Record Store - Calum Hood

Ch.3

-Calums' POV-

"Its you."

Those words repeated in my head. Knowing that Sophie likes me back was a good thing. I was just so shocked I didn't say anything back. I just layed down and went to sleep. I'll half to talk to her about this at work tomorrow.

-Sophies' POV-

After what happened yesterday I couldn't bare to see Calum. He just didn't say anything back, so what if he doesn't like me like that? I just really hope that it won't be awkward between us because really, it already was. I felt a buzz in my pocket and it was a text from Calum.

Bass boy:

Hey want to walk to work so we can talk?

Me:

Yeah sure.

I took a deep breath and walked out my apartment door, locking it. I walked next door to Calums apartment and knocked. I heard shuffling on the other side and the door opened.

"Hey." I said.

"Hey." Calum replied. "So uh let's get going I guess?"

"Uh yeah." I said.

We walked in silence the whole way to the store. It was an awkward silence since yesterday. Why did I say that? Everything would be fine if I never said anything! Ugh.

We walked into the store and there was Joe.

"Calum, Sophie there you Guys are!" He said cheerfully. "I was wondering if you guys could stay the whole night upstairs? I figured since its a Friday you guys could do something."

We both just stared and Calum replied for both of us.

"Yeah we'd love to."

I just looked at him wide eyes and jaw dropped. I can't spend a whole night in there with Calum! I mean I could, but after what I told him no!

"Thanks kids! Have a good night!" He said exiting the store.

It was only 6:30 and we had 4 more hours until the store closed. I put some records in their right boxes, bumped into Calum a couple times saying sorry and blushing, finished labeling the boxes, and checked out 13 peoples records. Pretty successful night.

Finally it was time to lock up and me and Calum went upstairs. Before we ran up there I grabbed the record player and some albums. I grabbed Green Day and The Foo Fighters. I played them and Calum was surprised.

"You like Green day?" He asked.

"Yeah one of my favourite bands." I replied.

"Same."

"What about the Foo Fighters?"

"They're up there. How about Van Halen?"

"They're up there."

"Hey Sophie?" He asked. "Can I tell you something?"

"Yeah sure."

"Ireallylikeyoutoo."

"I'm sorry what?"

He sighed. "I do. I really like you too." "Wanna maybe go out on a date?"

"Yeah I'd love to." I said.

"How about this as our date?"

"Yeah. That is actually a great idea."

"Well here we go." He said getting up.

Calum grabbed some pizza from the fridge and some pop to go with it. Calum put a blanket and a couple pillows on the ground and we sat on them.

After a couple hours of talking and laughing I think this was one of the best dates ever.

"Calum this is by far the best date ever. Thank you." I said.

"Anything for you." He said.

We just stared at each other before me and Calum both leaned over and our lips collided. He put his hand on my cheek and mine went to his hair.

"Wow." I said when we pulled away.

"Wow is right." Calum said.

"Wanna do it again?"

"Hell yeah."

-next morning-

I woke up curled up against Calums chest. It was warm and perfect and I never wanted to move. I turned over so we were chest to chest and I just admired everything about him. The way his mouth parts slightly when he snores, how his messy hair sticks in all directions, how his chest rises and falls so slowly, god he was perfect.

"Mhm goodmorning." Calum said.

"Morning." I smiled. "We should probably go back home and get dressed and ready for work again."

"Yeah, lets uh walk together." Calum said.

We cleaned up all our garbage, blankets, and pillows and headed home. Halfway home Calum grabbed my hand and held it. I held it back. We were both smiling stealing glances at each other every so often and it was perfect.

"Wanna come to my apartment when your done getting ready?" I asked.

"Yeah I'll be back in 20." He said pecking my lips.

I walked into my apartment quickly showering and changing. I got a quick drink and heard a knock on the door. Walking over and it was obviously Calum.

"Hey." He said walking in. "W-woah."

"I know." I said.

It was my record wall. It was a wall filled with records that I've bought and listened to. The whole wall was full and the wall went from living room to kitchen.

"How did you do this? It's amazing." He said.

"Well I spend a lot of time listening to music." I said.

He sat on the couch staring at the wall and all the records. Lynard Skynard, Motley Crue, Green Day, Def Leppard, Journey and much much more.

"I fill this out every time I finish a record." I said. "Which reminds me.." I ran to my room grabbing the Van Halen record.

"This one is done and on the wall now." I said tacking it in place. "Perfect."

I felt arms wrap around my waiste. "Jsut like you." Calum said.

I just blushed and mumbled a 'thank you.' I turned and buried my face into his chest and we stood like that for a while.

"We have a job to get to oh god." I said.

"Well lets go." Calum said walking out the door.

I walked out locking the door, and Calum instantly grabbed my hand keeping it warm. We walked into the music store and it was full. So many people looking for records and wow I've never seen it like this.

"Joe need help?" I asked.

"Yes please!" he yelled.

"Next!" I said. "Luke?"
