Katie's POV

I was at a loss for words.

It was such a simple question and yet I was sitting here like an idiot just staring at him.

"Katie?" Calum waved his hand in front of my face making me shake my head and give him a small smile.

I was beyond happy that he finally asked me to be official with him but there was a small part of me that could only think about how this would affect Niall and I.

Why the hell am I thinking about Niall at a time like this?!

I opened my mouth and was ready for whatever came out to be my answer, probably not the best way to decide.

"Yes, of course I'll be your girlfriend."

I smiled and watched as his face broke into a huge smile before he suddenly fished his wallet out of his pocket, he left a twenty dollar bill on the table and quickly gripped my hand.

He lead me back upstairs but instead of going to my room he walked straight past it and opened the door to his hotel room.

"Why are you bringing me here?" I giggled and he flashed a smile before opening the door and leading us in.

As soon as the door was closed he gently pushed me against it and hovered his lips over mine in a teasing matter.

"Well your dad is in your hotel room and I really want to kiss you without him interrupting."

I couldn't take much of his teasing before I leaned forward just the slightest so our lips would meet. He responded straight away and backed me back up against the door to deepen the kiss.

This feeling of his lips on mine was something I had missed so much, I can't even remember how long it's been but I'm glad he's back.

"Why are you here Calum?" I mumbled against his lips and he laughed while pulling away.

"To be alone with you?" He stated but it sounded more like a question.

"No I mean, Why are you back on tour all of the sudden. The day after I get totally shit faced and get in huge trouble with my dad and then you show up to be my knight in shining skinny jeans."

He shook his head with a smile on his face before pecking my nose softly.

"You really don't know what the date is do you?" He asked and I shook my head.

"It's been three weeks Katie, I was meant to come back on tour with you guys today. I guess not having me around made your life a bit of a blur."

I wanted to laugh but I couldn't help think that Liam might have talked to Calum already.

"Did Liam talk to you? Like did he tell you to come back a day early or something because I'm not meant to hang around them any more unless my dad is with us and I just think it's a little weird that you show up and the most perfect time."

He sighed heavily and placed his head into the crook of my neck.

"Honestly Katie, I haven't talked to any of them since I got here. I came straight to you."

I blushed madly at his words before letting out an 'awww' and kissing his cheek.

"And then I got your sick on my hands from holding back your hair."

I scoffed and punched his shoulder softly.

"Way to ruin the moment, Hood."

"You're welcome, Hood's girlfriend."

Instead of finding some smart-ass remark, I crashed my lips to his again.

The kiss grew heated very quickly and I tugged on his shirt to try and get him to remove the material but he pulled away and shook his head.

"Katie baby, slow down. We don't have to do anything today. You probably still have alcohol in your system from last night." He whispered and I instantly pouted.

"But I want too, don't you want too?"

"Of course! But I don't want you to think that I'm only with you for sex, because you mean a hell of a lot more to me."

I blinked a few times and opened my mouth but yet again nothing came out.

Just tell him you love him Katie! It's not that hard.

It felt like word vomit, like any second I was going to say it but then of course my phone had to go off.

I groaned and pulled it out of my pocket to see who it was.

Dad: Family lunch. You, me and Liam. Please start getting ready sweetie!

Of course he expects me to be around Liam and not feel awkward!

I got him in trouble, I got them all in trouble because of my dumb decisions and he wants me to act like nothing happened!

"I have to go get ready. Family lunch."

Calum gave me a sympathetic smile like he knew I wasn't happy about this and then a kiss goodbye before I walked back to my room.

When I got there, my dad was no where to be found so I quickly changed out of my comfortable clothes and put on a pair of high waisted shorts with the Nirvana shirt Calum had given me ages ago.

I took a deep breath and knocked on Liam's door since I didn't know where we were going or where the boys were.

No one answered the door but oddly enough it was unlocked so I just went straight in.

"Liam? Dad?" I called but had no answer from either.

Where the hell are they?

I walked into Liam's bedroom. I better not see anything gross...

Still no sign of him.

Just as I was about to walk out of his room, something caught my eye.

My favourite yellow coat.

"What the hell?" I mumbled to myself as I picked up the material and ran my fingertips over the sleeves.

I tightened my hands around it for a second and felt something crumple in the inside pocket. I carefully and shakily pulled out the paper to see that it was actually an old photo.

Staring at the photo intensely, I searched my brain for answers as I was sure I've seen this photo before but can't remember where or when.

Suddenly my eyes widened as I put it together.

It was Vinny and I, in high school.

We were like fourteen and strangely happy but I look so different now.

I flipped the photo over to see if it had an exact date but was meet with a message that made my skin crawl.

'See you soon kitty kat - Vinny x'

I wanted to cry.

The level of scared I was right now was intense, yet didn't Vinny live on the other side of the world? So how could he have got this here?

"Katie?" Liam's voice spoke from behind me.

I jumped about five feet in the air and did my best to hide the photo back in the pocket of my coat without him noticing.

"Why is my coat in here?" I asked softly and he just scoffed and looked at me.

"We haven't talked all day and that is the first thing you say to me?" He seemed nervous when he talked, like he was hiding something.

"Why the fuck is my coat in here?" I repeated slower this time and he gulped loudly.

"You left in here when you were drunk last night."

Really?

"Are you sure? Because I don't even recall packing it in my suitcase."

"Well then you must be really forgetful." He snapped making my eyes widen.

I let out a shaky breath and picked up the coat that I had dropped onto his bed.

