Opposites Attract (Calum Hood A.U.)

Chapter 27.5 - Date Me Instead

Calum's POV

I'm kissing her.

I'm fucking kissing her.

I know I kissed her a few times now but this is different. This is a lot more passionate and a lot longer than the past two kisses.

Well, the first kiss was a bit of a shock for both of us and the second one, well she has no idea about that one.

I pulled away moments later and we just stared at each other. I was savoring the moment and not talk because who knows, what if June doesn't really like me anymore, what if she hated the kiss, what is she hates me now.

She cleared her throat, probably to diffuse the tension and awkwardly looked around but me. I was still staring at her not saying anything.

And knowing June, she doesn't like awkward silences.

"Why did you do that?" She looked down fiddling with the hem of her shirt. Actually, my shirt. My clothes look good on her.

I was debating in my head whether or not I should just admit my feelings for her but I want to be discreet about it.

It took me a while to build up courage, but I did. "Don't date Luke."

She looked back up to me with an unreadable expression, "Calum, just because you kissed me, doesn't mean you can forbid me from dating Luke."

I ran out of words to say and being discreet is very hard so I just spoke my mind, not even realizing it coming out of my mouth. "Date me instead."

Her eyes widened at that. She was shocked. And trust me, I am, too.

"Wh-what?" She stammered and I actually find it cute, knowing I still have that effect on her.

"You heard me."

"I-uh uhm uh-" She can't even form a word so I just shut her up with a kiss.

I raised my eyebrows at her and she blushed. She pinched herself not aware of the fact that I could see it but she ended up pinching herself too much, which hurt her.

Then I smirked at her. "I'm dating Luke." Stop. "Are you, really?" It took a lot of courage to ask that, still hoping she would admit their pretend relationship.

When her eyes widened, I knew I got the answer. And I like it. Success.

"H-how did you-"

"Luke's not a very good actor, I might say." You are, though.

"Oh." She looked down once again, and I swear I saw her cheeks blushed.

Since I already asked her out, why not continue what I started? So I lifted her chin for her to look at me and started my quick speech, "Don't you ever like anybody else but me."

Possessive Calum is possessive.

"'Cause I don't like anybody else but you."

There. I fucking said it. You little snotty children must be happy now.

She nodded and that made me smile. She fucking smiled. Does this mean what I think it is?

Before she could even take it back, I slowly leaned in again and kissed her. This time, though, she's kissing me back and it's fucking perfect. Although she needs a lot more learning, I don't care as long as she's the one I'm kissing.

She tried to deepen the kiss and I just chuckled at that. Excited, are we?

She pouted and slapped my arm since I kept on chuckling but then I just pulled her in a hug, wanting to savor the moment I have with her. "Don't judge, it was just my uh fourth kiss."
