After All • Calum Hood (Sequel to ISTTY)

37

We were around 2 hours on the car until we finally got to our destiny

—Do I really have to go with my jacket on my face? -I ask giggling-

—Yepp

—And what if I slip and fall?

—Madeleine, I'm almost carrying you there -he chuckles-

—Well, okay

—Look, babe -he finally let me see-

My heart drop to the floor and my feelings were shivering too, it's been a long since Calum didn't do anything like this for the both of us. And I really loved when he did

—Do you like it? -he asks expectant-

—Are you seriously asking me if I like it? -I jump to his arms pulling him into a hug- I love it! I really do!

I couldn't help but stare at what Calum made for us, it was simply incredible. We were on a beach that was in fact, almost empty... I wonder how he did all this. I was currently on cloud-9 feeling like the most loved woman on earth and Calum was looking at me with a smile on his face

—Cal, I still can't get over this -I lean up to him and start to leave kisses all over his face-

—I'm glad you like it -he caresses my cheek with his thumb-

—Can I ask why'd you do this? What's the occasion?

—It's been a while since I don't do anything like this and I don't want you to forget that I'd do anything for us, for our family. I'd do anything to keep our spark lighted on as when we were teenagers

—Have I told you how happy you make me?

All of this made me feel like a teenager falling in love again. Most of our evening was based on being that couple in love, kisses here and there... A little bit of sex too, but what's wrong about it? It was empty by the time, besides, I've always wanted to have sex on the beach

—You hungry? -Cal asks-

—A little, why?

—Let me go get some things to the car, you just stay here if you want -he kisses me one last time before walking away-

—Need a hand? -I ask almost shouting but he shakes his hand and keep on walking-

Minutes later he was walking back carrying some things, including a guitar

—What's all this? -I smile helping him-

—Our food, appetizers too... And my guitar -he smiles-

—When did you put all this in the car? You must have drugged me because I don't remember it

—Let's say Mali helped me distracting you -he shrugs and winks at me-

—And my intuition tells me she wanted to take care of Wyatt conveniently to help you too -I say conspicuously-

—That's why I love you, because you're really intelligent -he laughs- let's put this there -he points to the table we were in minutes before-

We walked over there putting the three baskets of food that Calum packed. Yes, three baskets of food for two people, I don't know how exaggerated that but the truth is I love it... And my boyfriend

—Do you know what I was remembering days ago? -I shake my head- when we were teenagers and you liked when I sang to you w-I interrupt him-

—While playing the guitar -I finish the sentence smiling- yes, I do remember that, you know I've always loved your voice and your talent
