Sinking || Calum Hood

chapter 5

i awoke the next morning with calums hand still around my waist, i lifted his arm and slowly slid out of bed, being careful not to wake him up. i went to the kitchen and began cooking, my head was throbbing and i felt like absolute crap. i opened the fridge and grabbed the first thing i could find, a bottle of half empty pancake batter, i started cooking and made myself a pot of coffee.

"morning princess" i heard a deep raspy voice call from behind me "you look like crap, hungover?"

i tried to laugh but it came out as more of a huff. "a little" i grabbed my head in an attempt not to feel nauseous as i spun around "coffee and pancakes are on the table"

i heard a loud knock from the door which made me wince.

"its luke" calum turned towards the door "come in" he screamed. i quickly threw my hair into a messy bun and wiped my eyes. i was used to calum seeing me like shit, but when luke, ashton or michael where over i wanted to make sure i looked at least half presentable.

"you both look horrible" luke laughed as he walked in, his head turned towards the living room where the half finished bottle of vodka and shot glasses where left. "you guys where drinking last night?" calum nodded "you shoudl've invited me"

"okay you two" luke grabbed both us by our wrists and pulled us away from the kitchen table. "we're going shopping, get dressed" he pushed calum into my room where his clothes where kept. "and you" he turned towards me, releasing his grip on my wrist "have a shower"

about an hour later we where both ready, i put on minimal makeup, braided my hair to the side and threw on a pair of jeans and a sweater.

"See you look much better princess" Calum smiled. He held his arm out, I reluctantly wrapped my arm around his.

"I don't know what happened last night between you two, but if you start making out in the backseat of my car, I'll kill you" Calum instantly let go if my arm like he was repulsed by me.

"Nothing happened last night" he glared down at me. I guess we had to put what ever happened behind us.

"What ever you say" luke nudged my shoulder.

"Is this really necessary" luke complained. I giggled as I applied another shade of lipstick on him.

"Yes, you have the same skin tone and hair colour as me, it's easier for me too see" I had dragged the boys to the mac store to pick out a new lipstick. "Calum" I clicked my fingers in front of his face to get his attention. "What do you think of this one?"

He stared at his watch and pouted. "How long are we going to be here?" He ignored my question.

"Until you can help me choose one, now quick" I turned towards like as he laughed into the mirror, he started to pull faces.

"I like this one, I look hot" he smiled one last time before wiping it off his lips.

"What's the rush Calum" I said as I handed the cashier the money.

"nothing, can we just leave. i need to buy a pair of jeans" he sighed

"of course" i frowned as we started walking. we went tot the first store we could find, i stayed with luke as calum went to find what he wanted.  

"what happened between you and calum?" 

"i dont know" i picked up a tank top "this?" i asked. he nodded "we got drunk, nothing happened, im pretty sure he hates me again anyway"

luke sighed and walked towards a pile of beanies."he doesn't hate you" 

"who doesn't hate you" calums voice called from behind. 

"it doesnt matter" i pushed past luke. "just buy your jeans, and lets get out of here" 

we arrived at the appartment shortly after, i was sitting on the couch with luke, watching toddlers and tiaras. calum was in the shower. 

"i've always wanted to do that" luke said, his eyes still attached to the tv. 

"do what, go in a childrens beauty pageant" i laughed. 

"dont judge" he pretended to flick hair away from his face. "you saw me in that lipstick, i was beautiful" 

"you're such a dork" i giggled. 

"i have an idea" luke sat up, slapping my arm. "you have to promise me that you will do my makeup if i join a beauty pageant" 

i held my stomach as i laughed. 

"what" he looked at me with a serious face. 

"i promise"  

"will you two stop flirting" calum sighed as he walked out of the bathroom. "how do i look"

"you look good" i smiled

luke stopped laughing "why?" 

"i have a date" calum grinned to himself.
