curious guy;

Caleb Peterson. 37. Single. Straight. Journalist.“Still can’t believe my boring home town’s been making the news like this.”

[caleb--peterson]

allie-willis​:

“I guess I do owe you a round since I was the one that bumped into you.” Allie admitted.  She felt his eyes on her again but it didn’t feel he same.  She nodded, moving towards the King’s Head with him. “What is your drink of choice?”

“That you totally do. I also don’t mind getting the first round.” Caleb shrugged a little bit, as he walked next to her. The flirting had seemed to stop he noticed. “I’m a whiskey type of guy. What about you?”

[caleb--peterson]

allie-willis​:

Allie wasn’t sure what was wrong with Caleb that he still wanted to go anywhere with her.  Her first impression was a mess that was just getting worse.  She’d gone from bumping into him to trying to seduce him, to getting upset and telling him they wouldn’t sleep together to telling him that she needed a drink in the middle of the day. She brushed her hair back from her face as she looked at him.  If she was more interesting, or important, maybe she would worry that he had ulterior motives. But for now she would just assume that he was bored and enjoying watching the trainwreck that was Allie Willis. “King’s Head?”

Caleb wasn’t even sure if he was going to sleep with her or not. She was hot yes, and he couldn’t deny that. Still there was a chance that Caleb wasn’t going to sleep with her and he was okay with that. Nodding his head a little bit. “King’s Head it is. First round is on me.” He offered while looking over at her for a moment. “Come on let’s go and get you that drink.” He started walking towards the King’s Head.

allie-willis​:

Allie gave him a look as she studied him. She wasn’t sure why he would still want to grab a drink when she said nothing would happen though she supposed that there was a chance she could change her mind about it.  Especially if there was alcohol involved.  She looked down at her hand that had been in his and laughed at herself for a moment.  “Make it something stronger?”

Caleb noticed the look, but he just looked back at her. Waiting for his answer. Even if they weren’t going to sleep together, Caleb still wanted to get to know her. When she agreed but she wanted something stronger, he nodded his head. “Yeah, I’m sure we can arrange that. Got a favorite place in mind?”

[caleb--peterson]

allie-willis​:

“Everyone in Baberton has things to hide, don’t they?” Allie mused.  She nodded at the name. She was pretty sure she’d been one of Annie’s friends but she’d never paid much mind to any of that. Kyle probably knew her.  When he stopped, she pulled her hand back from his.  She shook her head at his words, letting out a little laugh. “Look, you were hot and I was going to fuck you but I’m not into this whole I have potential bullshit so I’m just going to pass on the coffee but thank you.”

“That they do.” But Caleb was a curious guy, he always had been. When she pulled her hand back. Clearly he had struck a nerve without meaning to do so. “I see. Well if you want we can still go and get coffee from somewhere else and talk about the potential you don’t have. Or something.”

[caleb--peterson]

allie-willis​:

“I know there is a chance that you’ll lock me up in your basement but I have to assume that it’s a smaller chance than you harassing me if you find out where I live. That’s why we are going to your place.” Allie pointed out.  Besides, she’d always been to unimportant to end up on -A’s real radar.  She shrugged at the question, looking back up at him. “What if there isn’t any more to me?”

“Okay, good point. But you won’t have to worry about either. Trust me on that one. I’m from Baberton so it’s not like I can hide if I did either of those things. You might know my cousin’s kid. Ruby Peterson.” Caleb continued to walk next to her for a moment before he stopped this way he could look at her. “I have a feeling there is a lot to you. But you don’t let people see it or let anyone in. I’m guessing its because you have been hurt before.” 

[caleb--peterson]

allie-willis​:

Allie smiled when he gave her hand a squeeze, following him as he started to lead the way. “I feel like you already know everything you need to about me.” She teased.

“This is what I know. Your name is Allie, you bump into random people on the street and when they offer you coffee you suggest going back to their place, even with a psychopath running around.” Caleb glanced over at her for a moment. “What I would like to know is more about who you are besides all of this.”

