CALUMS P.O.V
On my way home last night, all I could think of was Avery. Avery Mae Collins. Her name is constantly in my mind. Her face, her voice, her simple features were what stayed in my mind. When I walked in the door at nearly 9pm, all of the boys whipped there heads around and looked at me.

"Mate, you were gone for almost three hours. Where were you?" Ashton says and they all stand up and walk towards me. "I met this wonderful girl, she's absolutely beautiful." I blush and they all follow me into the kitchen. "Well? Who is she?" Michael says and I grab a lemonade from the fridge, Avery's favorite drink. Avery.. Always on my mind it seems.

"Her name is Avery Collins." I smile and take a sip of my drink. They all smirk and ask about her and where we met. I explain to them everything and then decide I should head to bed if I want to be up on time, to see Ave.

"Avery!" I yell to her and walk closer. I see her petite frame get near me and she smiles. "Calum? Why are you here?" She says and furrows her brows. "I couldn't stop thinking about you. To put this simply, I'm addicted to the thought of you, to you. And I was wondering, if you'd like to go on a date with me?" I say and sway back and forth on my heels, looking into her eyes. "I thought you'd never ask." She smiles and grabs my hand.

Luke runs into my room and shakes me, I sit up and look at him, "What? Why are you waking me up?" I say and rub my eyes. "Dude, you were yelling Avery's name and when I walked in here you were smiling and whispering her name." I look at him shocked and think back to my dream. "What time is it?" I say and sit up more.

"11:30am." He says and looks at the clock and back to me. "Why?" He stares at me as I stand up out of bed and start rushing to get dressed. I grab a t shirt and black skinny jeans, my usual attire. "I told Avery I'd be at the coffee shop at 11:45, I've gotta go." I say and fix my hair and grab my keys and phone. "We don't speak about my dream, got it?" I say to Luke and he nods and walks out of my room. I take a deep breath and walk to my car.

On the short ride there, all I can think about is what she's wearing, how her hair looks, is she wearing makeup? Does she wear makeup often? I gotta stop thinking about her so much. I'm such a loser, all I think about is her. I've never even went on a date with her, not even dating her and I'm whipped to say the least.

I pull into the parking lot and see her jeep parked, and her inside, serving a few older people. I get out of my Range Rover and fix my hair and walk towards the front door. When I open it, a small bell dings and she shoots her head up and smiles.

"Hi, Avery Collins." I smile and take a seat in my spot from yesterday. "Hello, Calum Hood." She smiles and walks back behind the counter. "I don't work late tonight, today's a short shift." She frowns. Is she excited to see me? Does she want to hangout with me? Score.

I nod and order my usual from yesterday. "Not too busy today?" I say and watch her as she makes it. "It won't get busy until after I'm off, that's just how the hours work for the day." She shrugs and hands me my tea. I thank her quietly and she smiles.

She serves a few people who don't recognize me, and then we're alone again. "So, Ave." I smirk and she laughs and smiles. "So, Cal." She mocks me and leans against the tall counter.

Now's my chance, I've gotta ask her out. Maybe not a date? Just a hangout at one of our places? I'm sure she'd love to meet the boys.

"What are you doing tomorrow?" I say and think about the day tomorrow. It's a Saturday, maybe she won't be working l. Hopefully. "Not working, why?" Her eyes light up and she smiles.

"How does a full day movie marathon with me and maybe the boys sound? My place? 11am?" I say and take a nervous breath. I've never been this nervous around a girl, this is what she does to me. "Sure! Sounds like a lot of fun." She smiles and looks at me. I nod and we continue talking on and off about random things.
