Reflection {Calum Hood}

Chapter 18

"Ugh, I've missed you so much." Calum said as he climbed into my bunk.

We rarely got to see each other the past couple of days because of our busy schedules. I was always out buying the boys what they needed and they were performing and rehearsing constantly. We only said goodnight to each other in the tour bus as we went to bed.

"I've missed you too." I smiled, and he began to kiss me just above my collarbone.

It felt amazing, but I had to push him away.

"Calum." I said, slightly tugging him off of me.

"What?" He asked. "You don't want to do this?"

"Oh no, I want to, trust me, but we have some things to discuss first." I stated. I was waiting for the right timing to talk to Calum about this 'Circle of Girls' thing he had going on, and I'm wondering if I'm next.

"Nah, let's discuss stuff later and just make out for now." He pleaded.

"See, That's what I'm talking about." I said.

"What?" Calum complained, letting go of me.

"Am I just another one of those girls to you?" I asked.

"What are you talking about?" Calum asked.

"Oh, Calum, babe, I know all about your little game." I scoffed.

"Oh." He said. "You do?"

"Yeah. And I'm not playing." I said, lowering the volume of my voice.

"Oh your'e not are you?" Calum asked.

"Yup. In fact, you're gonna lose." I teased him, my voice in a whisper as I spoke in his ear.

He smiled. "I'm being totally turned on right now Madeline. Shit."

"Your gonna be begging for mercy." I stated, my eyes locking with his.

"Oh I'm gonna be begging for mercy?" He questioned.

"Yup. I responded. "Your little trap isn't gonna work on me."

"How did you find out about all this?" He asked.

"Hey, I know people. And I know all about your 'Do and Dump'. Which is absolutely disgusting by the way. You could get, like, diseases." I made a grossed out face.

"Yeah, well I didn't." Calum responded. "And I know, I'm the biggest jerk in the world. I'm a rude, inconsiderate boy who used to like to do girls for fun, so sue me." Calum crossed his arms.

"Used to?" I asked.

"Well yeah Madeline. Your different.." He smiled at me.

"What? Me? Why am I the different one? What makes me so special...and different?" I asked.

"I don't know." He responded. "I just really like you in a certain way I never felt with the other girls I've been with. I thought I had this feeling with them, but I never did. I just really don't want to screw up anything else." Calum said.

"Well, you already screwed like 7 other girls so what's next?" I asked sarcastically.

Calum chuckled. "This relationship." He answered.

I gasped. "Hey!" I hit him on the chest. "Our relationship isn't screwed, it just needs a little fixing up."

He laughed. "Ok, ok, you're right." He smiled and ran his fingers through my hair, admiring my hazel eyes, and whatever features he could find on my face.

"So, am I just another one of your 'Do and Dumps'? I asked, giggling to myself because that name gets me every time.

"No. You're much more than that." Calum said.
