Love in the wheat field

It has been 8 hours since I met Caeleb and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about him. I’m not going out to the field today so I won’t get to see him before he leaves. When I took his driver’s license to make a copy, I saw he was only 19. Knowing he is closer to my age makes crushing on him less awkward for me. I have had one boyfriend in my 17 years and it was a very weird relationship. He was the same age as me and was big into video games. We didn’t spend a lot of free time together since he played in video game tournaments and we never did anything a couple our age nowadays does except hold hands and kiss. He never tried to touch me and I was too scared to bring any of that up to him. Thankfully we both felt the same way and ended things without anyone getting hurt. Maybe if I had been in an actual relationship before, I’d be able to handle being around Caeleb better. I don’t want him to think I’m some weird teenage girl who is immature for her age. I’m actually very mature t

After work, Caeleb and I headed back to the house and he walked over to his truck to leave. I looked around and saw that Aaron and Jenna still weren’t home. I wasn’t ready for him to leave so I did something crazy and yelled out to him. “Caeleb, you want to stay for dinner?” “I don’t want to cause any problems for you, Skyla.” “You won’t. I don’t like when Aaron stays gone all day and his girlfriend isn’t here either. Knowing them they probably won’t be home until after midnight.” “I don’t know if I should. If your brother comes home and sees me here what is going to think?” “That you stayed for dinner. It’s not like I’m inviting you to spend the night. It’s just dinner. I hate being alone in this house.” “Ok, Skyla. I will stay for dinner but I have to go after that.” “Thank you and that’s fine. I’ll probably shower and go to bed after dinner anyway.” What in the hell is wrong with me? I just talked to him about taking a shower. Keep calm Skyla. Don’t start acting w

“Skyla, if you ever need someone to talk to I’m here for you.” Caeleb says as I am grabbing the door handle to get out of his truck. “Thank you. I’m sorry again for getting mascara on your shirt.” “No big deal. You got it out. See you tomorrow.” I got out of his truck and walked down the road toward the house. I asked Caeleb to drop me off here so Aaron wouldn’t see me with him if he was still up or even home. As soon as I walked in the door. “Where have you been? Your brother has been worried about you!” “Not now Jenna!” “He has been pacing in our room, worried sick.” “HA, that's bullsh*t and you know it! Aaron could care less where I was. Ha ha! He didn’t have to agree to keep me but did because of this house. If he didn’t even really want to take care of me why would he care where I was?” “He-uh-uh. Wait what are you talking about, Skyla?” “He told me this morning I needed to show him more gratitude because he didn’t have to agree to take care of me and I c

It’s been a month since Caeleb started working for the company and I’ve enjoyed being out in the field as his partner. I still haven’t spoken to my brother but I knew he wouldn’t apologize for the hurtful things he said. Jenna told me she has been trying to get him to say he was sorry but he is stubborn and won’t budge. It’s ok though. One day when he finally grows up and wants something to do with me, he is going to look back and realize how bad the things he said hurt me and he will know why I don’t want to be part of his life. 2 more months until my birthday and I hope these next 8 weeks go by fast. I can’t wait to get out of here. I have been looking for a place of my own since I have a good bit of money saved up as of right now. I have also been looking at the job openings that are close to the places I’ve looked at. I’ve found 3 jobs near 2 of the houses I’ve looked at. Caeleb still hasn’t admitted he likes me but I can tell he does and I think he is close to saying something. Y
