Adelaide's Point of View

I flopped down onto the mattress, my back sinking into the duvet. A bright smile was still permanently etched across my features and I raised my hands up to cover my face, which only resulted in me uncontrollably laughing.

Calum let out a small giggle as kneeled onto my bed, creating a dip in the mattress. His body hovered over mine as he circled his palms around my wrists and pried my hands off of my face. "What's so funny?" He asked, tilting his head to the side like an adorable puppy.

I shrugged, still chuckling in a childish manner. "Nothing is funny I'm just so giddy. I can't believe you are here and you are my boyfriend again. I legitimately thought you were such a dick when you didn't come to the airport and then I got really sad and was thinking that I would never get to see you again, but now you're here, in my bedroom. It's just all so surreal and I'm so happy."

His grin matched mine as Calum ducked his head down and kissed me gently before plopping down on the spot next to me. I instantly wrapped my arms around his chest and enveloped my legs around his waist, squeezing him tightly as if I was a monkey clutching onto a tree. He laughed again, hugging me back so we were both cuddling with absolutely no space between our bodies. "You're so adorable, Ad."

"You know what's weird?" I started, nestling my head even deeper into his broad chest. Calum mumbled something as a response, letting me know that he was listening to me. "You always call me 'Ad.' Like no one else ever calls me that and I don't want anyone else too. I love it so much."

Calum pressed a kiss against my cheek. "I love you so much."

I could feel his heart rapidly beating due to the placement of my head on his body. It was relaxing, and I let my eyelids begin to flutter close. "I love you more," I whispered, suddenly feeling too tired to even let out a normal octave.

His long fingers continued to trace patterns on my back. He would slowly lift my shirt up and skim across my exposed skin carefully. "You should get some sleep, baby. I already got a chance to take a nap but you still need to. That was a long flight."

Calum's hand travelled down even further until they were placed firmly on my butt. I turned to the side, just to be a tease, so he lost access to feeling up my backside. "But Cal, I don't want to sleep. I want to cuddle with you forever and figure out what we're going to do here in America and then have sex," I whined incoherently.

He stifled out a giggle, pulling me even closer to him so he could kiss my forehead. My eyes were still shut, but I could still feel his admirable gaze on me. "Ad, we can't do that when your parents are here. Especially since your parents are really cool and they like me a lot and I don't want to ruin that."

I attempted to hold back a yawn, but I couldn't stop it from escaping my mouth. "Aren't you going to miss your parents, sugarplum? And what about Lukey and Ash? They are such cutie pies, Cal. Won't you miss them?"

"Are you sure you didn't drink anything on the plane? You seem like you're drunk," Calum observed, and I could feel him shaking his head at me in amusement. His finger tucked a piece of my hair out of my face. "I'm going to miss my family, yes, but it's not like I'm never going to see them again. And the boys are moving to America too. We can all get a house together or something."

"Mmm-kay," I responded, half-heartedly. I tried to crane my head out and kiss his neck, but I'm pretty sure I kissed his nipple instead, making him laugh even more at me. I was exhausted though and my eyes were not going to be opening anytime soon, so it really wasn't even my fault.

"Go to sleep, Ad. I'll still be here when you wake up."

Those two sentences were all I needed to drift off into complete slumber.

--

When I finally woke up, my heart was racing a mile a minute. I leaped out of bed, panting like crazy as I searched my bedroom for Calum. He wasn't in here and I was freaking out. It was all a dream, wasn't it? He wasn't actually here, right? What boy would fly across the planet for me? I had to be dreaming.

I grumbled, snatching an elastic that I had left on my vanity and tieing my hair up into a slick ponytail with. My feet stomped down the steps towards the dining room, with my arms folded against my chest as I began growing more agitated by my vivid dream.

To my surprise, my parents were sitting at the gigantic round table with Calum joining them as well. Jesus, this whole jet-lag thing is really making me a disoriented freak. "So you are here?" I questioned, only making eye contact with Calum and completely ignoring my mother and father.

My boyfriend furred his eyebrows together in confusion, then he nodded once he realized what I was talking about. "Yeah, sorry. I somehow managed to get out of your death grip, without waking you up, since I was so hungry and your parents made a delicious meal for dinner."

I pulled the chair out that was across from him, and next to my mom, and smiled at my family as a fresh plate was slid in front of me. "It looks great. I've missed your cooking. I was practically living off cheese and crackers back in Australia because I was too lazy to go grocery shopping."

