Spreading her wings

Sierra's POV

After Callum and I talk things out a bit we head back to the park, his little sister and Toby are in the sand pit.

They are building Sandcastles or sand dwellings as toby calls them, when I asked him why he calls them that he said that not everyone can afford to live in a castle. After another hour we decide to take the kids out for a hot chocolate, it's late October and starting to get cold.

Toby and I follow Callum to the diner I work at, my mouth-watering thinking about the double fudge brownie and hot chocolate waiting for me.

When we pull up Callum is already there, we get out the car, following him and Amelia inside the warm establishment. it's quite busy today but we find a booth in the back, I climb in, Callum asks what we'd all like, once we order he goes up to the counter.

I'm listening to the younger kids chatting about school and their teachers when I heard the door chime go, I look and cringe when I see Angela walk in with Sonja and Reece.

I watch as they look around, spying me then looking over at the front counter where Callum is.

Angela narrows her eyes at me, she walks over to Callum, I watch as she touches his arm, when he turns, she grabs his face and kisses him.

Callum pulls away, snatching her hand up and dragging her outside. I look out the window, Callum is angry he's yelling, his hands flying around like crazy.

Angela keeps trying to touch him, he takes a step back trying to get away from her, she starts stomping her foot like a petulant child, if it wasn't such a pathetic scene, I'd find it funny.

I look up and see Sonja standing there " you know they will never be done right? This is what they do, they break up for a bit, you'll see it never lasts long, by the end of the week the golden couple will be back together ".

She looks at me with false concern," take my advice, don't try to come between them, it won't end well for you,". With that she turns and walks back to her table.

I look at the two kids staring at me," are you okay?" Amelia asks me, " she was really mean". I put a smile on my face " yes I'm fine thank you for asking sweety" I say.

Suddenly I hear a scream that could wake the dead, I look to see Angela storming towards me," WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?" She screams, Oooh she's real mad. I stare at her red face and her bulging eyes.

" You really think he likes you, don't you loser?", She spits at me " well let me tell you how this goes " she says " we break up, Callum blows off a little steam, he buys me expensive jewellery to win my forgiveness, we always find our way back to each other".

This bitch is certifiably insane, cuckoo, loony town. I'm just about to respond when Callum runs over to us, he shoots me a look mouthing he's sorry.

He grabs her arm, "what the fu- hell Angela, can't you see there's kids sitting here " he looks at my brother and his sister.

" Come on let's go, we'll grab something on the way home", he says, as we go to walk out Angela says to me " you can spread your legs as far as they go, he'll never want you ". That makes me stop " yeah well as least I know he likes me before I spread my legs, can you say the same?".

She starts screaming, we walk out to our cars, Callum's looking at me like it's the first time he's seen me, "that was fucking awesome ", he whispers. I just shrug, " well she pissed me off " I say.

He laughs and we head off to find something to eat, I never did get my brownie.

Later that night, when everyone is sleeping, I lay in my bed thinking about the day I spent with Callum, I sigh, he's such a great guy he is kind, funny, ridiculously handsome, it makes me sad to think about all the people who have taken advantage of him.

My thoughts turn sour when I think of Angela, like what the fuck is her problem. I have heard whispers that she cheats on Callum, that's usually why they break up.

I look at the time it's 11:34pm, ugh I've got school tomorrow, I need my sleep. I snuggle into my bed when my phone pings, curious I look at it, hmm unknown number. My curiosity gets the better of me.

UNKNOWN NUMBER: hello are you still awake?

ME: Umm who is this?

UNKNOWN NUMBER: take one guess!

ME: Santa Claus lol.

UNKNOWN NUMBER: well I do have a big, fat d...

ME: Callum???

Callum: how did you guess tesoro?

ME: because you're the only one I know with an ego as big as his ......

Callum: cock?

ME: right, I'm going now.

Next thing I know my phone rings, I smile when I see it's Callum " hello Mr ego", I say.

"Hello Tesoro, how are you?

" I'm doing okay, you ?"

" I'm lying in my big, lonely bed, how do you think I am " he laughs.

"Well, I'm sure you could find a number of girls to fill that space" I quip.

" Nah, there's only one girl I want with me and you're not here!!!!". I go silent, omg did he just say, OMG!

"Sierra you there?", I'm too scared to talk right now, my heart is thudding like crazy, I'm sure he can hear it.

"Tesoro, are you still there?" His voice, oh God his deep husky voice.

"Ye -ye- yes, I'm still here, sorry I thought I saw a spider " God I'm lame.

He chuckles, bringing a smile on my face. We spend the next few hours talking about everything, our favourite songs, favourite colour, just anything we could think of. I fall asleep around 1:30 am with the sound of Callum's voice in my ear.
