Opposites Attract (Calum Hood A.U.)

Chapter 16 - Home Alone

June's POV

For the days that passed, I was thankful that Michael hadn't asked anything about that day in Luke's house. They've been practicing almost every day and might I say, they're really good, but I think that there's still something missing to complete the band.

However, they appointed Luke as their vocalist 'cause damn, the boy can really sing, I tell 'ya.

I was now home from school when Aunt Joy called me from downstairs.

"Honey, I need to go to my sister's house, apparently, she's really sick and I need to take care of her and her children. I left money on the table in case you want to order dinner. Don't worry, Calum is in his room, so you won't be alone. Okay?" Aunt Joy explained while fishing her necessary belongings and yelled a quick goodbye to Calum.

An hour later, Calum came down from his room, putting his shoes on.

"Heyy, uh, are you going out?" I hesitantly asked him and he looked at me, "I'm going out for dinner."

"I'll make dinner." I chirped enthusiastically and he just stared at me but then he kicked his shoes off and went back up to his room. "Call me when dinner's ready."

This is it. I'll make the perfect meal for Calum.

I browsed all the recipe books Aunt Joy has in the kitchen, and even watched recipe videos on YouTube. When I decided on the perfect dish for Calum, I started cooking.

"When the fuck is dinner going to be ready?" Calum came into the kitchen, he coughed at the amount smoke and his eyes widen at the sight in front of him. I almost burnt the house down. There was an unamused look on his face and he came closer to me.

"I think I burnt the food a little. Heh."

I told him to seat and I put our plates down the table. He stared at the food and looked at me, "What the fuck is this?"

"Buffalo Wings?" It came out as a question seeing Calum wasn't too happy about the outcome. He tried to eat the appetizer first but he just spat it out. "You burned the wings, but the corn is as hard as a shell?"

"So you don't like it?" I grinned at him and he just scoffed at me. He threw both our plates and went to the kitchen himself.

So basically, he was the one who cooked dinner.

He put the plates in front of us and he quickly dove into his food.

I put a spoonful of the food in my mouth and I think I just tasted heaven. "Woah, how did you make the eggs taste like this. It's so delicious." I moaned at how the food tasted so good.

What can't he do? He can even cook excellent food. I guess, he's really good at everything.

"You can cook really good."

"It's because I have a brain." He replied not even looking at me. I looked at him confused and he turned to me, "You also need a brain to know how to cook."

"Oh, my dad must be really smart then." I grinned at him and continued eating my food. Then I remembered, "Then Luke must be really smart, too! He cooks really good. European style food, it's really delicious."

I heard Calum drop his spoon a little loud and he got up. "Oh, you're done eating?" I asked him but he ignored me. He picked up his plate along with mine and dropped it in the sink.

"What, I wasn't done eating." I tried to complain but it was no use.

"Clean up and wash the dishes." And with that, Calum left me in the kitchen. Is he on his man period?

Aunt Joy hasn't come home, even Uncle David. Aunt Joy said that his husband was working overnight because he has a deadline.

I decided to study for my next lesson in Maths, since I've been doing great in my tests for the past few months, I want to continue having good grades without Calum's help. We still have our regular study sessions because of our deal and nobody in school knew yet that Calum and I lived together.

I looked for my Maths book but it wasn't anywhere. Did I leave it in my locker? No, I'm certain that I brought it home. Could it be? I must have left it in Calum's room.

Should I go there and get it?

No. He must be sleeping now.

But I need to study.

Ugh.

So I stood up and went to Calum's room. The lights were already off meaning he's already sleeping so tiptoed inside and glanced everywhere for my book.

After a few minutes, I found it on his table. I turned around ready to go out of the room when someone gripped my left arm.

"What are you doing here?" Calum asked me, "I was just uh looking for my book." I answered him and showed him the book I was holding.

"Do you really think I would believe that?" He smirked at me and I frowned at him when he continued, "So you're telling me that, you decided that it's the perfect time for you to look for you book, in my room, at night, when it's just the two of us in the house?"

"N-no, I wasn't-Ah!" He pulled me into him and laid me on his bed.

He's on top of me.

Calum freaking Hood is on top of me!!

"So you're saying that, you don't want this? I mean, I'm a guy, you're a girl." Calum said motioning to the position that we have in right now.

"Calum, please." He's slowly leaning in. Is he going to kiss me?

"Calum, I'm a virgin." I told him and he stopped, he laughed at me and pulled away. "Virgin?" He continued to laugh and I sat up. He was still making fun of me when I stood up and ran outside his room.

Why would he play me like that?

He is such a jerk!

Why would he make fun of me being a virgin?

He must have really done it with a lot of girls.

I locked myself in my room, tears trying to escape in my eyes. I just made a fool of myself in front of Calum. That was so embarrassing.
