Run // Calum Hood - On hold

Cal-Pal to the rescue

It's currently 1 am, I'll read it through for mistakes in the morning but for now I really wanted to update. So Mistakes are very possible and likely.

Luckily Luke didn't pick anything too fancy, when we arrived at a cozy diner the warmth had welcomed us and I immediately fell in love with the little place. It was decorated with fairy lights and candles.

We took a table in the back corner of the restaurant, when Luke took his jacket of I could see what he was wearing. He wore his black skinny jeans as usual with a white t-shirt and his hair styled perfectly.

A woman called 'Angie' took our order and told us it would be ready in about five minutes. She smiled sweetly and took off to disappear in the kitchen.

Our hands rested on the table, his big one over my smaller one. His fingers absently tracing abstract patterns on my skin, making it ignite as he went. Giving me a small squeeze before speaking up.

'I'm very glad you came, Rose. I wouldn't want to spend this evening with anyone other than you.' he sighed while lifting our hands up and pressing a small kiss on mine.

The kiss felt different, it was missing something. I looked up at his face again for the god knows how many time. Noticing something was gone.

'Luke, where is your lipring?' I asked studying his lips, bringing my hand to his face. Slowly tracing the spot where the familiar black ring used to rest on his soft lips. Luke chuckled in response.

'I took it out, I didn't find it appropriate attire for our first date. I wanted to show you I'm not just a frat boy who doesn't care about anything. Do you like it better like this? he said trying to read my face.

'No, I mean yes I like it either way. But it's just not..', I stopped to think before I said anything else, 'you. It's not the Luke I know. I do like it for tonight, but promise me you'll put it back in tomorrow. You don't need to prove anything, I like you the way you are.' ending the sentence in a whisper.

'I promise.' Luke smiled, giving my hand another kiss. 'And I like you too. Very much.' Causing my heart to flutter and giving me a warm feeling inside.

As on cue Angie came out of no where smiling at us. Placing our plates in front of us, whispering something along the lines of 'Oh young puppy love, so sweet.' before walking away again, not giving us the chance to thank her.

Dinner went by quite fast, we talked about some simple things. He had asked me the random questions, about what my favourite colour was, what flowers I liked, the best song of all time, my hobbies and a few questions about my family.

I answered all of them honestly and asked them back. When the subject became about Calum, I tried to dodge the questions.

When he asked what happened I told him about how I met Ashton and that Mr Alderman thought that I would be able to talk some sense into Calum. I didn't tell him how Calum was asking for me or the things Calum and I spoke about.

I told him I could barely make sense out of Calum's words but that he was being kind towards me and he offered me his jacket. When I told him that he started smiling like an idiot, biting his lip.

'What? Why are you laughing?' I asked cautiously, not sure why he was smiling after I told him his best friend was absolutely hammered disturbing random students passing by.

'I'm just happy that on the end of the night it's my name you're wearing on your back and not his.' he shrugged. Taking the last bite of his pasta, before getting up to pay the bill. Thanking Angie for the great food and service.
