Be Your Everything

"Good morning," Calum greets me the moment that I begin to stir in his arms. I smile against his warm skin and look up to find two sleepy brown eyes gazing at me.

"Good morning," I answer back happily. Any morning that starts with Calum is a good one. "Did you sleep well?"

"I did," he chuckles and brushes the hair that is in my eyes away from my face. "Did you?"

"Uh huh," I mumble into his chest. I don't want to get up, but I know I need to head back to mine and Luke's room to get dressed so that we can get back on the road. "I should probably go back and get ready."

"I guess you're right," Calum sighs and releases his grip on me. I sit up and begin to look around for my pajama dress, but it's impossible to find amongst all of the clothes that Calum has scattered across the floor.

"Do you see my nightie anywhere?" I lift up different shirts and black jeans, but I can't see it anywhere. Calum climbs out of the bed and joins me in my search, but he doesn't find it either.

"Here," he hands me a tee shirt from the floor, "wear this."

I take the shirt and gingerly pull it on, enjoying the feeling of the soft black fabric. It comes down to just past my butt, so Calum hands me a pair of basketball shorts to wear as well. He winks at me as I put them on, knowing that I'm relieved to be a little more covered up. As soon as I finish getting dressed, I find Calum sitting on the edge of the bed and smiling at me, but still not dressed yet.

"You don't have to be shy around me," he grins at me and holds out his arms from me to join him. His hair is sticking up in every direction, and his cheeks are flushed. I'm still not used to being so comfortable around another person, but he makes it impossible to feel awkward with him.

"I'm not," I say while fighting the urge to stare at his naked frame. Even though it's not awkward, it's hard to disregard the fact that he is completely naked right now. I walk over to him and stand between his legs, still not ready to leave him just yet. He hugs me to his chest and kisses my forehead, but I can't help but pout up at him when he pulls back.

"What's wrong?" He strokes my cheek with the pad of his thumb and frowns in confusion.

"Time to get back to reality," I muttered. Once I leave the room, who knows how long it will be before Calum and I can be together like this again?

"This is our reality," he assures me, "it's a little fucked up, but it's also kind of fun sneaking around and living on the edge, you know?"

"Yeah," I nod and lean my head into the palm of his hand, savoring our last few moments together before the charade continues.

Calum brings my face to his and kisses me on the nose before moving to my lips. He kisses me softly, holding onto each movement of our lips against one another. Even though we are just kissing, my heart flutters as if this is the most romantic thing in the world. Everything feels special when it's with Calum.

"Go on over to your room," he says with an adorable smile. "I'll meet you downstairs with the guys."

"Okay," I steal one last kiss before walking across the hall and finding the door cracked open. Luke was still not dressed either as he searched the room for something. "Whatcha looking for?"
