You Know Everyone Wants A Taste Of This

I wake at six forty six in the morning, I usually wouldn't be awake by this time of the day but this time I hand a mission. I was downstairs, under the dining table with my airpods in my ears.

whenever I had to do something I felt was embarrassing, I usually do it early in the morning under the dining table because,

a, the dining table has a thick cloth over it so no one would ever find me their and b, I'm the only morning person in this family, the rest are bitches in the morning.

what was I doing that I thought was embarrassing, you ask. well, I was chatting with Caleb Keller.

it kind of started out as cyber stalking him. this wasn't the first time I've stalked him on Instagram, it's not even the second or third and I was never embarrassed by it, but now that I know why I do it, I'm sort of embarrassed by it. it's pretty cliche, stalking a hot boy's Instagram. at first, I wanted to stalk Shawn's Instagram but I realized I didn't know his last name so it was pretty hard to find him. then I decided to do Caleb's own.

the last picture on it was one with him, his dad and his papi. his papi was cooking and his dad was stuffing his face with a piece of what I think is a fruit roll up. Caleb was grinning in the picture. the caption read: family time. I scroll down and saw more pictures, of cats and kids and more people of which I didn't know and then I saw it and held my breath.

A picture of what was clearly my hand, I could tell from the pink rubber band and pinky ring (yes I wear a pinky ring and an assortment of knuckle rings, sue me), I put on my hands and wrist the day Cal kissed me.

I held my controller in my hand and I was clasping it tight. I thought for a second, when did he take this picture?. And then it hit me. Cal was on his phone for a minute in the middle of our game and he must have been taking the picture. cute finger, was the caption. I blushed and sent him a dm.

"got a hand fetish, have we now?" I sent and waited. that was thirty minutes ago. he messaged me back and I got up and literally ran for the dinning room, I got under the table and sat down with my laptop on my lap.

"what are you doing awake by this ungodly hour?" he messaged me back

"it's nearly 7am, it's not an ungodly hour"

"to me it is"

"another bitch in the morning" I muttered to myself before I started typing. "back to the topic at hand" I sent

"i liked your ring"

"okay, thank" I texted back and just myself under the table.

"and I like the person the ring belongs to" he texted and I choked on my own saliva.

"laugh emoji, laugh emoji, laugh emoji" I erase it

"well, I'm flattered...."erased it again.

"I like you too... "erased again.

"I'm gay" sent.

I stare at the words on the screen and I feel scared. I know he's going to be fine with it but again there's that fear again. it's the most intrusive feeling.

"that's cool, I thought you said you weren't" he texted back.

"I wasn't sure"

"it doesn't matter if you're gay or not, you're a nice person"

"thanks, Cal" I text and like before my heart fills.

"so, you're gay but you're not into me?" he sends back. I stare at it for a full minute and consider. I don't want him to think I'm not into him but I also don't want him to think that i'm into him either because I know at the end of the game, he's going to pick one of the girls. Shawn was kind of the best person for me. he was pretty and smart and nice and perfect. I sigh.

"I think you're cute but I just want to stay friends until the game is over" that way, if I get with Shawn, I wouldn't be pissed if Cal picks Sophie Cheng's or one of the other girls.

"after the game, if I ask you out, you'll say yes?"

He says he likes me and now he wants to go out with me. "Maybe. if I'm not dating anyone then, I'll say yes. you know everyone want a taste of this"

"oh my God, that's just so cringe" I laugh at myself.

"I sent it before I heard it"

he sends a string of laughing emojis. "I hope you're not dating anyone by then" he sends a blue heart. I giggle "I've got to go and I think you've got to too because it's past seven, we have school" he sends again

"okay, see you at school" I send

"yeah, see you"

I squeal excitedly and close my laptop. I'm about to get out from under the table when light streams in and I immediately know someone raised the table cloth. I turned to th direction of the light and I see mom staring at me.

"what are you doing?" she asks with a look of suspicion on her face.

"nothing" I say and clutched my laptop to my chest.

"that doesn't look like nothing" she says pointing to the laptop. "you're usually under here if you're doing something weird" she says and reaches for me, I scoot back, avoid her touch and coming out from under the table.

"I'm not doing anything weird" I say as I struggle to get on my feet with the laptop safely tucked in my arm.

"yes, you are" mom says, and points at the laptop. "I'd usually Respect your privacy but this time I'm not letting it go, you're acting way too suspicious"

"oh my god, I'm not doing anything!!" I scream and stomp my right foot like a child. "why are you accusing me of things I didn't even do?!"

"I didn't accuse you of anything"

"you did too"

"give me the laptop so I can Snoop" she says and holds out her hand.

"you're an adult, you should be matured and let me have my privacy" I tell her. we're rounding the table, her trying to get my laptop and me trying to get the hell away from the psycho.

"privacy shmivacy" she says and dives for me. "get back here, kid!!!!" she say as I run.

"you'll never get meeeeeee..." I trip and fall over turning onto my back so I wouldn't crush my laptop.

"aha!!" mom screams and grabs the laptop, snatching it out of my hands. she opens it.

"mom!! no!!!" I say as I get up. she sighs. "pleases" she groans, has a mental battle with herself and shuts it back. "thank you" I mutter.

"as long as you're practicing safe sex.. " I groan. "oh, don't you whine. you're not the one caring for a living, breathing human. like I was saying, as long as you're having safe sex, you're not doing drugs and you're not out there getting your heart broken, I won't snoop, but please promise me. you'll try to be safe. for me" I'm quiet, processing what mom just said. "please, Binky?"

"I promise" I say and hug her. "you didn't mention drinking so I assume I can drink"

"no, no you can't" I hear a familiar voice say. mom and I looked to the door. I scream and so does mom.

"Wendy!!!!!!" mom and I scream at the same time.

"ugh don't call me that" he say as we dive into his arm. "I missed you guys so much"

"I miss you too" I say and cuddles my brother.
