Calum was seated on the couch, we decided we stay in the living room. Mom was out getting some groceries and dad had work to do. I plugged the television and snatched the remote control from him. Cal folded his pouty lips into a pout and attempted to do his puppy eyes trick on me. He knew I would give in any time soon.
It made his big brown eyes prettier and his lips to look even more kissable. In general, it just made him look more adorable than usual.
I turned the tv off and set the remote control on the table before making myself comfortable on his lap, "you know I could stay like this for so long if you'd let me" his voice came out muffled due to the fact that he was burying his head on the crook of my neck. He wrapped an arm around my waist to prevent me from falling as I looked up at him and remembered why he was here in the first place.
"Calum, we're supposed to talk weren't we?" I sighed and stood up from my place and sat on the floor, tucking my feet beneath me.
He looked down at me and sighed as well, "I'm not leaving anytime soon I guess"
"Oh, shut up" I snapped at him, I was too upset. I'm being selfish, I get it but I hated the fact that he was leaving me again. And now he's gonna get all famous. Imagine how different that'd be.
He got from his seat and sat on the floor as well. He wrapped his arms around me, forcing me into a hug, "I'm scared.." I trailed off.
"I know baby, shh. Everything's going to be alright. I promise we'll be fine. Everything will stay the same" he whispered as he cradled me as if I was a fragile baby.
"But you're going to leave me" my eyes started to water and honestly I was giving myself a mental face-palm at how emotional I am.
"I won't leave you. It will all be okay, I promise." He tucked stray pieces of my hair behind my ear and kissed my forehead gently.
"I love you" I mumbled on his chest as he pulled me closer into the hug, "You know I do"
"Yes. I love you more, baby"
I didn't want to start an argument with him, it was useless. I want him happy as well and this is what makes him beyond happy so i had to go with it. I loved him so much that if he's happy, I'm happy. And I don't even fucking care how cliché that was or how cliché we are, I'm just stating the truth.
Calum's a person I can be myself with and if I'm not mistaken he's the only person I can be myself with. I stood up, dusted off my skirt and tied my hair up into a messy bun. We were still in our uniforms and didn't bother changing. We went straight to my house after school, anyway.
"I better go," I nodded, "You'll be alright here alone?" He asked standing up as well and headed towards the door. I nodded and gave him one last peck on the lips before he gave me a wave and shut the door behind him.
