Going big

Chpt8: Awkward

Sarah looked over at Taylor who was starring back.

"He's late..." Sarah said feeling a little disappointed that he would be late to their  first date. She walked over to and sat next to Taylor who finally looked up from her phone.

"Maybe he's nervous... you guys only met a couple days ago" She said blankly not comforting Sarah at all.

Calum's POV

He hopped out of the shower fixing his hair to the perfect fringe. He exited the bathroom to his band mates scattered among the small hotel room. Calum walked over to his phone stumbling over lukes backpack he had thrown on the ground after returning from being out with his mum. It was nearly time to go get Sarah for their little date.

Calum walked over to his backpack stepping over Michael who was sprawled out on the floor.

"You seem nervous mate" Michael spoke, breaking the silence that hung in the room. Calum looked at the ground trying not to make eye contact at Michael because to be honest he was scared shitless.

"Just dont wanna mess it up thats all" he mumbled searching for his favourite flannel. He dug around before giving up and going with his black Santa Cruz shirt. He threw on black skinny jeans and was about to head out when his phone went off. 

"Who's Sarah?" Luke asked waving Calum's phone in the air, showing he recieved a text from her.

"What does it say?" Calum asked, his stomach doing flips at what she could of said.

"Are you coming or not..." Luke read before looking at Calum " Dude you're late" He said again. Calum froze noticing that he was already 10 minutes late.

"Fuck" He said before snatching his phone out of Lukes hand and running out the door and towards Sarah's hotel room. He dug his phone into his pocket before taking a deep breath and knocking on the door.

The loud music from the room suddenly stopped and Calum heard shuffling before the door opened revealing Sarah in her cute little romper and converse.

"Im so- Im sorry, I was just really nervous and I couldnt find the shirt I planned on wearing plus-" Calum rambled off.

"It's fine" Sarah said before meeting Calum's eyes than quickly looking down at the ground.

As they exited the small hotel they were greeted with a small group of girls, obviously fans of his band. They were all quit loud and yelling at Calum to take a picture with them, some even asked what Sarah was doing with him. Calum grabbed Sarah's hand and pushed through the small crowd tugging Sarah behind as they round a building before stopping.

"Sorry, sometimes they can be a little crazy" He said still holding her hand. He liked how her hand fit perfectly in his, hopefully she didnt notice how sweaty his hands were. It happens only when he is nervous or has adrenaline running through him.

"They seem like quite the fans eh" Sarah said smirking at Calum before letting a little giggle escape her lips. That giggle of hers will be the death of Calum.

Sarah was prefect, she has long brown hair, beautiful brown eyes that sparkled whenever she laughed and had the cutest nose ever. She was Calum's ideal dream girl, though Calum has never really dated a girl. Unless a 6th grade relationship where they hung out during recess counted, but Calum didnt think so.

"So where are we going to go" Sarah asked, breaking Calum's train of thought. He looked around, noticing they were in the entrance of an alley.

"Theres a cute little cafe down the street" Calum smiled, knowing she would approve of the date location. Sarah smiled at Calum, she liked how he was so care free.
