WAYWARD 2: PERVERSE (Discontinued)

twenty three

I was just about done with the dishes when I felt a light tap on my shoulder, almost startling me.

"Oh hey!" I smiled at Calum,

He gave me a small smile.

"What's wrong?" I tilted my head a little to the side and set aside the paper towel I was using to dry off the dishes.

"Uh-can we t-talk?" He asked scratching the back of his head.

"Yeah sure. We can talk now"

"I mean privately."

"We are talking privately, Calum. Its just you and me in this kitchen right now." I chuckled.

"No. I know but-"

I nodded, "I get you." I smiled before grabbing his hand and leading him upstairs in to my room.

"So. Is this okay? This is the only private place I could think off right now since its snowing badly outside we couldnt afford to go out" I say as I close the door behind me.

"This is okay." He answered as he settles himself on my bed.

I drag my chair from the study table to seat just across him. "So, what are you-"

"What's up with you and Luke?" He cuts me off, "Are you guys like, back together?" He furrowed his brows.

I pressed my lips together in a tight line. Not knowing what to say.

"I wouldn't be mad if you just be honest-" He looks away.

"I uh-" I stuttered.

"I just want to know." He sighed,

"Calum. I'm sorry. I never thought that Luke and I will sort everything out this fast." I was honest. But, to be honest I don't even know how we ended up like this, (seriously I really don't).

"Its okay. I just wanted to know so that I could know when I would stop hoping and waiting for you." He muttered and I felt my heart being stung over and over again. I know I should not be hurt because I was never supposed to be the girl for Calum. I never was. I should be happy that I even met someone like him. I'm lucky.

"Cal, I don't know what to say. It just happened too fast. And since were being honest, I just don't know how I could live without him. When you first met me you already know that I love him..I just..I don't want you to feel the I used you in any way because I didnt. I swear I didn't."

"Phoebe, its okay. Don't feel burdened because of me..because of you. No matter what happens I'm always here for you. I just wanted to make it clear. I just don't want us to get on the wrong foot." He smiles.

Before I could say a word the knob on my door started to move like someone was trying to barge in.

I stood up to open the door only to find a fuminh Luke Hemmings standing on my door way.

"What the fuck are you two doing here?" He started.

"Look, man. Chill. We weren't doing anything." Calum raised both of his hands in the air in defense, "I was just...I'm just about to go-" He stood up.

"What were the both of you talking about!?" Luke asked me once Calum walk passed him.

"He just asked if we...some things" I sat back on the chair.

Luke closed the door behind him, "What things?!" He stood in front of me, towering me with his 10 foot height.

"Things..that him and I should only know." I muttered.

"Enough with the crap and tell me what he said!" He insisted his voice was loud.

I laughed.

"You think this is funny?!" He turns red.

I nodded, "Seeing you jealous like this is funny, yes."

He shook his head and sat hastily beside me, "I think I'm going crazy!" He ruffled his hair in frustration. I find him adorable. "We just got back together and I see you here..in your room..with another man!"

I can't deny the butterflies fluttering inside my stomach. I hate how much I miss having a banter with Luke.

"He just asked me if we were back together. Okay?" I strut, and he stopped dead on his tracks.

"W-what did you s-say?" He looked like a puppy this time, obviously nervous about what I was going to say.

"I told him that-"

"What did you tell him!?" Luke almost shouted,

I groaned, "Luke, how can I tell you if you keep on interrupting me!" I whined.

He cleared his throat, "Continue-"

"I told him that we are and so he told me that him and I could still be friends." I finished.

He looked reliefed with what I just said. His face lit up and he chewed the insides of his cheek.

"What?" I asked as he leans forward, he was thugging his looting with his front teeth.

"I don't know..I just like the sound of...the sound of us being, you know? Back together." He admitted and I smiled.

"But I swear Luke, what happened before about Amber and-"

He cuts me off by placing his index finger on my lips, "Shh, babe let's not talk about that anymore. Just...forget about it. I already forgave you and were okay now." He assured.

I just nodded not knowing what else to say. I hate bringing up the past. I decided to just shut my mouth about it.

"We should probably get back down. They might wonder where we are and what were doing" I exclaimed nervously.

"Let's stay here for awhile" He grabs my hand making me sit back down as he licks his lips.
