Chapter 15 (edited May 2021)
The sizzling of bacon filled the kitchen as Calum cooked breakfast. The shirt Ashton had lent him went low on his legs with nothing but underwear beneath. It was 12 in the afternoon, the afternoon sun beaming in from the windows. Calum wanted to do something nice for Ashton before he had to leave to check up on Luke. Michael had never called back last night but he sent a text saying that Luke was okay. It settled Calum's nerves for the time being, but he didn't want to leave Luke alone too much longer.
As Calum placed a crispy piece of bacon on a plate covered in paper towels, a pair of arms wrapped around his waist, pulling his body close. Calum smiled as he leaned his head back against Ashton's chest. The man leaned down and pressed a delicate kiss to Calum's forehead.
"Good morning," he greeted groggily, holding Calum's waist tighter. The boy transferred the last piece of bacon to the plate before turning the stove off and twisting in Ashton's grip so he was facing the man.
"Good morning to you too," Calum smiled, his hands resting between his chest and Ashton's torso. Ashton smiled, leaning down and pressing his lips against Calum's, moving them slowly and patiently as Calum kissed back.
"Do you have plans today or can I take my beautiful boyfriend out to lunch?" Ashton asked, innocently kissing Calum's jawline.
"I'd love that. I just have to go home for a bit to change and check up on Luke," Calum said. Ashton nodded, reaching behind Calum and stealing a piece of bacon.
"Okay, I'll pick you up at 2, I just have to swing by the office and do a few things. I should be heading out now but I have a very beautiful boy standing in front of me in his underwear so I'm a bit distracted," Ashton said, looking down at Calum's short, slim legs. Calum giggled, rolling his eyes as he walked up to Ashton. He leaned up and kissed the man's jaw, because that's all he could reach.
"I'm gonna go get dressed, finish your bacon and get ready for work Mr. Lawyer," Calum said, kissing Ashton's jaw again before he started walking up the stairs. Calum walked into Ashton's room and quickly slipped his skirt and top on, grabbing his heels before he walked back out of the room.
"I have to go but I'll see you in a bit," Calum said, sliding his shoes on and grabbing his purse from beside the door. He grabbed his phone off of the counter, glancing at the continuous string of messages coming in from Luke. Calum walked up to Ashton and jumped into the man's arms, smiling as the man caught him, kissing his lips softly.
"I had a really good time last night. Thank you for dinner and just, being you. You're kind of amazing if you haven't noticed, and I kind of really like you a lot,"
Calum smiled, pecking Ashton's lips again. The older man chuckled, his arms tightly wrapping around Calum's waist, holding the boy close."I kind of really like you a lot, too baby," Ashton responded with a genuine smile and a breathy laugh. Calum kissed Ashton again before wiggling down.
