part two : chapter nine

 

//last chapter in part two this makes me sad//

 

“did you figure it out?”

“yes!” calum groaned. “i’m not helpless, ashton. i know what i’m doing.”

“have you ordered the food yet?”
“yes i have! now leave me alone.”

ashton rolled his eyes, but left the room.

calum rocked back and forth on the balls of his feet, repeating the same phrase in his head, over and over, waiting for the doorbell to ring.

when it finally did, calum ran from the kitchen, nearly tripping over his own feet, and skidded in front of the door. he straightened his shirt and fixed his hair before opening the front door.

alex, looking as beautiful as ever, stood there, looking slightly angry, holding a bag of thai food.

“your total is $4.35.”

calum gave her a five dollar bill, then took the bag from her hands. “thanks.”

alex turned to leave by calum grabbed her wrist.

“hey, wait, please.”

she ripped her arm from his grasp. “what do you want?”

“i have something to say to you.”

“then say it.”

“mujhē māpha kara dō. maiṁ ēka gadhē hūm̐. lēkina tuma mērē sātha bāhara jānā hōgā?”

“what?”

“i said that i’m sorry and i’m asshole and asked if you would go out with me.”

alex completely disregarded his question. “what language was that?”

“um, hindi, i think? because, you know, curry is indian, and i think they speak hindi in india.”

alex stared at him, trying to determine if he was joking or not, before bursting into giggles.

“why are you laughing?” calum asked nervously. “is it something i said?”

alex stopped giggling and smiled at calum. “first of all, this is thai curry. and they speak thai in thailand. so you’re totally off with the hindi.”

calum flushed red. “oh.”

“but yes.”

“yes?”

“yes.”
