six.

I pushed the door open to my house, racing up to my room to avoid Calum. My head was spinning from the large amount of the thoughts running through my head. I opened the door connected to my room to find Calum laying on my bed. He was shirtless with gray sweatpants hanging lowly, showing his black boxer briefs. His phone was held in front of his face, the light illuminating his tan skin.

"What're you doing in here?" I asked wide-eyed. I wanted to retreat back to some place alone to figure out all the thoughts clouding my head. My heart was racing and seeing Calum wasn't helping my situation.

"I was waiting for you." He chirped, his smile stretching across his whole face. He locked his phone, throwing it down beside him and sitting up on the bed. "How'd detention go?"

"I — I don't wanna talk about it." I said all too quickly, walking to my closet and pulling out an oversized t-shirt (which had my school initials engraved in it), a pair of panties, and light gray shorts. I threw my phone down on my dresser in the process. Calum jumped up quickly, taking large steps over to me.

"Was it Luke? Did he do something?" Calum asked angrily, his hands clenching into fists. His eyes flared with anger and I honestly felt a little frightened. "Cause if he did anything, I swear to–" he began to mutter, but I grabbed his hands.

His words stopped falling from his mouth and his body seemed to freeze. Slowly, finger by finger, I
untangled his fist. I could see his anger fizzling away with each finger unraveling.

"I'm fine Cal." I smiled reassuringly at him. He slowly huffed, closing his eyes.

"I just care about you, Nicki." He said in a soft voice, reopening his eyes to lock with mine. His arms wrapped around my waist, pulling me flush against him. My heart pace quickened. He leaned forward and placed a small kiss on the side of my cheek. I was actually relieved he didn't try to kiss me.

"Calum? How–" I began, but cut myself off. "Never mind." I chuckled and looked away from his gaze. My tongue slipped over my dry, cracked lips out of boredom.

"You make it hard for me." I heard Calum's deep, raspy voice whisper.

"What do you mean?" I asked puzzled. He pulled my lower back even closer to him, making me gasp. He had a smirk on his face, that which I knew pretty well. "Whoa slow down Cal Pal! Don't wanna have Cal Jr. come out, now do we?" I laughed and pulled out of his grip, still holding onto the clothes in my hand.

"I might a little." Calum spoke in a dirty tone, wiggling his eyebrows rather suggestively.

"Well horny Calum's back. Long time no see." I waved, laughing at myself. "I'm gonna go take a shower while you," I looked down seeing the tint in his sweats, "take care of that." I looked quickly away.

"Maybe I can take a shower with you? You know, to save water." Calum spoke with a smug look. He didn't even seem embarrassed about his.... manhood thingy.

"Um I don't think so. Nice try though!" I walked into the bathroom placing down my stuff. "But could you please not make a mess in my room? That's really nasty!"

"No promises babe." Calum winked.

"You're disgusting." I laughed.

"Oh but you love it." Calum responded quickly before I closed the door and locked it. Teenage boys.

I stepped out of the shower, a towel wrapped tightly around me. I was hoping to clear my mind, but had no such luck. Luke's surprise kiss from earlier left me still astounded and puzzled. Was it just the spur of the moment, accidental kind of thing? Maybe it's one those moments where both people try to forget that it ever happened! I know that's what I want to do.

I ran my hand through my soaked hair and pushed it off my face. I stared at my reflection in the mirror, hating my image at the moment. I felt slutty for kissing two guys. I knew it wasn't as bad as I was making it out to be, but I have absolutely no experience with guys so it seemed horrible to me. I could hear my phone go off in the other room.

I hugged my towel tighter around my chest throwing open the bathroom door to yell at Calum to put the phone down. Though it seemed to be too late. Calum had my phone at his ear.

"Nicki's a little busy at the moment, how may I assist you?" Calum spoke in a deep voice, his eyes finding me. "Holy shit."

Unconsciously I wrapped the towel around me tighter, hoping to conceal myself more. My cheeks felt like they were on fire and I was dying of embarrassment.

"What no we're not-"

I quickly grabbed the phone from Calum and pushed it to my ear.

"Sorry Sammie," I rushed.

"Were you guys fucking?!" Her voice screamed and I cringed at the loudness.

"What? No! I just got out of the shower and he happened to answer my phone."

"Shower?!"

"Oh my gosh he wasn't in there with me Sam!" I felt my cheeks redden. Calum seemed amused with the situation and bit down on his lip to contain his laughter.

"Oh but I wish I was." Calum muttered with a cheeky smile.

"And why haven't I heard about this guy?"

"I'll tell you about it later, I gotta go." I spoke hastily and hung up without a response. I didn't bother to look back at Calum, I just walked past him and back into the bathroom. I locked the door and quickly changed into my clothes before walking back out into my room.

"Didn't expect you to come out like that." Calum smirked.

"Ha-ha very funny." I sarcastically responded. I flopped down on my bed and closed my eyes, exhaustion taking over me. Although my body seemed to be tired, my brain was actively thinking thousands of thoughts.

"Cal?" I whispered quietly, not daring to open my eyes.

"What is it babe?" Calum's voice spoke out, weight shifting onto my bed to the left of me.

"What do I mean to you?" I breathed out, slowly opening my eyes. "I've just been wondering ever since we kissed 'cause it feels like-"

Calum pressed his lips against mine in a quick gesture. His plump, soft lips lingered against mine before pulling away.

"Does that answer your question?"

"So what does that make us?" My eyes locked with his.

"Nicole, I was hoping to take you on a date before asking you to be my girlfriend." Calum smiled, pressing his forehead against mine. "So how about tomorrow night?"

"I'd have to check my schedule." I teased. "My favorite show might be on."

"Oh please, you can watch Damon Salvatore another time." Calum wrapped his arms around me.

"I was actual talking about Stiles Stilinski, but whatever floats your boat."

"Shut the fuck up Nicki." Calum began to attack me with tickles, making me wiggle uncontrollably. His body moved down mine, beginning to blow raspberries into my stomach.

"Calum stop!" I managed to scream through my giggles, tugging his hair up to move away. He laughed, crawling up and laying next to me.

"Oh baby, I bet you loved pulling my hair." He dirtily spoke. I rolled my eyes, my smile never leaving.

"Shut up Cal." I smacked his chest.

"You're not disagreeing."

"I never agreed!" I defended.

"Just turn around so I can spoon you."

His words fell so casually from his mouth, making me blush. I quickly turned away from him. His arm draped over me, his neck snuggling into mine.

"Have good dreams baby."
