~CALUM

"I'm sorry, about everything. I was mad at myself not at you, or your father. i loved your father ever since he became my brother. I was jealous of all the attention and talent he gets. I thought my father will give the company to me cause i'm his biological son but he didn't, he gave it to Eric. When he died i thought this could be it, my dream of being the CEO, i was in the office when i heard that he'll pass it to you, I went crazy and drank a lot.

I should've not done that to you. I'm very sorry my dear, i love you. i want to tell your father too that i loved Laura first, but i didn't want to make your father depressed again, but i did on the day before he got into a car crash. I confessed my love for her and she loved me back. Laura said Eric knew it and said if anything happens, he told her to be with me." She hiccuped and hugged her uncle.

"Its ok. that's all i wanted to hear. god i was so scared that you'll be mad at me again." he patted her head.

"Keia at least take your father's money, you'll need it" Peter said and she nodded

I was surprised by how she quickly forgave them, but you know what they say, good people forgive people.
She did once told me that she quickly forgives people.

Laura elegantly wiped her eyes with a handkerchief. "Keia i'm sorry i was never a mother to you. I don't know how to actually act as a mother to you. I could never be compared as your mother. " she said.

"I needed a mother and uncle ever since father died but the two of you weren't there. " They sniffed. "i was mad, like really mad. When he was still alive, he told me to be patient and give you guys a chance, time ,and to not be angry about everything. Anger leads you to the devil" they chuckled. "Because of this i would not have ran away and live in the city where i always dreamed of. " She looked at me.

"If my stepmom and uncle chooses to love each other, i will happily support you guys. Everyone's a victim of the cupid's arrow. I love you guys."

It was a little awkward for me and Louis so we hugged each other as well. They laughed then gestured us to join them. its like watching a funny yet a dramatic movie.

"Are you sure you don't want to stay here a little longer honey?" Laura said as we put our luggages in the trunk.
"Yeah, we could spend the wasted time we didn't have before" Peter wrapped his hand around Laura's waist.

Louis already left and we settled everything. Keia said she doesn't need those things her father gave, she was contented on what she've earned.She didn't hesitate on giving the company to her uncle, nor the mansion, but she did took the money she is going to receive.

"Its ok. Seeing everything's finally ok makes me so happy." She hugged them once again.

"Just don't hesitate on calling us if you need anything and if you want to work in the company" she chuckled and shook her head.

"I don't wanna go back" Michael pouted and hugged nana. "you're the nana i never had"

"Aww my dear, you can always visit here. Take care of my granddaughter will you?" He nodded.

As soon as we drove away from the mansion, Keia kept on smiling at me.

"You're so happy"
"I'm just glad that everything's ok. Thank you guys. so much"

"No prob" we all said.

"That's it? You're not gonna have any cat fights or something?" Michael said, but in a childish way.

"Michael,that only happens in the movies. That drama shit's only making the story longer." Ash said.

"Keia you're an angel. Will you be mad if i steal Calum on my birthday?"he pouted.

"No. i'll be mad if you won't invite me" she smirked
"You're a girl. girls have cooties"
"And you're 19. Besides, celebrating birthdays with girls is more fun."

"She's right. Parties ain't no fun without girls" i said.

"Shut up you just want to invite her and yes, you're invited." i chuckled. Luke made a sharp turn (he wants to drive), making me lean over Keia and accidentally bumped our heads together.

"Ow" we both said then chuckled.

"What is wrong with you two" Michael said and we all laughed.

We finally got home and Callin jumped as i drop the bags on the floor. She quickly went over to Keia and meowed her.

"We missed you too Callin" she looked at me.

I don't want to move back. I'm fucking staying here. I like living here, no i love living here. Keia is pulling me away from the guy i used to be.

I seriously have a crush on her. dammit.

Callin looked at me then hissed at me. Keia let out the most ridiculous yet purest laugh i've ever heard.

"Why do you hate me?" She laughed louder.

"Cats hate dogs" she patted Callin, making her purr.

"I'm not a dog" i scrunched my nose.

"Well, you look like it"

"Really? Is my hair that long?" I checked my hair in the mirror.

"Yeah,but you're still cute?" I rolled my eyes.
"I'm getting a fucking haircut. I'm not cute" she giggled.

"Then you'll be back as a sex god eh?"
"Shut up. I still am" she walked to the kitchen.

---

"Stop it!" It was 7 in the morning and we're tossing Cheetos at each other. It wasn't a healthy breakfast but,

hey, its Cheetos.

"Stop changing the channels and i'll stop" i said, snatching the remote from her. I settled to Star Movies, which is now playing 'What's your number?'.

"Never watched this." she mumbled.
"Because you only captivated yourself on Twilight movies."

"Hey, Twilight made me believe in forever." I chuckled and she shook her head "Anyways, what's the movie about?"

"Its about a chick who read an article about the average no. of lovers women had in life. She realized she has a higher no. than was said on the article so she tried to track down her exes so she wouldn't be getting any higher"

"Well that's disturbing. I wanna watch." she giggled and i rolled my eyes.

She screamed when she found out the leading dude was Chris Evans, i mean, who wouldn't?

The movie ended and she sighed against my chest. My arm was draped around her, her head positioned on my chest, her hand on my abdomen.

I guess we're really used to this.
I could get used to this.

"I wish we could be like this forever, no problems, doing nothing or watching tv and stuff."

"We?" I looked at her.

"Oh did i said that?" She sat up.

Why did i even asked that? fucking Idiot.

Only the sound of the tv covered our awkward silence.

"I don't mind" i moved closer beside her. She looked and i pretended to be focused on the tv commercial. She smiled and once more rested her head on my chest.
