What We Could Be // cake

Chapter 35

Calum's POV.

Luke and I decided to sleep together since we didn't for so long. Apparently, we were leaving after tomorrow. We didn't even ali yet which is a rip off considering we've only been here around a week. We had to change plans because there was a blizzard coming apparently. I lay in bed scrolling down my phone and Luke soon came back from the toilet and I set my phone down. He slips under the blanket and puts his head on my chest. I run my fingers through his hair. I am so incredibly in love with Luke, I just didn't know how to say it. We'd been dating for... a month? and we still haven't said anything.

Darkness soon overtakes me and I am only woken up by it being morning already. I sigh and look for Luke to see his head leaning on my shoulder. There is a knock at my door and my mom calls us for present opening and I look at the clock to see it 7.45am. I roll over so that I am on Luke and he groans.

"Calum, get off." He says and manages to turn around so that I am laying on his back.

"No, wanna know why?" I ask poking his dimple as he smiles.

I lean in close to his ear, nibbling it slightly to hear his breath pick up.

"It's Christmas." I whisper and Luke quickly pushes me off him which results in me falling off the bed.

"OH MY GOD, HURRY UP CALUM!" He shouts, jumping around like a kid. He quickly slips on some skinny jeans and a black t-shirt and a flannel and a beanie while I throw on skinny jeans, a black T-shirt and a leather jacket and he grabs my hand and pulls me down.

We all gather around the tree to see lots of presents. I got an iPod from Mali, a few wrist bands with band names printed out on them from mom, a joint gift which was two hundred dollars from Liz, Jack and Ben and Luke gave me a mug that said 'Puppy' on it. I knew he bought a random white mug and wrote puppy on it himself but I didn't care. I laughed at it, pretending we were just friends but I knew that Luke knew that I loved it. Instead, I gave Luke a way better present which was a guitar that had a collage of penguin stickers on it and I wrote my name all over it as well.

I know, my present was way better but... it's Luke, what can you expect?

"Okay everyone, get your thick jackets, we're going skiing!" My mom shouted excitedly clapping and we all ran into our rooms. I grabbed my stuff and went to Luke's room because I felt really lonely.

I fall back on his bed as he looks at his jacket in disgust before zipping it on.

"Aren't you going to change?" Luke asks stretching, trying to make the jacket looser.

"Yeah, in like, ten minutes." I answer rubbing my face.

"Come on Calum, I really want to go!" Luke whines.

"Go by yourself." I laugh.

"Okay." He answers slowly walking to the door.

"No! I'm sorry, come back." I say and outstretch my arms and he falls on top of me.

After a while I finally change into my clothes and we soon leave for the skiing spot. I'm actually kind of nervous, I've never gone skiing before, what if I'm bad? What if I make a stupid move which makes Luke hate me? Luke's hand moves across, he looks around, hoping nobody will notice and puts his hand on my thigh and smiles.

Mali's POV.

I smile to myself as I see Luke's hand crawl on to my brothers thigh. I knew it, they have something special. Everyone knows it. I take a picture but pretend I'm just using my phone and send it to Ben.

'I win ;)' I send.

'No, I thought we said if I lose the bet I get $20 and if I win I get $50 so bye'

'Ben...'

He leans behind and gives me $20, everyone else in the car stares in confusion as I just smirk. Jack leans back and fists his hand in front of me and we do a fist. We all knew it.
