I never should of let Violet changed Lenia in my top. Majority of my clothes were dirty and Luke's were in the washer tumbling. I kept looking in my closet thinking that some more shirts were going to magically appear. After doing it more five times, my annoyance began to rise. Walking over to my door, I decided to give in and ask Luke for one of his.
"LU-" was all I was able to get out when a ball of fabric hit my face. Quickly taking it off I saw the blonde with a smirk on his face.
"What the fuck was that for?" I asked annoyed as I threw the shirt on. It was black, like everything else in the house.
"I had the feeling you gave in and needed a shirt. You have so many different colored tops in your closet, yet the only thing you wear is black Cal," he explained as he took his phone out and started tapping.
"Colored clothes are more of a hassle to wa-"
"If you're going to say wash, we both know you don't do that. The only way it gets washed is when I don't give you clothes to spare anymore," he simply replied without looking at me.
"You know what Hemmdick, I should shove your clothes up your a-"
"Calum?" a soft voice interrupted. Looking past Luke as he looked over his shoulder, Lenia stood there. She was still covered in band aids, her dark brown hair parted to the left of her face, blush tainted cheeks, but a different color shirt covered her small tan body. Her body language gave off a sense of nervousness while she played with the hem of the shirt. Which I didn't understand since Luke and I haven't talked to her much this morning.
"I-I was wondering if you have any tea," she asked while her eyes focused on the ground. Her taciturn behavior made me wonder where the feisty behavior a few days ago went. "We have Jasmine Tea in the first cabinet on the right in the kitchen," Luke replied with a warm smile,"I can he-"
"I got it," and with that I walked passed both of them to the kitchen. That smile Luke put on was one of his specialities. It was the "I can help you whilst trying to find some way to have you blush and maybe go out." Usually it wouldn't bother me, but hell I already planned to mess with Lenia! He should go find the airheads on the streets that just melt in his hand.
Mumbling my way to the kitchen I opened the cabinet to get the tea. Turning around to speed out, I ended up knocking Lenia down, but this time she hit the cabinet.. Fuck. Quickly scooping her up onto the counter before she opened her eyes, I gently placed her down. There was already a faint bruise forming on her left arm.
"Fuck Lenia! You need to be more careful damn it," I exclaimed as I checked to make sure there weren't anymore bruises," You always end up running into me." Looking down at her, she was tense and frightened. Gently bringing my right hand up to her shoulder, she flinched away. Her view continued to face the ground beside us. Ever since Lenia woke up here, she refrained from looking at me for more than 5 seconds (ha). But she could look at Luke, and smile at him... Fucker.
Taking a deep sigh I looked over to the window in the kitchen where rain splattered. "I didn't mean to yell at you alright? I'm just-well I'm not use to being gentle towards people," I explain uncomfortably. Which to be honest was the truth, I didn't know how to be caring anymore. I'm barely nice to Luke as it is. I had no clue why I felt little tense, it was just Lenia. Some random girl who works at a stupid Tea Shop. But, I really didn't mean to run into her. I didn't even see her.. As she would usually tell me.
Using my peripheral view, I looked over at the shirt that adorned her body. It was a dark blue shirt with grey specks. Little memories began to flash in my head just from recognizing the piece of cloth.
"It's okay Calum, do you wa-"
"Is that my shirt?" The natural blush in Lenia's cheeks got a little darker by my question. I had caught her off guard, but She looked up at me, trying to hold a gaze. It was cute to see her try and keep it up. A slight nod of her head made me smile a little... Fuck.
"It's nice," I simply replied as I played with the hem of the shirt. "I think it's-"
"LENIA DID YOU FIND THE TEA?!" Groaning in my head I quickly pushed away from the counter to the stove. Luke walked in with a Q-tip in his ear whilst he hummed a song while I was cursing him out in my head. "I got it, the shortcake fell into the cabinets. Get her some ice? She's clumsy as hell."
"Awh Len! Are you alright?!" She nodded to Luke with a smile as she swung her feet cutely.. No wait, I don't find shit cute. Walking by, Luke sent a quick message.
I heard what happened. Is mean Calum turning a little soft?
Shut the fuck up Hemmdick.
I could already see his smirk without looking at him.
