it wasnโt hard spending time around jennie at all. it felt natural, light-hearted and fun. he might travel the world for work, but having her in his hometown where he felt most at home and just enjoying each otherโs company? it felt like a relief that they were even able to. callum was especially appreciative that the people around his area who knew or knew of him, kept their distance despite jennie being a new face in the neighborhood.ย
he hadnโt been able to avoid noticing every little thing about her since her arrival, so when her cheeks blushed, a small smile tugged at his lips at having been able to draw out such a reaction. โi have looked in a mirror recently... it exploded,โ he put himself down knowingly and jokingly. โthe entire year?โ the man asked and he beamed a genuine smile. โiโll take that as a job well done and give myself a pat on the shoulder.โ callum immediately lifted his left hand, the one not holding hers, and patted his left shoulder, before quickly dropping it again.ย
with their fingers intertwined and slowly strolling down the street, he couldnโt avoid noticing when she froze and practically stopped in her tracks, until she melted again like a block of ice on a warm summer day. he let out a small chuckle at her words, โi am enjoying myself immensely, so you donโt have to worry about that.โ he was having a good time and wouldnโt hesitate to let her know so all throughout the day if she needed the reassurance.ย
โoh i most certainly did think that,โ he admitted honestly and with a shrug when she stopped and turned to face him, โyouโve put my doubts to rest though, since iโve had a lovely day so far.โ they stood there on the sidewalk, facing each other, his right hand in her left one as though he gravitated towards her, taking a subtle step closer. callum looked down at her face from where he stood at his six feet one, and a smirk sneaked up on his lips. โor maybe i just wanted you to stroke my over-inflated ego,โ the laugh that followed was a full one, accompanied by a mischievous smirk.ย
he didnโt want her to feel pressured to pick one option over another, and cocked his head slightly to the side as she rambled through her thoughts about what she wanted to do. โjennie... calm down,โ callum said gently and placed his free hand on her cheek, letting his thumb trace the line of her cheekbone. โi offered that you could come back to mine. i donโt say shit i donโt mean, love. you should learn that about me soon enough. so of course we can go back there.โ
the actor let his hand drop from her cheek, although heโd wanted to lean in for a kiss. maybe it was nerves that made him pull back, or maybe it was the fact that although people knew him around the area, there was always the possibility of a camera somewhere in the distance and he in no way wanted their first kiss documented and observed by a stranger. โletโs go,โ he urged her to follow along in an upbeat tone, as he begun taking steps towards the next street corner to they could head back to his place not too far away.
