His Girl (Calum Hood)

Chapter 4

Every.single.day...everyday I expected to wake up to the day that Calum wouldn't live up to the expectation every fangirl has of their idol ...but it didn't happen. Everyday he would send the most precious texts, the goofiest snapchats, and facetime me after every concert. I was still entirely oblivious to what I did to make him even take a second glance, I'm hardly extraordinary...but he seemed to see something, I'm blind to.

( As a precaution, I created brand new personal accounts on every social media and hid my posters under my bed. Shh! )

Finishing off my last customer of the day, I glanced down and smiled when I saw his contact name on my screen.

- Favorite Kiwi ;)

Mother Nature despises Brussels!! >:(

Giggling, I sat down in my parlor chair.

-London

Are Kiwi's not built for the cold? :(

"London!" Marci finished her Seafoam dye job and jogged over, "Is that ... 'You know who'?" Rolling my eyes, I nodded. "So,"...she sat down beside me, "Are you guys like...an item?" The term made me cringe but it's a question I've been asking myself for two weeks now. Was I kidding myself? Does Calum just want to be friends? Am I over-romanticizing the situation? I was alright with any sort of relationship with the man and it's not a question I'm going to come out and ask... But I can't help wanting to know

-Favorite Kiwi ;)

Not at all! The L.A weather spoiled me :(

-London

Then Maybe you should come back and let it spoil you some more ;)

"C'mon! I'm hungry!" Marci complained, "You can flirt just as easily from subway."

Grabbing my purse, I followed her out the door, as I waited for his response. "He's so cute!" I stroked the selfie that was my lockscreen. My obsession just caused Marci to roll her eyes, but it's Calum, so she let it slide.

-Favorite Kiwi

There's an idea!...After Vancouver we're actually headed back to L.A for the Kid's Choice Awards :) ...Maybe the L.A weather can spoil me and I can spoil my girl with a romantic dinner...?

I squealed so loud pedestrians glared and Marci spun around as my phone slipped straight through my fingers. The screen remained intact as the device slammed into the concrete. I clutched my stomach, forcing air into my lungs that felt as if they were going to collapse.

"What? What's wrong?" Marci asked, frantic as this point. Holding my shaking body upright. I could feel the tears threatening to fall, as I looked up at her. "He asked if he could take 'his girl' to dinner." My voice cracked, but I couldn't bring myself to be embarrassed. His Girl! He wants to take me to dinner. Marci's eyes widened and she squealed, "What the hell? Yes! What did you say?" I remembered that I hadn't responded, bending over to pick it up, just as the screen lit up and it began to ring. "Shit! Marci! He's calling!"

Taking deep breaths and vowing to keep my voice even, I swiped the answer button and Marci covered her mouth to keep from screaming.

"Hello?" I answered, semi satisfied with the forced calmness in my tone. "Hey!...I- ," I almost died at the slight nervousness in his tone, "If my message was too forward..I'm sorry... I didn't mean to drop a bomb or anything and I understand if you're not inter-."

"Calum!" I interrupted him, not believing what I was hearing. This boy thinks I would turn him down?? "I would love to! I would more than love to! I didn't mean to make you question whether or not I'm interested...because I am very interested!" I could hear him breathe a sigh of relief, "Yes! Awesome! I was so worried that I had misread the situation and-...never mind! anyway! We will be there Friday and I will come straight from the airport to your house and we can go out! Don't dress crazy fancy, I just wanna take you somewhere small and spend some actual time with you."

Marci squeaked into her hand and I thought I was going to collapse onto the pavement. "That sounds amazing! I can not wait!...would you not rather me drive separate though...ya know cause of the paparazzi and your fans?" "No, Sweetie! I want to pick you up and take you on a date." He said, making my heart flutter, "And if you're alright with it...I'm all for them seeing us and I don't care what they have to say about it, I like you...kind of a lot."

A tear slid down my cheek and Marci sat down on the pavement, still covering her mouth.

"That is!" He continued, "If you're ready for that...as soon as we go out together they'll all know who you are and a scary number of things about you...If you're not interested in all of that we can-"

"No! No! That's fine! With you, comes your lifestyle and I can accept that...I'll see you Friday." I said, wiping the tears from my eyes

"I'll see you then, Sweetheart."

As soon as the call ended, Marci let out a scream, "What the hell? What the hell? He wants to go public! with you! He wants...I cant believe this! I cant breathe! The gods have blessed you!" She began rambling but I had been stunned into silence. My chest was rising and falling and that was the only reassurance that I hadn't died and gone to heaven.

"I need food before I legitimately pass out!" Marci stood up, grabbing me and forcing me to walk.

What the hell...I felt ridiculous but I literally had no words to describe this feeling...the actual confirmation that he wanted to be more than friends...that he was interested enough to go public to his fans, despite how they might react.

"I'm going on a date with Calum Hood." I whispered, "he.asked.me.on.a.date."

My mind refused to wrap around that fact.

"Yes, he did!" Marci squealed, "And you gonna look hot as fuck."

Glancing down at my phone, numbly, I giggled at the notifications. Calum had followed my new Instagram and My new twitter.

Part of me was scared it was going to spiral out of control, probably the more rational part of me but...I didn't pay any attention.

Calum was the only thing on my mind.
