IS IT LOVE? CTH

"You taste of cherry soothers"

Two days into the tour and I was sick, typical. We had arrived in London last night and today the boys were to play at Earls Court. I was left on the tour bus in bed while the lads were having their second sound check of the day. I lay under the covers of the double bed in just my underwear and a pair of black knee socks, I suddenly started coughing so I sat up and took a sip of water. I flopped back under the covers sniffing and groaning. I reached out to claim the packet of my cough sweets, I popped one in my mouth and started sucking on it, as it soothed my aching throat. My throat was in agony me I couldn't stop spluttering every 5 seconds, the joys of being ill. I'd gone through about 3 packets of cough sweets and my tongue was constantly stained from the cherry tasting sweets and my breath smelt of the strong scent from the sweets. I was the only person left on the tour bus as the driver had gone for a lunch break leaving me in bed with a glass of water.I knew they boys would be arriving soon so I decided to find a t-shirt to put on.

I slowly sat up and pulled the covers off me, I stood up and opened the large bag which I had packed all my possessions in. I hunted for a t-shirt but I could only find warm sweatshirts. Suddenly I heard the tour bus door open and four loud voices. I froze, shit.

"Mia?" Calum had walked into the only small bedroom the bus had. I blushed and tried to find something to cover myself up with. Calum didn't look fazed at all of finding me just in my underwear he just looked concerned.

"How are you feeling?" Calum asked stepping in the bedroom and shutting the door behind him "why are you out of bed?"

"Like shit, I can't find a t-shirt to wear! All of mine must be needing cleaned and I'm too warm to wear a sweatshirt" I croaked out coughing after my sentence.

Calum walked over to a cupboard and pulled out a grey NASA t-shirt and thrown it over to me. "Wear this till you have a clean top of your own" he said.

I smiled at his choice, this must have been an old one he doesn't wear anymore. I quickly pulled it on, it fell just over my bum and rested at my thighs.

"Thanks Cal" I said relived to be covered up, I looked up at him. He stood there staring at me in a world of his own. His eyes tracing over every inch of my body, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Calum?" I said.

"Oh fuck it!" he muttered under his breath.

Before I could figure out what's going on I was being pushed up against the tour bus wall, Calum pressed against me.

"What are you doing?" I asked paralyzed with the shock from sudden movement.

Calum didn't respond instead his hands wandered up to the collar of his t-shirt that I was wearing, he roughly pulled the collar up making my heart beat faster. He paused before he quickly pulled me towards him, his lips instantly crashing against mine. I felt shivers run through my body from the realization of what is happening. I had to stop myself from sinking into the kiss so I reluctantly decided to quickly pull back from it.

"No Calum you'll get sick!" I whispered frantically scared in case any of the lads heard.

"You taste of cherry soothers" Calum stated grinning like an idiot.

I stared open mouthed, how could he be so calm about this? He tilted his head to lean in for it again, I stopped him although my instant reaction was to grab his head and attach my lips to his without a care in the world.

"Calum think logically, it's just the start of your UK tour and you don't want to call it off from being ill do you?"

I was cut off from Calum moving the collar of the t-shirt aside and trying to kiss my neck, he really didn't care did he?

"Look one... or two kisses can't hurt, can't it?" he mumbled and then softly pressed his lips against mine once again. For the cocky knob he can be sometimes he was actually a pretty good kisser, but I spoke to soon as I felt a hand move to the back of my neck entwining his fingers with the hair at the nape of it and pushing my mouth open with him. He started kissing me harder than before getting carried away, he had one hand at the small of my back and the other pushing my neck towards him. He began to pull and bite on my lower lip before covering my mouth with his again. His hands started to slowly move down my back towards my waist, before resting the palm of his hands against the side of my thighs. He started lifting the material of the t-shirt upwards as he moved to cup my bum. I pulled away from him, eyebrows raised.

"What?" he said looking like a disappointed school boy.

"Someone's a bit eager don't you think?" I sighed and laughed at him. He placed his hands on my waist still keeping me pinned against the wall.

"You have a girlfriend" I said.

"Didn't seem to stop you either love"

"Oh shut up" I said in annoyance.

Calum finally stepped back, loosening his grip on me.

"You should be in bed anyways if you're ill, get some rest darlin" he said patronizingly grinning as he said it.

I sighed frustrated at Calum, he was he so flirtatious but so annoying at the same time?

He slowly made his way to the door to let me rest.

"Sweet dreams love"
