Two Against One (EDITING)

(Fix a Heart)

“April….the whole point of this date was so he can remind you that the good memories will always be remembered and apparently you’re going to love our restaurant location” He tells me.

“I am?”

“He said yes so how about we go and check it out because I am starving” Letting out a laugh, I hook my arm in Callum’s as we both start to make our way down the street. I guess Cameron wants to see me like this. He wants me to be happy and safe with someone else.

***************

“Does it ring any bells then?” Callum asks as we step through the doors.

“How could I forget?” This is the exact restaurant that Cameron took me to on our first ever date. We sat in the corner and I still remember our conversation.

(Flashback)

"There is our table" He said pointing to it. I nodded my head. He pulled the chair out for me to sit on it. I sat on it as he tucked me in from behind

He went our side and sat down.

"The view is so beautiful from here" I said looking out the window.

"Yeah the view in front of me is even better" I looked at him to see him smiling at me. I looked down and felt myself going hot.

"That was so cheesy" I said finally looking up at him.

"Only for you love" He said smirking. He picked up his menu and began scanning his eyes threw it.

"So what drink do you want" He said looking up from the menu. I picked my own one up and looked through it.

"Coco cola cherry" I said smiling widely.

"You haven't even drunk it yet and you’re on a high" I gave him another huge smile which made him laugh.

(End of flashback)

“I want to sit at that table” I point at the table me and Cameron sat one which was empty. It feels like it just happened yesterday. I feel something warm and soft in my hand, looking down I see Callum had encircled his fingers around mine.

“Anything for you” We make our way over and Callum quickly goes over to pull a chai r out for me. “After you my lady” He says in a posh accent. A small giggle leaves my mouth as I sit down on the chair.

“Why thank you” I reply back. Tucking my chair in Callum goes over to his chair and sits down. He places his hand on his cheek and gazes at me.

“You’re beautiful. You do know that right?” My face suddenly goes very warm and I look away from Callum’s burning gaze. “And the fact that I can make you blush like that makes me believe in it even more”

“Callum….stop it” I tell him while avoiding all eye contact.

“April, look at me” I feel him grab my right hand from across the table and the other makes its way to my chin making me face him. His blue eyes shine brightly as a small smile erupts from him.

“I will tell you that you’re beautiful every day if I have to because it’s true. You might not realise it but I do. I know the amount of shit you’ve had to take in your life. I want to be able to fix your heart. I want to ease the pain that’s been done from the past. I want to be the one who holds your hand through every single problem, I know it’s only been weeks since we met but please give me the chance to guide you through every tear, laugh, smile, cry April. I want to be able to do that” He confesses. Is it possible to like this man even more? Oh Callum, I wish I could pour my entire heart out to you about Cameron’s whole devil thing and Bryan being a vampire but I need to be able to trust myself first.

“Callum I-“

“You don’t need to say anything April. All I need you to say is that you trust me”

“I….I trust you Callum, I really do. If I never trusted you then I would have never opened up to you” His smile widens as he cups my face in his hands.

“I really want to kiss you right now” He lets out a small laugh making me smile widely at me.

“No one’s stopping you” I tell him. He looks me dead in the eye and slowly leans forward until his lips are placed upon mine. It was a small peck but the amount of passion he held in there was enough to tell me that he really cared.

“So how about we order a drink to start off with?” Callum asks.

“That sounds great” We call the waitress over and order our drinks. Me and Callum are having a random conversation about chocolate when Callum stops talking in mid-air. It looks like he’s seen a ghost. His gaze is fixed before my head but I don’t want to look back without asking him what happened.

“Cal, what happened?” He finally focuses his eyes on me and he looks very worried.

“April, um….Bryan is behind you and from the looks of it he’s coming this way” My heart just froze in my chest after hearing those words. What the hell is Bryan doing here? This feels like déjà vu from mine and Cameron’s date. Is he here to ruin this date as well? What does he want?

“Callum, hey how’s it going?” There he is. I try my best not to look at him as Callum talks to him with a forced smile on his face. I can feel Bryan looking at me but I don’t look. I need to stay strong….for myself, for Callum and Cameron.

“April…” Why does this have to happen to me? Couldn’t he see that I didn’t want to have a conversation with him? Swallowing my saliva back I look over at him. He looks amazing. His brown hair is tousled and his eyes are shining bright in this dull room. Why, after everything that has happened he still has this effect on me? I have a boyfriend, an amazing boyfriend who cares about me.

“Bryan”

“I…..I need to talk to you about something-it’s about…..
