After All • Calum Hood (Sequel to ISTTY)

13

—What are you cooking? -Calum Hughes me from behind after putting Wyatt at an interactive baby chair-

—Something you like, as you can see

—Pancakes -I smile and he pressed his lips on my cheek-

—Hi, good morning lovebirds -Maddy happily said-

And I got excited again, even more. I still couldn't believe that after all this time Maddy and I are finally together. The unstoppable duo

—Good morning -Calum answer with a smile-

Today Calum was having the best mood, better than usual, I guess that's what happens when you release hormones thanks to the sex... But I'm sure this mood will fade away as soon as he sees Joseph or as soon as Joseph starts with his irony

—Can I? -Maddy asks referring to hold Wyatt-

—Of course, Maddy -Calum answer- And what about you two, anything planned for today?

Calum was happy with the fact that I finally had a friend to go out with and I could notice that

—Actually, we've got nothing planned -I turn to see Maddy- what are you up to?

—I don't know, shopping? -we both laugh- you know shopping's always a good option

—It's not a good option for my credit cards -Calum jokes, making us laugh-

—Well, that's probably what we'll end up doing -Maddy says while she's rocking Wyatt on her arms, Wyatt's looking at her with a confused look-

—I'll leave you my car so you two can be more comfortable -Calum tells us. I mouth a "thank you" and he winks at me-

—What are you up to today? -I ask my boyfriend-

—Probably nothing, at least our producer is free today. If it happens to be like that, I'll take an Uber to the studio or I'll have some of the guys to pick me up

—Good morning, family -Joseph enters the kitchen with a smile on his face- how did we sleep?

Maddy and Calum's face changed drastically. Maddy's face shown shame meanwhile Calum's face shown how annoyed he was

—Great -Calum answer and hugs me again-

I know what he was trying to do, he was trying to get Joseph jealous and I knew he'd get it. I didn't wanted to be in the middle of these two because I know how Calum can get sometimes, and I know how mean Joseph is too

—With a woman like Madeleine, who wouldn't sleep great? -Joseph laughed ironically-

—Something clearly you'll never know because Madeleine is my woman -Calum says laughing and spanks my ass-

—Quit it now -I say with a serious face, I turn to see Joseph- what are you doing today?

—I was planning on joining to your plans, girls

—I don't think so, It'll be a ladies evening -Maddy says- I think it'll be better if you go out to do tourism or something

I put the food on the plates and leave them on the table, Maddy and Joseph were sitting together while Calum and I were on front of them. As I sit, Calum's hand traveled to my thigh and started to caress it, making us glance at each other from time to time and share a complicity smile, something they wouldn't understand.

—I didn't come here to tourist, I came here to see Madeleine

Calum squeezed my thigh as soon as he heard that, his smile faded away and his eyes turned to see him

—You know what seems a bit off to me? The fact that you decided to come visit me after we lost touch because you got mad at me over the fact that I had Wyatt and moved in with Calum here in Australia

—I simply missed you, I wanted to know how you were doing

—Did my wife already told you that you couldn't stay here any longer? -Calum asked out of the blue, looking straight at Joseph-

Calum supposed it was the best he could so but it made me mad as hell. I was supposed to be the one to tell him that, besides, I would've find a nicer way to tell him unlike Calum did... The fact that he spat it out just because he had some type of competence of who makes who uncomfortable the most with Joseph it's indignant

—And who's supposed to be your wife? Because I can't see any ring on Madeleine. Besides, Mad hasn't said anything about any marriage or engagement, have you? -he turns his view to me-

—Mmm... No, not yet. But I'm afraid you can't stay here any longer

—She's not my wife yet, but she'll be, don't worry -Calum says trying to piss off Joseph-

—What do you mean that I can't stay here any longer? So, I come all the way from London to visit you and you simply kick me out of your house as if I'm some sort of trash bin? -Joseph raises his voice, almost screaming at me, leaving me there in shock for some seconds but then, I could feel my blood boil through my veins-

As soon as Calum hears Joseph's screams at me, he stands from the table and pointed at him with his index finger on a threatening way

—This better be the first and last time you raise your voice at Madeleine because if there's a next time, I'll punch your teeth out of your mouth -Calum's chest was moving up and down repeatedly fast, this whole scene made my heartbeats increase-

Wyatt started to cry over the little show. Maddy stands up to hold him, leaving us three in such a mess

—You didn't come here to visit me, Joseph. You came here trying to tear my life apart and I could notice it from the first moment -I say trying to sound as calm as possible when I was actually an angered human- so I can't allow you making these type of comments to generate troubles between my boyfriend and I. You didn't came here on peace, that's why you can't stay at my house, this is supposed to be the place where peace reigns for us and we won't let you take it away from us, you won't damage it

Joseph was looking at me perplex, like thinking: "Did you just said that?" I simply stared at him, waiting for a reaction or simply, an answer

—Bitch, stupid whore -Joseph murmured, leaving to the bedroom he shared with Maddy-

When Calum heard how he called me, he went totally out of control, his face was red, his fists clenched and he was about to storm off the place probably to beat him up, but I was able to manage calm him down a bit, asking him to stay with me, reminding him that our son was in the same house, he couldn't throw a fight

—Remember that we have our son with us, we can't expose Wyatt to situations like this, babe -he lets out a long sigh and nods, leaving to our bedroom- Calm down, cool off, Cal. -I remind him-

I look for my son with my eyes, finding him at the living room with Maddy

—I really didn't know Joseph would make all this, I am so so sorry, Mad. You have no idea -her face showed sadness-

I let out a sigh, she's not guilty of what just happened

—It's okay, Maddy, it's not your fault anyways
