"Madelyn are you ready?" Calum said and peaked his head through my door.

"I could've been naked you know." I said as I got all of my stuff together.

"First of all, I've seen you naked and second of all I know you're not naked because you showered like 45 minutes ago and you get dressed first." He said matter of factly.

"Say it a little louder why don't you." I said with a sigh.

"No ones even here. Michael's sleeping as always, Luke's downstairs eating, and Ashton's already at work. Don't be over dramatic." He said as I zipped my bag and grabbed my phone and my wallet.

"Don't call me over dramatic." I said and started walking towards my door so we could leave but he wouldn't move out of the way.

"Don't be over dramatic and I won't have to." He said with a smug smile and opened the door wider so we both could walk through it and downstairs.

"You're unbearable." I muttered as he followed me down the stairs.

"You weren't saying that yesterday, or Friday. Actually you weren't saying anything really." He said smugly.

"That doesn't mean I'm not thinking it." I said and he pressed his lips together to hide his smirk. I don't why because he never tried to hide it but whatever.

"You think too much." He said and grabbed a granola bar from the pantry.

"You don't think enough, which explains a lot about you." I said and grabbed my water bottle from the fridge.

"I think enough, you think too much. If you think too much it can destroy you." He said and leaned his back against the counter.

"You act like there's much I can do about it." I said and leaned against the fridge so I was facing him.

"I guess you're right about that. You're too uptight and you take things too seriously. You need to chill out a bit more, loosen up a bit." He said and took a bite from him granola bar.

"And how do you suppose I do that?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Do the opposite or what your brain tells you to do when it comes to situations like ours." He said and stood up straight.

"Ahh so this was your plan. You're gonna call me over dramatic and say I think too much and then try and pretend to give me advice on it so I'd sleep with you. Yea no thanks." I said and started walking towards the front door so we could leave.

"Actually no, I do want to help make you more fun. I don't only think about sex you know." He said as he quickly followed me out of the house and towards his car.

"Seems to be a complete lie." I said and stepped in his car.

"Just because I like having sex with you doesn't mean that's all I think about when I see or talk to you." He said and started the car and pulled out of the driveway.

"The smirk on your face and the way your eyes get darker say otherwise." I said and looked out the window.

"You realize your actions and your words are telling me two different things right? It's very toxic of you Madelyn. However I'm a believer that actions speak louder than words. So I refuse to believe your words which is mostly the reason why I act the way I do with you. Because you kiss me back every time, and you don't make any effort to stop me or yourself." He said seriously and kept looking between me and the road.

"You seem to have very little to say to me whenever we have a conversation." He said after I kept looking out the window and brought my knees up to my chest.

"I don't know what you want me to say." I mumbled.

"I just want to be able to have a normal conversation with you." He said and put his hand on the gearshift in between us.

"Then maybe you should try and not talk about sex or anything of the sort. Maybe then we can have a normal conversation." I said and looked over at him.

"Well I suppose you're right. But it's very hard to have a normal conversation with you." He said and looked at me for a second.

"Why?" I asked and wrapped my arms around my legs and pulled them closer to my chest.

"It's quite hard to have a normal conversation with someone you want to have sex with whenever you see her." He said and held a smirk on his face.

"You're a pig you know that right?" I said making him chuckle a bit.

"I didn't know you liked sleeping with pigs Madelyn." He said making me roll my eyes and scoff.

"I didn't know pigs could drive, so I guess we both learned something new today." I said as he parked the car in the parking lot.

"You know we have 15 minutes between class." He said and put his hand on my leg.

"15 minutes of which I'll be spending in the library." I said and put his hand back on the gearshift.

"Orrr you could be spending them with me in the bathroom, or maybe my car." He said and put his hand higher up on my leg.

"I will be in the library, without you." I said and unlocked the car and opened the door.

"We'll see about that baby." He said from the other side of the outside of the car where we were both getting our bags from the backseat.

"Don't call me 'baby' it's gross." I said and closed the door and quickly walked away and towards class.

"So how are things?" Sierra asked as I walked over to our seats.

"Things? Things are just fabulous." I said and aggressively sat down in my seat.

"What happened?" She asked with a slight chuckle.

"Well first of all Calum and I sort of had a little incident in the kitchen yesterday. Also Michael broke my car so now I have to ride to school with Calum every day for the next week or so, and all Calum wants to talk about is sex." I said and watched her face turn from amused to shocked in a second.

"What incident did you have with Calum in the kitchen?" She asked worriedly just before Calum walked in looking at me with a smirk and continued to look at me all the way to his seat which was on the other side of the room.

"Long story short I had to ask him to bring me to school which somehow ended up with him trapping me between his body and the counter and told me he was going to make out with me." I said quickly and softly so he wouldn't hear me talking about him.

"I- wow that's uh interesting. He uh, told you?" She said with a bit of confusion in her voice.

"His exact words were 'Now, I'm going to kiss you and you're going to kiss me back. Then we're going to have a heated make out session in your kitchen until Ashton texts me telling Luke or Michael are coming downstairs.'" I whispered and watched her eyes widen.

"I mean... at least he told you." She said and shrugged her shoulders.

"I can't stand him." I said and put my head in my hands.

"Aww Madelyn that's a shame." I heard him say from behind me which made me jump and turn around.

"You're just everywhere." I said and put my hand on my chest.

"Isn't that a good thing?" He asked with a smirk and leaned over the desk behind me to get closer to me.

"No, absolutely not. It is not a good thing." I said with a frustrated sigh.

"Why are you even here?" I asked since he hasn't really done anything.

"Oh I wanted to see if we were still doing that thing after class." He said with a smirk and I saw Sierra's eyes widen and her face grow more confused.

"We were never doing that no." I said firmly making him smirk even more.

"Like I said Madelyn, actions speak louder than words." He said with a smirk and got up and went back to the other side of the room where his friends were.

"I can't stand him." I repeated.
