Only If You Know
Chapter 16
Olivia's last week was fairly calm. Caleb has become more approachable. And she, too, was coming in terms of having her best friends back in her life. It also relieved Drake that Olivia's life was finally getting back on track.
Olivia was eating breakfast with the Knights when Caleb reached for her and asked for a favour. “Can I tag along with you? My car is gone for servicing.”
Olivia was taken aback. She never imagined the day would come when Caleb would ask for her help.
“Um, sure.”
“You are not a bad driver,” Caleb said as they drove to school.
“Thank you.”
“So, if you don’t mind, may I ask you a question?” He asked her nervously.
“Yes.”
“Is something going on between you and Prof. Drake? It’s fine if you don’t want to tell me. I mean, even if something is going on, I wouldn’t tell anyone about it.”
Olivia laughed as a result of Caleb’s words. It’s absurd to think she and Drake could ever be a couple.
“Nothing is going on between us. But I am not sure why you wouldn’t want to know if I ever had a relationship with Drake. Don’t you want me to be gone from your life?”
“That is something I would never do. Yes, we may have started off on the wrong foot, but I am okay with having you around. I am really sorry. I was wrong about you.”
“Apology accepted.” She gave him a friendly smile.
“But, that doesn’t mean we are best friends.” He told her.
Caleb simply wants to discover Olivia’s truth, but he does not want to give her hope that she could have a relationship with him. Even if it’s just a friendly relationship, he still didn’t fully trust her.
“Wouldn’t even dream about it.” She sighed and rolled her eyes.
Olivia’s phone abruptly rang, interrupting their conversation.
“Do not answer the phone while driving. Stop the car or play it over the loudspeaker.” Caleb ordered.
Olivia rolled her eyes again but put it on the loudspeaker. If she had stopped the car, they would have been late for school, so keeping it on the loudspeaker seemed like a better option.
