Before the fangs

Chapter 16

--Alex's POV--

I woke up the next morning and I couldn't help but stare at the material wrapped around my arm. My entire arm is numb. I move my finger around. I see them move but I don't feel it. I sigh and head downstairs.

"Harry?" I call out.

I get no response.

"Harry?" I repeat louder.

After a few minutes I finally notice the piece of paper taped to the door. It said,

'Went out, be back soon. Don't leave the house. -H'

I sigh as I throw away the paper. I've been awake for ten minutes and I'm already bored out my mind. Then someone knocks on the door.

"Hey Alex." Calum smiles as I open the door.

"Hey." I smile back and hug him.

I blush and pull away.

"I was walking by and saw Harry leave so I just thought I'd say hi." He blushes as well.

"You could stay. Harry will probably be awhile plus I'm bored." I shrug.

"Okay." He smiles and walks inside.

"You hungry? Thirsty?" I ask.

"Nah, I'm good." He sits up at the bar.

"Okay then." I sit next to him.

"Where's Harry going? If you don't mind me asking?" He asks.

"I wish I knew." I shrugged.

"Does he do that often? Just leave?" He raises an eyebrow.

"Yeah, pretty often." I nod.

"Oh." He seems at a loss for words.

"Oh my god I'm still in my pajamas." I look down at what I'm wearing.

"So?" He chuckles.

"So? So I look like trash." I blush from embarrassment.

"You do not. You look cute." He smiles.

"Did you just call me cute?" I ask.

"Did I?" He blushes.

"It sounded like it." I respond confused.

"I-I um I didn't mean to say that out loud." He mumbles.

I chuckle pretending this isn't extremely awkward.

"Can I try something?" He asks.

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"You have to promise you won't get mad." He says.

"Why would I get mad?" I raise an eyebrow.

"Just promise you won't." He says.

"Okay fine. Now tell me why-" I try but he cuts me off.

He grabs me by the the chin and presses his lips to mine. I'm shocked but kiss back. We both pull away smiling.

"Why would that make me mad?" I laugh.

"I'm not sure." He laughs.

I shake my head but kiss him again. This time I'm in control but Calum doesn't seem to mind. The house phone rings and ruins the moment.

"Sorry." I pull away to answer the phone.

It's Harry. Of course.

"Hello?" I answer.

"Did you see my note?" He asks.

"Yeah. Where are you?" I ask.

"Doesn't matter I'll be home soon though." He says.

"Okay." I simply respond.

"Okay." He repeats and hangs up.

"Strange Harry." I mumble.

"Everything okay?" Calum asks.

"Yeah, But you're gonna have to leave. Harry's coming back." I sigh.

"Oh okay." He nods.

"Thanks for entertaining me though." I laugh opening the door.

"No problem." He chuckles and leaves.

I find myself fall backwards on to the couch with the biggest smile I've ever smiled since I got here.
