Clandestine (Calum Hood)

10. Hoods Family Dinner

Amelia's Pov ♦

Calum left and I finished my bath. I quickly dried off and went into my room.

"Oh my god.."

I walked to my bed and saw a one sleeve gorgeous red dress with a gold necklace laying on top.

The necklace had a gold heart on it.

It was beautiful. I smiled.

It seemed expensive though.

I was going to call him and say I couldn't but I knew it'd be pointless.

I hung the dress up and got ready for bed.

The next morning I was woken up my a knock at the door. I went downstairs and opened it not caring that I was in my pjs. I looked at the clock by the door and it was 3 pm.

It still amazes me when I sleep in like that.

I opened the door and saw Michael.

"Michael, hey."

"Hey. Sorry, I didn't call I just, I wanted to see you."

I put my hand threw my hair trying to make myself look somewhat presentable. "It's fine, you can come in if you want."

"Thanks, I mean I can't stay I was just going to ask if you wanted to go out tonight."

"Oh, tonight.. I can't tonight I'm going with Ca- im um I have plans..tonight. Rain check?"

His smile turned to a frown. "Yeah..rain check.."

He started to walk away and I felt guilty. "Michael! Um, can we watch a movie tomorrow?" I smiled. "Please?"

He smiled at me. Good. "Yeah, can't wait."

I waved to him then shut my door. I went to the kitchen and made waffles and put peanut butter and syrup on it. My fav.

My phone went off and I answered. "Hello?"

"Amelia darling. How is everything?"

"Fine mother."

"I wish I was there with you business is such a drag."

I scoffed. 'Business'. "Yup.." I put my plate in the sink and walked into the living room.

"The Hoods called your father and said you were attending a family /business dinner. Sounds serious."

Ugh.. "It's not. We're just friends. He wanted someone to go with him."

"If you say so, just wanted to see how you were doing love you sweetie bye."

"Mum wait I-"

I hear along beep.

I threw my phone at the couch. It made me sick knowing they could care less about me.

I went upstairs and took my keyboard out of my closet. I set it up without thinking and sat down on the little bench.

I haven't played in years after my mom told me I wasn't good enough and needed to be more serious.

I took a deep breath and pressed a key.

I heard the sound echo around my room and I immediately felt alive.

Before I knew it my fingers were moving rapidly around the keyboard and I was playing songs that I thought I'd surely forget.

I began playing Turning Pages by Sleeping at Last and was so into it when I heard a knock on my bedroom door causing me to scream.

The door opened and I saw a laughing Calum. I picked up a pillow and threw it at him. "Calum!! We talked about this! What if I was naked or something!"
