F*cking cliché

37

He takes a few dramatic seconds of silence and pulls the trigger.

My heart skips a beat.

It wasn't loaded.

My breathing becomes irregular as I start to panic.

'I'll release him.. unharmed. But if I see any of you trying to get him free.. I will change the rules of Russian roulette and take out only one bullet.'

He lays my phone down and walks towards me again.

'Shh.. calm down, it's okay. I'm not hurting you.. not until I release you and face you again afterwards.'

He helps me out and wants to pull me into a hug but I push him away.

'You could've shot me!'

He sighs and points the gun at me.

'What are you doing?'

He pulls the trigger five more times, while I hold my breath.

'See, it was empty.'

'Dude my heart! You scared me.'
'I know, but I promised you that I wouldn't hurt you.. so you should've trusted me.'

I sigh as I walk to the couch and drop down onto it.

'Cal..'
'Shouldn't you clean up this mess?'

I hear him groan quietly when he starts cleaning up the stunt he just pulled.

'Calum can you be angry with me after our days are over?'
'Maybe I should just leave.'

He walks over to me and sits down next to me laying a hand on my shoulder.

'First of all you can't,' he states meaning the video we just filmed, 'Secondly I don't want you to leave.'

I close my eyes while sighing and lay my head down on his shoulder.
He wraps an arm around my waist as a reply.

'Is everything just going back to normal after this?' I stare at the wall.
'You don't seem to be someone who can just do that and maybe I do but.. I can't,' he mumbles, 'That sounds weak doesn't it?'
'Kind of.. does it matter? I'm the only one who knows. Besides.. we're going through the same thing right now.'

I feel how he slowly moves his hand up and down my side.

'I know.. why do you need to be this hot? Couldn't you just be someone I want to get rid off?' 'I.. I'm not.'

I turn a bit to look at his face, he's smiling.

'Just believe me for once.'
'I'm not going to call myself.. hot.'

He sniggers quietly and cups my head in his hands.

'Darling, why can't we just stay like this for every.'
'We both know that's impossible.'

I get lost in his mysterious eyes.. it's like I'm trying to find something back there.

'You really like my eyes don't you?'
'It's just.. they're dark but not evil.. you know?' I try to explain.
'Cal just say you like them.. that's so much easier.. don't be so poetic.'

I lay my head down on his lap as I stare up to keep looking at his perfectly build face.

'If I tell you that you're going to tease me with it.'
'Like I'm not going to tease you with what we did last night.. the way you carefully tugged my hair.. the way you moan when I..' 'Okay stop! I'm not listing anymore!' I cut him off which resolves in him grinning back.

'I like it when you moan for me.'
'Levi stop it!' I yell while feeling my cheeks heat up.
'I love teasing you darling.. especially when it embarrasses you.'
'I thought you weren't going to be a dick today.' 'I never promised it.'

'I will kill you if you bring any of this up during work.' 'Calum I know you can't kill me, you're too nice for that.'

He pulls my head up and places a quick kiss on my forehead.

'Don't worry I won't tease you with it while there are others around, I don't want people to find out about all of.. this.' 'Thanks,' I mumble.

I yawn.

'Are you tired already?'
'Yea I didn't really.. sleep last night.'
He chuckles. 'Sorry about that.'
'How late even is it?' 'Around.. three.'
'Well.. I think I'm just going to nap for a while,' I mumble.
'So I'm suddenly boring now?' 'Yea.'
'Alright sweet dreams.'

It takes me just a few seconds to fall asleep while I'm still laying in his lap.

'

I wake up when the surface underneath me abruptly moves.

'The fuck?' I mumble with a hoarse voice.
'Sorry didn't mean to wake you up but.. I wanted to microwave a pizza for us.. well me but you're awake now so yea.. you're allowed to eat as well.'

I turn to my side.

'Wait how late is it?'
'Half past six.'
'And you stayed with me for that long?' 'I was watching TV.' 'Ah.'

'So what kind of pizza are we eating?'
'Depends.. are you a hawaii kinda guy or a margarita kinda guy?'
'Pinapple on pizza? You out of all people except that?' I question.
'It's good, as long as all other fruits aren't topping I'm fine with it.'
'Good, because you would've hated me.'

'

We went to bed around eleven and just watched some stupid things for a while.

Now my head is laying on his bare chest. That fact only causes me to think about last night.. it was perfect, not like I've had anything to compare it with, but still.. it felt like the weight on my shoulder became lighter.
I finally allowed my body to do what it desired.

'Levi?' 'Yes?'
'Did you ever.. you know hookup with a guy before?' I ask quietly.
'No. Why?' 'I just.. wondered.'
