Cross- Roads:- What To Choose Love Or Friendship 23 Caleb 2

It was not like Caleb was alien to the concept of love, but he himself had never been in love because he was scared of love. The way he had seen his father destroy himself in the name of love in past few years and then he saw what happened to Aaron, he started to run away from love before he got to know what it was like to be in love. He had always seen an ugly side of love at his home and then he almost lost his precious friend because of this love although there was Ginny and Keith's example also to make him believe in love but till that time fear of love had made a very strong place in Caleb's heart and no matter how hard he tried he couldn't be able to shake that feeling off, so he decided that he was going to be flirt, playboy for the rest of his life but then like a fresh breath of air Hayley came into his life and all his resolute to stay like that gone out of window. Now he wants to trust and love and want somebody to love him back. No, not just somebody he wants Hayley to love him. At first Caleb was scared that Hayley might be like those girls who only care about themselves in the name of being independent but the more time he spent with her the more he got to know that she was someone who cares about her mother a lot and she is considerate towards other people's feelings. She had a sweet and genuine heart and top of that big expressive eyes. She also had a brilliant mind that Caleb could say this by his personal experience not by his observation. Caleb still remembered that day when he got to experience the brilliant mind that Hayley possessed.

That day was one of their Sat.u.r.day's tour, they were roaming around the city for quite a sometime now they both were hungry, so Caleb asked Hayley what she wanted to eat and before she could reply Caleb's phone rang and he took the call Hayley could see that there was something wrong with something but she couldn't tell what was it so she just looked at Caleb and waited for him patiently when Caleb finished his call and got back to her side Hayley asked him what happened in concerned tone. He tried to look nonchalant but Hayley could sense that something was not right, so she prodded for him to tell her what was wrong and then he told her about the call from his secretary. There was this property that his company wants to acquire and want to develop it into a resort but the owner of the property wasn't ready to sell it to them no matter how much money they offered to him.
