Calum and I were up in his room for most of the time (if not all) watching Netflix movies and eating pizza all night. Eventually, we were watching Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I found it terrifying, and Cal must have noticed that because he put his arm around me and pulled me closer.
When the movie ended, I checked my phone. "2 o'clock!?"
I tried to get up but I felt Calum's hand grasp my wrist, pulling me back down.
"Cmon, you can't leave yet!! Just tell her you're staying the night," he said.
I sighed, he wants me to stay the night after a few days of knowing him?
I looked over at him, and he gave me those puppy eyes and stuck his lip out.
How can I say no to that?
I nodded, laying back down next to him. I called my mother and asked her, and she said that I could. Cal smiled when I told him, and we put on Pet Sematary. It wasn't nearly as scary as the first movie, but I sneakily pretended to be afraid so he would hold me closer.
"Hey Cal?"
"Mhmm?"
"Can I maybe... borrow some clothes?"
Calum smiled, getting up and rummaging through his closet. He gave me a Blink 182 t-shirt and a pair of black sweatpants. I stood up to put them on, noticing him staring at me from his bed.
"Calum, would you turn around?"
"Not with that attitude, missy!" He laughed to himself, "What's the magic word?"
I sighed and rolled my eyes, "Please?"
He nodded and turned away, allowing me to put on the clothes then get back beside him. Around halfway through the movie, it was 3am and I was slowly falling asleep in his arms.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My eyes fluttered open and the first thing I felt was Calum's arms wrapped tightly around me. I slept better than I had in a long time last night, especially with Cal so close to me the whole time. We weren't dating, though; so it meant that he could be doing this just to get me in his bed again (and not just for 'pizza and netflix'). I grasped his arms and tried to push them off of me but they didn't budge. I turned to see Cal's gorgeous brown eyes staring intently at me with a smirk on his lips. "How'd you sleep?" he asked, his voice unclear and raspy.
I smiled as I ran my hand through my hair, "I slept really well, actually. What about you?"
"I slept better than usual, with you around" he winked.
"Shut up, hood" I laughed and pushed his bicep.
He let me get up and I checked my phone.
Four new messages from Mom.
Six new messages from Jordyn.
And to top it all off, it was 1pm.
"Shit," I mumbled under my breath, reading the messages.

"What's wrong?" Calum asked, judging by the look on my face.
"Just my mom and my annoying best friend," I answered, picking up my bag.
"Well if you wanna chill here for awhile my mom should be out..." he suggested.
"I need to meet my friend at the mall in 30 minutes, you can come if you want?"
He smiled excitedly, "Guess we're going to hurry then!"
