I watched as he picked up the plate from in front of me, standing up and walking over to the kitchen sink. He placed the plate down, running his hands down his thighs as he turned back around and moved over to me. Not a lot had been said between us this morning. I got a massive shock when I woke up with him beside me. I couldn't remember a single thing from last night- the last thing I remember is walking into a bedroom and sitting down... The rest was a blur, lost in the night. And it honestly bothered me a lot more than it should.

I looked up at Calum, nervously trailing my fingers down my arm.

"I'm gonna go for a shower." I quietly said, watching as he softly nodded, eyes looking up in to mine. I watched as he walked over to me, his broad shoulders slightly swaying with each step. I stood up, wrapping the cardigan back around myself.

He looked at me as he walked past me to the stairs. I followed behind him, feeling smaller than ever as I walked behind. He was acting quite cold this morning, which had me wondering what had happened last night. I just wanted to kiss him and hold him and have my normal happy Calum back. Instead, I was left to wonder what I had done.

I stood in the doorway, watching as Calum moved over to my bed. He glanced over his shoulder at me, eyes boring in to mine. I shifted my weight onto the other foot. He turned around to look at me.

"Are you okay?" He asked, hand running through his hair. I nervously tugged at my shirt, eyes falling down to his lips.

"Do you... Do you want to shower with me?"

Calum's eyes widened slightly as he stared at me, back straightening. His brown eyes flickered between mine, hand dropping back to his side slowly. There was a brief silence between us.

"Really..?" He asked slowly, eyes glancing down my body. I softly nodded, gesturing over my shoulder, towards the bathroom.

"Yeah. I just- I haven't seen you all week and I thought..."

"Yeah... Okay, sure." He said, giving me a soft nod. I turned around, walking over to the bathroom with Calum immediately following behind. He slowly paced my following footsteps, his hand running down his t-shirt. I pushed open the bathroom door, later hearing Calum close it behind us. He turned on the shower taps as I glanced at myself in the mirror. I wiped away the smudged mascara from under my eyes, tucking the fallen strands of hair behind my ears.

From the corner of the mirror, I saw Calum slip his shirt off, his bare chest now in perfect view. I missed his toned chest pressed up against mine, as he held me soundly against him. I wanted to feel him again. I missed him so much.

I followed his actions, slipping off my pyjama pants, my undies following them. The long cardigan I was wearing, alongside my over sized shirt, hid everything. Calum slipped off his pants, before reaching over and feeling the temperature of the water. He glanced over at me, watching as I slipped my cardigan off, moving the clothes over to the side.

I then moved my arms through the top, grabbing the hem and taking it off. I stood completely naked in front of the mirror, my hair tied up in a ponytail. I reached up, untying it. My long hair fell down my back, resting over my shoulders.

Calum looked at me, eyes running down my body as I slightly turned around, stepping into the shower. His eyes never left me, even when he bent down to slip off his jocks and move over to the shower block. He moved in beside me, hand grazing my hip as he shut the door.
