It's been three weeks since Calum and I had our first date, and it was safe to say we were official. Tutoring Luke hasn't been as painful as I though it'd be, but he did have some pretty intolerable moments. There were times I wanted to choke the hell out of him, but there were also times that I wanted to treat him like he was a baby and just tell him how smart he was.
"Babbbbbe." Calum groaned, poking at my sides. "What do you want to do today?"
"I don't know." I giggled, rolling into my stomach. "You suggest something."
"How about the movies?" He asked, letting his head fall upside down from the edge of my bed. "Or we could just go for a walk?"
"That sounds fun." I smiled.
"Yeah I heard about this fountain and old friend of mine used to take someone to. Do you want to visit it?"
"Sure."
"Actually." He stuttered. "We can't. Not today at least."
"Why?" I whined.
"Because I'll plan something for that walk."
"Calum." I smiled at the ceiling. "As long as I'm with you, nothing ever needs to be spectacular."
"Thanks babe." He mumbled, sitting back up.
I looked at him as he looked at me, but I'm sure our thoughts were completely different. I looked at him, curious of when he'd get the guts to ask me to be his girlfriend, even though we only went on one date, I was certain that he and I were meant to date.
"Are you gonna answer that?"
"Huh?"
"You're phone is ringing Chelsea." He said slowly. "Are you going to answer it?"
"Oh yeah." I stuttered, picking it up. "Hello?" I asked to the unknown number.
"Is this Chelsea?"
"This is she."
"Hey, it's Luke. I'm kinda having a problem and I was wondering if you'd help me out with it?"
"Really?" I asked in a monotone voice.
"Yes, it's important and private so please come alone."
"Luke you can't be-"
"See you soon thanks!" He yelped, ending the call.
I looked at Calum, and again he looked as me as a frown spread across my face.
"I'm sorry." I began, falling onto my back. "The idiot is having a problem and needs my help."
"Seriously?" He asked blankly.
"I'm sorry!" I whined. "I can't help it, he expects me to be there any minute now."
Calum let out a deep breath, rolling his eyes as he began to stand up. "Do you need me to walk you?" He asked, adjusting his pants along his waist.
"I think I'm okay." I mumbled. "I'm so, so sorry." I pleaded, softly kissing his cheek as I grabbed my coat to leave. He followed me out the door, giving me one last kiss before we parted our ways.
It's not that walking to Luke's house was a pain, it was the fact that he had called at the wrong time to bug me. I let out a deep breath before banging on his door with my forearm, not even caring if I was disturbing him or not.
After about thirty seconds of me banging on the door, he finally opened it, causing me to almost hit him in the face.
"Watch it there." He laughed, welcoming me inside.
I rolled my eyes at him as I respectively took off my shoes and place them next to the door.
"So what in the hell did you need today? On a Saturday?"
"We have our first Calc test Monday." He smiled. "I'm nervous and I feel like I need some more help."
"Really?" I said blankly. "Luke, you understand all the material, I somehow managed to shove it through your thick brain, now you're saying you need more help?"
"Maybe I don't." He admitted, causing me to roll my eyes again. "Maybe I called you because I was lonely and wanted someone to hang out with."
"Are you serious?" I asked. "Please don't be serious." I began to laugh hysterically, bending down to place my shoes back on my feet then reaching for the door since there was no way in hell I'd spend my Saturday night with Luke.
"C'mon." He pleaded. "Just let me take you on an adventure."
"An adventure?" I asked.
"Yeah, to this place my dad would take me before he left me." He said softly. "Please?"
There was no way I could say no to him after that, so I just sucked it up and agreed. He led me outside, obviously wanting me to follow as we walked in the opposite direction of where I came from, and after about fifteen minutes of walking, I started to see a large fountain. It was in the center of a park, and there were about four benches surrounding it.
"What's this?" I asked, not trying to sound rude.
"It's a fountain." He smiled. "My dad would take me here when I was little. See, you get a coin, like this for example." He began, pulling a penny from his pocket. "And you close your eyes, make your wish, then kiss it and throw it into the fountain."
I had to force myself to not laugh, since I would've felt terrible if I actually had bursted out into laughter.
"And." He smiled, pulling out a quarter. "The bigger the coin, the most likely the wish is to come true. Wanna give it a try?"
"Sure." I giggled, being a supportive person to his crazy story. I looked at the coin, not wanting to touch it with my lips, then closed my eyes, made a wish, then kissed it before I threw it into the fountain.
"Nice isn't it?" He asked. "What'd you wish for?"
"Well I can't tell you silly." I smiled. "Then it won't come true."
"You're right!" He gasped.
I looked at him in awe, infatuated on how he was so into such a small ritual he had formed with his father. It hurt to know that his father had left him, and that he continued little things like this, but it was also sweet. I admired that about him, even though I didn't want to.
