Then I Met You || MGC

Jemma's P.O.V.
The second I woke up, I caught Calum still next to me with his back against the bed frame checking his phone.

"Morning," he smirked seeing my eyes open

"What are you still doing here?" I yawned thinking that he would've already went back to his flat already

"All the lads ever pack the kitchen with are cereal and beer, I was hoping you had some real food,"

"Only if you cook it," I bargained as he let out a laugh

"I expected as much," he spoke before getting out of bed and into the kitchen

Michael's P.O.V.

Did I sleep? No.

I stayed up waiting for Calum to get back so I could apologize for the words I threw at him, but now I'm not even close to doing that. I was mad before but now I'm furious because I know him and I know how he is about girls. Sure we've all matured through the years in the industry and have learned when to turn down groupies and when not to, but Jemma isn't supposed to be just another one of them. She was something else to me and Calum knows that, but he's still after her and its 10 in the morning and he's still not fucking back.

"You're going to look like a fucking psycho if you break her door down," Luke commented noticing my pacing throughout our flat

"Better to break the door than Calum's face," I said

"The second you break it down, you'll break his face in anyways," Ashton said

"So what? He deserves it," I argued

"You don't know what they're doing in there, Mike, they might not even be in her flat right now," Luke reasoned

"Sure, they're probably fucking at another chicks' house for a threesome," I rolled my eyes

"C'mon, even you know that Calum doesn't have that much game," Ashton groaned

"But I do know that he has her," I let out in a low breath half hoping they didn't just hear me, but Luke's facial expression proved that he did

"Don't let it get to your head, he's still one of your best mates and he knows how much you are into her, we all do," Luke explained

"You didn't hear what I said to him last night though, I basically dangled her right in front of him and now he has her," I shook my head thinking about how fucking stupid I was for saying those things

"Look just sit down for a second and calm down, Mike," Ashton said riling me up even more

ow the hell was I supposed to calm down? Calum's probably at her flat right now giving her some good morning sex while I'm literally ten feet away from the two of them. Fuck. They're doing it in the same building as me, they're doing it right across the hall. I need to get out of here.

"I'm going for a-" I was about to say opening the door before the sight in front of me made me freeze

Jemma's P.O.V.

"Thanks for the pancakes," I told Calum leading him to the front door to let him out

"Thanks for the ingredients," he replied back opening the door

"Come back anytime, Hood," I smiled as he turned around to face me, leaning against the open door frame

"And you know you can come by my place anytime too, Jem," he said

"That probably wouldn't be the best idea," I let out thinking about the whole situation with Michael

"I know he can be a douche, but he's not usually like that,"

"And what is he usually like?" I questioned letting curiosity get the best of me

Ever since I met Michael, there was just something about him that made me want to go deeper into his life, past the small talk, past the band, but his little outburst kept me from getting the chance to actually get to know him.

"He's one of the loudest people I know, but his words usually make up for it. Give him the benefit of the doubt, Jem, he's a really good guy, and he's really into you," He said whispering the last part as if the whole building could hear him as I shook my head

"Sure he does, Cal," I rolled my eyes

If he was into me then why was Calum the one leaving my flat right now instead of him?

"You don't believe me now, but you'll see it eventually. And you still owe me that kiss !" He reminded me as I sighed

"Just one kiss, and don't even think about getting handsy with me you dick," I warned him as he held his hands behind his back in an exaggerated motion and laughed

Because of his towering height, I knew that it would be a struggle to get his lips leveled with mine so I gently placed my hands on either side of his face to guide him down to me as I placed my lips on his.

"I'm going for a-" a voice startled the both of us as we looked to find its source

Michael.

"Oh hey bro," Calum waved at him as Michael stared at the both of us with an unreadable expression on his face

His eyes glared into mine for a split second until moving to Calum as I noticed his fists clenching at his sides at Calum's greeting.

"You good, Mike?" I questioned

"Just peachy," he breathed out before closing the door behind him and walking down the hall way out of sight
