Michael and Callie consistently flirted the rest of the time we were at the bowling alley, which was about another two and a half hours. I loved how much they liked each other.
"I don't think Callie will be getting very jealous of us soon," I told Calum, smiling because of how happy Callie looked when she talked to Michael. Calum and I were in between rounds in our lane with Ashton, so we were watching the other group.
"I don't think so either. They seem to really like each other," Calum nodded. We were both looking towards Michael and Callie as Michael swung the bowling ball and threw it down the lane, watching it rapidly spin, hurdling towards the pins and soon hitting the pins, knocking down all ten of them.
"Mikey, that's your third strike in a row! How do you do that?" Callie seemed amazed at how Michael was so good at bowling.
"I can show you," Michael offered, and Callie nodded. She grabbed a bowling ball, and Michael put his arms around her. She smiled brightly as Michael showed her how to step and how to swing. When Michael let go, Callie tried it on her own and got a strike. We all cheered for her, but Michael clapped the most.
"That was great, Callie!" Michael complimented. Our lane was ready to be played in again, so Calum, Ashton, and I got our bowling balls and began to play.
I still watched Callie and Michael as I was playing the round with Ashton and Calum. I really noticed them flirting, a lot. Luke seemed to notice it too because he would roll his eyes at them when it wasn't his turn and they were flirting.
"Guys, stop. We get it. You like each other. Why don't you just tell the other person and get this moving," Luke stated. Michael and Callie stopped in their tracks, turned to the other and smiled. Luke rolled his eyes again. They wouldn't get to the point, as Luke was saying.
"Callie, do y-" I heard Michael begin to say. I nudged Calum, and he listened into the conversation too, "do you want to go out sometime? Just you and me, without everyone else." He laughed a little.
"I'd love to," Callie smiled at him, amazed. I clapped and so did Luke who muttered, "finally, you asked! Thank god!"
I laughed at Luke's reaction. Calum smiled at me. Our plan had worked to get Callie with one of the boys. I was glad she would be hanging out with him more often, so she wouldn't want to be hanging out with me when I want to hang out with Calum.
Callie ended up beating Michael in the one game they played, and Callie would not let it go. She kept teasing Michael during the drive back to their apartment.
"I think today was a success," I smiled at Calum when we got back to his apartment.
"Yeah, I think so to. Michael and Callie really like each other," he looked in their direction, and they were laughing and flirting.
"I don't know if I'm staying here tonight or going to my apartment. I think I want to spend a little time with Callie, maybe talk to her about a few things. If that's okay with you?" I asked, and he nodded.
"Good," I smiled, "I'll see you tomorrow, then, babe," I kissed his cheek before grabbing my bags and walking out to my car. Callie said goodbye to Michael and made her way out to her car, too.
"I have so much stuff to talk to you about," Callie smiled as she got into her car. I knew it.
"Okay.. We'll talk back at our apartment, okay?" I asked, and she agreed. We both pulled away from the boys' apartment and started driving towards ours.
Callie must've really like Michael, like, completely loved him because she would always smile when she said his name. I knew whenever they met each other that they really liked each other. This is really good for them and for Calum and me.
"Lilliana," Callie sighed when we both got home and had sat down on the couch. She looked to be sad, not happy like I though she'd be.
"What's wrong, Callie? I thought you had a great time today! What happened?" I asked her a few different questions, "are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine.. It's just that.. I-" she sighed, looking from one side of the living room to the other, "I can't really explain it."
"What do you mean? I thought you liked Michael, but what happened with that? Did he say something? Did one of the other boys say something?"
"Well, not really, but sort of.. I really do like Michael. He's amazing.. Cute and funny, a little weird,but I like that."
"Okay, what's wrong with that? You really like Michael. Just get on with what's bad about that."
"There's nothing bad about Michael, Lilliana. It's definitely not anything wrong with him, or any of the other boys. They're all nice.."
"Then what's wrong? Callie, stop procrastinating and just tell me what's wrong."
"I don't know how to say it.. I already said yes to going out with Michael sometime, alone. I don't know what I'm going to do now."
"What? Do you have a secret boyfriend that I don't know about, and you don't want to go out with someone else?"
"No, that's not it. Why would you think I have a secret boyfriend?" She laughed, and I shrugged.
"Well, the think that's bad is that.. When I met Michael, I instantly liked him."
"And? You've been telling me the same things about Michael that you've already told me twenty times!"
"What I'm really trying to say is that I like Michael, a lot," she sighed, "but I also like Luke.."
