"You know what?" Calum piped up, startling you into raising your head off his. He didn’t wait for an answer before continuing, "I’ve wasted too much time not saying anything when I all I wanted was…" His voice cracked and he shook his head at the ground.
"What? Calum what?" You stroked up his arm, relieved you could still feel him under your feathery touch.
He took a deep breath, “All I wanted was somebody who loved me back.”
Your lips parted and let out a soft gasp as he sat silently, but then looked up at you, wide-eyed, and vanished. Your voice croaked with pent up emotion, not knowing how to react to the boys outburst. Leaning back against the foot of the bed you ran your fingers through your hair and exhaled loudly.
For a few hours you heard nothing except your desperate calls to Calum echoing around the thin walls of the old house. You gave up after your voice became hoarse from shouting and your legs became weak from running up and down the many staircases that littered the creaky house.
You finally collapsed into bed and shed your clothes, too exhausted to change into pajamas, only leaving on your briefs. As you were getting comfy an instinct in the back of your brain forced you to sit up and face the door on the opposite end of the room. Sure enough, Calum was standing in front of the closed door, restlessly fidgeting.
"Calum…" You moved to get out of your bed and go to him but he faded and reappeared next to you sitting cross-legged on top of the duvet, mirroring your own stance.
You turned to face him and waited for him to say something, his mouth was opening and closing as he collected his thoughts. Obviously he gave up and you saw him searching you for any reaction to his confession earlier, or appearance now. You let your mouth curl into a small smile as he inspected you. As if it was infectious, Calum began to smile as well, his body glowing a warm colour which accentuated his tanned skin and chocolate eyes.
"Fuck it." He said and leaned towards you, crashing his cold plump pink lips to yours.
You reacted immediately, wrapping your arms around his neck, fingers gripping the short hairs at Calum’s nape. He gently moved on to his hands and knees and began to slowly push your head down on the pillows behind you. You uncurled your legs underneath him and let him have his way with you. He brought one hand to your waist, massaging your exposed skin lightly, as his other held his lean body over you. He smiled into the kiss and your teeth clacked, making you giggle as you stopped making out to look at him above you.
"Sorry, I haven’t done this in a while." He grinned back, pressing his lips to your neck now, sucking delicately to leave small purple marks down your collarbones.
"You’re doing great." You responded in gasps as he kissed over the blossoming hickeys.
"I’m glad you think so." He pecked your lips once more before sliding down your body and the bed, finally kneeling on the carpet at the end of your bed.
He curled his arms under your knees and pulled you down the duvet so his face was very close to your covered crotch. You squealed in delight at his actions, causing him to grin even more.
