...17...

"I should go back," Calum says in my ear before he kisses my shoulder, squeezing me tight before he rests his lips over his kiss and takes a deep breath.

"I don't want you to go," I whine as I roll over and press my face into his warm chest.

"Only three more weeks," he rubs my back, "then I can break up with her and we can be together."

"You mean that?" I look up at him.

"I was stupid forcing you away again. I'm sorry," he whispers and kisses me, "I'm just tired of fighting this. I want you, Lotti."

"Calum," I huff with happiness, grinning wide against his lips before I kiss him again. "I love you."

"I know, I'm so sorry," he rolls on top of me and stares down at me, caressing his knuckles down my face. "I love you, too."

I smile and he beams at me before he presses his full lips to me, long and soft. He pulls away and twists his mouth up as I sigh and we get up. He redresses while I put on a pair of pajamas and then walk him to the door, his wonderful hand intertwined with mine. He pulls me to his chest and kisses my hair before I look up at him and he kisses my lips.

"Goodnight, Honey," he whispers against my mouth.

"Goodnight," I smile and he kisses me again before he opens the door.

He looks out before he steps through the threshold, pulling me with him as we slowly unlink our hands. I bite my lip as I keep my foot in the door and grab his hand, yanking him back to me. My hand grabs his neck and I push up to kiss him, making him giggle against my lips. He moans and steps to me, pressing me into the door frame as he slides his tongue into my mouth.

"Okay, I have to go," he chuckles, his breath heavy again as he gives me a gentle kiss.

"Okay," I smile at him as he smirks and steps away from me, heading down the hall.

I lean into the wall and watch him disappear around the corner, a smile permanent on my face before I hear, "Lotti?" I turn to find Miles staring at me with down turned eyes and frown on his handsome face. His eyes continue to dart between me and the corner Calum turned behind before he lifts his phone in his hand, "You weren't answering your phone. I came to check on you. Now I know why."

His hand gestures to the corner as he shakes his head, pain etching into his face and I feel my chest tighten, "Miles, please let me explain."

"I don't think that's necessary," he says, the hurt thick in his voice as he turns around.

"Wait, no, Miles, please!" I beg, my eyes filling with tears before I turn around to grab an extra key card off the table and run after him. I catch him, grabbing his shoulder as my tears run down my cheeks and turn him to me, "I'm sorry. Please, its not what you think."

"I thought you were different, Lotti," he says, catching me off guard, "But no, your just like every other tramp in the industry. Fucking anyone to get to the top." I step back at his words, hurt and offended as he continues, his face twisting up in disgust, "And I believed your lies. 'Playing FIFA', no you were just fucking your boss for benefits. Or do you fuck all of them? Is that why Ashton sticks up for you so much, he's gotta ensure his hussy is around to tend to his needs?"

I step back and sob, his cruel words like a knife to my heart before his angry eyes look me up and down with distain. He shakes his head and steps backwards, swinging his hands out; done. I wrap my arms around myself as his eyes turn down in hurt again but the look of disgust stays.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. I'm under a contract," he says coldly before turning around and walk away, leaving me crying in the hallway.