[caleb--peterson]

allie-willis​:

Allie watched the way that her running her tongue over her lip had made him do the same, smirking to herself. She nodded, moving closer to him and taking his hand. “Take me home.” She smirked, brushing her hair back.

Caleb noted how forward she was and he couldn’t deny that he did in fact like that. A lot. “Let’s go.” He gave her hand a gentle squeeze. “So Allie, tell me more about you.” He started to walk towards his place, as he looked over at her. Not taking his hand away.

[caleb--peterson]

allie-willis​:

Allie could feel his eyes on her and it was a feeling she enjoyed. Especially when those eyes were on somebody like him. Running her tongue over her lip, she smiled coyly. “You know, there’s nothing like coffee from a home coffee pot.  I bet you have a great coffee maker at your place…”

Caleb couldn’t help it, he enjoyed checking her out. Hearing her comment, he couldn’t help but grin. Running his tongue over his lower lip for a moment. “You are right about that. I do have a great coffee maker..So if you would like I can make us some coffee there.”

[caleb--peterson]

allie-willis​:

“Is it?” Allie smirked slightly. She felt a small flush on her cheeks when he called her beautiful. Maybe this is what she needed to get her mind off of Kyle and Damien. “Where should we go get coffee?”

“It is.” Caleb grinned while looking over at her. She was beautiful there was no question about that. “Where is your favorite spot?”

[caleb--peterson]

allie-willis​:

“I can never say no to coffee, or any kind of drink for that matter.” Allie admitted. She ran her hand down his arm before smirking and moving it back to her side. “You don’t mind taking a pretty girl to coffee?” She teased.

“That is good for me to remember.” Caleb chuckled lightly. He couldn’t deny that her hand on his arm felt nice. “Not one bit. Especially because she is beautiful.” 

[caleb--peterson]

allie-willis​:

“Positive.” Allie smiled. If there was one thing she was good at it, it was smiling at men.  She quirked her brow slightly at his words as she studied him. “You want to get me a coffee because I bumped into you?” She teased, moving her hand to his forearm. “You really don’t have to do all that.”

Caleb smiled back at her. He couldn’t deny her smile was pretty. “Yeah I would. But only if you would like.” He felt her hand on his forearm, and he grinned. “I don’t really mind doing it.”

[caleb--peterson]

allie-willis​:

Allie furrowed her brow slightly. “Yeah, yeah, I’m okay.” She smiled, pushing away her other thoughts.  She looked at his hand for a moment before shaking it. “Allie.”

“You sure?” Caleb questioned, raising a brow slightly. He shook her hand gently. “Nice meeting you, Allie. Now that we are acquainted can I get you a coffee for the drive by basically.”

[caleb--peterson]

allie-willis​:

Allie nodded, slightly embarrassed. “Yeah, I’m okay. I just need to pay more attention to where I’m going.”

“It happens to the best of us. You seem up in your head. Is everything okay?” Caleb questioned, looking over at her before extending his hand. “I’m Caleb.”

[caleb--peterson]

allie-willis​:​

Allie had been walking through town when she almost bumped into someone.  Stepping aside at the last minute she looked up. “Sorry.”

Caleb felt someone bump into him and he wasn’t going to snap at them or anything like that. That would be rude. “It’s oaky really. Are you okay?”

[caleb--peterson]

“Well I think that went well.” Caleb muttered to himself as he stepped out of the newspaper. Maybe he was thinking something more permanent for right now which is why he asked for a meeting with Eric. And it seemed like it went well. // @secretsummerstarters​

“You’re a saint,” she muttered as she took a small handful and began to snack on them. “Seriously, thank you. I think the last thing I ate was a small energy bar this morning.”

“I try.” Caleb shrugged a little bit. Maybe saint was pushing it or something but he did try to be a decent man. “Yeah, you definitely need more than just that.”
