So Close

Chapter 2

I woke up to the smell of pancakes and sound of what my mom likes to call her "cooking music". I looked at my phone and it was about 9 am, which meant my mom was leaving for work soon and my dad has already left. On weekends my mom gets to leave for work later. I walked downstairs because I couldn't ever resist food.

"Good morning Cameron" my mom said.

"Can I have food please?" I didn't even say it back because I hate mornings.

"Yeah, grab yourself a plate. You know how to do it. I have to leave now." I just about ran to the cabinets for a plate. I put 3 pancakes on my plate and grabbed an apple. I made myself a cup of chocolate milk too. It took me about about 15 minutes to finish everything. After I ate, I went back upstairs and took a shower. That took me a bit of a long time because I had to shave. By the time I got dressed, it was 10:45 am. I put on a black spaghetti stringed romper. I went back to the bathroom so I could do my hair. I decided I wanted it straight. It took me about 45 minutes to get it perfect. When I was done, I wanted to call Jake. I had to tell him about the plan.

"Hello?" he answered the phone with a bit of an attitude. I tried my best to ignore it.

"Oh hey babe, I have to tell you something important." I really hope he is okay with the plan. It is for him anyway, he has no reason not to like it.

"Well you're gonna have to wait. I will call you back later. Bye."

Then he hung up. What the fuck? See this is what I'm talking about. Just last night he said he misses me but today he hangs up on me? I don't get it. I do love him, but I hate how he has been acting. He was my first everything but kiss. We had sex but only once. I did it to keep him happy. But it's still something I can't just throw away. I started to tear up which I never do, so I started to dial Chloe's number. We ended up speaking for an hour and she kind of calmed me down. Once we hung up, I got a text from Calum saying he was about to leave and since he only lives about 5 minutes away, that meant he would be here soon. I walked downstairs and turned down the TV. Within a couple of minutes, I heard a knock. I opened the door and there stood Calum Hood. I looked him up and down and he did the same to me except he stopped to stare at my boobs. I rolled my eyes and scoffed and walked away. I heard him laugh and close the door. He followed me to the kitchen where I hopped on the counter to sit and stared at him.

"So its not okay for me to stare at you, but its okay for you to stare at me? " He asked smirking at me.

"No, you asshole. You were staring at my boobs and I'm only staring at you because I don't know what to say." Dear God here we go already.

"Jesus Christ, don't be a bitch. I stared at your boobs because I'm a guy and that's what we do. Now let's move on, I wanna know why you're in bad mood. I know it's not from me staring at you're boobs because I could tell you were mad or upset when you first opened the door." How the fuck does he know? I'm not acting any different than I usually would.

"None of your business. But seriously we need to start getting along if we want this plan to work." He is literally my only hope and that says a lot. "Also I have a question about this whole thing. What happens if one of us break up with who we are actually dating?" He thought for a couple of seconds before responding.

"Well they have to keep acting for the other person's sake. I wouldn't leave you hanging and I sure as hell hope you wouldn't leave me." Thank God.

"Okay, good because that's what I was hoping." Calum just grinned and nodded. After a few seconds of a comfortable silence I spoke.

"So, what do you wanna do?"

"Uh we could watch a movie. You could choose which one, I don't care." I nodded and started for the living room. I knew exactly what movie I was going to choose. It's my favorite one. I went straight for it.
