kaeleigh-

i woke up at eleven the next morning, and once i had changed and gotten ready, sent calum a text and went to eat breakfast. i poured myself some cereal, getting halfway through the bowl before my phone started beeping like crazy.

from cal: KAE GET OVER HERE ASAP

from cal: KAE I'M SERIOUS

from cal: DUCK KAE HIRRY YP

from cal: KAELEIGH SHTI

i stood quickly, my chair scraping against the ground, and rushed to put my bowl in the sink. i grabbed my keys, running out the door and trying to lock it fast, before darting across the street to calum's house. the door was unlocked, so i threw it open, allowing it to slam behind me.

someone shrieked from upstairs, so i dashed up the steps, and entered calum's room. he was standing on his bed, just wearing his boxers, his eyes wide in fear.

"calum, what the-"

"there's a spider!" he screamed, pointing to the floor. "kill it! killitkillitkillitkillit!"

i held back a laugh, grabbing one of his shoes from the floor. i walked over, spotting a very small spider on his carpet. i rolled my eyes, slamming the shoe down. "got it."

calum let out a breath, sitting down on his bed with his knees curled into his chest. "thank you." he whispered.

i frowned, sitting next to him and wrapping my arms around his broad frame. he leaned his head on my chest, and i rested my chin on his head. "you hate spiders." i stated.

"i know, duh."

i chuckled, rubbing his back soothingly. "if you had told me there was a spider, i would have been over here faster."

"yeah right." he scoffed. "you probably took your time and locked your door and shít."

"i had to!" i defended. "i knew you weren't in too much trouble, because you texted instead of called."

"dammit." calum cursed. "next time i'll call."

"if you call, there better be a fúcking murderer in the house." i paused. "wait. don't call me if there's a murderer in the house, call the police."

"noted." he nodded. "you couldn't fend of a murderer anyway."

i gasped, "really? i could too!"

"nah," calum teased, "you aren't strong enough."

i shot my arm out, punching him on the arm. he shrieked, flinching away from me and holding his arm close to him.

i laughed, "not strong enough?"

"well of course you could punch me!" calum exclaimed, "but you couldn't win in a fight."

i raised an eyebrow, "really?"

calum nodded, and i scoffed. "okay. let's go."

he watched confusedly as i stood, "what?"

"try to beat me."

"no way."

i shrugged, jumping back on the bed, landing on top of calum and pinning him down. i grinned triumphantly, but my eyes widened when calum flipped us over, holding my arms down. i struggled to get free, but calum held me still, a grin on his face.

"i win."

"shut up," i whined. "i hate you."

"aw," he cooed, "love you too, kae."