Just as I was about to walk past him, he gripped onto my arm to stop me from leaving.

"Where are you going? Family lunch remember?" He asked and I scoffed before ripping my arm out of his grip.

"I'm going back to my hotel room, must still be hung over or something because I don't feel too good." I stated remembering what Calum had said about me still having alcohol in my system.

"Oh. Um get better soon?" He said questioningly and I nodded before quickly slipping out of his hotel room and hurriedly walking to mine.

Calum's POV

I pulled my old chequered shirt over top of my singlet and searched around for my hotel door key as I got ready to go out with the other boys.

As I flung the door open, I just caught sight of Katie running from Liam's hotel room to hers.

She didn't seem too happy.

"Baby?" I called out to her but she ignored me and walked into her room.

I ran as fast as I could and managed to get to the hotel door before it slammed closed, I quietly closed it behind me and followed Katie to her room.

"Katie?" I asked again and placed my hand on her shoulder.

She squealed and turned to back away from me within seconds, She was scared and shaking like a leaf.

"What's wrong baby?" I asked her and she mumbled many non-understandable things under her breath before she started rushing around to pick up all her stuff from around the floor.

"H-he's going to hurt me." She finally whispered just loud enough for me to hear.

Something is definitely wrong.

She only ever stutters when she's really, really upset.

"Hey, calm down and tell me what's going on." I stated calmly and tried to give her a hug but she suddenly pushed me away making my eyes widen in surprise.

"No! He's coming and I-I need to leave."

I opened my mouth to argue with her but stopped when I saw her suddenly grow glossy as she tried desperately to hold in her tears.

Eventually she couldn't take it any more and fell to the ground and let out a loud whimper before many cries were heard.

I didn't know what to do, the last time she was really this upset would have to be the first time I ever saw her cry. It was when Sophia slapped her and told her to stay out of the spotlight.

There was nothing I could say to her that she would hear over her cries so I sat down on the floor next to her and pulled her onto my lap.

She didn't pay me any attention as she bawled her eyes out and pulled at her hair with her small balled up hands.

"Please tell me what's wrong baby, how can I keep you safe if you don't tell me what's wrong?"

She jumped and let out more cries and whimpers before removing her hands from her hair and fisting my shirt in her hands.

"Y-you'll keep me safe no matter what, right?"

"Of course I would. What's going on that's got you this scared?" I asked and she pressed her lips to mine to stop me from talking any more.

"Please keep me safe, I don't want to leave you." She whispered.

"Then don't leave." I whispered back.

Her lips met mine again and I knew why she was doing this. She wanted to know she was safe and that I was here, what better way to know that than being intimate with someone.

I moved my arms from around her waist to her shoulders and rubbed slightly as I deepened the kiss.

She was really tense.

"I think someone needs a hot bath." I hotly whispered and she let out a small whimper and gripped tighter onto my shirt.

"will you be with me?" She asked growing scare again.

"Of course baby."

I lifted her up from my lap and walked us into the bathroom of her hotel room and gently placed her on the tiled floor as I bent down next to tub to turn on the taps.

Once the bath was filled I put some of her bath salts into the water and crawled over to her.

"You trust me right?" I asked and she simply nodded at my words.

I slowly pulled her shirt from her body and she automatically kissed me again.

"We don't have to do anything for you to realize that I will always be here for you Katie, you know I love you."

She still kept quiet as she lifted my shirts from my body.

I took that as I sign that she wanted me in the bath with her and stood up before helping her up.

Slowly I reached down to the buttons of her shorts and she gripped onto my arms to steady herself as she let them fall to the floor.

I did the same with my jeans and helped her into the bath before getting in behind her.

She let out a few more small whimpers and I sighed as I used a wash cloth to run the hot water over her shoulders and back.

"Are you going to tell me what's wrong?"

"N-no."

I had to respect that she didn't want to talk about whatever was wrong but I was just scared for her, she looked like she had just had some kind of near death experience and was now going through post traumatic stress.

"I will always be here for you as long as you want me here." I whispered next to her ear and she turned around to straddle my lap.

"Please make love to me." She asked desperately and I shook my head.

"I already said we didn't need to do that Katie."

"I need to feel you, I want to be close to you, to remember what's it's like to have your arms wrapped around me tightly."

The way she spoke was enough to make me hard, Katie's only had sex once and I didn't want to hurt her but I wanted this as much as she did.

"Are you sure baby?" I asked one last time.

"Yes. I want to ride you."

"Please be careful." I said and felt my breath hitch in my throat slightly as she grabbed my shaft under the water and began to pump up and down.

After a few minutes, she lowered herself down slowly and I felt her tense and hiss under her breath as she was still very tight an this was probably stretching her a bit.

"Please tell me if this hurts." I pleaded and watched sadly as I saw even more tears slide down her cheeks.

She shook her head and leaned onto my chest and she moved her hips into mine.

"It feels so good." She whimpered out and I knew she was getting closer.

"Cum for me baby." I whispered felt her go over the edge as her walls clenched and she moaned loudly into my neck.

Hearing her moan through her high, made me cum faster than I thought I would before I slowed down the buckling of my hips and kissed her softly on the mouth.

"I'll always be here for you." I repeated my words from earlier and watched as her eyes finally returned to their warm bright shade of brown.

"I love you Calum."

Notes

I know I know. I suck at updating.

Little story fact for you:
When I first started writing this fanfic the title was actually called 'A world of Payne' but just before I posted the first chapter I decide that 'A life of Payne' sounded better.

Love you girls! xx
