Chapter 10

I took Calum on a classic date. Fancy dinner, walk in the park, the whole deal.

"Thank you." Calum said out of the blue.

"For what?"

"For going on a date with me. You didn't have to, yet you did. I'm really enjoying tonight."

I smiled at him. "My goal tonight, it to do anything that pleases you."

Calum gave me a smirk. "Anything that pleases me?"

I gaped at him. "Creep."

He laughed, and it was a very loud and bubbly. I liked it.

The entire time I couldn't stop thinking about Niall and Harry. They were alone for crying out loud. Harry doesn't spend time with people especially ones he didn't know.

"Ashton?" Calum snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Sorry, what?"

"Are you alright? You've been very spacey lately."

"Yeah, I'm great. Sorry, just been a long day."

Calum nodded. I really need to focus, this date has to go well.

The date has to go well. The date has to go well. The date has to go well. Harry... No! The date. It has to be perfect. Perfect for Calum. Maybe I should call Niall. Ashton focus! You're on a date with Calum. It has to go well. It must go well. Calum deserves to be happy.

"Ashton!" Calum yelled for the second time, again interrupting my thoughts.

"We should go back." Calum sighed.

I didn't know what to say, so I didn't say anything. I didn't want the date to end but I had to go back to that house. What if Niall takes Harry away from me? No, Niall wouldn't do that. Right? He likes Louis.

Suddenly, a new thought occurred.

Do I have any straight friends?

There was Louis, but Niall proved that wrong. Harry is the one I'm going for, I'm literally on a date with Calum. Luke? Come to think of it he hasn't dated in awhile.

"We're here." Calum said, a sad tone was obvious but my mind was too full to care. I practically sprinted into that house and slammed open the door.

"Niall?" I called out.

He came around the corner with Harry in tow, both looking out of breath and giant smiles on their faces.

I froze as I stared at the two.

"Ash, you gotta hear this joke Harry just told me."

I don't know if I've ever felt more relieved in my life, that was until I saw Harry's face. He was looking down and smiling with pink cheeks.

"Go on." Niall nudged him and it was completely obvious Harry felt comfortable next to the blonde. How did he manage to get so close to this boy so quickly?

"It's not that funny." Harry mumbled.

"Let's here it." Calum said from next to me, I didn't even notice he was there.

"A man was walking down the beach and he saw a girl with no arms and no legs crying, so he asked the girl why she was crying. She responded with 'I have never been hugged before.' So the man replied with 'I will hug you' and hugs her and walks away. The next day the same man was walking down the beach again and sees the crying girl. He asks what's wrong and she responded with 'I have never been kissed before.' So the man replied with 'I will kiss you.' And he gave her a kiss on the cheek. Yet again, the man is walking down the beach and the girl is crying again. He asked what was wrong today, and she responded with 'I have never been fucked before.' So he says okay and picks her up and throws her into the ocean. 'Now you're fucked.'"

Niall was laughing so hard he was leaning on a wall. Calum let out a small laugh and I smiled widely and laughed along. It was kind of hot the way he swore in front of everyone. He would sound better saying the hot and sweaty underneath me.

I stopped myself before I had a not so little situation downstairs.

"That's a good one." Niall said hitting Harry's back.

"Niall we have to go." I squeaked out.

"I think we should hang out here for, you know what, yeah I really got to go home. Bye Harry, bye Calum." Niall said, changing the course of the sentence when he made eye contact with me.

"Bye Calum, I had fun." I gave him a kiss on the cheek and Niall and I left the house. I tossed him my keys and got in the passenger seat. I stared out the window for awhile.

"How was your date?" Niall asked.

I thought about it for a minute, I honestly don't remember it well.

"It went well."

"Are you going to take him on another date?"

I sighed. "I don't know, maybe?"

"Well did you like it?"

"I don't know."

"How do you not know?" Niall continued to pry.

I snapped. "God dammit Niall, I just don't know."

He was silent. "Sorry."

I groaned. I made two people upset in less than an hour. Way to go Ashton, you deserve an award. I didn't make Harry upset though. I think. I got lost in thought, just like a majority of the day. In the end, I came to one conclusion.

Calum liked me.
I like Harry.
Harry likes Niall. Or so I think.
Niall likes Louis.
And Luke is the only potential straight left.
