secret love song ◈ malum (completed)

one

"when you hold me in the street and you kiss me on the dance floor..."

calum

i giggle as he wraps his arms around my waist.

"you are too cute, cal," he whispers in my ear.

"you're not bad yourself," i giggle again.

"i love," my heart rate picks up, "your little giggle," he smiles, pecking my lips.

i almost frown, but instead i smile, and nuzzle my head into the crook of his neck.

"i love these moments together," i say, so badly wanting to just say "you".

"so do i, cal," he sighs.

we cuddle for another hour or so, before i fall asleep.

-

i wake up, the space next to me empty. a frown finally settles on my face.

i get up and change, leaving the hotel room. i walk to the elevator and take it down to the lobby. i walk over to ashton and slump into him.

"hey munchkin," he says, wrapping his arm around me.

"hey ashy," i yawn.

"we're gonna go get some coffee, you two wanna join?" michael walks over with luke attached to his side.

i want to scowl, but know that i can't; they're my best friends.

i nod, although any time spent with these three all together only hurts me.

ashton is like my big brother, but he's the biggest 'muke' fan. he's always cooing over their relationship, when it only hurts me. but obviously no one knows about that.

i walk ahead of the rest of them, and keep my head down.

"what's with him this morning?" i hear luke mumble.

"he's just tired," ashton says.

if only they knew about the constant ache in my chest.

-

he chases after me, and i giggle. he catches up to me, wrapping his arms around my torso from behind.

we stand in the middle of the street, giggling like love-struck fools.

he kisses my shoulder, as the other two follow behind us. luke is wearing an unreadable frown, but i could care less. i have michael to myself.

we walk into the club hand-in-hand, exchanging glances and short kisses.

halfway through the night, luke and ashton are sat at the bar, whilst michael drags me onto the dance floor. i giggle, covering my mouth with my hand and follow him.

his arms wrap around my waist, and mine go around his neck. we slow dance even though the loudest, fastest song is playing.

i can't help the smile that breaks onto my face, seeing the flashing lights reflect in his eyes and light up his skin.

he leans closer, whispering the words i long to hear everyday into my ear.

"i love you so much, baby," he says.

"i love you too, mikey," i say.

he leans in further, connecting our lips in a slow and passionate kiss.
