Hanging Tree

Chapter 6

Calum

After practice, it was still early. So we decided to order pizza and watch movies in Ashton's place. Violet sat beside me while Luke and Michael sat together and Ashton sat alone.

When the pizza came, Luke got the door and payed for it. He sat back on the couch and we were trying to make up our mind on what movie we should watch. Michael and Ashton wanted to watch Annabelle while me and Luke wanted to watch Blended.

"Its up to you Violet. You make the choice," Michael said to her.

She thought for awhile and finally said her answer, "I'm going with Blended."

Ashton gasped and said, "You're such a meanie!"

Violet just stuck her tongue out at him. She was really cute. I'm not going to lie about that.

Throughout the whole movie, everyone kept on laughing, but I had my eyes on one person only. Violet.

She noticed me staring at her and whispered to me, "Hey. The screen is over there. Not on my face." I chuckled and said, "I know. But you're more beautiful than the screen. I'd rather watch you than to watch the movie."

She gasped and turned red. I chuckled and looked around to see if the boys saw what was happening. Thank god they didn't. This time I turned back to the television.

After the movie, I drove Michael and Violet back to our place. It was almost 12am now.

"You sure you want to drive back home now?" I asked her. Its not safe to drive home at this time. Anything could happen to her.

She bit her lip and said, "Yea I have to."

"No you don't. You could just stay here for the night."

"What would I wear?" She asked.

"Um....well you could wear some of my old shirt or something and a pair of my sweatpants."

She sighed and looked outside the window, thinking. She finally looked back at me and agreed. I smiled and brought her upstairs to my room.

I gave her a one of my old shirts and a pair of my sweatpants. "The bathroom is down the corridor on the right." She nodded and walked away. I got changed myself and waited for her to come back.

She walked in and I couldn't help the laugh that escaped my lips. "My clothes look huge on you."

She looked down at herself and frowned. I walked over to her and lifted up her chin, "Hey. You still look beautiful." This made her turn red. I smiled at myself.

"Cmon. You can sleep on the bed and I'll go sleep downstairs on the couch," I said as I started walking away.

"What? No no. You can sleep here. I can sleep on the couch. I'm the guest," she protested.

"Exactly. You're the guest. That's why you should sleep here."

She stayed silent for awhile and finally said, "Okay. Why not the both of us sleep on the bed? But we could just keep our distance."

I agreed to that and we got into bed. I rolled closer to her and wrapped my arms around her waist. "Caluuummm," she whined. I laughed and said, "Not my fault I like to cuddle."

She didn't say anything to that nor did she move. I could hear the smile plastered on her face as she said, "Goodnight Calum."

"Goodnight Violet," I whispered.
