"But I want to teach you how to play a guitar!" Calum said, following me into the kitchen. I rolled my eyes at him and opened the fridge. He had been begging me to let him give me a guitar lesson for weeks, but I already knew how to play the guitar. He apparently didn't know that, even though it was kind of obvious when we hung out with his friends. All they ever talked about with me was guitar stuff.
"But I don't need you to teach me to play the guitar." I told him as I took a pitcher of lemonade out of the fridge. I grabbed a glass and filled it with the yellow liquid, hoping Calum would just drop it. He didn't.
"But it would be fun!" Calum said, trying to persuade me. I just looked at him as I sipped my lemonade. Had he just come over here to convince me to let him give me a guitar lesson I didn't need?
He stepped closer to me and rolled out his lip. The puppy dog eyes came out and I tried to look away from him. "You little shit," I sighed, making him grin, "fine. One lesson." It was completely uncalled for, but I didn't say anything else as he took my hand and drug me into the living room.
He sat me down on the couch and turned the tv off before he grabbed his acoustic guitar and handed it to me. I held it in my lap and strummed the strings, checking the tune out of habit.
"Okay so, first thing is knowing what everything does...." Calum began to explain everything guitar related and I pretended to pay attention until he started moving my fingers against the strings. "This is an F major chord. Strum." I sighed and readjusted my fingers casually so I could actually play with without making the strings sound dull. Calum grinned proudly and nodded. He put a gentle kiss on my cheek before he moved my fingers into a G major chord. I strummed again and he laughed lightly.
"That's a G." He said kissing my cheek again. "And this is a D." He said about to move my fingers again, but I did it without thinking before he could. He frowned slightly and I strummed, making the strings plunk against my fingers purposefully. "No, Babe, like this..." He adjusted my fingers and helped me strum again, this time making the D sound right. I looked at him and smiled like I had never done it before, but he wasn't buying it.
"What's next?" I asked catching his cheek with my lips quickly, trying to throw him off. He really wanted to teach me to play, and I didn't have the heart to tell him I already knew how.
"Um, well there's A...." He moved my fingers gently and I pursed my lips watching him. Maybe I could get out of the rest of this lesson with flirting. "And this finger here....now strum." I did as he said, striking each string slowly until the A chord rang out around us. I didn't take my eyes off his face as he started to show me a B chord. I hated B major. I never could get my fingers to play it correctly. When I strummed out the chord, Calum laughed and looked at me, noticing I wasn't really paying attention.
"Babe," he said giggling, "you aren't paying attention." He had that stupid cute grin on his face that made me was the kiss him, and I had been pretending to be distracted before, now I was really was.
"Sorry," I said feeling my cheeks go pink. He put another kiss on my cheek, close to the corner of my mouth and I sighed. "My teacher is being cute and it's hard to focus."
He laughed and moved my fingers into C chord. He was showing me these chords in a weirdly random order. "This is a C, and if you strum this time-"
I kissed him suddenly, surprising him and myself, and blushed a bit darker.
See we had really only been together as a couple for about two months. In that time he'd only kissed me a couple times. He was busy a lot, and when he wasn't we spent a lot of time with his friends, so there wasn't actually a lot of alone time between us.
Kissing was still a relatively knew thing for us and I had just jumped into like we'd been doing it forever.
Calum broke the kiss and he stared at me. "What's that for?" He asked smirking. I pursed my lips and looked anywhere but at him.
"You were just being really cute." I said shyly. "But um, I also already know how to play guitar." I played an E major chord, one he hadn't shown me yet, before switching to D minor and then to an A minor, trying to show him I already knew all these chords.
"Oh good," he said before he crashed his lips against mine. My stomach did a giddy backflip as he pulled his guitar out of my lap to pull me closer to him.
Well he clearly had no real intentions of teaching me to play guitar.
My hands moved over his shoulders and up into his hair. I tugged on the hair on the back of his head and he hummed against my lips. He was scary good at kissing.
He gripped onto my hips tightly, like he was afraid I would try to get away, and his fingers brushed over my skin lightly. Calum pulled back just a little bit and I hummed in slight annoyance. I moved back into him and he smirked slightly.
His hands moved up my back and he slid his fingers through my hair as he deepened his kissing. He pressed me back into the arm of the couch and moved his kisses to my jaw and neck, nipping and sucking lightly where he could.
"Cal...." I said feeling his hands move over my torso. "Cal my-"
"Shhh...." He said moving back up to my lips, making me forget entirely what I was about to tell him.
His lips were so soft and warm. I could kiss him for hours without getting bored, and that's exactly what it felt like we did. I was so lost in Calum that I completely forgot why I was stuck at home today. Or why Calum needed to come over to spend time with me.
My little brother.
"Eeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwww!" He cried, causing both me and Calum to jump away from each other. "I'm gonna tell Mom you were making out with some guy when you were supposed to be babysitting!"
"What? No!" I said loudly, "Calum is just a friend." I got up and walked over to my brother, crouching down, "Don't tell Mom and you can stay up late." He grinned and ran off quickly. I moved back to the couch and Calum laughed.
"You didn't tell me you had a brother." He said pulling me practically in his lap. "Just like you didn't tell me you played the guitar."
I laughed and kissed him lightly. "I don't play guitar. I just know how." I said rolling my eyes, "and I didn't think telling you about my brother was relevant."
"It wasn't." He agreed moving into me again. God I could let him kiss me all day.
And I nearly did, but after my brother interrupted twice more we gave up and watched a movie the rest of the evening.
