~Scarlett POV~

"Take a right here," I told Calum, tugging on his right ear.

"Ow, what was that for?" He whined.

"I was making sure you turned in the right direction."

"By tugging on my ear?"

"Fine, I'll do something else next time."

"No, that's okay, I know my left and right."

"Yeah because I told you! Next time you might not!" Calum let out a frustrated sigh as I tried to hold in my laughter.

"How many more turns do we have to take?"

"Just two," I said and started running my fingers through his hair. He took the right turn and walked another block before I gave him his next directions, patting and squeezing his left cheek. "Left here, please."

"Scarlett."

"Yeah?"

"What the f*ck is wrong with you?" He laughed.

"Hey! Just because I'm weird doesn't mean I don't have feelings!"

"I'm just kidding! Kind of," he said, whispering the last part and smirking when he thought I couldn't hear him.

"Don't you know that you should never make a girl angry when her hands are on your neck? Make another left up here," I told him, this time bringing my hand down to punch the left side of his bum.

"Keep the hands above the waist, Scarlett!" Calum exclaimed.

"Sorry," I giggled, placing a kiss to the back of his head to make up for it.

"It's fine, I'll get you back for it later," he said casually. Before I had a chance to respond, I saw the food I've been wanting for over an hour.

"Ooh we're here!" I squealed, squeezing my arms tighter around Calum's neck once and then jumping off his back to grab his hand and pull him through the doors.

"Welcome to Dunkin Donuts," a tired sounding middle aged woman said from her spot behind the cash register.

"Mmm that coffee smells great," Calum said, looking down at me with a grin.

"Yeah it does," I agreed, inhaling deeply to breathe in the wonderful smell. "Do you know what you want?"

"We're at Dunkin Donuts what do you think I'm going to get?"

"I don't know. Their bagels are pretty great."

"Scarlett, if you get a bagel I will leave you here to walk back to your dorm by yourself, understand?"

"I think we stopped to get food just in time, you're starting to get a little hangry," I joked, poking his stomach. Not waiting for him to respond, I walked up to the woman at the counter. "One chocolate glaze donut please."

"Coming right up sweetie," she said with a warm smile. "Anything for you, sir?"

"Yeah, I'll get one of the ones with chocolate frosting and sprinkles please," Calum placed his order and started walking forward while he pulled his wallet out.

"Oh, I don't think so," I said when he pulled out his wallet, quickly pulling out some crumpled bills from my purse and throwing them on the counter.

"Scarlett, I can pay," Calum said with his eyebrows raised.

"I know you can but I haven't paid for anything we've done tonight so now it's my turn."
