Mine (HOOD) [COMPLETED]

47; Tolerance

a/n: This is an another chapter of non-POV cause it's seems better that way where I can express both sides better, so yeah. A little reminder before we start the chapter and hope you guys have fun reading this as much as I do writing it :) 

Shay is combing her wet hair cause she just got out from the shower and she slides a clean t-shirt over her body, and then she heard her doorbell ring. 

"I'll get it!", Tommy shouted and Shay can hear his little footsteps running towards the door, and when he opens it, he has a huge grin on his face cause he has been expecting this person to come for the whole day. "Daddy!", Calum walked in and put the takeout dinner on the kitchen counter. 

"What have you been doing, buddy?", Calum asked his son and Tommy pointed to the cars that Calum once bought for him. "Ah, driving the classics", Calum winked at Tommy and as both of them sit on the couch, Tommy stands on it, trying to express something, "when I grow up like you daddy, I want to drive all of these cars!". 

"Why not, buddy! But you have to get a driver's license first when you're 16, you can't drive any car without a driver's licence", Calum told his son and Tommy said, "alright but right after I get this driver's licence, I want to drive your car!", he said and Calum scrunches his face. Calum thought of his first car back in Sydney was an old Toyota Corolla and that was his grandfather's car, he would love to let Tommy drives the Porsche one day but not right after he gets his licence. Being 16 and reckless is fun but he's not gonna put his car at risk. 

"One day buddy, but you need to be good at driving first before driving a Porsche. Like, really good. You need to practice a lot and I think....mummy's car would be perfect for your first car!", he said. 

Then Shay walks out of her bedroom, looking casual as always with tshirt and jeans. "What is this I'm hearing about giving my car to Tommy as his first car?", she sits down on the couch where Tommy is in between her and Calum. Their last conversation did not end in the best of terms, but they try not to show any signs of them having problems in front of Tommy. Calum looks at her beautiful face and perfect posture on that couch, he smiles and Shay smiles back, couldn't help herself thinking how handsome he is. 

"Yeah! Daddy said I need a lot of practice before driving his Porsche so I can practice it with your car, mummy!", Tommy said, looking at his mummy with twinkling eyes while he is talking passionately about cars. Shay widened her eyes, "oh really? Then what would I drive then if he's driving my car?"

Calum extends his hand and landed on her knee, "anything the future has got to offer, baby".

Shay blushes like a teenage girl but she thought of a comeback that would weaken his knees instead, "well, since I have a lot of practice, maybe I should drive the Porsche and you could have anything that the future has got to offer, darling". 

He throws his head back, knowing that he's in a tight spot here. He loves Shay but he adores his car too, he never lets anyone driven his car before. He glares at Shay for saying so and Shay teases back with a glare as well. Calum took off his jacket, "fine, you could drive my car. With me in it". 

"Really? You have to protect the car from me, Cal?", she laughs and Calum told her, "the car has mad horse power, Shay". Shay rolls her eyes, knowing how much Calum adores his car, his response is sort of obvious. 

"Instead, I need to protect from you the car", Calum said and that took Shay by surprise cause that wasn't expected. "Very smooth, rockstar", Shay points out and he replied, "only to you, baby". They sit there in that moment and looking into each other's eyes . They know that they have unresolved issues to talk about but whenever they have to cover it up, and be on good terms in front of Tommy, it never seems to get awkward or accidentally said something to heat up the situation but instead, they act all loving and teasing each other. Neither knows whether all of that was just an act or real, but neither too, would want to complicate the situation even more by guessing and play blame.
