CALLUM'S LA HOME
los angeles, california

friday
12pm

i paced around callum's living room as he sat on the couch holding in his laughter as i blabbered on about kourtney's works in confirming callum and i's relationship.

"i mean can you believe that? i know her and i aren't on good terms but seriously? who would do that?" i said. "of course it's obvious you and i are seeing each other but for her to confirm it...jesus," i said as i continued pacing.

callum chuckled as he watched me pace back and forth, clearly amused by my frustration. "i have to admit, it is kind of funny how she'll do anything to get under your skin." he said.

i stopped pacing for a moment and shot him a glare. "yeah, hilarious." i said sarcastically. "except it's not. it's infuriating. she has no business exposing my personal life like that."

callum stood up and walked over to me, placing his hands on my shoulders to stop me from pacing. "hey," he said gently. "you're going to wear a hole in the floor if you keep that up."

i took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down. "i know, i know. it's just so frustrating." i said as i leaned into him, resting my forehead on his chest.

callum wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close. "i know it is. but you can't let her get to you like this. she's just trying to get a reaction out of you."

i groaned. "yeah well she's succeeding. i just want to live my life without her sticking her nose in it all the time."

callum gently rubbed my back. "you're never going to be able to keep her out of your business unfortunately. she's family, she's always going to be around."

"speaking of family. some of my family members really like you," i said as i looked up at him.

callum raised an eyebrow. "oh yeah? which ones?" he asked, a smirk playing at the corner of his mouth.

"kylie for being so good with stormi and aire, kim for...i don't know why, kendall for being on her favorite show." i paused, "yeah that's it so far. which is really good. my family usually hates the guys i let them meet."

callum chuckled. "well i'm flattered. i'm glad they're all on board with me." he said, a hint of amusement in his voice. "but i'm a little hurt you didn't mention your parents."

"my mom and i haven't actually talked a lot recently and as for caitlyn, i don't see her often." i shrugged.

callum furrowed his brow. "are you and kris fighting?" he asked, clearly concerned.

i shook my head. "no, no. nothing like that...we just haven't talked since the housewarming party." i explained with a warm smile.

callum nodded, understanding. "ah okay. i'm just glad there's not any family drama." he said, a small smile on his face.

"there's always family drama. were you listening when i told you about kourtney-" i said before being cut off by him.

callum chuckled and placed his index finger over my lips, silencing me. "i think i've heard enough about kourtney for one day," he said, his eyes sparkling with amusement.

i rolled my eyes playfully and swatted his hand away. "fine, fine. we don't have to talk about my crazy family anymore. though i'd love to hear about yours."

callum chuckled again and sat down on the couch, gesturing for me to join him. as i sat down next to him, he wrapped his arm around my shoulders and pulled me close. "there's not much to tell about my family, really. we're pretty boring compared to yours. it's just my mom and i really."
