When Two Worlds Collide: A Calum Hood Fanfic

~7~

(Calum POV)

About seven minutes later, I heard a knock at my door. I leapt up from my bed and ran to open it up. She stood there, smiling. God she was just so.... perfect. She was beautiful, smart, funny, geeky, amazing, and- ok. I snapped myself out of my own daze.

"I-uhm, hey! Come in," I say awkwardly, gesturing a hand.

"Thanks," she said walking in.

"Hope you don't mind, it's just my mate here, Luke," I said, scratching the back of my neck.

"No that's totally fine! Nice to meet you Luke," "she said offering Luke a hand.

"You too, love," he winked at her, shaking her hand. Why do I feel a pang of discomfort? Could it be- jealousy? No. Luke is always like that with girls. It's not a big deal.

I gave her a control and we started playing FIFA. After ten minutes, I regretted saying that she couldn't beat me. God, this made me love her even more.

"Yes!" she jumped up as she beat Luke and I.

"Whew, you've gotta competitive girl, Cal," Luke exclaimed. I gave him the death glare. After realizing that he just slipped, his eyes widened and he tried to change the subject quickly.

"Ok! So I gotta get going Cal, see you guys later. Bye Jen," he waved, walking out.

After Luke left, Jen and I just kept a little conversation going. We actually stopped playing FIFA and just sat on my bed and talked for about two hours.

"What's your favorite color?" I ask her.

"Maroon. Yours?" she asks back.

"Mmm, I'd have to say..... Baby blue," I reply. "I need to use the restroom first, hold on a sec."

"Ok," she nodded.

I went to the restroom and just kind of stood there looking in the mirror. I kind of had this thought process going on for about five minutes. Way too long to be "using the restroom". I walk back out to find Jen fast asleep on my bed. Ooh. Awkward situation alert. What do you do when your crush is asleep on your bed and you don't want to wake them up because you're too busy looking at them but you know you have to so the next morning they wake up they aren't in a stranger's bed? Well, I don't really know what to do. I just kind of stared at her for a bit watching her take peaceful deep breaths. Wow, I feel REALLY stalkerish right now. Ok I need to wake her up. As gently as I could, I tap Jen's shoulder. Doesn't wake up. I nudge her a bit. Still asleep. So, she's a heavy sleeper, eh? I shake her shoulder a bit and she still doesn't wake up. Umm... How do I do this? I don't want to vigorously wake her up and she does need to go back to her dorm. Well, it's late and I can't carry her back. I don't know any of her friends or how to contact any of them. Ok, well I've come to the last resort. Looks like Jen Brookwell will be spending the night in my dorm.
