Fake Love - Luke Hemmings

Chapter 27

Calums POV –

Loud footsteps echoed through the halls as my feet brought me closer to the door. A million thoughts of rejection and success raced through my mind. Anxiously I walked to the already open door.  Every part of me begged it was Ella that ran off before. Her high heels didn’t help in her plan to stay quiet and out of site

I’d never truly understood why it was so hard to express your love to someone. When I was younger, I thought it would be easy seen as though I would say it to my parents practically every day. But this moment here defeats all those foolish thoughts I used to have. I now fully understood how hard it was. Just the thought of being rejected after confessing everything was the worst feeling for anyone to endure. My hand literally shook and I could already feel myself sweating

Come on Calum, you can do it

What if I can’t?

Then you will spend the rest of your life alone and miserable

Screw you conscience

Still shaking, I lift my hand to the door and pause. My fingers and the wood of the door were separated by only a few millimetres. I couldn’t do it. I just cou-

“I cant believe he actually loves you back!” Tiffanys voice practically screamed from the other side of the room

“Shh, can you please be quiet. He might be talking about a different Ella. He could be talking about Ella Henderson or something” Ellas voice makes my heart leap but sink. She thinks I wouldn’t love her back

“Calum?” Ella gasps. Shit did I say that out loud? Hesitantly, I walk from behind the open door and show my embarrassed face. Ella looks mortified and Tiffany just stands there with a smirk on her face. My eyes come into contact with Tiffs and immediently she motions over to where Ella is sitting. She almost looks frozen from how shocked she is and I smile slightly. She can still look gorgeous even when she is in shock. My feet drag me over to the bed and I plonk down next to her.

“Im going to give you two sometime alone” Tiffany smiles and walks out the room, not before winking at us both

 

Ellas POV –

Calum comes over and sits next to me. I feel my heart beating a million times an hour but I ignore it and concentrate on what is happening

“I’m going to give you two sometime alone”  Tiffany winks and walks out the room leaving the two of us in silence.  My first instinct is too look down at my twiddling fingers. If Calum sees how embarrassed I look I am sure he would run screaming

“Why would you think I didn’t love you back?” He asks quickly and m heart beats even faster, an action I didn’t think was possible

“I just thought……….because of Luke and Tiffany…………………and what I did to them” I mumbled still not making eye contact. I can feel Calums eyes on me but it makes no influence to my actions

“Ella, everyone makes mistakes. Granted yours almost ruined the lives of two people.  But Ella that doesn’t mean I won’t………..love you” Calums voice send shivers down my spine and I smile at his choice of words at the end

“You really love me?” I whisper and finally lift my head. Calum is already looking at me with a slight smile on his face

“Yes. So much its scary. Look I never thought I would find myself falling for you. Bit here I am, truly, madly, deeply in love with you” He admits and I leap on him, hugging him with all my strength

“I love you too” I whisper and I feel his smile widen. Without warning he pulls back and gives my lips a peck. His action sends tingles through my body and I lean in again. This kiss is longer, and slower. To say it was perfect was an understatement. I pulled away and hugged him again

“Hey, why don’t I go get movies and a blanket? And we can cuddle all day” His smile automatically makes me smile and I nod my head. He gets up and pecks my forehead before leaving the room. Smiling still I collapse on the bed with my arms wide. Today was truly the best day ever

All my life I had never really thought someone could love me. With my mam and dad always working and my only friend being the maid, it was hard to believe love truly existed. My mother used to say

Your perspective of life will change as soon as you let it take you on an adventure

Love was my new adventure. It had just taken me a long time to realise that was the adventure I was waiting for. You see, when I was younger, I thought the adventure was going shopping. Or to an overpriced restaurant. But they weren’t adventures. They were luxuries that made the adventure seem unimportant and worthless. But adventures come free. All it takes is a little imagination and determination and you can go anywhere you want. Sure those times were fun but now I have a new path to embark on. And Calum would be my path. He seemed like my salvation. Like he was the one person that would make me feel normal. He would remind me and human and not some pampered princess that gets everything she demands.

That was my old life. And I am ready to start my new adventure…..
