I rubbed my eyes feeling extremely tired, it was Friday and I just woke up from what I assumed was a really long nap. My phone buzzed as I checked what time it was, 6 pm, wow. I'm one heavy sleeper. I read the message that was from Calum, no surprise there.Come by the beach, would ya?
I shrugged it off and replied with a 'fine'. I got up from my bed while stretching my arms at the process. I went straight to the bathroom to brush my teeth. I grabbed a crop top that had the logo of Starbucks printed on it, lol at me, I wore a black skater skirt and just pare of vans. I tied my hair up into a ponytail and grabbed my phone.
im on my way u ass i was sleeping
not more than a minute of walking outside my house, my phone buzzed once more.
hahahaha,,
What was his problem?
I went straight to the beach and looked around for any signs of Calum. I saw a figure near the crashing waves, holding a guitar and knew it was my dearest best friend. I rolled my eyes and went towards him. He was wearing the NASA shirt again and his ripped jeans."What's up with you, Hood?" I asked eyeing him. He shrugged and patted a seat beside him. I saw his jaw clenched together, he was tensing up. Nervous. My heartbeat raced and I felt as nervous as he was, or more.
"Listen," he said. He started strumming his guitar and I immediately figured out the song he was about to sing, Fall, Justin's. Oh god Calum. What are you doing? I stared at him, taking in everything that's happening. Letting all the lyrics sink in, my heart beat faster every second of listening to his beautiful voice. Man, was I in heaven? Am I dead? I bit my lower lip, feeling the butterflies erupt in my stomach. I can't believe Calum could make me feel things like these. Is this what love felt like? I've never been in love before. Maybe this is what it feels like. I was beyond happy to see him like this. Damn, was my best friend sweet.
He ended his song taking a glance at me and giving me a sly smile. He put the guitar aside and dusted off his pants, sitting still.
"I mean, it's fine if you don't feel the same. I know you hate these cliché best friend moves but, yeah, I can't believe this is happening. I know these things don't work out and I don't want to ruin our friendship but I just real-" he started babbling. I leaped from my place over to him and gave him a bone crushing hug, my eyes went blurred and I was sure tears were forming, begging to stream out of my eyes. It was tears of joy and nothing more. I was really really beyond happy that this was happening.
He wrapped his arms around my waist, bringing me closer to him. "I honestly don't know how love feels like but I assume this is it" he mumbled. He bit his lip while I hugged him tighter, not knowing what else to say.
"I don't want to ruin anything, Al. I just really can't keep it anymore. You know? I really don't believe in those cliché scenes in movies but I just realized now that it really was possible..." He trailed off.
"What have I done to deserve such an amazing person like you in my life?" I told him, backing away so I can see his face and stare at his big brown eyes.
"Stop it, Al. You're making me blush like crazy" he giggled, mocking a high pitched tone of a high school girl. I can't help but let out a laugh. I was scared of what may happen, to be honest. But let's just seize the beautiful moments happening at the present time.
"I'm hungry as fuck, we should eat" he suggested, standing up as he puts his guitar back in the case. I stood up as well and dusted off my skirt. He intertwined his fingers with mine as we walked off the beach.
"The nearest place to eat is that way" I furrowed my eyebrows, motioning to the direction. I didn't want to eat anywhere fancy, the perfect date would be at McDonalds. Like seriously.
He shook his head and smiled. He led me towards a car that he opened for me, "seriously?" I gasped. He shrugged, climbing off to the passenger's seat. It totally slipped off of my mind that Calum was 17 as well. He chuckled at me and started the car.
"Mali-Koa's?" I asked him, arching an eyebrow as well. He laughed and nodded his head. His cheeks turned into a hint of red, must have been embarrassed that it was his sister's car he was using, "doesn't matter" I gave him a reassuring smile. He placed a hand on my thigh giving it a quick squeeze like he used to. I don't know but every time he does that, I get a feeling of relief and protection from everything in the world. I felt so safe and happy when I was with him. And I really do hope that that doesn't and never will change.
By time we finished eating, it was about 8 pm and I'm sure mum would be bombarding me with questions when I get home.
"I think its past your curfew, we should head home now" Calum said, running a hand through his hair to fix it. We walked back to his car, hand in hand. Butterflies still erupted every time we would touch. No one has ever made me feel this way, not even Carter.
By the end of the drive home, he walked me to the front porch steps, "so this is it?" I smiled as I recalled everything that happened today.
"This is it" he said, "goodnight, Al" he dismissed, waving a hand towards me and walking to his car after I said goodnight as well. I turned around to open the door when his voice called out for me again, "wait, Ally"
I looked back at him as he walked towards me and leaned in, "Can i?" I let a chuckle escape my lips at how adorable he was, asking permission. I nodded in response before he quickly pecked me on the lips. My stomach flipped for I don't know how many times and erupted with butterflies, I know I always say that but hell its true. My heart raced as his lips touched mine. It disappointed me to how quick it was, I didn't get much time to feel his pink and plump lips. He scurried off to his car as I was still wide eyed and sinking in what just happened, "Goodnight, Alesia!" He waved a hand through his window and drove off leaving me as I stood on my porch.
I went inside to be greeted by my loving parents grinning at me like crazy. I let out a scream, like a girl on her first date with her crush in a movie, only to be laughed at from my mum and dad as I ran up to my room, wow, this boy drives crazy as heck!
