and i got you this rose (c.h)
summary: being lonely on valentine’s day sucks but maybe this is the year you finally celebrate with someone else.
saturday, february 13th, 2021
you always had a love for love. wanting to be on the receiving end of it and giving it the same to the person you would be dating. but after boys continuously toying with your emotions, you decided to stop trying and focus on your goals. one of the saddest things for you was never having a valentine.
in actuality, it shouldn’t have made you as sad because you get to save money but it made you feel lonely. often wondering if it was you that made people lead you on. maybe you were boring or simply not out there enough? whatever it was, you stopped searching for love.
“are you going to the vday party ashton is having on sunday?” kaykay asked while taking her seat across from you at the table.
“hmm maybe, it’s just gonna be super awkward knowing everyone has a date already.”
“you can always ask calum.”
you always thought calum was attractive but who wouldn’t think he’s attractive? he has a killer smile and knows how to make a person laugh. his energy is always hype and there’s never a dull moment.
“my best friend calum? kay, he doesn’t like me like that.”
“doesn’t like you? girl please, that boy is like head over heels for you. and i know you have feelings for him too!”
“we’re best friends, it’s not like that.”
the door opens and you hear the loud voices of your best friends. sometimes, you definitely regret giving them the key to your house.
“don’t you just love unannounced visits?” you playfully rolled your eyes at the boys.
“oh come on sweetheart, I know you always make an exception for me,” calum throws you a smile and pulls you into his arms.
“whatever you say cal. how are you doing though?”
“i love how they just forget they’re not alone,” luke whispered to the others making them laugh.
“what’s so funny?” calum turns towards the other still keeping one arm around your shoulders.
“just looking at how cute you guys are,” michael says.
“yeah, we are super cute. more so her,” he kisses the top of your head and let’s you go.
“anyways we came to drop cal off and i wanted to spend time with my girlfriend,” ashton says while grabbing kaykay’s hand.
“thanks for taking her away from me ashton. i love you kay, we definitely have to do this again.”
“oh yeah for sure! i love you too y/n,” she gives you a quick wink and walks out the door with everyone else.
the two of you decided to chill out for the rest of the day watching movies and eating take-out. pretty much the perfect way to spend time together.
“so cal, do you have a date for ashton’s party?” you knew asking this question could either go really well or south really quick. you secretly wanted him to say no then maybe you guys could go together.
“i’m actually planning on asking this one girl that drives me crazy in the best way,” calum smile gets brighter and yours disappears.
“i’m really nervous to ask her honestly.”
“calum, you shouldn’t be nervous. any girl would be lucky to have you as a date.”
“i hope so, i really like her.”
the silence was killing you and now all you wanted was to be alone. it kinda hurt to hear someone you like talk about someone else.
“hey calum, i’m really tired. i think you should leave.”
“are you okay?” of course, he would notice the mood dropping.
“yeah, just got a lot to do tomorrow.”
“well i’ll see you later yeah?”
“yup,” calum wraps his arms around you and hugs you tightly. once he lets go and leaves, you immediately jumped in bed wanting to forget the conversation all together.
sunday, february 14th, 2021
throughout the whole day, you ignored calum’s text messages. as selfish as it sounds, you didn’t want to know his progress with the girl. a girl he never even talked about before.
for the party, you decided to wear a light pink dress with ruffled shoulder sleeves and black converse. something simple and something you can move in. you only wanted to show up for a little and then leave so it wouldn’t be too awkward for you.
“y/n babes, you made it,” sierra grabs your arm as soon as you stepped into the kitchen.
“happy valentine’s day si!”
“happy valentine’s day right back at ya. but right now, we need to talk.”
“about what?” she gives you the look that already tells you she knows everything.
“calum said you were avoiding him.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” luke walked in at the right time for you to end the conversation.
“well this was a nice talk. bye sierra and hello luke,” you gave a quick wave and walked off.
you made rounds talking to everyone you knew still successfully avoiding calum who you haven’t even seen come to think of it. but after a while, you just wanted to be alone. seeing all the couples made you sad, so you sat in ashton’s backyard next to the sunflowers.
“I knew i could find you here,” calum walks up to you with his hand behind his back.
“don’t you have a date to entertain?”
“i didn’t ask her yet,” he sits next you on the grass and still keeping one hand behind his back.
“well, she’s kinda been avoiding me,” you look up at him to see him already looking at you.
“are you playing with me?”
“no, i really wanted to ask you to be my valentine earlier today.”
“that makes me feel like a shitty person.”
“no, it’s okay. it’s normal to be jealous,” you guys shared a laugh and you pushed his shoulder.
“so y/n, will you be my valentine?”
“yes calum i would love to be your valentine.”
he gently grabs your face with his free hand and kisses you. you couldn’t express how happy you were. calum sparked so many butterflies in your stomach.
“oh and i got you this rose,” he hands you the single rose and you smiled up at him.
“it’s beautiful, thank you calum.”
“the prettiest flower for the prettiest girl,” you blushed at his words and hugged him.
“now, my lady let’s party,” you nodded at him and grabbed his hand. this night definitely turned from really sour to being in the arms of the guy who you adored. truly a valentine’s day to remember.
