He has a crush on you. ~Part 1 Cake ~

Calum.
.
It confused me how sometimes this movie seemed like the greatest thing in the world, and other times, such as today, it seemed the dullest.
.
My four best friends, that had also chosen the film, seemed to be having one of the greatest thing moments.
I didn't complain. I had missed their laughter during their last tour. Almost as much as I had missed them.
.
Calum leaned across my lap to retrieve his glass of coke, right at the exact moment that some strange creature threw itself onto the large screen. Calum jolted upward in shock, the coke flooding all over my jeans and a little on my shirt.
.
Colour fled to his cheeks as he lept up immediately, determinedly searching for napkins whilst hopelessly apologising the entire time. I chuckled at his adorable expression which was filled with worry and guilt. It was only an accident, God knows he'd never intentionally hurt a fly.
.
"It's fine, Cal. Honestly. I'll just go and get a cloth." I smiled to try and ease his panic. He sighed, pressing a hand to his forehead and watching over me intently.
.
"I'm so sorry, (Y/N). I didn't-"
.
"I know, Cal." I laughed, leaving the room quickly.
.
Just as I was about to open the kitchen door, I realised that my hoodie had probably been drenched in the commotion too. Therefore, I turned back around and made my way back to the living room. My palm gripped the cool handle but before I flung it open fully, the sound of my name distracted me a little.
.
"It's so freaking obvious, man. I can't believe she hasn't caught on." Mikey chuckled, confusing me greatly.
.
Calum groaned before Ashton joined in. "It's so annoying though. Watching you make such a fool out of yourself. Seriously, Cal, if you don't tell her soon, we will."
.
Tell her what? I thought.
.
"You know I can't. It could ruin everything. I don't want to loose her." He mumbled, his voice wobbling slightly.
.
"And what if she feels the same?" Luke added.
.
"Can you guys please shut up? She's probably going to be back soon." He lowered his voice considerably.
.
"Calum has a crush, Calum has a crush!" Mikey jeered, clearly enjoying winding his friend up.
.
My throat closed as I finally caught on. Calum liked me. My best friend had feelings for me. For some reason this information made my heart pound at a whole new rate of crazy. Maybe the feelings were mutual after all.
.
The next thing I know, Michael is yelling out in extreme pain.
"Shut the hell up, Michael. I mean it, you know how much she means to me. I can't loose her." He whined and I took a deep breath before walking in. When nobody noticed my entrance I coughed awkwardly, everyone's head snapping towards me. Calums face immediately transformed tomato red as Luke, Mikey and Ash made uncomfortable sounds.
.
"We're um, just gonna leave you guys to it . . ." Luke said, shooting Calum a wink.

.
Michael.
.
I shuffled uncomfortably in my position. My legs were constantly changing the way they lay across Luke's soft carpet.
.
What should have been just a casual game of truth or dare between friends had turned into the most awkward thing. The other week, Luke had found out my secret crush on Michael that I'd managed to keep secret for so long, and as a result, Ashton and Calum also knew.
.
It was inevitable that they were going to do everything in their power to make me tell him, or for him to know in some way. This was their perfect opportunity and they knew it.
.
Luke kept shooting me this irritating smirk as we edged our way around the circle. My cheeks flushed a little lighter each time.
.
"(Y/N), Truth or dare?" Ashton grinned evilly.
.
"I- um . . . Truth I guess." I mumbled, knowing the consequence would be far worse if I chose dare.
.
The ball of curls grinned at me mischievously, Luke and Calum giggling like school children either side of him.
"Do you like anybody at the moment?" He asked, his Hazel eyes twinkling.
.
I glared at him, shaking my head firmly. "Nope." I said slowly. My teeth clenched.
.
I looked up nervously at the other people in the room, those of whom I hardly knew, and would never talk to outside of any of my best friends' presence. I then allowed myself a sneaky glance at Mikey, he seemed completely uninterested in whether I had feelings for anyone or not. I hadn't expected him to anyway, but the reality still hurt.
.
Ashton nodded doubtfully. Soon however loosing interest and moving onto plan B.
.
"Michael." Luke began. "Truth or dare."
.
I watched as Mikey shifted a little. It seemed that the boys had something against him too.
.
"Um." He cleared his throat, rubbing his upper arms a little as if it were freezing. "Dare I guess." He offered, opting for the opposite decision to me. Rookie mistake.
.
Luke grinned widely at his best friend.
"I dare you to kiss the person here that you're crushing annoyingly hard on." He decided, making Michaels cheeks burn ridiculously red.
.
"How do you know that I like someone in here?" He asked, attempting to cover for his beyond embarrassed expression.
.
Luke and Ashton laughed loudly, Calum raising his bushy eyebrows at the poor boy next to me.
"Oh I don't know. Maybe because you've told us a million times over and she's all you talk about?" Luke suggested.
.
My stomach churned as I grew panicked. I wasn't sure I could handle watching him kiss somebody else. I couldn't handle knowing that he liked someone else either. Oh god. Why were the boys doing this to me?
.
Michael groaned and stood up, glaring at his friends.
"If you don't do it we'll tell everyone anyway as well as telling them about what we saw-"
.
"Okay! Okay. I get it." He sighed, pressing his hand to his forehead and groaning. "But if she hates me after this, I'm finding other friends."
.
Before the boys could press him any further, he glanced over in my direction and my heart began to thrash ridiculously hard inside of me. He then looked back at his feet and to a small blonde who I was never sure of her actual name. I closed my eyes subtly, I couldn't watch this. I just couldn't.
.
Moments later, I jumped as I felt a warm hand cup my cheek carefully. I opened my eyes in shock to see Michael giving me an apologetic look. My whole world stopped as he leant in and pressed my lips to his, kissing me with everything he had. He was clearly surprised when I kissed him back, but soon got over it, moving his hands expertly around my back.
.
Michael liked me. He really liked me back! The sound of wolf whistles made us pull away as we both laughed at our three friends waggling eyebrows.
He gave me a nervous smile and I returned it happily.
.
"She likes you too, man!" Luke yelled enthusiastically. "We've been going crazy over here knowing both sides." He grinned and Michael stared at me in shock.
.
"What?" I asked, laughing a little.
.
"Is he telling the truth? Do you really like me too?" He blushed as I nodded rapidly. Of course I had feelings for him. How could I not?
.
I watched as his grin widened before he looked at the ground, and then back into my eyes.
"Well than, would you like to come on a date with me sometime?"
.
"I'd love to, Mikey." I promised, smiling like a lunatic.
