Hey guys, sorry for the late update. Been thinking of how I should go ahead with this story. Hope you like the direction it's going. And thanx for the song suggestion @HornyForShawn007! It does fit Charlie's and Caleb's situation. This chapter's for you and all you guys who have been here since I started this story. There are too many for me to type. But you know who you are...
So, enjoy this chapter, ok!
Caleb's POV
I looked on helplessly as my old iPhone 5s refused to switch on. Damnit! Don't you dare die on me, you old piece of-argh! I took a deep breath and stared ahead. I've been in Rio for almost a week now and hadn't been able to call anyone since my phone refused to be switched on and just flat out died as soon as I touched down in Rio airport a week ago. All my numbers are in my phone and I can't really buy a phone here. Guess I'll just have to wait until I'm back in the states.

I missed Charlie like crazy. Not hearing her voice before the swimming tournament almost made me lose focus. I was glad that I would be back for her graduation in May, which would be next week. I already had it all planned. I even took a week off to spend time with her, which my coach did not like one bit, but had to give me since there would be no tournaments for at least a month. But I would be busy again in June.

I felt something crumpled in my pants pocket. I took it out. Oh, that Miss World's number..I dunno, I forgot her name. She wanted me to call and gave me her number like this since my phone died on me. She was very into me and slipped me her number when her manager and publicist weren't looking. I scoffed and threw the number into the bin near my bed.

I would be back in the States tonight. I couldn't wait. I kicked myself everyday for forgetting to get myself a new iPad when the old one went kaput a few weeks ago. It was one of the firsts iPads, so it was expected to die sooner or later. I didn't really have much time to go looking for the latest gadget whatnot. Argh, gotta get it all sorted out when I get back.

It's only a year until the Olympics. After that, I want to focus on Charlie. Got a lot of things planned for her. I smiled when I imagined her face.

Charlie's POV
I put on the mortar board and secured it with bobby pins on my head. I took a deep breath and walked out of the ladies'. Mum was waiting for me outside. She perked up when she saw me. I went to her.

"You look wonderful honey. I can't believe you're graduating soon. My baby's all grown up." Mum chocked a little bit. I rolled my eyes and hugged her. Then my father came up and put his arm around me.

"Come on Sarah, enough with the crying. Let's go get you graduated Charlie."Dad said and the three of us went to the auditorium.
After I have got my scroll, we walked out of the auditorium with other families. Just as I stepped out onto the quad, I saw a familiar, tall figure. My heart choked in my throat. Caleb. He was wearing a black shirt and a pair of dark jeans. His hair was tousled and he had a ready smile on his lips. He walked up to us. I stared at him. God he was so beautiful. I suddenly realized what all the fangirls meant when they say I don't deserve him. I really don't. Those psycho teen girls were right.

Caleb greeted my parents. They were happy to see him. Then they went off for a bit to give us some privacy.
When they were gone, suddenly, I was engulfed in the most comfortable hug ever. It almost made me tear up. But something was still nagging at me. Using all the willpower I had, I puIled myself out of Caleb's arms. He looked confused.

"Baby, what's wrong?" Caleb asked worriedly, peering at my face.

"Why couldn't I get a hold of you for the past 3 weeks?" I asked with a deadpan face, averting my eyes away from his clear hazel ones.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you. I just got a new phone. Like literally yesterday. Mine died just as I touched down in Rio airport. And my iPad died as well.. They're both really old and I didn't really have time to go out and buy them. Plus, I was in Brazil. Kinda hard for me to go looking for phones configured to the Telco in US. I just got back yesterday and I flew here as fast as I could. I really tried Baby..I'm really sorry. You can't imagine how much I missed you. And I couldn't call you coz, well, as much as I love you, I can't seem to remember your number.. Please forgive me Baby.." Caleb pleaded and looked at me forlornly, holding my wrists in his hands.
Wordlessly, I grabbed him to me, suddenly realizing that I missed him so much. I buried my face in his neck as he kissed my hair and held me tight. The 3 weeks of not being able to talk to him seems irrelevant now. He's here now, that's all that matter. All the hatred and abuse I've gone through all month seened to melt away... At least for now.

"Hey, why are you crying? I'm here now." Caleb said as he put one hand on my cheek and the other was on my waist, holding me close against him. I smiled a little and Caleb kissed me softly. I felt safe and relieved he was here. I held him tighter. It made me forget momentarily all the shit I went through these past month.

