Friday 10th April
I pulled out of the kiss as Ella walked into the staff room. Calum awkwardly shuffled beside me as Ella pushed the two of us apart and sat between us. One thing i noticed about Calum since he came back was that, he seemed to be painfully shy around people that weren't me or the 5sos boys... He was still the Calum i met 7 months ago. He was just a little different around other people. I don't know how to explain it. Its as if he was nervous. I don't really know why. But he did say that he'd changed his douche bag attitude, which is true, but instead of being an idiot, he's... Awkward. I mean its really cute but its weird seeing him as anything other than his cocky self. I guess this was the real Calum Hood.
"Your shift Charlotte." She spoke after a while of glaring at Calum, who now looked really uncomfortable.
"Okay." I replied before standing up from the couch and out of the staffroom.
----
After Charlotte left to do her shift, my head snapped towards Calum who was awkwardly playing with his fingers.
"Look here Calum-" I said a little harshly. "If you even dare think of hurting Charlotte, i will end you." I snapped. "If you know her well enough, you know she's never been with a guy before, she doesn't know what she's doing, and if you dare take advantage of her - i don't give a shit if you're a celebrity - i will hunt you down." I growled at him, meaning every word i said.
"I wouldn't take advantage of her." He shook his head in reply. "Sh-she means a lot to me." He stuttered a little but released a small smile. I wasn't convinced, i was still in interrogation mode.
"Thats because she's Charlotte. Everyone she meets falls in love with her. She just doesn't realise because i've been keeping the jerks away from her." I snapped. "But you... I don't know... Its the way you look at her. So i'm allowing you to have one chance with her. Screw it up and i'll screw you up." I growled, and as i finished my interrogation, i sent him a small smile.
"I um.." He stuttered a little just as Charlotte walked back in.
"Stay away from him Ella. No scaring him off." She warned as she squinted at me.
"Hey, we were just talking." I replied holding my hands ups in defence, before turning to Calum, who was looking at his feet. "Weren't we Calum?" I asked. He fumbled on his words before sighing and standing up, walking over to Charlotte.
"Ella, leave him alone." She pouted and i just held my hands up in defence once again and released a laugh.
"I'm going to meet Mike and Luke. I'll see you later?" Calum spoke up and Charlotte nodded softly, before she began messing with her fingers. A really awkward habit that she needed to get over.
"I still don't like Michael." She pouted.
"I know you don't baby, and i'd be lying if i said he's changed, but he's not so bad anymore. I swear." He pouted but Charlotte just shook her head. This made Calum wrap his arms around her waist - so he was side hugging her - and rest his chin on her shoulder.
"He was still disrespectful to me and to you." She pouted as i grabbed my bag of the floor. I routed through it until i found my crisps before throwing my bag beside me. I opened my crips, quickly shoving some in my mouth as i watched them. "He's just so rude." She huffed, causing Calum to untangle his arms from around her. He rested both of his hands on her shoulders and spun her round so she was facing him.
"Hate to interrupt, but I totally agree with Charlotte. The guy is a douche." I spoke with a mouthful of crisps as both Charlotte and Calum laughed at me.
"You're so unladylike Ella." Charlotte shook her head in amusement. "What a lucky lad Ashton is." She giggled a little but i shrugged. Ashton didn't care that i was unladylike, he loved my manliness... Wow. That came out wrong... I watched as Calum pulled out his phone. He unlocked it and his eyes widened.
"I'm sorry Char, i really got to go. I'm late and Luke's going to kill me." He said as he pecked her lips really quick.
"Call round tonight?" She asked and he nodded in reply.
"See you later baby, i love you." He pecked her lips once more.
"I love you too." She smiled before he ran off. Damn they were cute.
