"what the hell do you think im doing?" i retorted.

calum rolled his eyes and scoffed at me.

"dont you dare do that..."

"do what?" he sneered.

"that!" i gestured towards him. "dont just think you can come in here an be a total asshole to me."

"i wouldnt have to be an asshole if you didnt take one of my best friends out on a date!" he folded his arms over his chest.

"i wouldnt have to take your best friend out on a date if you didnt try to kiss me and then start dating someone else the day after!" my voice raised in volume with every word.

"well i wouldnt have to ask her out if you would have just kissed me back like you were supposed to!" i was sure that people in the restaurant could hear us screaming at eachother.

"like i was supposed to?" i laughed. i laughed right in his face.

"oh my god you dont understand do you?" he asked, his voice low.

"dont understand what? that im just some "stupid girl thats supposed to kiss you whenever you feel like it" because if thats what you think of me as..."

"GOD HARLIN IM IN LOVE WITH YOU." he screamed at me and then brought his hands up to his face and turned away from me.

my breath hitched in my throat "w-what?" my mind was whirling. i couldnt properly comprehend what calum had just said. "you w-what?"

"im in love with you, okay?" he said turning around, removing his hands from his face. "im in love with you and i have been ever since i hugged you in that starbucks and then when we cuddled watching that movie and when you were sick god you looked so cute with your sniffles." he smiled, pushing a piece of hair away from my face. "seeing you with ashton hurt. having you pull away from a kiss hurt. not having you hurts."

"calum..." my mouth dropped open and butterflies fluttered around in my stomach.

"i-im sorry." he rubbed his eyes. "you can go back to your date."

i laughed. "cal you think i like ashton?" he looked at me with a look that signaled he really did think that. i bit my lip to suppress my laughter.

"i dont like ashton." i reassured him.

"then why did you go out with him?" he looked hurt.

"it was part of emmas plan to make you jealous and its just a long story that we dont need to get into at the moment."

"oh my god are you serious? you wanted to make me jealous of you and ashton?"

"well emma did." i blushed and looked down at my feet.

"ashton, my best friend?"

"um yeah."

"but you dont like him?" he looked hopeful.

"i dont. i promise." i smiled at him.

"you dont?"

"i dont. i like someone else."

"great now i have to compete with this guy too!" he rolled his eyes.

"yeah. this new guy is really attractive you know. he has the cutest brown hair and oh my god its curly!" i sat down on the counter next to the bathroom sink. "he also plays two instruments, guitar and bass and he has a few tattoos which make his look very punk rock."

by this time calum was catching on and i could see a hint of a smile on his lips. "mhm i see." he said. "what else do you like about this boy?"

i laughed and reached out, grabbing calums collar and pulling him into me. "well i have to see one thing before i tell you." and i crashed our lips together.

calum instantly wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed me back.

i pulled away. "i like the way he kisses me too." i whispered.

"you're so adorable." he said pecking my lips again.

"you know that was my first kiss right?" i bit my lip.

"no way!" his mouth opened in shock.

"it was it was." i blushed and ran my hand over the back o my neck. "right here in a restaurant bathroom."

"well rate it on a scale of one to ten." cal wiggled his eyebrows.

"three."

"oh shut up." he smiled and pressed his lips onto mine again.
