The feeling of waking up in the morning is not something I like, specially when it's Saturday. I hug my pillow tightly noticing that it is a little hard and take a deep breath. The scent puts me in a trance. That's not my pillow. My eye lids feel heavy, but I still open my eyes to look at my pillow. His bare chest goes up and down. I forgot I texted him yesterday night to come sleep with me because "I felt cold". I just needed his warm embrace. I don't even remember when he got into my room. I caress his naked chest as I look at the tattoos placed under his collar bone. 2012. I know why he got that year tattooed, his band started to get big that year. His other tattoos are quite interesting too. A feather on his other collarbone, a native, a bird with Mali's name underneath, and I i love that he got both his parents initials on his hands. Some of them I can't see them right now, like the initials, the horse shoe, and the word "skywards" which I don't know why he did that one. I look at his Adam's apple and feel the temptation to touch it, but instead I decide not to; I don't want to wake him up. After a couple of minutes I change my gaze over to his face, and I'm surprised to see him awake. How long has he been awake? Did he see the way I was looking at him? OMG! I feel so bad! Wait... Why? We are on a relationship. I bet he checks me out too.

His chocolate brown eyes stare into my green ones and I see that beautiful smile appear on his soft lips. I smile back, not knowing what to say or do. The silence disappears as we hear a knock on my door.

"Wake up honey! We're leaving early today..." Mom yells lightly with a sweet tone from the other side of the door. Damn it mom you ruined the moment.

I just groan at the idea of getting out of bed. I just woke up and I don't want to get up, specially when Calum's arms are wrapped around my torso.

I look back at the face I stopped looking at since I faced the door. He's still looking at me. His smile never fails to make me blush. How can he do that? It feels like if this is the first time I see him smile.

"What you thinking about?" He says breaking the silence and startling me off my thoughts.

"Nothing..." I say with a childish voice as I look back at his naked chest.

"Rox..." He says as he puts his left hand on my chin to tilt my head up so that I can look at his eyes.

*sight* "You." I say as I smile lightly.

His smile turns to a smirk. He looks so hot! But he needs to stop. I know he's thinking something I'm not.

"Don't you dare say anything!" I say as I point my finger on his chest.

Instead of taking me serious he just chuckles. He's so cute! But I can't let him win this time.

I try to get out of bed, but his arms are glued to my back. He hugs me tighter and I can't help but squeal. He chuckles again and I respond winning.

"Let me go Cal!" I say trying to escape his arms.

"I don't think so..." He says tickling my sides.

"S-st-stop!!" I say as I die of laughter.

"Only if you promise to stay in bed a little longer..." He says as he stops tickling me just so that I can answer.

"Okay!" I scream as I breath quickly.

He turns me around so that my face is looking at him again. I move a lot when someone tickles me. He caresses my check as I just smile at the perfect view I have in front of me. Before I can even say a word his lips crash into mine. I tense at the touch, but then relax as I feel his hand caressing my check. I somehow forgot about that. I wrap my arms around his neck and tug his hair lightly, knowing that he loves that. A smile comes out of his lips at the feeling, I knew he'd like it. We separate after what felt like minutes, but was only seconds.

"I love you" He says as he rubs his nose with mine, something I find really cute.

"I love you too" I say as I peck his lips one more time and enfold him on a tight warm hug.

Sorry it's so short. I made this chapter quiet a long time ago and I just wanted to post it, so I thought this was the perfect moment.
