Pov: CalebThere was really no need for Eric to comment on how awkward the situation was. You could cut the tension with a knife. I had considered not attending the lunch that morning. I had woken up at six o'clock that morning. My body was exhausted but my internal clock was so used to being up by that time, I had no control over it.I tried to go back to sleep but I was not able to, unlike my fiancé who was snoozing away blissfully unaware of my struggles. She looked too cute in her sleep, it was a stark contrast to how fierce she was in real life.Sometimes I couldn’t believe that I was actually engaged to Brianna. After dating on and off for almost ten years, it was the only thing to do. I popped the question three months ago. I had taken her on a trip to Paris and proposed to her by the seine river, with a direct view of the Eiffel Tower. I had gone all out; flowers, a string quartet, candles.The whole production cost a pretty penny but I was happy to drop the bundle for her. It

Pov: VictoriaI had never been so glad to sit down for a meal in my life. I had expected our interaction to be weird but that was a lot worse than I thought it would be. What was that!? I tried to be subtle and walk to the table really fast so that I was not stuck sitting next to Caleb but Eric beat me to the seat next to his dad so I had to sit beside my mom and Caleb sat between us.“Great! Now I have to talk to him!” I thought to myself.The appetizers were brought out. It was a platter of Baked Brie With Figs, Pistachios, And Oranges. It looked absolutely delicious but I could not stand the sight of it. I was still paying for the mistakes I had made last night. My stomach felt very uneasy so I passed.“Why aren’t you eating honey?” my mom asked with a concerned look on her face. “I just don’t want to fill up before the main course. I had a heavy breakfast,” I lied.On cue, my stomach rumbled. I prayed that it was not so loud that Mom could hear it. The truth was that I was starvi

Victoria's Pov:“No way! I loved that cake. You are really good,'' Caleb said.It felt so good to hear him say that.“Thanks, I’m glad you liked it.''We both kept quiet for a moment. I kept thinking of something to say. I felt like we had exhausted all the safe topics. I turned my attention back to the rest of the table, trying to ignore the urge that I had to continue engaging Caleb in the conversation for the rest of the lunch. ***“How was it?'' Alice asked me as soon as I entered her door.I had passed by her place after lunch because she called me and told me that my shoe had been found. I had decided to go pick it up on the way home. I had taken a week off work for the wedding and intended on spending most of it in Sedona.“It was weird! I couldn’t wait for it to be over,” I answered as I sat my ass down on her couch, “I couldn't wait for it to be over.”“That bad huh?” she asked.“Yes! We ran out of things that we could actually talk about, you know, things that would not mak

Caleb POV:I walked around my father’s office. I had not been there for several years. I was not involved in the day-to-day running of the family’s businesses so I did not have any reason to be in Dad’s office. I had always felt guilty about that. I knew that even though he was exceedingly proud of me, Dad would have loved me if I took over the business.I was his oldest son so it only made sense. Luckily for him, Eric had stepped up. He had always had an interest in Business Administration and he exceeded all expectations whenever Dad delegated a duty to him. He thrived in the business world and so he became the COO of the company in my place.He genuinely loved what he did. You could tell by the way he spoke about it. to be honest, it was all gibberish to me. I, however, was still a shareholder in the company so every once in a while, especially when I was home, I would check-in. Besides, it was always interesting to see Eric in his element.I picked up a framed photo of all of us

Victoria's POV: I woke up again at ten o’clock feeling much better. The muscles on my body felt incredibly sore from lifting and moving the boxes. I lay in bed staring at the ceiling for half an hour contemplating the amount of work that I had to do.“We have to do it.” I corrected myself. Caleb and I had to work as a team in order for us to finish everything before I had to get back to work. It was not by choice. My mom had successfully guilted me into doing it. After she had told me that I would be working with Caleb, I told her that I could not do it anymore.She tried pleading with me but I would not budge then she changed her tactics and said that it was what a good daughter would do. It was incredibly manipulative and I knew that she would not go there unless she was desperate. I felt guilty, not because of what she said, but because I had forced her to pull that card. I finally reluctantly gave on.I asked her if Eric would also be joining us but she didn’t have the answer.

Victoria's POV:“No, my schedule is wide open. I’ll come over right away. Do you need me to bring anything?” he asked. I thought about what we could possibly need for the move. My mom and I had already done most things. “We don’t really need that many things. Just maybe bring a few more boxes and some tape.”“Cool, I’ll see you in thirty minutes.” He hung up the phone.“And now, we wait,” I said out loud to no one in particular.True to his word, thirty minutes later I heard him pull up in front of the house. I went to open the door before he could knock it. I saw him off leading the many boxes that he had brought. He was wearing a black muscle shirt that showed off his impressive physique, some faded well worn jeans, and a baseball cap.I couldn’t help but ogle at the view of his back and how the various muscle groups moved and contracted with every movement. “Are you going to come to help me carry these in?” he asked, snapping me out of the trance I was in.I felt really embarrass

Caleb POV:I was so glad that I apologized to Tori. I could finally put the tension behind us. She seemed to feel the same since she was more relaxed around me. I didn’t feel like I needed to walk around eggshells with her anymore and it felt great.“Maybe I could even get my best friend back,” I thought to myself. I knew that maybe I was being too optimistic but I genuinely believed that we had a shot of getting there.It would have taken a while to catch up with everything that had happened in each other’s lives. Ten years was a long time but I believe that we could get there eventually. It might have taken a while but we had a lot of time. Our parents were married now which meant that we would constantly be in each other’s lives from now on. When I asked her about her relationship, I knew that I was taking a risk. She had never been a big fan of that particular topic. I was genuinely shocked that she chose to answer my question. I thought that she would avoid it. She had a boyfrie

Victoria POV:Caleb was engaged. To Brianna. I thought about that at length the next day. It was driving me crazy. I didn’t understand how he could fall in love with someone like her. I watched as the movers I had hired carried everything to their truck. It pained me to have to pay for the service because movers were not cheap but I could not spend another minute with Caleb. I felt so betrayed by him. I had to talk to someone so I called Alice.“Hello, sunshine! How is it going with Caleb? Have you two patched things up?” she asked, sounding very curious.I had not told her anything last night as we had initially agreed upon and I was sure that the suspense was killing her but I did not have it in me to indulge her so I went straight to the point. “Did you know that Caleb and Brianna were engaged?” I asked.“Ah!” that was the only thing that she said before she kept quiet.Her silence was completely telling. “How could you not tell me! This is the kind of thing that I need to know.
