Emily groaned and rolled farther into Calum. The sunlight was streaming into the room.
"Cal" Emily whined a little removing her head from his neck and looking up at a sleeping Calum. Emily sighed and removed  Calum's arm from around her waist and rolled to the side of the bed. She stood up, the t shirt that she was wearing dropping to her knees as she walked over to the curtains and shut the gap. Calum sat up and propped himself up on his elbows as he squinted at the lightness in the room. He smiled a little at the sight as Emily walked back to the bed. Emily crawled back in to the bed. Calum wrapped his arms and legs tightly around her. Emily nuzzled her head into his neck and Calum could feel her light breaths on his skin causing goosebumps to raise on his skin. 
It had been like this for two days. They hardly left the house. If they did they didn't go together. Neither of them had stuff to do so they laid around cuddling or cooking or watching TV. They were learning to enjoy each other's company again. Which was scary because Calum had tour soon and that meant distance for a while. It was almost like they never had the four years apart, but they did and it was filling in the gaps. Calum still hadn't let Emily in, but Emily told Calum about her relapse with depression after her mum died. Emily always had a guard up with people, but not Calum. Calum had seen her at her worst and her best. She wasn't embarrassed in front of him. She knew she could trust him with her life. Somewhere deep down Calum knew that he could trust Emily with his, but he was more of a handle than before and before he had made her cry. 

"You know what sucks?" Calum mumbled in his husky morning voice. 

"What?" Emily questioned looking up at him, not that she could really see him but it was the thought that counts.

"You can't get room service in our house" Calum sighed making Emily chuckle and shake her head a little. 

"Laziness at it's best" Emily commented moving her arms around Calum's waist leaning into him more. Calum drew light patterns on the lower of Emily's back as she basically laid on top of him. Not that he minded. 

"We should get up" Emily stated but didn't make an effort to move because she didn't want to move. She could lay here forever and be perfectly happy. 

"We should" Calum agreed but also didn't attempt to move. They both had places to be, Emily was meeting Tommy and Calum had rehearsal. They laid in bed for a few more moments before Emily pushed herself up and off Calum. Calum watched as she pushed the covers off them and got out of bed. He could get used to waking up to her every morning. 

"C'mon" Emily yawned a little rubbing her eye. Calum groaned before he swung his legs off the bed. Calum sat on the bed and watched as Emily rummaged through her suitcase before pulling out a grey T shirt dress, and some under wear. Calum walked over to his wardrobe and got out some fresh black jeans and a drop dead T shirt. 

"We should cook tonight" Calum suggested as they got dressed, not facing each other because even though they had been cuddling and falling asleep together they hadn't kissed or had any physical activity. However, it was undeniable that the tension was building up rapidly. 

"Urm sure" Emily agreed as she started to put on her make up "Do you want me to pick up food?" 

"Yeah I don't know what time I'll be back" Calum said looking over at her. She looked at him through the mirror. 

"Okay, I'll decided on dinner then" Emily shrugged. Calum nodded before glancing around his room he frowned as he looked on all the surfaces. "Your keys are in the kitchen" Emily stated making Calum look up at her. Because how did she know that?  

"Thanks" Calum said a little baffled that she pretty much read his mind

"And your wallet is in that bowl next to the front door" Emily commented as she continued her make up.
