Besotted novel Chapter 49

I watched as Diana and Ella joked around while Louis sat there in the middle just staring at me with a scowl on his face.

"Just how long are you going to miss your boyfriend? Its already been three weeks since he had been gone and the sadness on your face is still visible," he said as Diana and Ella looked back at me. Diana slapped his head and he groaned while I chuckled.

"Can you even think before you open your stupid mouth?" Ella told him and he grimaced looking my way.

"I can't help it. I like happy people around me. It reflects my own happy vibes and I look good," he boasted and I clamped my hands looking at Diana and Ella who rolled their eyes at him as they made their way to me.

"Are you alright? Don't mind this nutshell," Ella told me and immediately Louis crumbled a piece of paper in his hand and made it ball before throwing it at Ella, who just smirked at him when the ball didn't even hit her.

"Let it be guys. I am fine," I told them as I got up and adjusted my dress as I picked up my handbag and looked back at them.

"Let's go back. The break is going to over soon," I said and they nodded as they fetched their bags and we walked back to our campus chatting and gossiping when I saw my phone ringing. The caller id displayed Caleb and I excused myself earning teasing from my friends as I walked near to a tree and picked up the call.

"What are you up to?" was the first thing he said as I picked up the call. I chuckled remembering that each time, he would ask me the same thing.

"I am in the uni, lunch break!"

"Oh!"

I leaned to the tree looking up at the old building. Recently, we have no topic to talk about and every time I have realized Caleb just asked me the same questions again and again perhaps trying his best to maintain the flow of our relationship. The week when he was gone, we were so chatty and chatted the whole night. The second week we controlled our chats not wanting to sleep while at work and ended up having less conversation and in the third week, it was the same old stuff like 'how are you? and what are you doing?'

Sometimes, I was scared, what if we end up losing interest in each other?

What if our long-distance relationship didn't work?

"I have something important to tell you," he said and I heard a little commotions as he spoke to someone else and then concentrated on me.

"Caleb?" my eyebrows instantly knotted up in confusion hearing a female voice next to him.

Who can call him using his first name?

"Are you in the office?" I asked wanting to know where he was. Curiosity got the best out of me as I stood straight wanting to know who she was.

Don't tell me its Hailey.

He has been meeting Hailey again?

What is she doing in his office?

"I am sorry Sang, I have to hang up now. I will call you in the night and tell you what I have to tell you. Bye!" he told me as he cut the call abruptly and I stared at the phone confused and at the same time, fuming with anger.

If it really was Hailey then god will only save you from me, Caleb. Trust me!

"Sometimes you are sad, sometimes you are agitated and sometimes you are angry. Just make up your mind already!" Louis stomped his feet while I concentrated on my book or should I say, I tried to concentrate. With Louis around me, he left no moment to make me remember why I was feeling down all of a sudden.
