Roller-coaster ride : c.h.

Spark- Calum's P.O.V

I woke up the next morning to see Alana snuggled next to me. I smiled watching her peacefully sleep as her chest moved up and down. She was gorgeous, but she would never look at me in a romantic way, especially after what I did to her. I tried to turn over into a comfortable position, but accidentally woke her up.

"Sorry." I said loosening my grip on her.

"No, it's fine, sorry, I didn't realize I was so close to you." Alana said as she started moving out of the bed. It was so cute how when she stood up she didn't realize that her shorts were riding up even exposing her bum a little bit. She pushed on her glasses and asked, "Do you want me to make some coffee or something?"

"Uh, sure." I said stretching and crawling out of bed. Alana walked into the kitchen and started to make some coffee for the two of us. She handed me the warm cup. "Thanks." I said taking a sip.

"So what are you up to today?"

"I uh have rehearsal. What about you?"

"I'm gonna go to the foodstore, then probably drop the groceries off and then go shopping since Kayliegh is taking me out to a fancy dinner next week with her new kindled love with Ashton."

"Kayliegh and Ashton are dating?"

"Yeah,kinda." She scoffed. "They can't keep their hands off of each other."

"So they invited you out to dinner?"

"Yeah, they said I could bring a date but I doubt I'll find someone in time." Her words were like a sign sent to me. I wanted to scream it on the top of my lungs how badly I wanted to go with her. But all that came out was, "Oh, well, I better get going before I'm late."

"See ya." She said flashing me a smile.

I walked into the studio a few minutes early grabbing a seat next to Ashton and Luke. I slipped my phone out of my pocket to see that Leah, the girl who I occasionally have sex with, texted me: Hey Cal, haven't seen you in a while, text me. "Ugh." I moaned shaking my head at the message that I had just read.

"What?" Ashton asked picking his gaze up from his phone.

"Nothing just Leah being Leah."

"Leah? Like booty call Leah?"

"Yeah, she texted me and wants to hang out."

"So dude, why don't you hang out with her?" I shrugged. And Ashton and Luke exchanged a look. "I knew it."

"Knew what?" I scoffed.

"You like Alana!"

"No I don't."

"Calum, it's so obvious, you never turn down an offer from loose Leah."

"Doesn't mean I like Alana."

"You obviously do Calum."

"What are we talking about?" Michael asked entering the room taking a seat on the couch.

"Alana." Luke blurted.

"Oh the girl Calum likes."

"I do NOT like her." I moaned out of anger.

"Calum you obviously do."

"Fine, maybe I have a little crush on her but it's not like it would matter, it's not like she likes me back."

"There's a way to find out." Michael said smirking.

"What's that?" I asked confused as to what he was going to say.

"In the middle of a conversation kiss her. If she pushed you off she doesn't like you, but if she kisses you back, then she likes you."

"Oh yeah, let me just go up and kiss her." I said sarcastically. "Are you crazy?! I can't just go up and kiss her, what if she doesn't like me back and it ends up ruining our friendship."

"Dude, come on, you can tell if a girl likes you or not. Has she given you any signs that she's interested?" Ashton asked.

"Well last night I was complaining about my back and she gave me a massage, but I had to cut it short cause I ended up getting a fucking boner."

"She gave you a message and you ruined it by getting a boner? Great job Cal." Michael joked.

"Yeah, I know. I don't think it was romantic in any way either, cause this morning I guess last night we rolled into each other and she couldn't get up fast enough. Although, I did get a nice view of her ass."

"Like I said when you get back in the middle of the conversation, pull a Calum and kiss her. Just see what happens."

After writing for hours I was exhausted. I unlocked the door to the apartment where Alana was relaxing on the couch watching some TV. "Oh hey." She said showing off her cheeky smile.

"Hey." I said slightly picking up my chin.

"How was writing or recording?"

"Both. And it was good, what are you watching?" I asked grabbing a seat next to her on the couch.

"Just some lame TV show where everyone has a perfect match on the island and you have to try and pair people together."

"That sounds really... wierd..." I said laughing. "Would you ever go on a show like that?"

"No way! I'd rather die alone then go on a show like that." She stood up started walking to the fridge. She turned around and I put my arms around her. "What are you doing you wierdo?" She asked giggling. I caught her gaze and just like that I took Michael's advice and I kissed her. It was so natural kissing her. I think I caught her by surprise at first, but I couldn't tell if she was into it or not. It was all happening so quickly. Kissing Alana was amazing I never wanted this moment to end. I felt like a girl who had a crush on some celebrity. However, the thought of this few seconds of lust could ruin our whole friendship. I guess kissing Alana was worth the fear. It was worth the risk.
