The Only Reason || Calum Hood

Chapter 6

Calum's P.O.V.

Ouch. Like a brother? That's worse than being friend zoned. I continue rubbing her back.

"It's ok. Im glad I have you too. It gets pretty intimidating and scary out there sometimes. It's nice to able to just sit down and talk and have fun like a normal teenager." I say, she laughs and rubs her eyes.

"You're nothing near a normal teenager. You're such a weirdo." She says and we both laugh.

"I can't argue there." I say and eat another oreo. Her phone then goes of.

"I'll be right back." She picks her phone up and walks out of the room.

Can she still like me if she thinks of me like a brother? Or is that just in the movies I've seen and fanfics I've read? I don't care, Im going to make her mine. Not matter how hard it'll be. Or even how long it'll take.

"You can sleep over if you like, you can use the guest room. My parents won't be home till tomorrow night." She says and smiles.

"Yea sure! I've got nothing better to do anyway." I say and continue to watch TV. Another hour passes and its midnight.

"Im gonna go to bed now Cal. See you in the morning." She yawns and wanders upstairs to her room. I turn the TV of, grab my phone and walk to their guest room, right next door to Aleah's room.

I sigh and walk to bed, thinking of all the events that happened today.

Swimming. Seeing Aleah having fun and she looked so beautiful too.

Then watching the movie and playing hide and seek. She has such a nice laugh and them she said yes for going out on a date.

Then at Pizza Hutt. Sitting together and laughing and having a good time.

Then Lazer tag. We're such a great team. It was so much fun.

Then at the ice-cream parlour. I just smile at the thought.

And then tonight. She's so special to me. I need to able to tell myself that she's mine...I sigh.

I close my eyes and drift of into a deep slumber.

"CALUM! GET YO LAZY ASS UP FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME! I MADE PANCAKES." I hear Aleah shout from down stairs.

"OK." I shout back and I hear her laugh ever so slightly.

I get changed quickly, my stomach rumbling from the delicious smells in the air.

"Ohmygod. You did bacon too!" I say excitedly as I walk down stairs into their kitchen.

"Yes Calum, I made pancakes and bacon." She giggles and hands me a full plate of the stuff.

"Thanks," I say and start to stuff my face. "Mmmm, this is really good." I say and she grins.

"Thanks! The beauty of pre-made pancake mix!" She says and throws the empty box in the bin.

"Cheat." I say quietly and she turns around and looks at me.

"Excuse me Hood. But I make some pretty good pancakes. So shut your mouth and eat." She says and playfully hits my shoulder.

"Im going to get ready. Yell if you need anything." She smiles and walks away.

I quickly make a series of things to do in my head. The beach? Movies? Walk in town?

I think movies, a nice lunch and then ice-skating later. I nod my head, feeling confident of my plan.

"Hey, how do I look?" She asks and Im pretty sure my jaw dropped to the floor.

She looked flawless.

Wearing just black skinny jeans, black vans, a white shirt and a jacket. And the one thing I love most about her, she wears hardly any makeup. Just a bit of mascara, eye shadow and eye liner. Nothing much in my opinion.

She coughs loudly. "So...do I really look that bad?" She plays with her long dark hair, her brown eyes shining.

"Amazing. I mean, ah...yea. You look amazing Aleah." I say and I can feel the blush creeping onto my cheeks.

"Thanks Calum!" She says, grinning from ear to ear. "So, what's the plan for today?" I ask and I grin.

"I was thinking a movie, lunch and then ice-skating?" I ask and she keeps grinning.

"Sounds perfect!" She says and I let go of the breath I didn't realise I was holding.

"Lets get to it then!" I say and get up. She looks at me, a cheeky look on her face.

"That sounds dirty." I laugh.

"And you sound like a five year old finding out what it means." She pouts at me.

"I'd watch it Hood. Im a five year old with sass." We burst out in pure laughter.

"A five year old with sass? That's new." She just looks at me.

"Im not your normal five year old." She winks and walks through the door, leaving me smirking.

"Well, come on then!" I hear her shout and I close her door, knowing it'll lock itself.

"Coming my little sass queen." She laughs.

"Always knew you would eventually bow down to me some how." She says and we keep walking.

Was meant to be a dirty joke or was I just thinking like that?

Yep. I was just thinking it.
