sun was shining brightly through our window, i had to squint my eyes open. it was too bright, i couldn't open both of my eyes. i rolled over to the other side and saw Mali who's sleeping peacefully. i shifted myself slowly and gently not wanting to wake her up. i went over to the balcony and did my morning stretches.

i went down to make my morning tea, when i heard noise shuffling followed by a morning yawn from Calum. he joins next to me, still haven't spoke a word and being all smiley and stuff.

"wow, somebody must have a good dream last night," i finally broke the awkward silence between us.

he hung his arm lazily on my shoulder as i took a sip of my drink.

"i had a good dream about us," i choked.

"me....you...in bed-"

"it's okay, i don't wanna hear it anyway" i got out of his arm. he's probably stoned.

"you're drinking tea? what a loser. i'm a coffee kind of person." he scoffed as he make his own coffee.

"yeah, sure whatever you say Cal." i sat down on the sofa with my legs crossed. I watched him roam around the kitchen shirtless, his tanned skin suits him. also his back muscles. i realised i was examining him for a quite while when he turned and caught me. he smirked.

"like the view?" he brought his coffee and sit next to me.

"i was looking at something else." i lied, pretending to look at somewhere else. as if i can get away with that lie.

"like i said, you're a terrible liar. don't even try, i'll find out anyway." he said.

"well, in that case, you have a nice body." i admit.

"well..you have a nice body too." he winked at me after glancing down on my body.

"you pervert." i slapped his arm.

"what? you can look at my body just now and say you're not a pervert then?"

"i was just looking, for your information."

"i saw your face Malia, you're looking at me like as if im an art piece at the museums."

"fine, i was examining you. happy?" i rolled my eyes. the fact that he always make me blurt out the truth.

we went by the lake to catch fishes, as planned by the guys. they were totally into it, Michael and Luke chasing each other with fishes in their hands, Ashton and Calum doing the fishing as well as the dad's. the girls are just chilling by the lake and talking about some girl stuffs, obviously.

without notice, we never know these guys would come to us with fishes in their hands. at the end of the day, we were all covered with smelly smells from the fishes and that made our day, i love how the activities gets fun. it creates a wonderful bond. they decided we should set a campfire by the lake again tonight.

i threw on a simple outfit for the night, some sweatpants and sweather because it gets cold at night. i run my hand down my shirt adjusting myself from the mirror before i left. i was the officially the last one to get down while everyone's all gathered up outside with the fire.

i hurried down the stairs when i clashed with Ashton.

"woah slow down there," he laughed. "you okay?" he asked me.

"yup, where are the others?" i asked.

"they're all ready, still trying to start the fire. i was coming to check if you were okay, let's go then."

Ashton leads me to the venue, where i saw everyones trying to start the fire.

"See, this is your fault Luke!" i heard shoutings from far as we get closer. i see Michael trying to put the fire on by rubbing the woods against each other quickly.

"how is it my fault? i didn't do anyrhing." Luke speaks in his seat.

"well come and help me you idiot." Michael ordered. Luke quickly got up from his seat and helps him. Ashton shook his head, "oh c'mon you guys, just let me do it. You guys don't know how to do this stuff but making a mess." he said causing all of us to laugh. Ashton lights up the match and start the fire. A sigh of relief from all of us because it was getting cold.

i joined and seat that Mali saved for me, she purposely put me in between her and Calum. i saw my parents curled up together across me. so cute.

"so does anyone have ghost stories to tell?" Joy speaks.

"i do! Me!" Luke raised his hand like a little child.

"go on,"

"well there was this one time..i was home alone sleeping in the living room, then the tv turned on by itself." Luke told.

"lame. Not even scary." Michael says.

and the whole night was full of ghost stories, and some laughters.. we did roast some marshmallow. calum held me all the time, i felt him pulling me close everytime we laughed that send me chills down my spine. brr.

i was about to head to bed when i heard a knock on the door, i opened, revealing Calum standing and looking down at his feet.

"hi" he said shyly as he stumbled on his own feet. i must admit, it was kinda cute when he gets shy.

"what do you want?" i asked, feeling sleepy.

"i just thought..that, i want a hug.."

"go hug your friends"

"for real though," he pouts, "hug?" he opened his arms, "come on, you know you want to." he said pulling me in for a hug.

i felt him squeezed me tight during the hug as he nuzzled his head on my neck. his hot breath against my neck made me hitch my breath a little. i must admit, i kinda like that feeling.

"alright, Cal, that's enou-" i tried getting out from his grip.

"Cal i can't breathe" i said when he tightened his grip on me.

"good night sexy," he finally let go of me and walked back to his room. he even turned around for a moment and give me that smirking face.
