Got Your Back || Hood

Chapter 15

Calum had been dealing with the owner of the motel for the past 15 minutes of our stranded life. Oh my goodness, this is so not good. I.am starving to death. I'm not okay.

"We're closed for tonight." The owner rubbing his tummy in front of Calum, his hands on the pockets of his jacket. Gawd, so dang cute. "Maybe tomorrow morning."

This is hopeless - I stood up from my seat and see things at this small souvenir shop.

"Other places will be the same.."

I saw Calum rubbing the back of his neck. I walked towards more at them silently listening.

"If you decide to stay for tonight. I'll book the tow." I rolled my eyes on them and concentrated on a shirt saying, 'I love Melbourne'

I immediately thought of buying it for the two of us. I don't know but I just feel like I need to buy something for him.

Should I buy this? I looked at him still talking at the owner. He caught me looking at him and gave me a wink.

I turned around, my heart's really beating fast. I wanna buy this for us but, no. He's the boy so it should be him.

**********

After 48 years, they already let us stay her for the night. Calum's still outside talking about what's going to do with the car - Mali's car to be exact.

I went out at the bathroom and my clothes smells sweat. And the worst thing? We forgot to bring clothes. Why didn't I think of this? So stupid of me. So stupid of Calum. Stupid Calum haha.

The door opened and Calum handed me a shirt, it's the shirt earlier at the shop. "Put it on." He ordered giving me a nod. "I can't sleep in this smell."

He started pulling his sweater up to his head.And since when he had muscles? I literally just gulped looking at his body.

He cleared his throat. "Don't look at my body like it's the first time you've seen it." He teased.

"But this is different..." I argued. The first time I saw it when I accidentally slipped over and pulled the towel down. And plus, we're in the living room and I'm not interested at him.

Unlike now, this is so fucking different because; 1. We're in a motel; 2. Just the two of us; 3. He's half-naked and; 4. I'm getting attracted. Omfg

"Yeah, I see because I'm just topless.." He walked towards me. "I was totally naked back, then."

"That's not what I meant-" I rolled my eyes.

He laughed loudly. "Get change and come outside. Let's eat dinner."

Then slammed the door. That jerk is just so - ugh! I was in the middle of defending myself.

**********

Calum handed me the plate. "This is all they can serve."

I gulped and digged in. "As long as it's food, I'm totally fine with it."

"Slow down." He tapped my shoulder. "Or you might get choke."

I just nodded. Gawd! Here's me being a hungry pig as always.

After I finished my food, I drank my water fully straight and let out a deep breath. I was so full and I accidentally burped.

I covered my mouth with my hand glancing at Calum smiling sheepishly at me. "Excuse me.."

"Hey, why aren't you eating your food?"

"I'm already full just by looking at you." He sighed, still smiling and gives me his plate.
