He Doesn't Know; I Know

Part Thirty Four: Who is she?

Calum's P.O.V.

"So," she continued, biting her lower lip as she stares at me. "Wanna get out of here?"

I laughed nervously, grabbing my drink. "I... but we're having fun here, aren't we?"

She leaned closer. "I'll show you what fun is o---"

And, as if on cue, I caught Michelle passing by at the corner of my eyes. I pulled her to my side. And cutting off whoever this girl I was talking to because I have no idea who she really is, I said; "oh, hey, babe! Where are you going?"

"Wha---" Michelle started, eyeing me. But I gave her the look, signalling her to play along. "I... I was looking for you!"

"Who is she?" The girl interrupted, annoyed.

"Oh, yeah," I said. "Michelle, this is... err... what was your name again?"

"Tiara," she said, bored. She rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, that," I chuckled.

"You never mentioned you have a girlfriend?" She asked. "News said you were single."

"She's my g---" but Michelle elbowed me, cutting me off.

"No. Definitely not his girl," Michelle said abruptly, giggling.

My heart dropped.

But, that's just it, I know why she was doing this. I know why she was denying us. And, I must say, that's why I love her. That's why I'm standing on my grounds, fighting to be with her even with Cheryl being a total bitch about us.

Our situation is different now. We were free before. We can go out and be seen together. Hell, we were even expected to be together even when we were just friends.

But things changed as we ventured to chase our dream. Cheryl wanted all of us to stay out of trouble with girls. She wanted us to all come out free; not in any relationship. But I can't just ditch Michelle over anything. I've waited so long to be with her.

I also don't wanna lose the dream, so, instead, I worked on both. I didn't broke up with Michelle. And, to please Cheryl, I made sure I keep my relationship with Michelle private for as long as I can. So far its working quite alright. All I have to do is get out of social medias to avoid posting something about us. And, since they've arrived yesterday, we had to be seen with any of the boys or the crew too; not just the two of us.

But, if given a choice, I'd never deny nor hide her. I want the whole world to know about her.

I guess I'll just keep holding on and be strong for us until that right time comes. Just like what she was doing.

"I guess, we'll go now," I said, pulling Michelle. "Nice meeting you, err, Tara."

"Its Tiara," she corrected, annoyed.

"Whatever," I shrugged, turning on my heel with Michelle beside me. After a couple of seconds or so, I let go of her hand, acting my part to keep us a secret. "Where are you going?"

"I was really looking for you," she said, catching up. "And I was looking for the restroom."

"Oh, its over there," I pointed at the back side of the club. "Do you want me to accompany you?"

"Nope, I'll be fine, Calum," she smiled. "Go and have fun with the boys."

Then she headed to the restroom. I smiled, watching her leave before walking to where the boys were sat. Louis and Delilah were sat next to each other, hand in hand. Luke, on the other hand, was sat across them. I'm pretty sure he's all jealous of Louis judging by the way he looks at them.
