Chapter 40: Secret little lovers

We were soon all sitting on the couch eating pizza as Adelaide was playing in her play pen. It was about 7 when we all went out separate ways, other than Calum. He followed me and kept an eye on me the whole time I was left alone. I saw him watching me from behind a wall. "Calum, come here I think we need to talk a little." He walked in with his head low. I turned toward him as he sat on the couch. "Can you stay with me tonight, instead of stalking on me for the night?" He chuckled and nodded. I scooted forward, put my legs over his, and put my head on his shoulder. He rested his head on top of mine before talking. "How about instead of me staying with you, I'll switch rooms with Michael so I'm right next door instead of down here? Then if Adelaide starts to cry I can come get her so you can sleep? And if you'd like I can check up on you." He asked me kissing my forehead. "Yeah that's fine. Oh and you don't need to be my protector. I'll call if need anything okay?" We both lifted our heads and smiled at each other. "I love you." He said looking me in the eye. "I love you too, my secret little love." I said laughing. He chuckled and started to lean in, but when we were centimeters apart I stopped leaning in, "The baby is in the room Cal."   "So? She'll know what love is one day!" I felt him press his lips against mine and I melted inside. I liked it, but then I remembered I had been with his best friend before and I was his other friends sister. I pulled apart and Calum looked at me confused. I looked him in the eyes and started to sob. "I'm-so-sorry-Cal-it's just- just happening-too fast." He shushed me and hugged me tight. "It's okay I know you're not ready. I can wait as long as you've got the willpower to." He said smiling at me. I soon heard the alarm on my phone go off. I turned back to Cal, "want to help put her to bed?" His face lit up and he jumped up to grab Adelaide. "Yes yes yes yes yes!" He said running upstairs with her. I laughed and followed far behind him. When I got up there he had already changed her diaper and was putting pj's on her. I started a video and put the camera on Calum. "Calum? What are you doing to the baby?" "I'm dressing her pretty!" "Well someone's got baby fever!" "Like baby baby baby noooo!" He started to sing Baby by Justin Bieber right as the video ended and started to play. "I'm amusing!" He said laughing. "Dang I missed that!" I said laughing with him. "We didn't!" Ashton said causing me to turn around and smile. "Let me just put this on Twitter real quick..... Okay.... And done!" He said putting his arm around me. "Let's leave those two alone for a little." He said pulling me out of the room and shutting the door.

"I will always protect you princess. You can count on me forever."
