Daisy.

After kissing Calum, I realized what I was doing. I was trusting somebody again. It felt good to be with somebody again. Even if I wasn't actually with him as his girlfriend or whatever. I studied his face as we laid in his bed. He was asleep, his chest rhythmically rising and falling to the beat of his heart. He was so beautiful and I felt to nice. Why was I keeping myself from this? His eyes fluttered open and he fought me looking at him as I giggled.

"Do I have something on my face?" He rubbed his long bony fingers across his face. It only made me laugh harder. Something about being here with him was so weird to me. The feeling was so foreign.

I shook my head and he pecked my forehead, his sleepy eyes weighing him down.

"Goodnight Daisy Elise Watson." He whispered.

"Goodnight Calum Thomas Hood." I breathed into the crook of his neck.

I don't think I'd ever had a better nights sleep either.

It had been three weeks.

Three weeks of texts from Calum.

Three weeks of coffee dates.

Three weeks of awaiting late night phone calls.

And excactly three weeks since he kissed me.

I know what you're all thinking, "Well what happened at the coffee dates? Has he been acting weird around you now?" The thing is, the coffee dates were just coffee. He has been acting so distant for three weeks, also, he was a snore to text. Winter break was only a few days away. I took a year off between high school and college, so next year, I've been previously enrolled in Canisius University, majoring in art and literature. (Thanks mom.) I was going back to Minnesota the day after break, and staying until new years. Yes, sadly I was missing the times square ball drop, but I went last year and... Let's just say its more fun to text Calum then do that again.

I called Calum and told him that I was leaving on Thursday, it already being Sunday I wanted to see him one last time. He sounded upset, but said he was going to pick me up in a half hour, so, naturally, I hung up after goodbyes were given and bolted to the bathroom to fix my face. It only took about ten minutes for makeup, seeing as how I only had to do my eyebrows and mascara. I had naturally big eyes, My mom was Italian and my dads mom was Egyptian. Fun couple, yeah? I threw on a big knitted gray sweater and some light jeans, along with moccasins. I loved moccasins.  I went into Amethyst's room to grab a scarf, and my coat she borrowed yesterday. She went to breakfast with Ashton earlier and then spent the day with him. She was coming to Minnesota to spend it with my family, and she has so far packed... Get ready... Nothing. I chuckled at the sight of her empty bag beside her bed when I heard the doorbell ring. I jolted from her room to the door and waited a moment before opening it. When I finally did though, I was greeted with Calum's face. He had a small bouquet of daisies and lilac, which were my favorite, surprisingly.

"Hey Daze, I uh... Got you these." He lightly stretched out his arm and put them in my hands.

"Wow, uh, Cal, you really didn't have t-" I was soon interrupted by his lips touching mine, for the first time in almost a month. When he pulled away I felt my cheeks flame and he smiled slowly. He reached his arm and scratched the back of his neck and locked his lips before speaking.

"I won't be able to do that for awhile and I really dreaded not being able to these past few weeks." He said, looking at his shoes.

To say I was dumbstruck would be an understatement. Why was he doing this? All I wanted to know is what we were... Friends, or more?

"More." He whispered, still looking at his shoes.

I realized then I had said the last part out loud... I cursed myself for being such a klutz with words and looked him in the eyes.

"Tell me, if we're more... Why have you been being so..." I was interrupted again, this time not by his lips, but his voice.

"Look, Daisy, I know I've been being weird lately, and I'm sorry. It's just that, I think I might really really like you, and so I thought about all the ways I could screw things up, and I told myself that I couldn't do any of those things, because I care about you... And it's not that I don't want to trust you, it's that I have a hard time choosing the right people to trust. I want to trust you, and I want you to trust me... So, I hope what I just said was right, and I hope this next part is too because I've probably said it seventy times to myself in the mirror, Daisy, will y-you be my... Girlfriend?" He barely sputtered the last part out but I was sure what I was going to say next. I looked down at his hands, which had found their way to my hips, and entwined mine at the back of his neck.

"Yes." I breathed against his lips. We stood like that, my face so close to his that I could tell when his pupils changed size. Then, finally, he kissed me. This wasn't like the other kiss, the other kiss felt melancholic. This felt like getting electrocuted by thousands of little tiny eels. He swiped his tongue between my bottom lip and my teeth and soon, our mouths were basically one. He broke away only to say one word. "Jump." He instructed. I obliged as he put his hands on my bottom and carried me to the counter. He set me there and I brushed my fingers through his hair. He stopped and I scanned his face as his eyes went to my huge sweater. I took this as a hint and pulled it off and he leaned in again. His hands on my hips felt cold as they sat like that, my tank top was riding up so they were on my bare skin. He slowly moved his hands up and I noticed they were shaking.

"Calum." I interrupted.

He looked into my eyes and I bit my lip softly before I spoke again.

"I have to pee." I whispered scandalously into his ear. He erupted into a fit of laughter and then pretended to be angry with me.

"Fiiiiine, go pee instead of make out with your booooooyfriend."  He stated sarcastically.  I laughed as I made my way towards the bathroom as I thought to myself,

I love liking Calum.
