When I woke up in the morning I smiled at the thought of last night with Calum.

He was really sweet, and I really liked him.

I showered and dressed in shorts and a v neck
white shirt then put a red cardigan in my bag because it got cold in the store.

After brushing my teeth, braiding my short hair and putting on a spot of makeup I hopped on to my bike outside and left for work.

Kate was there when I arrived and smiled at me as I walked in.

"Good morning, Kate."

"Morning, Ness. How was last night?" She asked as I set my bag on the counter and took my sweater out of it.

"It was perfect after I hugged Calum and then felt him carry me to his car so he could take me home."

"What?!" She squeaked. "Tell me everything!"

"So I was watching tv and all of the sudden he said something behind me and I wasn't expecting him to be there, and I started to cry a little because he had scared me, but he felt really bad and hugged me to make me feel better. And he brought me coffee which was really sweet, and then I fell asleep but woke up to him carrying me, and I pretended to be asleep. And he took me home and put me in my bed, and then he like leaned in really close and whispered goodnight to me and," I sighed happily, "It was so sweet."

"Oh my God why won't you two date already?!"

"Exactly!" I exclaimed. "He's just so sweet and I want to get to know him better and every time I look at him I just want to kiss him and ugh...I don't know how much longer I can stand this."

"Well I don't think you'll have to wait much longer because here he comes." Kate said as she looked towards the door.

"What?" My eyes went wide and looked to see Calum about to walk in.

I stood up straight as he opened the door and I noticed he had a coffee carrier in his hands.

"Hey!" He smiled brightly as he walked in.

"Hey." Kate and I both said back.

Calum walked up to the counter and then passed me a coffee.

"Oh. Uh- thank you, but you didn't have to bring me coffee."

"It was no problem, I was getting drinks for the guys and thought you might like something."

"I should be the one bringing you coffee since you took me home last night. Sorry for falling asleep again."

"It's fine. I know I get back late. And next time you can get me the coffee."

"Deal." I laughed as he smiled a very charming smile at me.

"So Eli woke me up with breakfast in bed this morning, I'm going to guess you were the one who put him up to that."

"I might have given him the idea." I smirked. "He's very sweet and wanted to do something since he knows you work a very important job."

"Well it was really cute. He told me that you said he should start making his own cereal since he was a big kid and not wake me up to do it for him."

"Thought you might like the sleep." I shrugged and then took a sip of the coffee.

"It was great. Thanks."

My cheeks were red from the blush I got whenever I spoke to him and his were as well, and I tapped my foot against the ground as I looked down.

"So uh, about last night..." He began and I looked up. "I really am sorry for scaring you, I didn't mean to."

"Calum it's no big deal." I gave him a comforting smile and then realised I had reached out to place my hand on his.
