(Friday, 12:30PM, LA)
I wrap my arms around Halsey's neck, kissing her cheek. She squeals, running round the couch to hug me properly. "Hi, Hallie." I say. She grins. Riley smiles, hugging me gently as well. "Caleb should be here any minute now. His mom is dropping him off before she heads to Russia for work. He's staying with us for a couple months." I say. Halsey grins. The door opens and Cameron, Ashlee, Ivy and Axel walk in, heading upstairs to Maxine's room. I sigh gently. Leo hugs me gently. "Don't worry, Mel. He'll be here soon."
(1:30PM)
Caleb walks into the room, smiling at everyone. I scream, running up to him and jumping into his arms. "Hey, babe!" He laughs, hugging me tightly. I kiss him roughly, my hands tangling in his hair. Caleb picks me up, carrying me to the sofa, sitting down with me on his lap. "I'm glad that you guys are staying for the Christmas holidays. It would've been so boring without you. Papa has already put up the tree in the formal living room." Riley says. We all nod at her. Halsey lies against Zack, their hands intertwined with each others. Leo has his hands wrapped around Riley's waist. I grin to myself, looking up at Caleb. He grins at me, cupping my cheek and kissing me. I lose myself in it, my hands tangling in his hair.
He pulls away, smiling at me. "I love you." He says. I grin. "I love you too, Cal." I say, kissing his nose.
