I got out of the car and stormed towards my door, slamming it behind me. I got home with just enough time to get ready, lucky I thought of the perfect outfit on the way. I quickly pick out a black skirt and black pantyhose, to give it an edgier look, a black and white muse crop top with laced sleeves, and a pair of combat boots, and a floral lace cream colored leather jacket. I enter the bathroom to wash my face good enough to re-apply some eyeliner and mascara. As I'm placing my phone in my pocket I hear a knock at the door.

"Ahh! He's a bit early!" I run down the stairs turning my bedroom light off behind me.

I stop in front of the door and fix my hair once again just before opening the door with a welcoming smile. My smile fades when I'm confused with the person who's standing in front of me.

"Cal?" I ask looking behind him to see he had stayed behind.

"Wow.. You look..," He started.

" What are you still doing here?"I interrupt, not in the mood to be distracted.

"I need to talk to you..," He looked in my eyes with a certain expression on his face,"It's important.."

"I'm not going to negotiate the time I spend with Logan if that's what you mean..." I say crossing my arms.

"Don't worry I'm not here to stop your date with Logan..." He scoffed and rolled his eyes.

"It's not a date! We're just friends!" My voice began to rise.

"Would you really dress like that if it wasn't.." he questioned in an unbelieving tone.

"What!? I only had like 20 minutes to get ready! Sorry if I don't look good enough for you!" I yelled taking his comment harshly.

"That's not what I meant!"

"Oh really then what did you mean Calum?"

"I meant...," he paused, rubbing the back of his neck and blush forming in his cheeks," You look.. Beautiful..."

What. Wait, what.

I'm confused..

Did he just say I... I'm beautiful..

Technically he said you look beautiful..

No guy has ever told me that..

Does he really mean that?

Is my face burning?

Oh God I'm probably a tomato!!

I instinctively shoot my hands up to my cheeks and sure enough they're unbelievably warm...

"I'm sorry that was weird. I shouldn't have said that," He rambles," We're just friends so that's weird. I mean that's crossing the border..."

"Calum.."

"I don't mean like a Mexican crossing the border, not that I have anything against Mexicans. You know I know Spanish"

"Calum!"

"Si me nombreesCalum," he says in a deep husky voice.

"No, I think your name is Zoro...." I giggle giving him a strange look, and he returns a laugh as well.

"Thank you.. I really appreciate the compliment" I say becoming more and more flushed.

He clears his throat and nods," you're.. You're welcome..."

"So uhm, what were you goi--," I'm interrupted by the sound of Logan's car pulling up," Uhh, one second."

I walk up to his car, as he begins to walk out, so I can ask him for a few more minutes to talk to Calum. He's dressed very classy but casual.

"For you," He pulls a single red rose from his back, and hands it to me with a cheeky smile.

"Oh a rose.. Thank you,"

Well so much for it's not a date...

" Is that what you're wearing?,"

"Uh, yeah?"

"You- You look stunning," he compliments," And slightly bad ass"he chuckled.

I giggled and shockingly started to blush.

"Hey, Logan, I have to go talk to Calum real quick, is that okay?"

"Oh, uh sure,"he was hesitant to agree.

"Okay! It'll only be a few minutes,"

"Alright. I'll be here!"

*Calum's P.O.V*

y/n walks back towards me with a disappointed look on her face. She's looking down at a rose, twirling the stem in between her fingers. For knowing her longer than I have, he should know she doesn't like red roses. She says she feels like every girl gets red roses because it's stereotypically the "romantic" flower, but it's not special in her opinion because most girls get red roses..

"Soo a red rose, huh?" I ask sarcastically.

"Uh, yeah.. Its nice.."

"Come on, I know you hate red roses! Plus you said it wasn't a date..."

"I don't, but it's nice... I mean.. It's not like any other guys are handing me flowers and taking me out.. ,"she explained sniffing the floor,"You know"

"No I don't..." I accidentally yell," I cant believe you're actually considering dating him!!!"

"Cal! Seriously?" she yells back," You know what. You can save whatever you had to tell me. I'm done, and I have a date."

She walks away and joins Logan in the car and drive off. I take a deep breath brushing by hair back with my fingers in frustration. My biggest regret is not kissing her when she opened the door. I should've kissed her when she was in my arms last night...

I didn't even tell her we're going back to tour early.
