Fixing Me ∞ Hood

Chapter 16 - Jealously and Testosterone

The boys, Mali and I have just been relaxing all day, and after my nightmare, that's all I wanted to do.

The boys had been extremely kind and pampering this morning, which was kind of annoying, so I'd told them to knock it off. After that we just sat in front of the TV, with Mali joining us after a little while.

Right now, I have no idea what movie is on - it's something the boys wanted to put on. Seeing that they're glued to it, and Mali and I have no interest in it whatsoever, we decided to have a girl-to-girl talk because the boys aren't listening even the slightest bit.

With me sitting on the end of the lounge, next to Calum, and Mali in the armchair next to me, it's easy for us to talk without being too loud, just in case the boys suddenly decide to listen in.

"Do you know what I just realised?" Mali gasped slightly.

"What?" I chuckled at her shocked expression.

"I haven't asked you whether you have a boyfriend or not."

"Oh..." I trailed off.

I turned my head away and suddenly seemed to become 'fascinated' with the movie.

"You do have a boyfriend!" Mali slapped my arm.

I scoffed, answering too quickly. "No."

"Don't lie to me." She pointed a finger at me.

"Fine," I sighed. "Yes, I have a boyfriend."

As Mali squealed Calum suddenly lost interest in the movie and turned to me with wide eyes.

"You have a boyfriend?" He asked, seeming slightly panicked.

"Yep." I muttered.

"I thought you said Beau isn't your boyfriend?" He asked quickly.

"He's not."

"Then who-"

"What's his name?" Mali cut her brother off excitedly.

I rolled my eyes at her persistence. "PJ."

Calum scoffed and laughed loudly, making the boys turn their heads quickly before looking back at the TV as Calum looked straight ahead, a cold expression on his face as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"That's a pussy name."

"It is not." I argued.

"It's a hot name." Mali completed my sentence.

Calum snorted. "Whatever you say."

"Calum's jealous." Mali sang, smirking.

Calum's head suddenly jerked in Mali's direction as he glared at her.

"I am not jealous of a prick named PJ." He scoffed.

"Yes, you are." Mali insisted, still smirking.

"No, I'm not." He frowned deeply.

"Calum, it's so obvious."

"I'm not jealous." He growled through gritted teeth.

"Oh my God," Mali shook her head. "You are so jealous."

"I am not." Calum snapped.

"It's so obvious that you're jealous, Calum. There's no denying it."

"Well I am denying it because I'm not jealous."

With me being in the middle between these two, I feel quite awkward with them arguing over me, especially since it's kind of about me - about Calum being jealous of my boyfriend.
