Falling For You

Part 22. Exposed

Rosie's P.O.V

"Here drink some tea." Sara smiled as she handed me a warm cup of English Breakfast Tea.

"Thanks." I whispered and took a small sip.

"So, do you want to talk about it?"

"I don't really know, I need to talk to Calum before I talk to anyone else about it." I mumbled under my breath.

Last night was a disaster. I never realized that I could lose something so precious to Calum. He was my first and my first was a drunken fling and that upsets me even more. I always wanted my first to be special. My first kiss was kind of special with Alex, he kissed me at prom when he asked me to slow dance but losing something so precious whilst being drunk sucks. I never told Sara or Calum in fact how I truly feel because that'll just upset them.

When I woke up today and found my skin exposed, I felt ashamed. When I realized it was with Calum I felt like I had betrayed Luke, but in reality, Luke wouldn't even care. I mean, he doesn't like me, were just best friends and that's all we are ever going to be. Recently I've developed a tiny crush on Luke and I am unsure of where this small crush is taking me but right now, all I could focus on was what happened last night and how it happened. I remember him kissing me but that's all. I don't remember anything else.

"Sara, I need to go talk to Calum about- well you know." I muttered whilst avoiding any eye contact with Sara.

"Sure." she replied and with that, I got up from the couch and headed out of the flat to find Calum sitting on the stairs in front of the apartment door entrance.

"Hey." Calum whispered as I sat next to him on the stairs.

"Hey." I replied.

"So... about last night." he stuttered and focused his hazel eyes on mine.

"Yeah... did we actually do what I thought or is there a slight chance this is a misunderstanding?" I sighed.

"I think we did. I mean, I remember flirting with you and then I kissed you and well one thing led to another and I carried you to the room but I don't know what happened." Calum replied silently and lowered his head in shame.

"I can't believe this." I cupped my face in the palm of my hands and I could feel tears building up in my eyes.

My heart was racing, my head was pounding and my eyes were burning. Eventually tears rushed down my eyes and crept down to the corner of my lips, allowing me to taste the bitterness of the liquid.

"Luke." Calum shot up.

I raised my head to find Luke walking up the stairs to find Calum and I sitting next to each other.

"What are you guys doing?" Luke chuckled innocently.

"Talking." I whispered.

"About?"

"Nothing, its not serious." I faked a smile reassuringly.

"Cal, Sara messaged me for the extra helping hands to clean up the house cause her parents are gonna be here soon so why are you guys chilling here rather than helping Sara?" Luke pursed his eyes at Calum.

"I don't know man." Calum got up from the stair steps and entered the apartment.

"Ok, so who do I have to punch?" Luke searched my eyes once Calum had gone to help Sara, leaving Luke and I alone.

"No one." I whispered.

"I can see those tears." Luke bit his lip, showing off his bottom lip piercing.
