"this sucks, i need wifi" i groaned, "i wanna go home," i whined in my pajamas, on my parents' bed. i was complaining about how much i miss home, friends and the wifi.

"honey, we have three more days. i'm not sure if we have plans for today but you can hang out with Mali and her brother's friends.."

"mummmmmm, they're all boys" i pouted like a kid.

"c'mon don't give me these excuses that they're all guys. im sure you have a guy in your mind too." she poked my sides, making me laugh.

"that doesn't make sense," i said.

"aw, look at our daughter, blushing" my dad teased me.

"that's it you guys" i stood up and threw the pillow i was hugging to the both of them on the bed, leaving their room.

this is so boring, i just want to go home, have a good sleep in my own room, on my comfortable bed again. this place is hot as hell. who made this idea to come here? god.

i decided head down to the lake.

and of course those guys were already there. i was about to spend time by myself, by the lake peacefully, and theres Calum and his friend running around. Calum spotted me and waved, signaling me to come over.

"what the hell is going on?" i asked Calum, watching the poor Luke who got chased by Michael.

"Michael is trying to get him into the water, the water is cold. Ash is with Mali inside making tower cards."

"mmhm, what are you up to?" i asked.

"nothing, just watching them" he laughs. "maybe i should try and get you in." he says.

"what? no! don't you f-" he carries me bridal style and run towards the lake. as much as i hit him he wouldn't feel the pain because of his muscles.

"no, stop cal, my phone is in my pocket!" he stopped and puts me down, we were at the edge of the lake.

"hey, no phone remember?" he took them from my hand and gave it to Michael who's already approaching us.

i smiled as i put my arms around Calum as he put his hands on my waist, pulling me closer. he looks down at me, bitting his lip whilst looking at mine. now that i've got his attention, i leaned in slowly as i pushed him into the lake.

"not funny, Pierce" he gasped for air. "shit its cold!"

"i'm so sorry, do you need help babe?" i teased, handing out a hand for him to help him up.

"yes babe," he took my hand and pulled me into the water with him.

"i hate you,"

"-you love me"

"nope,"

"yes you doo," he mimicked my voice.

Michael came in reading my messages out aloud

"I love Calum he is so cute" michael imitates my voice.

"Calum is-"

"I did not say th-"

"say cheese the both of you" he snapped a picture which im sure it will turn out 100% ugly and calum casually posed for the picture with his arms around me whilst kissing my cheek. i must confess i really blushed.

Michael carries on taking random pictures using my phone, including himself and trees. i'm definitely going to have a hard time deleting all the pictures Michael had spammed in my gallery. Calum was still holding me, and we just stayed there for a moment until i realised it was cold and time for me to get out.

"its so cooldd" i shivered and hugged my sides. thanks to the brilliant guy who pulled me in.

"thanks for the help, babe" Cal teased me as he walked back inside the house.

"how far yet?" i asked, panting like a dog. my legs are wobbly and tired, Calum made us hike up the cliff, just the two of us. it wasn't planned either, we had nothing to do and he just came to me and ask if we could do something and he wants to hike.

"almost there."

"you said that like for the 6th time already and we're not even there!" i whined.

"almost there, i promise" he smiled sheepishly, forming dimples on both side of his cheeks.

after few minutes of walking up we're finally here.

"andddd we're here!"

"thank god," i sat on a rock, catching my breath slowly. i look at Calum who just stood there calmly. how is he not feeling tired when i feel like i was climbing the Mount Everest.

i realised it was already late in the afternoon, the sun's about to set. how time today went by so fast.

"pretty, isn't it?" he sat next to me, looking at the sky.

"it is," i said. i leaned on his shoulder, feeling exhausted eventhough i barely do anything today, but spending the day with him.

we sat in silence, no words, just enjoying the view. i like this feeling where we don't have to talk and feel awkward about it because it's not, its because it feels like we're comfortable with each other like this. and i've never felt this way with him.
