5SOS Preferences

Adventure - Calum Hood

Grumbling, you hunt for your buzzing phone. It's somewhere in the bed, but it clearly doesn't want to be found. When it finally falls out of the duvet and into your lap, you've missed the call from Calum. But, you have about 50 messages from him. Your face lights up and your heart races as you read the messages. He wants to go on an adventure - which means you sneaking out. Normally you'd just be able to leave considering the fact that you're eighteen years old, but since your parents were out of town your sister was staying with you for the week, and she is way too protective over you. You're only five years younger than her, but that doesn't make a difference.
You don't even have to contemplate going - you are. There would never be an occasion where you would turn down spending time with Calum.
Still smiling, you change out of your pyjamas into a hoodie and shorts, brush your hair and shove some pillows under the duvet. Hopefully this looks realistic enough. Opening the door slowly and quietly, you step out of your room. Your sister is staying in your parents room, which you take extra care to tiptoe past carefully.

"Did you get out okay?" Calum asks the second you hop into his car.
"Yeah, it was fine. Did you?"
Calum chuckles. "I think mums finally getting over the fact that I'm growing up. I told her I was going out and she was fine with it."
"Wow," you respond with wide eyes. Calum's mum has always been the most protective woman you've known.
"I know. But we're eighteen now, she just needs to accept it."
Nodding in agreement, you flick through Calum's CD collection until you find Blink-182. When you finally do, you shove one of the discs into the CD player and boost up the volume.
"This is why I love you," Calum grins, placing his hand on your knee and giving you a sidewards glance. You curse your entire body for the way it reacts to him - it's like he's magic or something, and you hate it.
"So," you say, "where are we going?"
Calum grins mischievously, worrying you.
"Cal... where?" You ask again.
"To the beach," he responds, his eyes twinkling while your eyes widen in shock.
"The beach?" You exclaim. "The beach is like fifty miles away!"
"I don't care," he says with a shrug, "it's gonna be fun"

Two hours later and you're wondering why you ever doubted this plan. You've got the entire beach to yourselves, and Calum is so happy.
Calum's portable speaker is blaring out and you're both dancing barefoot in the sand, feeling high on life.
"This is really fun," you exclaim a little breathlessly. Calum grins and nods his head just as 'I'm lost without you' by Blink-182 starts playing. You shuffle awkwardly, not really knowing how to dance to this slow song. Calum chuckles at your awkwardness and grabs your hand, pulling you towards him effortlessly. His hands wrap around your waist and yours find their place resting on his shoulders. For a few minutes you just stare at each other while slightly swaying, neither of you wanting to drop the eye contact. There's definitely something building between you - although you're not quite sure what it is.
The song ends, but neither of you move. You're both happy in each other's arms, getting lost in each other's eyes.
"Uh, [Y/N]?" Calum mutters after a while., breaking his trance.
"Yes Cal?" You whisper, a small smile tugging at the edges of your lips.
His face changes from nervous to slightly amused and confused in an instant.
"What're you smiling at?" He grins.
"Just you," you sigh happily. "and about how happy you make me."
His face changes again, this time lighting up completely. "Really?" He whispers in disbelief.
"Of course." You tell him. "You're my favourite person on the whole planet. Nobody makes me feel like this apart from you."
Something in his eyes melts, and then before you know it his lips are on yours.
He pulls back almost instantly, barely giving you time to kiss back.
"I'm sorry-" he blurts immediately, his face contorted with nerves. Before he gets too nervous, you reconnect your lips.
When you retract, his eyes are almost unreadable, but you can clearly tell that his beside himself with happiness.
"[Y/N]?" Calum asks, taking a deep breath. You nod at him, encouraging him to go on.
"I'm in love with you. I always have been, and I always will be. I want to be with you more than anything." He rushes, obviously nervous.
Your heart is racing and flittering and swelling with joy as your stomach does somersaults.
"I love you too," you whisper, unable to hide your emotions any longer. "And there's nothing I want more than to be yours. I've always been yours, Cal."
He kisses you again, and you're almost convinced that you're dreaming. How could it be possible for someone to kiss this well in real life? It baffles you.
"This," you mumble onto his lips, "has been our best adventure yet."
