sense" she scoffs before walking out of my room

"I had some faith in the flats" Amy shakes her head as she follows Em out

"Told you, I knew she was going to pick those" Caleb grins yelling after them

"Am I really That predictable?" I questions as I tie my shoe quickly "Whet they're versatile shoes!"

"Kinda, you wear those almost every day" he chuckles as he stands up in front of me, holding his hand out for me to take

"Good point" I grin, I take his hand as he pulls me up off my bed. As he does so, I stumble slightly and I fall into him, creating the most incredibly cliche moment of my life.

He steadies me before letting go with a smirk

"Falling for me?"

"Shut up Kazer" I laugh at his cheesiness "I've heard a lot of your cheesy lines, but I think that one takes the crown"

"Oh without a doubt" He laughs "that or the whole Tennessee one"

"Oh my god I can't believe the Tennessee one has actually worked" I laugh "it's the worst pick up line I've ever heard"

"It really is" he says as out laughter dies down "Those girls were idiots though so that kinda helps explain it"

"That literally explains everything" I grin as I snap the hair-tie on my wrist

"Nervous?" He questions

"A little"

"YOU have nothing to be nervous about" he says simply

"What if-" I start to reason before Caleb's scoff cuts me offs

"Don't even finish that sentence. If he doesn't like you then he's a fucking dumbass." Caleb states sternly

"I've never been on a real date before" I sigh

I've had boyfriends before I left, but we never actually went out on a date. Just to parties where he'd get piss drunk most of the time. We only dated for like two months before I had to leave. Then Darren, the guy from Chicago was really just a friend who I kissed on occasion. We never went out on a real date.

"I wonder why?" Caleb smirks, obviously proud of himself

It was well known that Caleb was a main part in me almost never dating. I mean one dirty look from him would have anyone terrified. He's visually a giant. 6'3", very well built and muscular,I'm talking muscles that can only be earned from hours of hard work. And he had the most intense, amber-brown eyes I've ever seen, they could either pull you in or make you run for the hills.

"But seriously, you have nothing to worry about, that's a promise." He smiles sincerely

I just nod and look down at my wrist.

"You're second guessing everything" he sighs looking at my facial expression. "Come here" he says softly before pulling me into his arms

We stood there in silence for a moment, before he sighs again, not letting go

"You look beautiful Belle" he whispers softly

"Thanks Co" I smile, even though he couldn't

see my face

"We're home" I hear Arrex's voice boom through the house

"We should probably go help him" Caleb huffs

"Yeah" I grin as he lets me go "but really Co, thank you"

"Anytime princess" he smiles before retreating back downstairs, I followed seconds later.

"Belle I thought you said this wasn't a date?" Arrex asks sternly

"Well dad it isn't, we're just getting food" I state simply, emphasising the word 'dad'. Whenever Cheri and my dad were out of town, Arrex would automatically take the 'dad' role, sometimes it was nice, other times it annoyed the hell out of me.

"That's not a 'just going out for food' outfit, that's a date outfit" he retorts, gesturing to my outfit

"He said dress nice, it's not a date"

"So when is dickhead getting here?" Colton questions as he enters the kitchen "I wanna scare him" he grins

I was going to argue bit there was no point. Colton may have been the youngest but he was extremely intimidating. For only being fifteen, he was as extremely well built, all of that is obviously attributed to the years of football training. Adding his 6-foot height and stony glare, the kid could be scary when he wanted to. Obviously not to me, I could still kick his ass in an instant, but I was one of the few. In all the fights Coltons ever been in, he's lost two, once against me once against Arrex.

Coltons question was immediately answered by the ringing of the doorbell.

"Perfect" Colton grins as he runs straight to the front door

"COLTON!" I yell as I run after him.

Well this should be fun.
