Emily groaned as she felt wetness of her cheek. She moved further into Calum chest.

"Buzz get off" Emily whined trying to push the small dog out of her face. Calum opened his eyes at her sounds and movement.

"Buzz are you kissing my girlfriend?" Calum asked her voice raspy and deep. Emily looked up at him her chin resting on his chest. Emily felt Calum move under her as he lent out to pet Buzz. She sighed a little as she turned so her cheek was against Calum's chest and her body sideways. She watched as Calum let he puppy lick his knuckles and pet him. Once Buzz had settled on the bed, curled up against Calum's leg, Calum gave Emily a kiss on the forehead. "What time is that party you're going too?" Calum asked as his fingers stroked up and down Emily's side under her shirt, or his shirt.

"Like 2" Emily sighed a little. She Played with Calum's free hand which rested on his stomach.

"Do you have to go?" Calum asked making Emily chuckle a little.

"Yes they are my sisters, I have to turn up to their birthday party" Emily answered making Calum huff a little. They were placed into a comfortable silence and Emily re-closed her eyes hoping to get back to sleep.

"You know we should go traveling" Calum said after a few minuets. Emily opened her eyes and looked up at him.

"But your job is traveling" Emily stated frowning a little bit at him.

"Yeah but to the same places, plus we hardly see the outside world" Calum said running his fingers through Emily's hair. "Plus how cool would it be to have sex on every continent?"

"You know we only have Asia and Africa left on that right?" Emily asked chuckling a little, Calum's eyes widened a little before he smirked at her.

"Oh shit yeah" He mumbled chuckling a little.

"Anyway what would you do with Buzz?" Emily asked hoping maybe that would be enough to put Calum off the idea because she couldn't just take a year off work like him.

"Buzz has his own passport, he could totally come" Calum shrugged like taking a dog travelling around the world is no big deal.

"You got him a passport?" Emily asked "Already?"

"He came from LA I had to get him a passport" Calum answered picking up his phone from the bedside table and checking for any important messages before placing his phone back down, there was nothing that he couldn't come back to.

"Well I didn't know that" Emily said before they were put into silence. "You know I can't just drop everything and go travelling right?" Emily asked after a few moments. Calum stayed silent, because he did know that but he wanted to travel to peaceful and beautiful places, with Emily - after all she would appreciate it.

"Yeah" Calum answered quietly as Emily traced over his tattoos on his arm.

"I need to get up" Emily sighed but she snuggled further into Calum's chest. Calum chuckled but didn't mind. "No really I need to get up" Emily said pushing herself off Calum and pulling back the sheets. Calum watched her as she walked around the room, picking up pieces of her outfit. Calum propped himself up on his elbows as Buzz made his way to his lap.
"Okay do you think I should shower or can the hair last another day without a wash?" Emily asked Calum making him raise an eyebrow at her.
"When did you last wash it?" Calum asked as he petted Buzz.
"I don't know" Emily said placing her hands on her hips.
"Have a shower" Calum chuckled a little looking over at her. She smiled at him a little before nodding in agreement.

Calum was in the kitchen when Emily came in holding a towel around her wet body and her hair dripping wet down her hair. Calum looked at her as she rummaged in the freezer.
"What are you doing?" Calum asked frowning as he waited for the kettle to boil.
"Do we have ice?" Emily asked one hand in the freezer and one hand clutching on to the towel. Calum smiled at her making her stand up and look at him confused. "W-what?" Emily asked looking down at the freezer before back to Calum.
"You just asked if we have ice" Calum said making Emily open her mouth to say something before she closed it again. She bit her bottom lip as she starred at Calum. "But yeah it's in the top draw" Emily nodded before opening the top draw and taking the ice tray out. "Why do you need ice?"
"I have a pimple" Emily stated making Calum raise an eyebrow at her.
"You're going to a kids party not walking in a fashion show" Calum stated making Emily roll her eyes at him.
"Yeah but I don't want a pimple" Emily shrugged a little as she hit the tray against the side of the counter in order to get a cube out. Calum went back to making a cup of coffee as Emily placed the ice tray back into the freezer and then walked out.
Calum looked down at Buzz who was chewing on a small plastic toy, Calum wasn't really sure what it was supposed to be.
"It's just me and you today bud" Calum said to the small puppy who didn't even look up at the sound of his voice. "What should we do?" Calum asked sipping on his coffee. "We could go to the woods?"
"Are you really asking your dog what to do today?" Emily asked from the doorway, now fully clothed in a grey day dress but her hair was still damp. Calum shrugged at her not showing any shame in his conversation with Buzz. Emily laughed a little at him before opening the fridge.
"How about going to get some food?" Emily asked glancing over at Calum who screwed up his nose a little.
"But I hate food shopping" Calum whined.
"Well you won't eat if you don't go" Emily stated pulling out a yogurt and closing the fridge door. "And then you'll die"
"I can just order food"
"Then you'll get fat"
"I don't wanna go food shopping" Calum groaned sitting opposite Emily at the table.
"You have to go Calum" Emily chuckled a little "It's an adult responsibility"
"I'm not an adult" Calum stated making Emily roll her eyes at him.
"You're 22 nearly 23" Emily raised an eyebrow at him "It's just food shopping"
"But Buzz can't come with me" Calum said making Emily sigh a little at him.
"Oh no how will you cope?" Emily asked sarcasm noticeable in her voice making Calum chuckle a little.
