Dirty Little Secret // C.H.

Thirty-seven

Sienna walked around backstage as David disappeared to round up the lads for soundcheck. She headed in the direction of the boys' dressing room with hopes of finding the boys' newest stylist Rachel.

She hoped Rachel was in the mood for some girl talk or maybe would even offer to do her hair or makeup to pass the time until the show.

The boys were in soundcheck and Niall was busy song writing. He had song deadlines to meet or his management team would not be happy with him. Sienna didn't want to distract him so she left him to work his magic.

Sienna was distracted by her thoughts, looking around as she made her way down the hall but not focusing on anything. That is, until a figure suddenly appeared around the corner at the end of the hall.

Sienna's eyes immediately focused on the person. Whether it was his dark hair or his dark clothes that had caught her attention so quickly, she didn't know.

A smile tugged at her lips.

His eyes landed on her. A grin appeared on his face as he quickly started in Sienna's direction.

"Shouldn't you be in soundcheck?" Sienna called down the hall at him.

"Yep," said Calum. The distance between them was diminishing quickly as he rushed in her direction "But we," he gestured between the two of them. "need to talk."

Sienna sucked in a deep breath. She knew they would have to talk again sooner or later. She had just dropped the "I love you" bomb on him without any warning.

The smile didn't leave Calum's face as he reached Sienna, took her hand in his, and pulled her into the dressing room behind him.

His eyes scanned the room quickly, confirming they were alone before he closed the door behind them.

"Cal-"

Calum took Sienna's face in his hands and kissed her eagerly before she could say anything else.

Sienna kissed him back without hesitation. She ran her hands over his chest as he pulled her closer to him.

Just before Sienna could deepen the kiss, Calum pulled away from her. Though his lips left hers, they remained only mere inches away.

"What you said earlier..." He said breathlessly. "did you mean it?"

"Yes." Sienna took a shaky breath and gave him a nod. "You don't have to say it back." She told him. "but at least you know where I stand." She met his eyes. "You know what I want. Where we go from here is up to you."

Calum didn't need to think on her words. He'd spent too long thinking about what he wanted. He had wasted so much time thinking. He knew where he stood now.

He kissed her again. This time the kiss wasn't as slow and smooth, but deep and full of hunger.

They tangled themselves around each other as they moved toward the wall behind them. Sienna's back pressed against the wall as she tugged on strands of Calum's hair.

They didn't part until their chests ached for air. They broke away from the kiss simultaneously but didn't dare move away from the embrace.
