Chapter Eight- My Target!
Scarlett
Seven a.m. on a Friday morning, and my alarm was going off. I forgot to turn it off last night before going to bed. Well, I'm awake now. So, I may as well get up and enjoy the rest of my day. It's not very often I get a half week at work, so it is time to make the most of it. First things first, a shower and coffee to start my morning. After I make my coffee, I head through to the living room to catch up on some TV, and that's when I see the white envelope sitting just inside my door. Pretty sure it's too early for the post around here.
I have the fear. I'm already one hundred per cent positive I know who it is from and if I ignore it, pretend I never saw I know there will be consequences. I have been in such a good mood the last couple of days, and now he needs to ruin that for me. I groaned in frustration, going over to grab it. I ripped it open, and there were only a few words wrote.

CalebI was heading out to meet Nate and one of our other friends Ryan for our guys night. I was in a good mood. I have been for most of the week. I had text Scarlett yesterday, but I have yet to hear back from her. I was not overthinking it, though, because I know her job will keep her busy. She would reply when she has the time, I hope.But right now, I was looking forward to going out for a few drinks, a couple of games of pool and good company. Of course, I got to the bar first, so I ordered myself a pint and got the pool table set up. And moments after I got things ready, Nate appeared and went straight to the bar to get a drink.“You want a drink?” He shouted over to me.“I’ve already got a pint, Nate, thanks though”, I shouted back over.I sat down to have a drink whilst waiting for him to come. It is good

ScarlettI was having the best time out with the girls. We had gone for an early dinner and cocktails. I haven’t had a good night out in a long time. I have been working so much recently, so I’m glad Nicole created a group chat and arranged for us to go out.We were all so busy now with life; it was hard to get us all together.“Why is your face tripping you?” Nicole asked.“I’m fine,” I smiled, “Just waiting for the karaoke to start,” I added.“Ok, if you say so, Scarlett,” Nicole said, staring straight at me, then turned to get her drink off the bar.I am fine, and I am happy, but my phone battery died before I got to tell Caleb where I was. I would love to meet him tonight. I gave the barman my phone to charge when I came in. So I will get it back shortly and reply to Caleb.&nbs
Scarlett's Secrets Chapter Eleven - What just happened?
Caleb I was enjoying my night with everyone; I really was. But what I wanted more was to get some alone time with Scarlett. Just her and I, no interruptions. I reached into Scarlett, my lips at her ear, and she shivered as soon as she felt my hot breath against her skin.“Do you want to get out of here, you and me? We can go somewhere to talk, go a walk, anywhere you like,” I whispered.She turned to face me, that beautiful smile playing on her lips.“I would love that,” She said, “In one condition, though,” She added.“And that being what?” I asked.“That you promise I get a kiss at the end of the night,” She said, biting her lip as she did.I swallowed hard and nodded my head. I can give her that. I have wanted to kiss those lips s
Scarlett's Secrets Chapter Twelve - Not how I wanted this night to end
ScarlettI can’t believe this is happening to me. Why was he there? How did he know where I was? I have so many questions running through my mind right now, but I need to concentrate and just get home. My heart was pounding so hard, and I could feel my chest tightening up because I was breathing so hard, nearly home, though.What is Caleb going to think? What am I going to tell him? I can’t believe I just ran away from him, but I just don’t know how to explain what is happening in my life when I don’t even know what is happening.I can see my garden, not far to go, and I’ll be home safe. Then I hear my phone ping. It’s a text message. Will it be Caleb or PJ; I will check it when I get in. I rush to my front and fumble with my keys; finally, I slam the door behind me and lock it. Breathe, Scarlett, breathe was all I could think. I rest against the d
Scarlett's Secrets Chapter Thirteen - I don't get it!
Caleb It has been a couple of days since the night I kissed Scarlett since the night she ran away from me. I had not heard from her since the text she sent me. I had tried contacting her, but nothing. And I was miserable. I was dreading work today.“Still nothing, buddy?” Nate asked.“No,” I sighed, “I don’t get it. We were getting on great. What can change in a matter of seconds?” I added, running my fingers through my hair.“I don’t know. I am sure there is a valid reason for it. Maybe she is busy with work or something,” He said, trying to make me feel better.“Maybe,” I said, but I had a feeling that was nothing to do with it.“You never know Caleb; she might come and see you at work today,” Nate said with a laugh at the end.

ScarlettI'm so glad I came in to see Caleb today, and he was a lot nicer than I expected. If I were him, I wouldn't have given me the time of day after running off. I really should get ready to go home and get ready for the night ahead.I finished my coffee and got my coat on."Caleb, that's me going to go now," I tell him as I sit down my plate and coffee cup on the counter, "Will I take your jacket with me?" I smiled at him."Yes, please, that would be great. I will see you soon," He said, flashing that gorgeous smile at me."I can't wait," I smiled, blowing him a kiss before leaving.I left the coffee shop and then remembered I needed to go to the shop and get some supplies for dinner tonight, so I went into my local shop on the way home and got what I needed. I did even ask him what he liked. I will just get stuff to make a curry.Everyone likes curr
Scarlett's Secrets Chapter Fifteen - The perfect night
CalebI can’t believe how lucky I am getting to spend time with Scarlett, especially after thinking she didn’t want to be around me after the night she ran off. The way she made me feel was strange, especially this quickly. I am happy we arranged this dinner or who knows when I would see her next in my work for coffee.“How much rice and curry would you like?” Scarlett asked.“Half and half, please, I will pour us another drink.” I smiled at Scarlett, “That’s us onto the second bottle of wine, and we haven’t even started eating yet,” I added.I sat down on the couch next to where Scarlett had placed my dinner.“Cheers,” Scarlet said, “Here’s to a good night,” She added, smirking.“Cheers, Scarlett,” I replied as we clinked gla
Scarlett's Secrets Chapter Sixteen - Not easy to resist
Scarlett Caleb and I were lying on my sofa, watching a movie. My legs were resting over his lap, his fingertips circling on my leg. My attention was not on the film; it was on him. I was fighting against the urge to grab him, pull him over me and just let him take me, but I couldn’t do that, not this soon. I am not that sort of girl, plus I am worried because he was still my “target” at the end of the day, and I don’t know how I am going to deal with that.“Now, who is staring?” He said, turning to face me.“Hmm, I can’t help myself,” I said, “I am trying my best to behave,” I added.He moved, coming to lean over me.“Do we need to behave entirely?” He said with a smirk.“I do try my best to behave, especially on a first date.” I giggl
