IS IT LOVE? CTH

Permanent Vacation.

...You say that I'm too complicated, hung up and miseducated...

I lay peacefully with my ear phones in, lying on the sofa in the room we were still staying in. My head resting on Calum's lap as he twisted the ends of my hair between his fore finger and thumb absentmindedly. I closed my eyes and sighed blissfully and stretched my legs out, listening to Permanent Vacation for what was like the 10th time. It's their new song and I'm in love with it.

...I can't sleep because my mind keeps racing...

I felt Calum's knee fidget under me and the palms of his hands on the back of my neck gently scooping me up. I tugged my earphones out and turned to look at him, confused.

"It's alright love, I'm just going for a smoke" he smiled pulling his lighter from his pocket and collecting his cigarettes from the coffee table infront of us.

"I was comfy then" I sulked.

"Me too but I'm practically gasping" he said dramatically, before seeing my face and pulling me onto his knee surprisingly.

Although, it shouldn't surprise me anymore. Recently Cal had been acting a lot... closer? Normally, we are close but not like this, this is a different and more serious approach to our friendship. I'm used to him being flirty, rough and crude with me but now it's sudden affection? Cuddling, forehead kisses, grabbing me at random times, don't get me wrong I'm not complaining its just like he's acting more between the two of us instead of a hormonal teenage boy.

"I'll be back in a few minutes, don't look like that babe" he said pressing his forehead against mine.

I shrugged pretending to be moody, until I made eye contact with him and smirked earning a matching one from him.

"You need to quit" I sighed.

"Baby you sound like my mother" he smiled shaking his head.

"Well it's true!" I said giving him a shove.

He pouted his lips, looking ridiculous.

"What are you doing ye' daft twat?" I laughed making him open his eyes.

"Trying to give you a kiss ya idiot" he laughed back.

"Well you're not getting one" I teased.

"Oh really?" he replied his eyes darkening and glinting, a flirtatious smirk playing on his lips.

I raised an eyebrow as if to say "Go on then, I dare you"

Before I knew it he pounced, I landed flat out on the sofa my back landing on it roughly with my hands pinned above my head and Calum's body leaning dangerously over mine.

I could hear him panting and laughing as his lips almost touching mines.

"What did you say again Mia? I didn't hear you sorry love"

"Alright, alright I'll admit my defeat" I said struggling to get out of his grasp.

"It's not a defeat until I get want I intended babe" he said placing a kiss on my neck, making me wriggle more. "this is only the first step..." he whispered, tormenting me.

His lips slowly went back to my neck, he placed another soft kiss on it causing me to tilt my head back. His hands stayed on mine, still pinning them above my head.

Everything was moving too slowly, he left me in anticipation as he took his time to place his lips on my collar bone, jawline and cheek...

"Calummm" I whined.

"Sshh this is my victory and I would like to savior it thank you very much" he snapped jokingly.

"Oh shut up and get on with it so you can go for a smoke" I sighed.
