10$ for 10 days∵cake

● day 3

Calum

My eyes were tired, if I could say that. This boring lesson really made me want to drift into a peaceful place, that so called sleep, which I always longed about since the first day I had allowed myself to enter this class. When I was about to close my both eyes and forget about the world for a little while, I suddenly felt my phone buzzed against my hand, causing the previous weakness suddenly eliminated from my body.

I checked my phone, saying I got some messages from Luke. He sure is getting used with me already. It made me happy in some reason.

Smiling, I unlocked my phone and checked the messages.

"Excuse me, mam?" I raised my hand up to the teacher. She turned her head to look at me, vaguely furrowing her eyebrows as a clear expression of curiosity written across her face.

"Yes, Calum?" she asked unequivocally, shifting her red blood colored glasses up to the bridge of her nose. From under her natty blonde hair, peeked a pair of thick eyelashes that lifted upwards firmly as the stern looks of her eyes were still glaring at me.

I gulped my jaw tightly, feeling bridled  because of her thick- and bold accent, mixed along with a stern voice she had given to me. It was kinda frightening, if i could say.

"Erhm, can I go to the restroom?" I finally asked, involuntarily biting my bottom lip.

She examined my gestures for a moment, studying all over me as if I was a math quiz that needed to be solved of,  before she eventually let out a hefty sigh, answering a quick, "Okay," as her eyes still glaring at me. She looked like an angry cat and I was a scared mouse in front of her.

No one wouldn't dare to interrupt her in the middle of her class, so I think that's why I could feel so many sympathetic gazes were directed to me.

Releasing a relieved sigh, I excused myself from my seat, ungainly walking towards the door and leave the classroom without wasting any second. After I huffed in relief for a second time,  I immediately made my way to the library to meet Luke; a beautiful creature that caused me, Calum Hood, to feel an uncertain nice feelings from the pit of his stomach.

It's weird really. I just spent my time with him for 3 days yet he already won some of slices of my heart already.

And yes, I wasn't lying when I said I will make him to fall in love with me in 10 days. Because I think, it's my real intention for now.

I approached the library, revealing Luke who was sitting with a book on his hands. Smiling, I quickly sat beside him and pecked his cheeks lightly. Luke shot me a dimpled smile with his exuberant blue eyes, looking at me softly, eliciting me to give him a sincere, genuine smile.

"You have a beautiful smile," I said randomly with an enthralled look I gave for him.

He chuckled awkwardly, and the sounds of it was an epitome that he was somehow, flustered by my words before he decided to give me an eye roll which happened to be an amused one. I grinned.

"Well, i'm not gonna fall for that cheap platitude words," he responded ostensibly, shrugging slightly even though the crimson color hadn't left his face.

I snickered at his behavior. "Oh, i'm serious, I could swim inside your beautiful blue eyes, really."

"Just stop right there, Hood," he threatened, finally glaring at me.

"You love it, don't you? Just admit it," I playfully said as a smug smile tugged on my lips, wiggling my eyebrows to give more effects. He only scoffed at me, giving me another eye roll that I had seen for the hundredth time. Although I could see through him that he was embarrassed, he still decided to cover it by giving me an unnecessary movements.

"I'm not gonna lie, though," Luke finally answered as he shrugged his shoulders, smiling a little bit.

"You're so cute," I retorted, swiftly wrapping my arms around his board shoulders and pulling him to give him a slight kiss.

It wasn't enough, I think. So, I grabbed his wrist and telepathically told him to get up. Luke looked at me in confusion, mouthing a 'what?' to me.

"Let's read books, yeah?" I suggested, smirking slyly with a flirtatious tone in my voice.

Luke seemed that he had caught my drift by responding me with a nod and a mischievous curve of smile across his lips. I dragged him randomly to any library's bookshelf and softly pushed him against the surface of it, quickly wrapping my arm around his waist.

As I moved closer, I could feel his fingers slowly smoothed against my skin, the pads of his thumb were tracing the line of my cheekbone gently, almost unnerving.

I locked my eyes with him for a second before I leaned myself toward him, pressing our lips together. At first, we only moved in cautious, and easy slow pace that we obviously enjoyed without any rush or rough movement. But, seconds passed, our movements became rougher than before, and the hot air that left from his mouth as we kissed, warmed my nose even more.

It was rough, yet with the way his fingers were brushing against my skin, and his grip on the back of my neck made the kiss more gentle, and sweet. The heat of his palms was spreading across my face, and the heartbeat that vigorously beating against my chest emanating a slow moan from my lips which Luke followed after, making both of us gasped for an air after that.

"Shit, you're so good at this," Luke commented, wiping his mouth quickly after we broke the kiss off.

I chuckled, crinkles forming on the corner of my eyes. "Well, it's me," I responded, shrugging casually.

"Did you always do this with your ten days lovers?" he asked, concern written across his face.

"No, it's always dates and stuff, kisses are when i wanted to."

"What about sex?" Luke questioned bluntly, making me cough immediately.

My eyebrows climbed up, smiling in amusement when i realized that he was serious. "I get paid not because I want sex, I just want to find love, a real love," I stated, pointing at him.

"So, I'm kinda... different?"

"What do you think?" I grinned, raising my eyebrows playfully. "It doesn't really matter anyways, you have a crush and I don't really know if you're the right one," i explained, shrugging my shoulders.

"Well, yeah. It's just a game after all," he said as he shook his head in disbelief.

Silence was taking over our whole conversations. The heavy air began to roll over around us. But, before i let the silence win, I decided to break off the awkwardness.

"Talking about dates before, I'll take you on one tomorrow," I said as a smile made it way upon my lips.

"Regular thing, huh? Sure," he agreed, grinning. "Wait, it's your treat right?"

"What? You haven't heard about this? You pay for yourself of course. Why would I get paid for ten dollars if it's going to go back to you."

"You treat girls like this too?"

"They agreed, Luke," I defended, crossing my arms onto my chest.

"Fine, Hood. Let's have a date tomorrow."
