Rosalie's POV

By the time I got to Westfield on Monday, I had almost convinced myself that the previous week hadn't happened. Almost.

The conversation with Caleb kept replaying in my head. His voice. The way he'd listened when I told him about Professor Harris. The way he'd agreed to help me and then there was the condition.

The ball.

I still hadn't figured out how I was going to explain that to Emily.

"Rosa!"

I looked up from my phone. Emily was walking toward me with a smile that immediately

  • My Best Friend's Dad Yearns For Me   101

    Rosalie's POV The first thing I did was scream.It hurt like hell, two points on my neck that felt like two poisoned arrows sitting in my neck. Even more devastating for me, was how I could feel whatever was in his bite spread through my neck and into my body.“Caleb,” I whispered. “What have you done?”He spun me about, and I felt him adjusting my body on the car in a panic, but the bite was still spreading and burning through my blood, with each point it covered making me feel numb—except for where his bite had gone in.“You'll be fine, Rosa,” he whispered, though his teeth chattered as he said it, and I saw tears in his eyes. The numbness had now extended to my feet, and my body felt heavy. Sweat covered every inch of me, and raising my hand to wipe it felt like a chore that I could barely manage. Unsuccessful, I let my hand drop back.More sweat now covered my face, and I felt my eyes cloud over, and when the heaviness lasted long enough, I let myself fall into the darkness.**

    Rosalie's POV I stopped and watched him kick something away that made a loud clang.“It was a trap,” he explained, opening the door wider for me. “I think it's safe for you to get out now. Could have destroyed your leg if it got at you for sure.”I stepped out gingerly, and stared at the hand he offered me.“When I relax, I lie on the body of the car and stare into the night.”I still did not take it, and he walked off without another word, so that I had to watch him walk around and then hop on the car's body. He spread himself on the front of the vehicle, and lay so that his back rested on the glass and his hands formed a cushion for the back of his head. “You're weird,” I said, calling out to him. “I don't know why I came here with you.”That was true. I suddenly regretted it.“There's the North Star,” he suddenly said, pointing up at the sky to one particular, obvious one. I followed his finger, and saw the bright light. “Back in the day, anybody who was lost would use it to find

    Rosalie's POVHe touched two of his fingers to his face and then looked at it.“Does that make you feel any better?” He asked, looking back at me with amusement on his face.I clenched my fists by my side and launched another one, but it was less successful and rather dribbled down the side of his chassis as he burst into laughter. Now angry, I launched a third one that never even went far.“I know you to be many good things, Rosa, but I don't think I ever saw the llama side,” he answered, staring at the wet pudding on the ground. “Would you leave me alone,” I roared, now feeling stupid. That somehow made everything even worse, because I could feel passing eyes looking at us.“No. Now get in the car. We've put on enough of a show already.”“I'm not going anywhere with you,” I snapped, low enough for him to hear.He nodded, and then drove off.I was genuinely surprised that he did, and it crushed something inside of me as I continued to walk on the street, watching cars pick up those

    Rosalie's POV I stormed past the assistant, who looked as though she was seeing a ghost without sparing a thought for her. For all I cared, she could lose her job.All I knew was how angry I was with Caleb.We had not spoken since the night he threw the party for Nate, and as broken as I was on that night, I thought he needed some time to learn to deal with his jealousy, and decided to give him some time and space.Then, I could feel him waiting for me.I thought he was becoming childish, in all honesty, ruining things and then waiting for me to come to him, so I refused to bend and allow him, and I pretty much kept him off my back for most of the time. Deep inside me, I was waiting for his patience to snap and for him to reach out.Then I saw that woman enter his office.Instinct made me guess her intentions, and curiosity made me pick up a bunch of decade old files from my desk to use as an excuse. When I reached the office, I saw his assistant sitting there, typing away at her com

    Caleb's POV.“I mean… what are you really here for, BonBon?” I asked, reverting to a sweet name I gave her. “You didn't come here all the way just for shares?”“And what if I did come for just that?” She asked. “Are you trying to say that I'm a whore? That I'm only useful when you want sex and not business? Is that why you haven't been contacting me recently, Caleb Kingston?”She said my name like something she longed to spit out.“If I contact you for only sex, does that not make me a whore too?” Her eyes sparkled with a wicked glint.“You know how to say the right things. That's why I like you.”“I'll sell the shares to you at the price you want, because of our friendship, and as a way of asking for your forgiveness. You sound pretty mad at me.”“That's why I came here to you. I knew you would do the right thing. I also need a way to say thank you to you, the way we used to back then.”She was finally revealing her true intentions.“Words are enough,” I grinned.“Oh stop it. I was

  • My Best Friend's Dad Yearns For Me   96

    Caleb's POV I paid for the sleepless hours that passed on Rosalie in my office the next morning.One sleepless night shouldn't ordinarily have had much effect on me, but I now remembered that the sleepless hours had been accumulating over the last few days, until now that I sat in my office, groggy and still managing to dish out commands to the workers that trudged past the door of my office.When at last, I gave my final order, I called my assistant and told her I was not to be disturbed for the next three hours. “No one at all?” She asked, aware of my special considerations.A look at my face in my selfie camera was enough for anyone to see how horrible I looked, with the dark circles under my eyes and the redness in them. Rosalie had also seen me this morning, her eyes darting in another direction the moment they met mine, and I hoped that she had seen me.If she saw me the way I wanted to see me, and still cared for me the way I thought she cared for me, then I expected her to c
