Chapter 9

Calum

I heard quiet strumming from the corner of the room making me turn to my side and opened my eyes slowly.

To no surprise I saw Luke , sitting criss-cross with the guitar in his lap.

I wondered what time it was, considering the sun still wasn't out, and why he was even up?

I sat up and his head snapped up and his eyes met mine,
"Uh- did I wake you? I'm sorry, I can stop if you'd like?" He spoke quickly

I simply smiled and shook my head not wanting him to stop, it was so peaceful and beautiful.

I got off the bed and joined beside him. Just from the light of a small lamp I could still see his blush.

God I love when he blushes

He began to strum little tunes again and I just sat back and admired. The way that he wasn't playing anything in particular, simply just random melodies was amazing. For no apparent reason,  it was just something about him that always seemed to amaze me.

"Bad dreams?" I asked.

He stopped strumming and stared down for a while. "Yeah.. I guess"

I scooted closer, "what happened? If you don't mind me asking.."

"I don't know, just I don't feel good that much." He placed the guitar in front of him and held his stomach.

I pouted. "Did the pizza make you sick?"

"I think I just ate too much." He mumbled.

I nodded, he picked up the guitar again and I suddenly thought of something. "Hey, you wanna try something cool?" I asked

He whispered yes and I moved right beside him, our shoulders touching together.

"I used to do this with my sister, one of us would do the strumming while the other did the chords" I said quietly moving my fingers to form a G chord, "even though it was almost always terrible, it was fun."

He began sliding his thumb across the strings and when I felt necessary I changed the chord. We kept doing this over and over.

He yawned and I turned to look at him, "you tired?"

"Just a bit"

"Come on" I set aside the guitar and held out my hand to help him up.

"Uh- I can get back on the couch if you want, ill be fine?"

"Don't be silly." I moved to one side of the bed and patted down for him to lay.

He laid beside me and sighed happily, my stomach feeling something unfamiliar, but nice.
"Goodnight Luke" I said to him but he was already fast asleep.

I turned to my side but soon felt an arm wrap tightly around me, I tensed at first, but then found myself leaning more into it. And soon enough I was fast asleep.