"Congratulations, baby. I really missed you." Caleb murmured into my hair.
He put his arm around my shoulder then and handed me a huge bouquet of flowers. I took it and kissed his cheek. Then I returned the robe and we joined my parents for lunch at a nice steakhouse nearby. It was nice and made me forget momentarily about every negative thing that had been happening lately.

My parents went back to their hotel room after spending the whole with me and Caleb sight-seeing. They were going back the next day and my stuff had been shipped to my hometown, so basically I had no place to stay. So, smiling gleefully, Caleb told me that I was staying with him before I go home. So when it was getting late, Caleb took me back to his hotel room.

As soon as he closed the door and switched on the lights, Caleb had me tight in his arms. He kissed me and held me. I held him tightly. Oh God, I miss him so much. Caleb kissed me and murmured my name and kept saying how much he missed me. As he was peeling off his jacket and mine, I caught sight of us in a mirror nearby. Caleb looked hot all turned on. Me, I felt I looked ridiculous and out of place in Caleb's arms. Caleb should be with someone smaller, then the picture would look perfect. I thought we looked awkward.

Wait, stop it. I couldn't think like that. I love Caleb and no one is going to tear us apart. No one. I squeezed my eyes shut as Caleb pulled my dress off me and murmuring my name and how beautiful I was. He pushed me gently onto the bed and continued to undress me, leaving a trail of kisses along my body.

Soon, we were naked and I dared to open my eyes. Through mirror nearby, I could see us intertwined on the bed with Caleb lying between my legs, his body sculpted and beautiful wherease me..oh God. How could he kissed me on my wobbly bits and not gag. I looked at myself and I almost gagged. I closed my eyes shut and tried to enjoy the moment. Only thing that matters is Caleb. And this moment. I've missed him too much. I moaned when Caleb's hand found my centre and his lips were nuzzling my neck, leaving tiny lovebites all over it.

"Caleb..." I called his name when I felt I was close. Caleb looked into my eyes and stopped manipulating my centre. His eyes were full of desire. He was a bit breathless, but he didn't stop. He kissed me and rolled my nipple between his fingers. My breath hitched and I moaned.

"I'm going to do this all night long... We're not sleeping tonight..." Caleb said with a devilish grin. Then he put my nipple into his mouth and I was gone.

We made love all night. Caleb was true to his words. All thoughts of leaving him flew out the window when he finally moved inside me after months of not being able to see him. His eyes never leaving my face as he pushed forward and loved me. I still couldn't believe Caleb, the snivelling boy who constantly bothered me when were kids is the man that he is now. And that he loves me and is making love to me. It was surreal and I thought this is too good to be true. I knew it wouldn't last. Caleb has to outgrow me somehow. He's a somebody now and he deserves somebody better and more his match.

During the early hours of the morning, I stared at Caleb's sleeping face a mere inches from mine. I carressed his cheek and he stirred a little. It was dawn and Caleb was still sleeping. I couldn't sleep. Too many things were running through my head. I have made plans for my future. And that future does not include Caleb. It sounds harsh, but it was the only thing that I could do to survive this.
************************************
Caleb had made plans to take me on a vacation. Five days in Paris. That's all the vacation time he could weasel out of his coach. But it was enough. We spent the best 5 days together. It was like nothing changed. Like Caleb hadn't been away. And like I was never stalked, abused or humiliated in public by Caleb's fangirls. I got too comfortable. I forgot that it was only for 5 days.

We touched down in JFK at noon. We planned on staying 1 night in New York before Caleb had to go back to Colorado Springs. We were walking towards the luggage area when suddenly a huge crowd of people with cameras started runnibg towards us. I gasped and Caleb held me tighter and looking confused.

"Oh my God, it's Caleb! Caleb!" A girl's voice suddenly cried and there were screams as a mob of girls stampeded towards us. I took a step back and we were surrounded by the papparazzi and the fangirls trying to get to Caleb. In the tussle, we got separated and I was pushed out if the mob. I stood helplessly as I watched the fans surrounding Caleb.

"Charlie! Where are you, Baby?" I could hear Caleb calling me but I couldn't get to him.

"Charlie! Hey, that's Charlie!" A mob of photographers started clicking away. I was blinded by the flashes from the camera and people pushing around me.

Questions were hollered by the paps to Caleb. He kept trying to get to me. I could see between my fingers which were on my face. I prayed feverishly for it to stop. It was too much..I can't, I just can't...
