im literal trash @ this
+calums pov+
the bright lights of the morning wake me from my peaceful slumber, as it pushes through my curtains and beams down on my face.
it's saturday, and i don't have to work on saturdays. i check my phone to see what time it is, seeing a notification for a text from my mum, and then two texts and a missed call from lucas.
wait, holy fuck, luke texted me! i scrambled to slide the screen and quickly typed in the passcode.
to:princess
have plans for today? wanna go out for coffee with me?
i literally full out squealed at his offer, my tummy bubbling with happiness.
the second text read,
to:princess
hey call me back when you can xx
both were sent almost an hour ago, the latter sent just 10 minutes after the first one. should i call him? would he still be up to going?
i pressed the phone beside his contact name, calling him.
he picked up first ring,
"hey, calum, what's up?" lukes soft voice spoke.
"uhm, well i actually just woke up and i saw your message, and I was wondering if you were still up for that coffee?"
"of course, i can pick you up in 20 minutes, where do you live?"
"I live on 1979 cherry oak street."
"okay see you in a few, calum."
with that he hung up, and i jumped up from the bed and rushed to the closet to find something to wear.
i pulled my closet open looking at the contents, they were all dark, dull colours, and i thought that maybe my wardrobe could use some colour. but for now i would have to settle with what was in my closet, seeing as there was barely any colour in the space.
so i decided on black skinnies, and an olive green sweater. as for my hair, it didn't want to cooperate today, so i just ran my hand through it a couple of times and left it curly. i ran to the main bathroom and quickly brushed my teeth.
i looked over at the counter, a pink tube catching my eye, mali's lipgloss. i reached for it, unscrewed the cap and spread it across my lips. it was a very light, almost nude-pink colour, and it was barely noticeable but I still thought it looked pretty, and i felt really good with it on.
after admiring my lips a while longer i went back to my room to grab my phone, and then ran downstairs to wait on the couch for luke to arrive.
about 5 minutes later there was a soft knock on my door. i dashed to the door and pulled it open excitedly, and was greeted with the smiling face of luke. he was dressed in black skinnies and a flannel, and although he went for simple just as i had, damn did he look sexy.
"are you ready to go?" luke asked.
"yeah,"
i stepped out of the door, shutting it behind me, and followed luke to his car.
we slipped inside the car, and sped off to our destination.
*****************
we are now stood in the line of a small corner coffee shop nestled in between two much larger buildings. it was quaint and cozy, the aroma of coffee and the happy chatter of different groups of people lingered in the air.
"may i take your order?" the blonde barista asked, looking directly at me while twirling her hair.
"yeah, i want a—"
i was cut off when a lukes long arm wrapped tightly around my waist, and he pulled me into his side. i looked up and he was staring straight ahead, a smug look on his face. i looked to see what he was staring at, and found the barista. she had a shocked look on her face, her mouth hung open and her eyes widened.
oh. I realized that the barista was totally flirting with me, and that luke may be just a little jealous. that made my insides all warm and fluttery, and my face turned three different shades of red before I finally ordered something.
"I'd like just a black coffee please." I tried not to make eye contact with the barista so it wouldn't be awkward.
"and I'll have the same thing. except I'll take a pastry to share with my boyfriend. thanks."
his boyfriend? that's something I could really get used to him saying.
the barista just gave us a tight lipped smile, wrote down our orders, and announced she'd be right out with the coffee.
"so boyfriend, huh? what was that for?" I asked luke.
"i didn't like the way she was looking at you, it made me all jittery and anxious and it annoyed me."
"aww we're you jealous, baby?" I was mocking him with the pet name and he just rolled his eyes and laughed.
"shut up, princess." he retaliated.
hearing him voice the pet name made me go all weak in the knees even though I wasn't standing and turned my insides to warm and fuzzy mush.
the rest of the time we talked and laughed and got to know each other better. we had a great time together. time just seemed to fly when we were together and we didn't realize just how late it was.
the ride back to my house was just us two sitting in a comfortable silence. we just enjoyed having each other presence.
we pulled into my driveway minutes later and before I could open the car door luke had somehow reached it before me and opened it.
I blushed, "thanks, luke."
he smiled at me in recognition and walked me to my door. when I reached the door I turned back to say goodbye and he had the largest grin on his face.
"what?" I say smiling back.
"nothing. just smiling at how cute you are. and how beautiful that lip gloss looks on you. and how much I wanna kiss you right now." somehow his grim seemed to get bigger and bigger with each statement, so big I thought it would touch his ears if he grinned anymore. "would that be okay with you, princess?"
i just nodded my head at a loss for words. i forgot how to speak and breathe in that moment because this totally cute guy that I'm totally into wanted to kiss me.
he stepped closer to me, pushing into my space and backing me up against the door. he trapped me in with both of his hands pinned to the door behind me. he leaned in so slow, occasionally flicking his eyes to my lips, that I thought I was going to die from the anticipation. we were so close that our noses were just barely brushing.
finally, he closed the gap between us and pushed his body into mine. he kissed me slow and gentle. he cupped my cheek with his hand and rubbed it slowly with his thumb.
it was a sweet and chaste kiss and he pulled back a few seconds later.
"I had a really good time. we should definitely do this again, princess." he grinned and gave me a wink.
"yeah, I'd like that." I smiled back at him and waved as he walked back to his car and pulled out of my driveway.
I could still feel the press of his lips against mine. and the tingling sensation it left on my lips and in my stomach and in all my limbs. that was something I was definitely doing again.
