Summer //hood//

9. She's Into Drummers and Guitarists Anyways

"So, how was the date?" Michael wiggled his eyebrows teasingly to Calum.

Calum plopped down to the couch across Michael in the living room. After the lunch, Claire went to an office of her business clients and Calum went home by himself, driven home by Mr. Lee.

"It wasn't a date," Calum said. He wrinkled his face. He would never call it as a date. It was far away from a date.

"She's your wedding date, dude. So, yeah, I'm going to call it as a date." Michael leaned back to the couch and crossed his right leg on the left leg.

Calum rolled his eyes. If only Michael knew, he thought to himself. "Yes, she might be my wedding date-," Calum inwardly grimaced as he said the words, "-but today's lunch wasn't a date. At all. It was just a friendly lunch."

"Friendly my ass," Michael snorted, "Claire told me what happened this noon. It was far from friendly, Cal."

"She told you?" Of course, she would tell her brother. She liked to see him suffer because of her annoying brother.

Michael nodded with a smug grin on his face. "You'd better prepared for tonight's dinner. You're going to be seated next to her."

Calum let out an annoyed groan.

"Oh, I know you are really excited and happy, Cal. I even haven't told you Claire's plan for us before the wedding," Michael continued again.

"What plan?" Luke asked as he made his way to the living room.

"Hey, CalPal," Luke greeted as he plopped down to the couch next to Calum. Calum just smiled in response.

"Oh, you know, shopping and stuffs," Michael answered Luke, "Have I told you that we are expected to accompany our date on some occasions?" Michael asked Calum.

"What?" Calum cocked his head to the side in confusion.

"For example, if Summer has to go for shopping, you have to go with her too."

"What?" Calum shrieked. "Please tell me that he's lying, Luke," Calum turned his head to Luke.

Luke just shrugged. "It's one of Claire's rules. C'mon. It's not that bad. Actually, I think it's a pretty good idea. You know, you can make it as a bonding time or something."

"What makes you think I want to have a bonding time with her?" Calum grimaced.

Luke stared at Calum weirdly and looked at Michael with puzzled look.

"Calum has a problem with his date," Michael chuckled.

Calum groaned and he leaned his head back to the couch. He did apologized to Summer, but he did it because it was Claire's request. He was still pissed with Summer's attitude towards him. Asshole. Calum inwardly scoffed and rolled his eyes. She was the one who made him being one. If she didn't have bumped into him, maybe they would be in a good term right now. No need to pretend.

"Problem?" Luke scrunched his eyebrows in confusion.

"Yeah, remember about the girl that I told you before? She's Calum's date," Michael answered enthusiastically.

Then Luke's eyes widened and he looked at Calum and laughed. "Dude? Your date is Summer? The one that bumped into you at the airport?"

Calum let out a groan again. Michael had told Luke before Calum went home about the incidents at the airport.

"She's a nice girl, Cal," Luke said to Calum. He remembered that they had met a few times before and she was really a nice girl. She had a quite unique personality. "I still can't believe that you despise her that much. I mean- come on, she didn't do it on purpose."
