Don't worry about me// Calum Hood

Chapter 4

Oh god, not you again. Wait did I just say that out loud?

"Yes you did. I'm sorry, were you expecting someone else?"

"No, I'm sorry. I didn't mean for it to come out that way. It's just that I couldn't get enough sleep, then I heard loud noises, and now I can't fall asleep."

"Sorry about that. We were actually done practicing. Umm do you want to come in and hang out with us? I mean you said you couldn't fall asleep anymore, might as well do something right?"

"Oh no that's fine. I'll just leave you guys alone."

"No come on inside. We will  play FIFA and I'll even teach you how to play, come on please!" He began to pout. Oh god that was my weakness.

"Fine I'll play FIFA with you guys."

Their room was all messy. There was a trail of clothes on the ground and I think I saw a couple of boxers along the way. Typical.

"Hey you guys remember Blue right?"

"Oh you're the cute girl from LA right?" Michael said.

"Alright Michael that's enough. So she's going to play FIFA with us okay. Come sit here with me Blue."

I sat down on the ground and Michael handed me the controller. I then felt Calum sit right behind me and snaked his around me to reach the controller. The simple touch of his made me uncomfortable. I shifted a little.

"Is this okay?"

I simply nodded. What was I supposed to say. The position we're in makes me feel and think things that are unimaginable. Wait, Blue you need to focus on the game. You know how to play.

"Okay I'm going to teach you the basics and then I'll play against you."

After he taught me everything, according to him, we started playing. Of course I was an expert, but he didn't need to know that.

"I'll go easy on you, don't worry."

I ended up winning the first game. 5-0 he wasn't to happy about that. I think I hurt his ego.

"Did you know how to play all this time and you didn't tell me?"

"Yeah, but you looked so cute trying to teach me how to play and I just couldn't tell you, you were so excited to show me so I just went along with it."

"You think I'm cute?"

"Really? That's all you heard from what I just said, unbelievable. I guess you just want to avoid the subject of you losing against me."

"Beginners luck."

"Aww sorry did I hurt your ego?"

"No" he was kind of mad at this point.

"Well I'm going to go to my room now because it reeks of sore losers  here."

I just heard the boys laugh and then continuing to say that he just lost against a girl. I left before things got out of hand.

I started to watch TV and there was nothing good. So I decided that I would watch a movie. I then heard a knock on the door.

“What’s up Calum”

“I just came to apologize for acting like a complete asshole back there. I’m sorry and you were right, I am a sore loser. Its just that you’re the first girl that has won me.”

“No it’s fine and you know I’m not just any girl.”

“Yeah, I know. There’s something different about you, but I don’t know what it is just yet.”

“Don’t worry about me Calum. Umm I was about to watch a movie, would you like to stay and watch it with me. I mean only if you want to.”

“Yeah sure I’ll stay. So what movie are you picking. Don’t tell me you’re choosing a chick flick.”

“Oh calm down those are not that bad, but no I was actually thinking of watching a scary movie. Now those are my favorite, if that’s okay with you unless you’re too scared.”

“I’m not scared.”

We sat on the couch and I had made popcorn for the both of us. I tend to eat more when I get nervous, especially when I’m watching a scary movie. The movie had started and things were getting awkward because I could feel Calum glancing over his shoulder to look at me. I would do the same, but I would like to think that I was more subtle. I reached over for popcorn because I knew that someone was going to get killed so I put my hand in the bowl and I touched someones hand I literally flipped the fuck out. I jumped so high that I landed on Calum’s lap. I punched Calum on the chest.

“You fucking scared me Calum.”

“What did I do? I was just reaching for popcorn and the next thing I know you’re sitting on my lap.”

“Oh yeah sorry about that.” As I was getting off his lap I couldn’t help but see this sparkle in his eyes that made me melt. I could feel his face coming closer to mine and I wanted to move but I didn’t. His lips pressed against mine and it was a sweet kiss, but I pulled away.

“Calum I think it’s better that you leave.”

“Did I do something wrong? Could we at least talk about it?”

“Just leave Calum. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
