"It's Not Love If It Hurts" //5sos

/23/

  Change was in the air, and Annie was ready for it. She kissed Calum, straddling his lap and grinding against him as the kiss got deeper and more heated. When they pulled away, it was only to catch their breaths. Annie smiled a proud smirk, like she just won a competition, while Calum looked like he just won the grand prize.

  "You don't know how much I missed this," Calum panted, looking up at Annie as if she were the most amazing person. She wiped a tear out of the corner of her eyes, smiling and whispering.

  "I missed it too."

  And they leaned in again, and continued their kissing session.

********************************************
 
  Change was in the air, and Annie was ready for it. She slept in her bed that night- the first time she had ever slept in that bed. She had been afraid of it before, as if just sitting on it would cause it to all happen over again, but now she was prepared. She knew she could do it- and she did.
 
  Waking up with a smile, Annie realized it was one of the best nights sleep she'd had in months.

  Change was in the air, and Calum was ready for it. He had work the next day, and he was practically skipping to the studio.

  "You need to be more happy Luke, I mean just look at Cal!" Ashton exclaimed as Calum skipped in, a wide grin plastered on his face.

  Michael snickered. "Someone got lucky last night."

  Calum placed a hand over Michael's face dramatically, shutting him up. "Shhhh child."

  All the boys were tuned in now, and even Luke seemed to have forgotten his mood. "Yeah? What happened?"

  Calum twirled around and sat on his stool grinning at the floor, his legs hooked on either sides of the seat. "Good things man, all good things."

  Ashton bellowed with laughter, and the room was filled with laughter and conversation. Calum was the center of it all- more alive than he had been for months.

********************************************

  Change was in the air, and Calum and Annie were ready for it.

  They took a walk later that day, Annie breathing the air as if it was refreshing instead of surpressing, both with goofy grins on their faces. They held hands the entire time, neither even considering the idea of letting one another. They never wanted to let go.

  When they got back to their home, Annie helped Calum bake cookies. They were a giggling mess- booping each other on the noses with batter and kissing it off, giggling and poking each other and barely getting the cookies in the oven. Then, then... then Calum scooped Annie up and brought her to the living room. They brought out their blankets and pillows from their rooms, and made a blanket fort- canopy and all.

  "I should have ordered the pizza earlier," Calum smiles down at Annie from where she sat on his lap. "It'll take a while for them to get here."

  "Oh really?" Annie smirked, delicatly biting a piece off of a cookie. "It seems like we'll need to find some way to pass the time." And then they were kissing away, and it got more heated like it always does, and they ended up on the carpet, rolling as if they'd gone mad. Finally, Calum was on top and he pulled away, his legs straddling Annie's pelvis.

  He held a finger to his lips as he pulled out his phone, quickly dialing the number and ordering the pizza, Annie starring up at him with a smirk the entire time. He hung up the phone and leant down so he was propped up on his elbows.

  "Why hello there."

  "Hello Cal."

  "What are you doing down there?"

  "I have no idea." Annie brought her legs up and hooked them over Alums shoulders, pushing him down to the ground and pinning him down instead.

  "How do we always end up here?" She mused.

  "How do we always end up here," Cal repeated dreamily.
