Alaska's POV:

Calum turns his head towards me with a slightly surprised expression, but hands me a cigarette and lights it for me without saying anything. I didn't know that Calum was a smoker, but that's probably what he's thinking about me too right now.

"You know that smoking isn't good for you, right?" he asks without looking at me.

"You know that spending money on cigarettes is like paying to die, right?" I ask, but none of us are being serious, we're just saying the first things non-smokers say when they find out that someone smokes. After that we both fall silent. Somehow, though, it's not awkward, it's actually kind of peaceful. 

It's already beginning to get dark outside, and the weather is so cold I'm sure my fingers are going to fall off by the time I've finished my cigarette. It's not snowing, fortunately, but you never know with the weather in Norway. We can literally experience all four seasons in one day. It's a h.ell of a ride. I drop the smoke to the ground and step on it with my left foot.

"Well, nice smoking with you Calum, see you later," I say as I begin to walk off.

"Thanks for the gift by the way!" he suddenly says, just loud enough for me to hear.

"No problem!" I answer equally as loud with a smile on my lips. I like it when he's actually nice. Yesterday, for instance, was a great day because he was so nice! We had a lot of fun, and it was so hilarious to see him face-plant in the snow! It was a little bit cute too, if I'm being completely honest.

"You really need to stop smoking you know," a voice says as I enter my house, causing me to snap out of my thoughts and jump with fright. 

"Ashton, you piece of s.hit! Don't ever scare me like that again!" I say as I put my hand on my chest.

"I didn't mean to scare you," he chuckles and shrugs lightly.

"Are you alright?" he adds. I just nod and take my shoes and jacket off.

"Good, back to the smoking. You seriously need to stop," he says and I roll my eyes.

"I'm getting so tired of hearing about how I need to stop smoking," I sigh and rub my temples as I sit down on the couch.

"Then why don't you stop?"

"It's not that easy Ashton!"

"I know, but you're not even trying!" he says, rising his voice a bit.

"What the f.uck do you know about that?" I ask angrily with furrowed brows and look at him.

"It's obvious!" he replies, emphasizing both words.

"I don't need this right now," I mutter angrily while shaking my head and standing up.

"You can't just walk away every time someone brings it up!" he yells.

"Oh no? Watch me!" I answer as I put on my shoes and storm out. He's so annoying sometimes! Where am I supposed to go now?! Luke and Michael are both out, and I'm mad at Ashton, so which other options do I have? 

Before I can even register what on earth I'm doing, Calum opens the door. S.hit, I already regret coming here. Why did I ring the stupid bell?!

"Uhm, hey?" he says, more like a question, looking at me with confusion written all over him.

"Hey," I say and scratch the back of my neck.

"Ashton just really pissed me off and I needed a place to go, so I was wondering if you want to watch a movie or something," I add with a nervous smile. He looks at me, looks to his right, then looks at me again.

"Sure," he answers after hesitating for a couple of seconds. He moves to the side so I can come in and closes the door after me.

"We can sit in my room, but it's pretty small and we'll have to watch the movie on my computer," he says and scratches the back of his neck as I did only seconds ago. I look to my side and see Carol sleeping on the grey couch in the living room. 

"I usually watch movies on my computer, so it's okay," I laugh and nod. He leads the way into his room and we sit down on the bed. After arguing about what movie we should watch for a while, we settle down with a scary one. I hate scary movies, but I also hate admitting that I hate them, so I just shut up. I always end up in someone's arms when I watch scary movies, no matter who it is that I'm watching the movie with. H.ell, sometimes I even end up in the arms of someone that I'm not watching the movie with!

I sigh quietly as I sit back on the bed and lean my back on the blue wall behind me. Calum starts the movie before he sits back too.

All I can think is just: "I hope this movie isn't too scary," but I quickly find out that it is when a ghost pops up on the screen and I nearly jump up on Calum's lap. I let out a loud shriek as I quickly turn to the side, huddle up next to him, and shut my eyes. I hold on to his black t-shirt, and subconsciously inhale his scent. He smells like cigarettes mostly, but there's also a hint of cologne there. The combination smells surprisingly good, believe it or not.

"Are you okay Alaska?" he chuckles and I shake my head lightly.

"Come here," he says and helps me sit up before he puts his arm around me and pulls me close to his side. What is he doing? I'm enjoying it though, so I'm not complaining. I use the opportunity to put my arms around him and rest my head on the side of his chest.

The movie makes me jump several times, and by the time it's done, I feel as if I'll get a good night of sleep again.

"That was fun," Calum smirks when the movie is over.

"No, that was terrible," I correct him.

"I'm never going to sleep again," I complain with a frown, but I know I'm over exaggerating. I do that a lot, the boys usually just tell me to shut up when I say stuff like this. Not in a mean way, of course, but in a playful and friendly way.

"Oh, c'mon, it wasn't that bad!" he chuckles and rolls his eyes playfully.

"Yes, it was!" I say and look up at him with my brows raised.

"No," he chuckles and shakes his head, and I notice how his face slowly gets closer to mine.

"Yes," I say again, lower this time, our faces somehow only inches away from each other now.

"No," he mutters quietly as he leans in closer and looks down at my lips. I don't even get the time to say yes before our lips are touching and thousands of butterflies erupt in my stomach, but I know right away that it's wrong. I shouldn't be kissing Calum, and yet, here I am. Kissing him, and enjoying it.

I know this is late af and I know that it's very boring, but I promise that I'll update again on Friday, okay?

What do you think about them kissing?

What are your thoughts on the chapter?
