《What Lies Beyond You | ✓》16. | Failed plan

, making myself as comfortable as I could on my large pillow.
Today's classes were nothing but boring. Boring classes, boring teachers, and boring students. I rolled over and dragged my phone from the bedside table, unlocking it and opening the text from Emery. I saw her call almost immediately, and I picked up like she'd wanted me to.
"Someone's eager to speak to me," her voice filled the line.
I rolled my eyes. "For your information, Emery," I said. "You sent a text saying pick up, so I had to pick up."
"Whatever you say." She giggled. It sounded like she was outdoors, or maybe driving.
"So why did you call?" I asked. "We just left school a few hours ago."
"Can you come over?"
I furrowed my brows. "Today?"
"No tomorrow," she retorted sarcastically.
"Oh, great Emery! Thank you for asking so politely, I will not be coming to your house."
"Okay, please, Daesyn," she said. "You have to come!"
"Why?"
"Well, my parents want to meet you," she replied.
"Today?"
"No, tomorrow."
I glared at the screen of my phone. "Are you being sarcastic?"
"What? No!"
"How did they find out about me?"
"I told dad I made a new friend, so he invited you over for dinner."
"What about Clara and Melanie?" I asked unsurely. "Aren't you going to invite them?"
"They met my parents last year or something," she replied.
"Well, I don't know," I trailed off.
"Please, please, please! There's even a catch," she pleaded.
That caught my attention. "What is it?"
"You get to see Caelum," she said, giggling.
I frowned. "And how is that my business?"

"Oh, you could ask him to tutor you for your test."
I nodded. "So, I'm coming over for a sleepover, right?"
"Yes," she replied. "Then you'll have dinner with my parents tomorrow."
"Okay, see you later!" I told her and hung up.
I received a text message a minute later from mum, which I didn't bother replying. We still had unfinished issues, so she could come back whenever she wanted. I didn't care—well, I cared, but she didn't know that. I walked towards my closet and folded the clothes I was taking to Emery's in my bag.
My stomach grumbled immediately as I finished, and I remembered I hadn't eaten since lunch. I went to the living room, switched on the TV, and let the sound of the random commercial fill the air. At least, the house had some life in it.
I wasn't a huge fan of instant noodles, but I didn't have the strength to cook something else, so I sucked it up and ate the noodles. After eating, I went back to my room to take my bag and keys. I decided against writing a note for mum. I assumed she'd be back before me on Sunday and I wanted to make her mad, so I took my stuff and placed it in the car before driving to Emery's.
"Why do you keep coming here?" Caelum asked, his eyes never leaving his book.
I shrugged, crossing my arms. "Because your mum and dad invited me."
"She's not my mum!" he spat.
I nodded, slowly returning my gaze to my feet. I took note that his mum was a touchy subject, and I had to put in more effort if I wanted to understand Caelum.
"Can you stop doing that?"

Frowning, I turned to look at him. "What?"
He gestured towards my feet with his head. "That."
"Oh," I replied and stopped tapping my feet.
"Jesus Christ, Daesyn!" he groaned.
I turned to look at him. "What again?"
He pointed towards my fingers. "Are you nervous or something?"
I shrugged. "Maybe."
"Why?"
"The fact that I'll be meeting your par- your dad and Emery's mum tonight, and I have to retake my Calculus test on Tuesday makes me nervous," I told him.
He stared at me for a while, then nodded and returned his attention back to his book.
"C?" I called.
"What?"
"Will you be able to tutor me before my test on Monday?" I asked, desperation clear in my voice.
"No."
"Oh."
I thought he was going to agree seeing as I made him cupcakes yesterday, but my plan failed once again. Sighing inwardly, I rested my back on the couch.
I guess I was going to fail Calculus this semester.

I took his hand and gasped at the delicious shockwaves traveling up my arm. He pulled me closer to him, so I was standing in between his legs. I wasn't sure what to say, so I ran my fingers through his hair, noticing for the first time the bits of red streaked through the dark brown, and smiled when he growled in delight. He leaned his forehead down, so it was resting on my belly and wrapped his arms around my back. "We should talk about this." He whispered with his head still on my stomach. I nearly didn't hear him. I was too focused on the sparks tingling through my arms as I caressed his back and continued my gentle assault through his hair."Ok. What should we talk about?" He took a deep breath and I watched as his shoulders slumped."I'll understand if you reject me. No one wants a defective mate."Cover made by @ViaAlyssaNicole
