Catfish: Two People Already in Love

Chapter 23

Angie POV

I haven't spoken to Calum since the night he, Harry, and Zayn saved me from those goons. I'm beyond pissed that he hasn't talked to me. I lay in my room staring at the ceiling while his cd blasts from the speakers. A pounding on my door makes me groan. I stand up and stalk to the door. I yank it open freezing when I see Calum's guilty face. He holds out a bouquet of daisies and I take them carefully. 

"What's this for?" I ask. 

"To say I'm sorry. I shouldn't have ignored you. It was wrong of me."

"Are you going to tell me why you ignored me or can I go back to staring at the ceiling and throw these away." I snap angrily. He flushes and looks at the floor kicking at the carpet with his converse. 

"Ed told me to stay away from you. That he would beat the shit out of me if I came anywhere near you. And you know your cousin's a pretty scary guy. Then I realized it didn't matter. I didn't care if he beat me up. I just wanted to be with you." He says quickly and I stare at him in shock. 

"Edward fucking Sheeran. I'm gunna kill him! And don't think you're off the hook mister I'm still mad." I say pointing at him. He nods and I sigh stepping back so he can come in. He walks past me and stands awkwardly in the living room. "I'm going to put these in a vase."

"Yea okay." He says and sits down on the couch. I set the flowers on the counter and sigh gripping the edge of the counter. 

"DAMN IT!" I scream and slam the vase into the sink watching it shatter. My cousin always had to ruin it. I start grabbing the pieces and shriek as a piece slices my hand. 

"Angie what's wrong!" Calum yells running in behind me. I turn to look at him holding up my bleeding hand. "Shit Ang."

He takes my other hand leading me to the bathroom and pushes me down on the toilet before fishing around in the cabinets for the first aid kit. I watch him carefully as he bandages my hand. When he's done he looks up at me resting his hands on my knees his thumbs rubbing soothing circles on my skin. 

"I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have listened to him. I'm so sorry Ang please forgive me." He whispers his voice raspy. I sigh and nod. He smiles and reaches up cupping my face in his hands before pressing his lips to mine. I sigh and he chuckles against my lips as I wrap my arms around his neck. He pulls my lip between his teeth tugging gently before picking me up and setting me on the counter standing between my legs. We continue to make out before a loud banging on the door. I groan and peck Calum's lips repeatedly before scurrying off his laughter echoing off the walls as he chases after me. I swing the door open as he snags my waist. We both freeze as we meet my cousin's eyes. 

"I thought I told you to stay away from her dick wad." Ed snaps stepping inside. 

"Ed! Don't talk to him like that." I snap. 

"I'll talk to him how ever I like. He needs to fucking leave."

"What did he do to make you hate him so much!" I yell and he steps towards me. 

"Like you don't know."

"No Ed I don't why don't you explain it to me!" I say throwing my hands in the air. 

"He is going to play you Angie! He's done it to tones of girls! He makes them fall for him and then walks away. I don't want you to get hurt again. Remember what happened last time!" 

"Do not even bring him up. Calum is nothing like him." I say. "If you're going to be a dick you can just leave. My boyfriend and I were busy and you interupted us now go."

"Fine but when he breaks your heart don't come to me." He snaps and storms out the door slamming the door shut. 

"Baby what was he talking about? What happened last time?" He asks quietly turning me around in his arms. 

"When I was 17 I was utterly in love with this guy. He proposed and we were going to get married when I got out of school, but then he became really distant and dumped my for my older sister. They're married with a baby girl now. It completely broke my heart. I swore I'd never let anyone into my heart again. Until I found you." I whisper looking up at him. He smiles sadly and presses his lips to my forehead. 

"I would never do that to you Angie. I promise I'm here until you send me away." He says and I smile hugging him tightly. 

"Thank you." 

"Will you go out to dinner with me?" He asks and I pull back. 

"Like a date?"

"Yea. A proper date. I'll pick you up at 7." He says and pecks me on the lips quickly and dashes out the door. I run into the hallway. 

"what should I wear!"

"Something pretty!" I roll my eyes and walk back inside strolling to my bedroom. 5:00 I have like two hours. I hop in the shower quickly washing my hair and getting out. I blow dry my hair before curling it. I put on some light makeup before pulling my new dress out of the closet. I lay it on my bed and turn the radio up and start dancing around laughing. My phone buzzes and I pick it up. 

"Heeelllllloooo!" I yell over the music. 

"Are you listening to our cd?" Calum's amused voice comes through the speaker and I turn down the radio quickly. 

"No no no I was listening to One Direction." I say quickly. 

"Uh huh. I'm on my way back. Just wanted to let you know see you soon."

"See ya soon!" I say and toss my phone on the bed and pull my dress on. I slip into my heels as Calum knocks on the door. I walk towards the door quickly to reveal Calum in a suit with no tie and the top button is undone. I smile as he takes my hand and kisses my cheek. 

"You look wonderful."

"Thanks. You don't look so bad yourself." I say with a giggle. He grins and pulls me outside. I quickly lock the door and he leads me down to the lobby. He intertwines his fingers with mine and we stroll down the street. He pulls me into a small Italian resteraunt. I smile the dimly light resteraunt seemed so quaint and lovely. Our waitress leads us to our table and coninuously flirts with Calum. I shoot her a glare grabbing his hand across the table. "If you don't mind I'd like to be alone with my boyfriend. I'll have a glass of water."

"I'll have a coke." He says smirking at me. I blush as she walks away quickly. "Someones jealous."

"No I'm not she was oogling at my boyfriend and it pissed me off the end." I say crossing my arms. He chuckles. 

"That's called jeleously babe." He says and I roll my eyes. The waitress comes back giving us our drinks and quickly taking our orders. We laugh and talk the whole time until the resteraunt closes. His arm wraps around my waist as we make our way back to my apartment. I giggle as he kisses my neck while I unlock my door. He tries to follow me inside but I put my hand on his chest  shaking my head. 

"Let's take it slowly tiger. I'll see you tomorrow." I say and kiss him lightly before closing the door. 

"Good night Angie." He calls through the door and I can hear him walking away. I smile leaning against the door before kicking off my shoes and walking to my bedroom. I strip off my dress an slip into bed in just my underwear. I smile curling up in my blankets and fall asleep.
