IS IT LOVE? CTH

I've been waiting one month for you to say that.

After Calum had exited the shower and was ready we took the train to Manchester so we could do a day of shopping in the Trafford Centre. It was one massive shopping centre with a wide range of shops and the biggest food court I've ever been in. I always came here to buy clothes and other sort of things.

Calum and I passed the bus stops and walked towards the entrance having normal conversation. I was surprised when he linked our hands together as we reached the door, but I don't know what came over me when I didn't pull way. I guess I liked his comfort. He clung onto me so we wouldn't loose each other because this place was absolutely mobbed.

Our first stop was the Vans store. I needed new trainers and Calum wanted a new snapback and a backpack. We were in the shop for ages, Calum had already paid for his items but I was still selecting.

"Cal what onesssss?" I asked with no clue what to get.

"Babe why can't you just pick?" he whined obviously bored about spending 20 minutes watching me pace around looking for shoes.

"Because I don't know what ones I like" I sighed.

"Pick a few you like and I'll give you my expertise" he chuckled.

"Ok well I like the all black ones a lot but I don't know" I said biting my nails glancing at the rows of trainers.

I saw Calum glance at his feet and back to me "get them" he smiled.

I looked down to see he was wearing the exact same pair as the ones on the shelf. I sighed knowing I'd have to pick another pair.

"I'm being serious Mia we'd look cute together" he said rocking on his heels with his hands dug in his front pockets.

"Fine, I'll buy them" I laughed.

I sort of regretted my decision after I paid for them but Calum wanted to accomplish the matching clothes couple sort of thing. Wait. We aren't a couple. What is going through my mind?

I snapped out of my trance as we left the shop.

"Where to next?" I asked.

"Anywhere my princess wants to go" he said tucking his arm around my waist.

"Princess?" I asked.

"Yeh" he smiled back.

I couldn't help from smiling myself, even though we aren't dating he sure acts like it. It's comforting and all but if he really wants to be my boyfriend he needs to ask before his window closes. He's been flirting with me ever since we met and hasn't even got the courage to ask me out. If he doesn't feel that way then he is sending me mixed messages.

About 6 shops later I was already holding 4 bags and Calum had three. We were now in HMV looking at the CD's. I had 3 albums in my hand, Future Hearts, American Beauty/American Psycho and 48:13. Cal had also selected Future Hearts and was now looking for a new band t-shirt. He selected a Green Day t-shirt and froze on the way to pay for them.

Good Girls played through out the store. He laughed it off and began walking again.

I couldn't get over the fact that nobody had recognized Calum today. He might have been wearing sun glasses and a snapback but I thought surely anyone could know him from somewhere. Turns out I was wrong.

Once we had walked around every shop that looked appealing we both had double the amount of bags but plenty money on us to go buy food.

Being at the other side of the centre it was a long walk to the food court. Looking like a couple we were walking with our hands linked, passing a lot of people. Smiling and laughing about the past month of the tour but suddenly Calum's cheery expression dropped and so did his movements, his eyes focusing on something.

It was her. She was leaning against a wall, her tongue shoved down a guys throat, in public! Wasn't Olivia meant to be in LA? Or did she really not want to attend their tour? How low can someone honestly be?

I stepped in front of Calum and took his other hand. His mouth was wind open shocked at the sight in front of him.

"I thought she was going to LA? Why wou-"

"Cal listen to me" I cut him off.

His eyes dropped to the floor.

"Look at me Cal" I said squeezing his hands.

His eyes finally met mine. I couldn't make out his expression. It was mixed with hurt, anger and pissed.

"She's not worth it, okay?" I said.

"You" he replied.

"What?" I asked puzzled.

"You're worth it, you're the one I should be with. Despite our fallouts we've always came back together with care. You are the only one who likes me for who I am. You are the only one I love." he said brushing my cheek with his thumb.

"Well you are my boyfriend" I said laughing. Remembering the night on the phone when that was my excuse to my mum.

"Real or not real?" he smiled

"Real" I replied before he locked our lips together.

"I've been waiting one month for you to say that" he whispered while the biggest smile on his face.

I couldn't wait to spend another month on tour with him but this time I had the privilege to call him my boyfriend.
