90 Get A Mate

Christians scrutinizing gaze was hard to avoid, so to break the tension Caleb declared, "We won't have to pretend". He shrugged. "We are dating for real".

  Christian's raised one of his eyebrows before shifting his gaze to Ashton. Ashton nodded slightly in acknowledgement and anticipation. He waited for him to lash out on him for breaking his promise or whatever, but Christian simply said, "That settles it. Come on", Christian gestured his head to follow him before getting out of the room himself. 

Ashton breathed with relief when he noticed Caleb was smirking at him. Caleb winked at him after which he left Ashton all by himself in his room. Ashton took his time familiarising himself to his surroundings as he looked around. He still didn't feel like unpacking so for now he simply put the locket away beneath his soft mattress.

"What happened"? Caleb asked his brother as soon as he left the room.
