Ready For Anything (A Calum Hood Fanfiction) ON HOLD

Chapter 5

A/N Sorry I haven't updated in a while guys! I was sick for almost a week, but now I am back! A big shout out goes to @Cupcake_Nashty for making the cover for this fanfiction! And OMG. 144 reads?!?! Thank you! It means the world to me, seriously.

I looked at my phone for the 100th time in the last 5 minutes.

Where was Calum? Didn't he say he was meeting me at the park?

I nervously started twirling the end of a piece of my hair, glancing down the pathways leading to the fountain where I was sitting.

A splash of cold water suddenly hit my back, partially soaking my shirt.

Gasping, I whirled around, and there was Calum, laughing at my shocked expression.

"I-you-you-CALUM!" I yelled standing up.

"Hey, Heaven," he replied, trying to stifle his chuckles.

"Ugh, I'm all wet. Whatever, it's sunny out, I'll dry," I sighed, trying not to make a scene.

"Sorry, but it was a perfect opportunity and I just had to!" Calum snickered. "Anyways, I wanted to show you a few things. Follow me!" And he took off down the path that headed towards town.

I slipped my phone in my back pocket and ran after him.

***

"Wait up Calum!" I yelled. I'd been running after him for a while and had a huge cramp.

As if on cue, he suddenly stopped and I crashed into his back.

"Oof! Why'd you stop?" I asked, frustrated.

"This is the first stop," he replied, pointing to the building in front of us.

It was a large, very fancy-looking hall, and a sign outside the entrance said, "Wedding Reception" with an arrow pointing inside.

"Why are we here?" I asked, totally confused.

"Shh. Come on," he stated, sprinting towards the back of the building.

I jogged after him and once I caught up to him, I grabbed his arm.

"Explain what the hell we're doing," I said sternly, my curiosity overpowering my shyness.

"What does it look like? We're sneaking in!" Calum laughed, like it was obvious.

"NO! I am NOT getting arrested for crashing a wedding!" I exclaimed angrily.

"We won't get arrested. I promise."

"How do I know I can trust you? I barely know you."

"You have to decide that for yourself."

I stood there for a moment, just looking at him.

"I trust you," I said quietly.

He smiled at me and took my hand, opening the back door.

We sneaked through a storage room and peeked into the reception hall. Well dressed people holding champagne glasses milled around the beautifully decorated room. The bride and groom were at the back of the room getting their pictures taken.

Calum motioned for me to follow him and confidently strolled into the hall.

I stumbled after him, hoping furiously that, magically, no one would notice us.

As a waiter walked past, Calum swooped two champagne glasses off the tray and handed me one.

I took a sip and the sweet fizzy liquid happily surprised my tongue.

I then noticed that Calum had wandered over to the massive wedding cake by the bar.

I rushed over to him, receiving countless confused and disgusted looks from the guests.

"What. Are. You. Doing." I said through my teeth.

Calum smirked mischievously, and then, stuck his pointer finger.... into the icing.

I just gaped in absolute horror as he ate the icing off his finger.

"Oh my gosh, did you just do that?" I asked in disbelief.

"Sure did," he smiled, taking a gulp of his drink.

Before I could scold him, he waded through the guests towards the small stage.

I watched as he went over to the sound equipment and plugged in his phone, then walked up to the microphone.

Oh no. No no no no no no no no.

"Excuse me everyone, could I have your attention," he spoke into the mic.

A hush came over the whole room and everyone turned to see who had spoken.

"This song is dedicated to the bride and groom. Congrats!" he said, and then pushed a button on his phone.

I closed my eyes and groaned.

We were totally getting arrested.
