Luke's P.O.V
I watched the stone run across the pavement everytime I kicked it as me and Calum made our way back to my house. We were just talking about anything and everything really. Calum took out his black sunglasses and put them on and I did the same, suddenly noticing the heat and light coming from the blazing hot sun above us. Looking ahead of us, I noticed a girl with long black hair, similar to Sam's and gave me something to talk about.
''When I saw Sam on Thursday, I wasn't even sure if it was her or not. She's changed so much'' I start, catching Calum's attention. I watch as he nods slowly, shifting his mouth to one side, thinking.
''Yeah. For the better though'' Calum murmured, looking to the other side of the road.
''Hm?'' I ask, making sure I heard him correctly. Calum runs his hand through his hair, bringing it to the back of his neck, and turns to me, a cheeky smirk appearing on his lips. I let out a loud laugh, throwing my head back. I feel Calum lightly shove me in the arm.
''What! I'm just saying... she's hot, man'' He states between laughs, messing with his hair again. I turn my head towards him, raising an eyebrow over my sunglasses. ''Not that she wasn't hot before!'' He says, grinning widely, holding his hands up in defense ''Ahh you know what I mean...'' He finishes, sticking his bottom lip out a bit, one of his mannerisms.
I chuckle,nodding ''Yeah I know''. We walk on in silence for a couple of minutes before any of us talk again.
''You know what Mol said to her on Monday?'' He asks me, as if he's just remembered it. I shake me head, gesturing for him to carry on explaining. ''She said that I was into Sam that morning'' He explains in a 'that's ridiculous' tone of voice. I stifle a laugh, biting my lip, and nod my head. ''Like...why would she say that?!'' He complains, making wild hand gestures in disbelief.
''Because you were'' I immediately say, letting a small chuckle escape my lips. I laugh more as Calum turns to look at me, his jaw dropped, and shoves me for the second time.
''Ew, bro! She's one of my best mates'' Calum yells as we step into my house and climb the stairs up into my bedroom.
''Your best mate...'' I say, nodding in understanding ''that you think is hot''. I'm doing this purely to annoy Calum now. I brace myself as he tackles me to the bed, me laughing uncontrollably.
''Shut the fuck up! I'm not into her!'' He yells, holding my arms down on the bed. I smirk whilst I think of the perfect response to his statement.
''Right. But you'd like to get 'in to' her'' I respond, matter-of-factly. I watch in amusement as Calum's facial expression changes from angry to completely shocked at my incredible comeback.
''Oh god!'' He screams, laughing and covering his face in his hands and rolling onto the floor ''You're an asshole'' He manages to get out between laughs.
''I know, man. I know'' I reply, laying back on my pillow with my hands behind my head.
************ The next day (Saturday)***********
Calum's P.O.V
I whistled out a Blink-182 song as I walked down the path to Sam's front door. We haven't had a chance to hang out since before summer so I decided to call for her today. Both her parents were at work like they always are on Saturdays and I remember that because I don't know anyone else who works on a Saturday except her parents.
I knock three times on the front door, peering through the side window for anyone. After about a minute, I finally see her come round the corner, from the sitting room, and walk towards the front door. I give a small wave in the window and watch as her face lights up once she spots me.
I push my two hands on either side of the door frame and hear the click of Sam opening the door.
''Calum!'' She smiles, brightly at me, wrapping her arms round my middle for a quick hug before proceeding to let me into the house. I make my way into the sitting room, where the TV is on, and lay down on the couch. I pull out my phone, checking for texts as she comes into the room after me.
''Oh yep that's ok. Not like I was sitting there or anything'' She states sarcastically, sitting in the armchair beside the couch. I just flash her a grin and reply to a few texts from Luke and Rylie. Once I'm done, I slide my phone back into my back pocket and rest my hands on my chest. ''So'' I start ''What's up?''
''Nothing really...been here all day'' Sam replies, reading something off of her phone.
''Lucky I'm around today then'' She nods, smiling as she brings her legs up onto the arm of the couch, touching our toes.
************** couple hours later **********
Sam's P.O.V
Me and and Calum were lying on the couch. We'd just finished watching Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and now we were just chatting.
''So did anything happen over summer? Fill me in, Cal'' I ask, nudging him with my foot, urging him to tell me something. He shrugs his shoulders, eating another grape off the table.
''Yeah, I guess.'' He replies, looking at the ceiling, trying to remember something. ''Oh yeah, me and Annie hooked up a few times.'' He continues, casually. I raise my eyebrows in surprise. I mean, it's not the first time Calum as hooked up with someone from our friend group like I'm pretty sure he made out with Molly a few times before. But never Rylie, she's Luke's. They're not dating or anything but Luke likes her and everyone's pretty sure that she likes him too.
''It was like a 'friends with benefits' type thing but we called it off. Didn't feel right I guess'' He continues, eating three more grapes. I pick of my nail polish, thinking about how much I've probably missed out on.
''I like the idea of it yano? Not having any feeling involved in it just fun. No complications.'' I nod in response, taking the box of grapes away from him and grabbing a handful, eating them two by two.
A minute passes until I speak. ''Yeah I see what you mean. It would be pretty amazing'' I say, giggling a little. I look down into the box of grapes, feeling Calum's toes wiggling against mine. I smile looking up to find his brown eyes staring me in the face from the opposite side of the couch. I hold his gaze as I place the grapes back on the table. I watch, carefully, as the corner of Calum's mouth slowly lifts into a little smirk. The smirk disappears and the two of us move at the same time. Clambering over me, Calum plants his lips firmly on mine, hovering over me as I lay my head back on the arm rest. I kiss him back, matching the hunger in his kiss. I feel Calum bring his hand down my side and sliding it around the small of my back, pulling my body up towards his. I bring my hand up and through his hair and the other hand running along his prominent collar bones which I guess I've always wanted to feel.
He pushes his tongue into my mouth almost straight away. I had no idea he was this much of a good kisser. He suddenly pulls back but quickly moves down to my neck, kissing it all over.
''Just let me know if you feel uncomfortable'' He murmurs into my neck, between kisses. I nod quickly, not wanting him to stop any time soon. I couldn't really believe what was happening. I was full on making out with one of my best friends on my couch. I would have never in a million years thought about Calum that way until now. I straddle my legs, allowing him to lie on me properly. I wrapped my arms around the back of his neck pulling him even closer to me as he rejoins his lips to mine. He lets out a moan, exaggerating it to make me laugh. I smile into the kiss a little but not for long.
Once things were starting to escalate, we heard the sound of my front door shutting and immediately pulled back. I quickly pulled myself up to a sitting position again, pulling the grapes onto my lap. Calum quickly sits on the other end of the couch, wiping his mouth a little, gesturing for me to do the same. Just as I flick on the TV, Luke steps in the sitting room door . We both turn and look at him, giving him a wave.
''You left your front door unlocked'' He explains, probably thinking that I was wondering how he got in but I had something else on my mind I guess. Luke skips over and sits right inbetween myself and Calum lifting his feet onto the table and laying back. I exchange a look with Calum which ends in both of us trying not to laugh for a long time. I watch as he drops his head into his hand, shaking it with laughter. I bite my lip flicking my eyes to the TV. Luke turns to look at me and then to the remote in my hands.
''So...What're we doing?'' He asks.
