12:45 A.M

I couldn't sleep. Tugging over and over fighting a little war with my covers wasn't making this situation any better. I was wide awake and I didn't know why. No matter how hard or how many times my eyes shut they wouldn't stay.

I wanted my mind put to rest but my body wouldn't let me. I hated nights like these. Alone in my big cold lonely bed, no one around the house to come and hold me or talk to anymore. I missed that.

I missed the family dinners when dad would come home at 7 and mom had already had the table set. I would always beg her to let me cut the cake for dessert but her words were always "Baby you might cut yourself and mommy doesn't want you to get hurt" of course I was sad and upset but I got over it once her cheesy smile broke across her face.

But I'll never forget when I turned 8 she finally said yes. Her gentle hands gripped mine as she helped me cut off a tiny corner of the cake for every one of us.

I smiled at the thought... I missed her.

I noticed a few tears running away from my eyes but they soon stopped when banging was at the front door.

I instantly got up and tip toed from my room to the door. Only one person could be here at this time. In fact it would be the only person who could so I wasn't surprised when the big figure pushed past me and made his way to the couch.

I glared at him as his flopped onto the couch and grabbing the remote like this was his house.

"Uh hello?" I questioned already irritated.

He ignored me.

"Hello?!" I waved my hand in front of his view of the tv. It didn't bother him though, he just kept watching the screen.

This time I stood in front of his view so he couldn't see a thing.

I started to notice how his view changed and I followed to where his eyes were. Of course.

My boobs.

"CALUM!" I yelled covering my upper body. A tiny smirk appeared on his face. His hands gripped the sides of my body and moved me to the side.

"Why are you here. I already got my payback I thought all of this was over" or at least I hoped it was. I wanted nothing to do with him.

"I'm here because I am and who said it was over"

I blinked a few times. "What, no no no, you need to go I want peace" I moaned irritated by him and it has only been 5 minutes.

His eyes left the tv and scanned me. And for that reason I became super uncomfortable with him looking at me that way.

"What?"

Calum shook his head. "Nothing"

I dropped the subject knowing I wasn't going to get anything out of that big dumb mouth of his.

I walked over to the couch and sat furthest away from him laying my head on one of the couch pillows.

"Come on,I'm not that bad" even though I wasn't looking at him I could feel the smirk hanging on his face.

"I don't know about that one" I muttered to myself. Next thing I knew Calum was hanging on top of me, with his hands on both sides of my face.

My breathing got faster and heavier as I closed my eyes shut tight scared to see what he was going to do.

I felt his face get lower to my ear. His lips slightly brushing against my soft skin making chills go down my spine.

"Babe, you don't even know me" His lips still lingering on my skin making my chest rise up and down in a fast paste. Not to mention my breathing was really bad at this point.

"Calum, please get off" I asked nicely but he still didn't move.

"Calum" I looked up starting to hit his chest this time. "Get. Off. Of. Me" I groaned trying my hardest to not kill him.

Oh now wouldn't that be a twist.

His smirk stayed plastered on his face as he removed his body from mine sitting back in his original spot. I was so relived I was able to let out a breath I was holding in for the longest.

"Tessa"

"Mm"

"Come here"

I gave him a confused face but he patted next to him. At first I was hesitant but I slowly moved next to him.

His arm wrapped around my waist pulling me closer so that my head was laying on his chest.

"Um-" Calum put his finger on my lips not wanting me to speak any further. I didn't push it so I just stayed silent only hearing Calum's heart beat along with the small voices on the television.

He let out a small breath which for some reason had his heart beat a little faster than it was. It was such a calm sound I could probably listen to it for hours.

"This is nice"

"Yeah"

I looked up at Calum to see his eyes already focused on me. I quickly looked away, my cheeks starting to get hot. I don't know why though, it wasn't like I liked him right? No I didn't.

But for some reason I liked this. Is not talking and just enjoying the low voices of the television and the air conditioner pounding. Nothing special but it was nice. I think he felt the same.

Yeah Calum was a dick but the tiny moments that he wasn't I guess we're the best ones. Especially since he scared the daylight out of me most of the times. Don't get me wrong I'm still scared.

And an idiot.

Who lets a murder who just got out of jail, who wants revenge of her, who also is well known for bad reasons around the neighborhood hugged up next to her. Yeah there's nothing I could do about it since he was demanding but I could...

I wasn't even going to try.

I would be a dead man.

I didn't say another word and neither did Calum. We both knew this peaceful silence wouldn't last long so we stayed there. Our mouths still shut, trying not to break. This was good. But just wait a few minutes.

All of this would end.

Idk cause Calum is still a jerk but who knows what will happen.
