Calum needs a girlfriend

Slowly

Gia's POV

Over the past couple months, Calum and I had slowly, but surely, found our ways back to each other
    We saw each other privately pretty regularly; I would go to Calum's house or he would come to my apartment.
In the beginning it really felt more like rekindling an old friendship (but also having sex from time to time). We would mainly just hang out and watch movies, play video or board games, chat, or he would demo new songs for me. It was relaxed
      But then it got more serious.
He started buying me flowers and little gifts, we would have romantic meals, he started calling me things like "baby" and "sugar," we were cooking meals together, instead of just chatting- it was now deeper, more in-depth conversations; really listening to each other
The intensity was growing and neither of us wanted it to stop

"Hey baby" he grinned as he opened the door, pulling me in for a heated kiss, his teeth pulling lightly on my bottom lip
I kissed back happily, shifting comfortably into his hands that were resting on my hips "will you at least let me put the groceries in kitchen before we start making out" I grinned, walking past him with the bag
"What am I making?" He asked, watching me unload the groceries onto the counter
"Don't you mean what are we making?" I stuck my tongue out at him
"Feel free to jump in and help me cook whenever you feel like it G- it's just never happened before" he laughed "...but I guess there's always a time for firsts" he added cheekily
"Whatever" I giggled "- besides, I think we've got a pretty good system- I get the groceries, then I drink wine and watch you be sexy while you cook"
He snorted pulling me into him "I'm glad to know that you think watching me cook is sexy"
"Don't be coy- you know you're hot" my hands ran through his hair slowly, our faces an inch apart
He leaned a little closer "maybe..."
"shut up" I grinned, shaking my head, and pulled his head down for our lips to meet
He hoisted me up onto the counter and pulled his shirt off, continuing to kiss me
-

I curled into Calum's side with my arms wrapped around him, kissing his shoulder softly
"G?" He broke the calm silence
"Yeah?"
"Do you still wanna make dinner tonight?"
I paused, and then let out a loud laugh, scooting closer to hold him "honestly... I'd forgotten most of what we were doing before this"
He kissed my head softly, chuckling "so yes or no?"
"Hmm... sounds like too much work" I murmured, content to just lay there and be naked together "wanna order in?"
"How'd I know you were going to say that?" He grinned at me
I just snuggled closer to him, shrugging "... whatever you're getting, get me one too please"
I felt his deep laugh vibrated my hold on him a little and he responded "ok baby, will do"

Instead of even ordering in, we finished the night with cereal and decaf coffee in bed while listening to some quiet house music
"G'night Gee" Calum kisses my forehead as my eyelids drooped
I yawned, barely murmuring a grunted "night" back to him
