Mine (HOOD) [COMPLETED]

12; Lunchtime

Calum's POV

Lunchtime at the Bodega, 12-ish sounds okay?

I press send after writing that text to Shay,I'm so excited that I get to see my son again. Remembering the few minutes I had with him on the beach building sandcastles makes me smile like a little kid. Maybe that's just the effect of kids on you, you know. They remind you how stress-free and happy you were being a kid. My phone dings, hoping it's a reply from Shay. 

Sure, see you later .

I pull my fist in excitement, "Yes!". I quickly grab my jacket to go out scouting for a present for my little boy, but then Luke appears in front of my bedroom.

"Where you going, dude?", he asks curiously.

"Out", I answered bluntly cause I do not want to seem childish going to a toy store. 

"Out where? Specifics, Calum", Luke sigh deeply

I feel annoyed all of the sudden and I was about to burst out like why you all up in my business shit and it's unnecessary anger so I take a deep breath. 

"I'm having lunch with Tommy and Shay today", and Luke jumps up in the air and he almost hit the ceiling cause he's a skinny giant. 

"Ah! Can I come?", he asked. Then Ashton walk by and heard Luke ask the question so he stops his steps to the kitchen. "Where you guys going? I wanna come if you guys are going anywhere", he grins so wide. 

"He's going to meet Shay and Tommy!", Luke blurted out and my mouth is open in disbelief. That's just it, my friends are blabber mouths. Even Shay knows how to keep a secret. 

"Oh, is Rachel going to be there?", Ash asked me but then Luke asks Ashton back, "who's Rachel?"

"Shay's cousin, remember? Long brown hair, wears glasses and sticks to Shay wherever she goes?", Ashton helps Luke jogging his memory and then he widened his eyes. 

"Yeah, I remember her! Her laugh was so loud". Then all I hear is both of them having a whole other conversation. So I decided to ignore them and walk out of the door and they were to engrossed with Rachel to notice I walk out the penthouse. 

----------------------------------------------------------------

I drive to the toystore and walk in, I pull my hoodie of my jacket up cause I do not want to attract any unwanted attention. I ask the promoter with my head down, "hey, buddy. Where can I find car models?"

The promoter points his finger to the aisle and I raised my head to look where he's pointing at.

"Calum Hood!", he shouts. shit

I can't run now, so I gotta suck it up. "Yeah, man. Nice to meet you", I pull my hand out for a handshake and he shakes my hand back. 

"I'm sorry, but my daughter really likes you and your band", he says excitedly. 

"Thanks, tell her I appreciate her support", I said and meant every word but then he got a better idea. 

"Can I just take a video of you saying that so I can show my daughter? It will only take a minute", he said pulling his phone out of his pocket. I know I said I didn't want to attract any unwanted attention but I'll do whatever to say thank you to the fans. I would prefer this anytime rather than a mob of girls that has sexual tension. The moment I we were recognized, of course it was great being chased by a mob of girls who want to sleep with you but as times pass, I want more than just being chased around.I want people to love our music, where we pour our heart and souls in, that's the most important thing to me.
