Initiation

Blake glanced over at Calum who had his son lying face down across his legs, he gently stroked his back as he laid, his eyes closing as he did so. She smiled quietly to herself before turning to face the boys again who were still whispering among themselves.

"Okay we're gonna go for Flood for one," Michael turned back to Ashton to make a final decision, "and... Fall," everything fell silent for a second before Blake gave them a big smile.

"And that is how you win." She threw the rest of the cards on the table in victory before Michael let out a big cheer in happiness shaking Ashton's shoulder as he laughed in success.

"I'm pissed but well played," Helena laughed Blake thanked her laughing too before looking over at Calum who was already looking back at her with a warm smile plastered across his face.

His stomach was completely filled with butterflies and for the first time in a long time, it didn't scare him.

Michael was so happy he began to jump up and down on the sofa while Ashton ran to get the board so he could write a massive number 2 on his and Michael's side.

After things began to settle down the 5 moved into the kitchen, Noah had fallen asleep not to long ago so they decided to leave him on the sofa in peace. Ashton and Helena were one side of the kitchen by the sink, his back pressed against the counter while Helena's back was pressed into his chest as his arms wrapped around her waist. While Blake and Calum were on the other behind the Island that sat in the middle of the room, she sat on one of the stools as she ate some ice cream that Helena had given her. Calum was checking on Noah before entering the kitchen again, he made his way over to Blake standing behind her before putting his arm around her shoulder before leaning down and placing a kiss on her cheek, she rested her head against the arm hanging over her shoulder.

Helena smiled gently as she noticed how comfortable Calum had become around Blake and not only just her but how he was with her in front of them.

"So when's the wedding?" Blake asked

"January 6th," Helena told her

"Oh so pretty soon?" She said

"Too soon," Ashton joked which received an eye roll from Helena, "just kidding," he kissed her cheek which put a smile back on her face

"When did you want me to come set the lights up Ash?" Michael spoke up as he sat on the countertop also eating some ice cream.

"Probably New Year's Day or something I haven't figured that out yet but Calum said he'd help too," Ashton shrugged and Calum nodded.

"if there's anything else I can do to help, let me know," Blake smiled at the couple across the room.

"You're doing enough!" Helena waved her hand at Blake

"Well if you do, you know where to find me," she smiled again.

It was gone midnight and Blake could feel herself growing more tired so she decided it was time for her to go home.

"We should do something sometime, just a girl day," Helena said as she hugged Blake goodbye. Blake agreed and suggested Saturday afternoon which sit well with Helena's plans.

"See you next week?" Ashton asked as he gave her a hug

"Next week?" She was confused this was going to be a regular thing?

"Yeah you're apart of the group now," he smiled stepping back and placing an arm over his fiancés shoulders.

"You passed the initiation, welcome, there's no going back." He smirked before turning to Calum, "I like her, see you guys later," he said before stepping out the already open door.

"See you guys," Blake smiled before stepping out followed by Calum who placed a hand on the small of her back.

"I fucking did that," they heard Ashton say as he spoke about them

"Shut up they can hear you," Calum and Blake looked at each other as they walked over the street to her car and giggled before hearing the front door shut.

They slowed down as they got to her car. His hands found her waist as she wrapped her arms around his shoulders, "Thanks for inviting me tonight, I had fun," she smiled as he began to bring his face closer to hers

"Really?" He smirked brushing his nose against hers

"Yeah," she giggled again before he pressed his lips against hers making her body feel giddy with happiness. Her hand moved to his cheek as she gently deepened the kiss. He began to smile wildly which made him pull away, he placed his forehead on hers before placing another small kiss on her lips, "thank you," she whispered as she brushed her thumb against his cheek taking in his eyes which were deep in hers.

Her lips met his cheek sweetly before meeting his lips again for the last time before they both said their goodbyes as she climbed into her car.

Something inside of Calum just didn't want their kiss to end, as soon as it was over he wanted it to start again, it was like his body was on fire every time she touched him and he didn't want it to stop.