My dad chuckled, scooping up a bite of of his spaghetti. "Calum told us that actually. Along with a few other funny stories. I'm glad to hear you had so much fun down there, kiddo."

My eyes narrowed at Calum, wondering what on Earth he had revealed to my parents. I nibbled away at the pasta, letting the yummy sauce give my tastebuds a little party. "Hopefully we will have just as much fun here."

"Me too, sweetie," My mom cooed, sending me a proud smile that warmed my heart. I was truly relieved that both of them had taken a liking towards Calum. It was beautiful to see how easily people adore him and I think it was helping him recover from the years of being hated in his hometown. "So are you two going to go to the city carnival tomorrow? Your father and I went two days ago. They seemed to have good rides this year."

Every summer a carnival would be held in honor to celebrate the end of a season, and all of the teenagers who lived in this general vecinity would attend. It was always a ton of fun, I just wasn't sure if I wanted to be surrounded with all of the people I was trying to distance myself from just yet.

Calum's brown eyes glistened at the mention of the fair. "Well since we are the most cliché couple ever, we might as well go on a cliché date. It seems like a great way to kick off living in America."

"Hopefully Addy doesn't puke on you after the Ferris Wheel, Cal," My dad teased, making the two of them burst into a fit of laughter. "She was like eight and looked a little pale and next thing I knew she had enough vomit to fill an entire pool. And this other time-"

"Dad!" I hissed, although I wasn't even angry at him, it was a pretty funny story, I just couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. I wiped the corner of my mouth with the much-too-expensive napkins. "I might as well just not go to the carnival anymore because all of these stories tend to haunt me."

My dad curled his lips up in a pout as he finished the last bit off food. "Aww, Adelaide, we're just messing with you. Would you rather we talk about what university you'll be attending in the winter instead?"

"No," I stated quickly, groaning at the subject. Even the mention of returning to college made my stomach do flips. "May I be excused?"

My mother glanced over to me with concern. "What? Honey, you just got to the table. Is everything okay?"

I gulped down another sip of the water that had been poured into a wine glass before standing up. "I'm fine, I'm just suddenly not feeling very well. I think it's just part of the whole jet-lag thing."

"Do you want any medicine? We have some ibuprofen in the cabinet," My mom explained in a worrisome tone, although I'm sure it was fairly obvious that I was just using illness as an excuse to hide in my room.

I shook my head before departing back up the stairs and heading back to my old sanctuary that now fills me with such nostalgia. As soon as I entered the room I immediately peeled my clothes off and changed into a long t-shirt that came to mid-thigh with only my cheeky underwear beneath it. I curled up into my bed again as I let out a loud sigh.

I wasn't even sure why I had gotten a change in mood so quickly. It was probably due to incoming PMS, but I think my brain is just stressed out. I had spent so much time analyzing my relationship with Calum that I completely skipped over the fact that I would need to figure out what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I had no talents whatsoever and I had mediocre grades in high school. There was no way I would ever live up to my parents expectations of having a successful daughter that has an impressive job like her brother. And disappointing people absolutely sucks.

"What's wrong, baby?" Calum asked, coming into my room and then closing the door with his foot. He lifted his hands behind his neck and tugged his shirt off, exposing those abs that I drooled over. Calum slid into the bed next to me, scooping me up into his arms and holding me as if I was actually an infant. He began to lightly swing me back and forth. "Hush little baby, don't you cry. Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby."

I couldn't help but burst into hysterics. It didn't matter how bad of a mood I was in, Cal always had the ability to bring a smile on my face. I'm so glad we were able to get back together, because I have no clue how I would have survived without our relationship. "You're such a dork."

"You know how you said it's weird that I call you, Ad? It's kind of weird how I always call you baby too because like you are almost an adult, but you are still my baby. Please don't call me daddy though."

I kissed his lips, soaking up the feeling of the way our mouths molded together perfectly without any effort at all. "I feel like daddy is something Ashton would like."

Calum threw his head back as he chuckled, finally letting go of my body so I could just sit in his lap with his arm slung around me. I picked up his hand and began to play with his fingers carefully, cracking a few of them just to surprise him. "Are you going to tell me why you are so quiet?"

"I'm just scared for the future, s'all," I declared simply. "As long as I'm with you I'll be okay though."
