Wednesday.

"Welcome to my grocery store," I smile in awe, looking at the huge building.

"How is it your grocery store?" Calum asks next to me, looking from the building back to me questioningly.

"Oh, you'll see," I smirk, walking into the building and grabbing an extra large cart.

"Why are these carts so huge?" he questions me again, staring at the cart with wide eyes.

"Just follow me," I smile and start pushing the cart into the actual shopping area, my smile gets wider as I start to see the extra large grocery items. This store sells extra large items for restaurants and such. Instead of a little baggie of flour, they had huge sacks of flour, same with sugar and other items.

"Holy shit," Calum has his mouth wide open along with his eyes. "I understand why you say this is your grocery store now," he let's out a small laugh and I just nod back at him. I take out my little tablet and pull up the grocery list, handing it to Calum.

"You're going to be my list person, all you have to do is tell me what we need and make sure to check it off the list," I tell him, making sure he knows what to do. It may seem like an easy task but other times I have came here with someone and I had given them the list they didn't check it off so we had to lift up all the products to check it off and made sure we aren't missing anything.

"Got it, list items and check it off," he nods to me and I nod back as a thanks.

"I'm bored! How much longer?" he whined next to me.

"We've only been here for like 30 minutes.." I rolled my eyes slightly, grabbing sacks of powdered sugar and tossing it in the cart.

"But it feels like we've been here for 100 years," he continues to whine and I roll my eyes again.

"Stop being a baby and try to beat me to the end of the isle," I say the last part fast as I hop on the cart and use on foot to push myself and the cart as fast as I could.

"Hey!! That's cheating!" he whines again and I just laugh at him until I notice that I'm about to crash into the refrigerated section.

"Calum! Help!" I yell slightly as my eyes shut tightly as my hands have a death grip on the cart handle.

"I got you, babe," I feel the cart come to a sudden stop and I feel his body behind me, his arms around me with his hands holding the cart which is what made it stop. I realize that he called me 'babe' and my face burns bright like if I burned my face with a flat iron.

"O-oh thanks," I give him a grateful smile. I step off the cart and let it go, I turn around and face him, he still has his arms around me, holding onto the cart. I blow a piece of hair out of my face.

"Thank you again," I manage to whisper as I look from his eyes to his lips again and again.

"It's nothing really," he whispers also whispers, it seems like his face gets closer to mine. It does but his lips aren't coming to mine, they're going to my ear. "Let's finish shopping," he whispers before removing his body from mine. I stand there starstruck, then shaking my head a little to remove myself from the daze.

"Eggs?" he asks next to me with his left eyebrow going up. I simply just nod, holding onto the cart again and leaning my body to put my chin on the top of my hands. Pushing the cart with this awkward angle.

All I could think about is how close our bodies were, how close we were to kissing. I shouldn't be feeling like this, we barely know each other and he's already making me all flustered. It's going to be a long 3 days until the party.

-

"Okay, this is where shit gets real," I place my hands on my hips, looking at the piles of ingredients. We managed to get everything we needed and once we got to my house, we brought everything into the kitchen, I had called out for anyone in the house, but it seemed like no one is home. So Cal and I had to drag in all the materials and placed them in the kitchen against the wall so they wouldn't be in the way.

"Oh, jeez," Calum seemed to be panting a little under his breathe, probably tired from all the sacks.

"You need to hit the gym, Cal," I laugh at him and pat his shoulder while he rolls his eyes.

"That's no fair, you're used to this," he shoots back and I just shrugged.

"Okay so, since it's almost late-ish, let's just get some frostings done and we can put them in the fridge downstairs so they can firm up a bit overnight and it'll be able to whip them up later and make them fluffy," I explaining while starting to get the powdered sugar and the butter.

"That makes sense.. I think. What can I do for you boss," Calum stands next to me and watches me measure.

"I need you to got get the cocoa powder and boil it with some hot water to activate it," he simply nods and then gives me a confused face. "Just measure the cocoa powder and boil it." He nods again and does what he's told.

"Do you go to my school? I've never seen you around, but the school has so many people that I see a new person everyday," I let out a small laugh while I whip the ingredients together.

"Uh, no actually, I'm in a band with the guys that were with me," he replies.

"Oh really? That's cool, what genre?" I question, getting more ingredients and mixing them in.

"Mainly just punk rock," he replies has he brings me the pot with the cocoa and water substance and sets it on the counter. "Ever heard of Blink-182?"

"Of course I have, they are amazing," I smile widely at the thought of one of my favorite bands.

"Yeah? Well we have that type of sound, they're kind of our inspiration," I see him smile, probably thinking about his band.

"That's really cool Cal, will you guys be playing at the party?" I say and I take the pot and pour in the substance on the side of the bowl as I tell him to mix mix everything slowly.

"We are actually, we have a couple songs, I hope you'll watch me hu-huh us I mean," he laughs a little nervously.

"I would love to watch 'you hu-huh you guys I mean'," I let out a laugh as I tease him about what he said.

"Oh shut up," He laughed again and his cheeks seem to burn with embarrassment.

"Speaking of bands, let's put on a bit of music shall we?" I smile at him, taking out my phone and playing some music.

"Let me guess, Metro Station," I nod waiting for him to continue, "Kelsey?"

"You got it! High five," I put my hand up to give him a high five but then I realize that I have frosting on my hands. "Uh, let's make that an elbow five," I laugh as we bump elbows.

"Okay we should probably get most of these frostings done so we can get some shut eye," he comments and goes back to mixing and I nod as I also get back to work.

A/N: What kind of bands do you guys like? or singers? I like to listen to classical when I'm doing homework but I'm all for Metro Station, Troye Sivan, One Direction, SWS, PTV and such.
