Chapter 3

Calum's POV

Summer is first girl that I brought home, seriously. Well, the agreement that me and my brothers had is that the girl that we will bring in this house is the girl that we want to be with for the rest of our lives. Their girlfriends are mafia members too, but Summer is not. I have no idea on how she will handle it if she finds out the real us and what we do. Okay, I am too futuristic in this, when all we gonna do tonight is some dinner.

I can see how amazed Summer is when we got inside the house. I can say that her jaw dropped six feet under. I am looking at her as she looks around the house. When you enter our door, there is a center table with a vase and flower on it then there are staircase on both sides. The house's theme is black and white. I can say that it is simply extravagant in it's simple way.

"You guys are fucking rich." Summer says with a low voice but enough to be heard.

"Not really."

"Are you kidding me?!" Her voice went a bit louder as she turns to me.

"No." I sarcastically shot back then she frown.

"Who lives here with you?"

"Just me and my brothers. And some housekeepers."

"Where are your parents?"

"In Australia. Why are you asking a lot of things?"

"I'm curious."

"Oh. Okay." This girl is something. "Come on, let's head to the kitchen." Then I walked as she follows.

Summer's POV

I am following Calum as he leads the way going to their kitchen. I can't handle their house, it's not even a house, it's a mansion. Their receiving area is bigger than my bedroom at home. This place is making my jaw drop as we walk more in the house.

"Here we are." Calum's voice took me back to reality.

Their kitchen is well, huge and complete in materials and stuff. The color of the place is white and it's elegant. Everything is organized and in place.

"What do you want for dinner then, Summer?" He asks.

"Anything." I answer, still looking around the place.

"Stop being to amused at our place." He says.

"But it's amazing!" I squeaked then he smirks a little.

"Fine. I'll cook you my specialty." He sounds stubborn.

"Why do you have to be so stubborn, Calum?"

"I am not."

"Yes you are." I'm starting to be annoyed.

"I'm not, Summer." He glared.

I give up. I am just trying him, and he is really cute when annoyed. Omg, what am I even thinking? That he is cute? No way, I just met him and I am not letting my guards down for him. But he is adorable and his squishy face is irresistible. Summer, wake up, stop this shit.

I got back in the world by the noise of a metal pan that hit the floor, I jolted and stepped back a little.

"Are you okay?" I ask Calum as I walk to him.

"Yeah. Don't worry."

Calum walked into a giant gray refrigerator and opened the two doors, inside are a lot of fresh and raw ingredients. Again, my jaw dropped. How rich are they? The huge house, expensive cars and furniture, the foods, my head is spinning at the thought of how much those things costs.

"Summer!"

"What?!" I yelled.

"Why are you yelling at me?"

"You yelled at me first!"

"I am calling you for five times already and you aren't answering!"

"Oh." Now I'm embarrassed.

Then the kitchen door opened and a blue eyed blonde guy entered the zone. Wait, I know him. He's the guy in the library earlier. What is he doing in here? Is he Calum's brother?

"Hey, Cal." He greeted Calum then looked at me. "Who are you?" A brow raised from him.

"Hey, Luke. She's Summer." Calum said.

"You are that guy from the library." I said.

"Yeah. And so?" He shot back at me with a glare. Ugh, he's annoying. I feel embarrassed, again.

"Stop that, Luke. She's my guest." Calum rescues.

"Fine. Whatever." He mutters then he walks at the fridge and grabbed a drink then walked out of the place.

"Who is he?" I ask Calum who is preparing the stove.

"It's Luke. He's my brother."

"Really?" Wow, the good looks run in their blood.

"Yeah. We are four actually. I have no idea where Ashton and Michael is as of now. But you'll probably meet them later or at school." He explains.

"Oh, that's cool."

"Don't worry, they're kind." He smiled.

"Luke is not."

"He is. You just don't know him yet. He's really like that." He defended his brother, how sweet though.

Then later on as I watch him cook, I noticed that the wound near his lips is starting to bleed again. I pulled out my handkerchief.

"Calum." I called him.

He stopped what he is doing and faced me and I placed my handkerchief on his wound, he wagged a little but was able to get back at instant.

"Does it hurt?" I ask him, still pressing gently my handkerchief in his wound. He nods his head yes as his eyes buried in mine.

My heart is racing as he looks at me, his brown eyes are perfect.

Calum's POV

Looking at Summer's eyes got me lost as she gently press her handkerchief at my wound. Her soft and sweet side is melting my heart. What's not to like about her? We just met earlier and here she is, concern and taking care of me in some ways. Her eyes matches the perfect features of her face and her lips is something that I can't explain, I like how her lips are and it's natural pinkish color. If I could just kiss those lips..

"Thanks." I said, not taking away my gaze from her.

"You should stop fighting. It's not good."

What the fuck? Who does she think she is to tell me what to do? Fighting and riot is something what I do if I am bored of pissed off. I don't know but I got used into it, and there is no way that I'm stopping or changing that attitude.

"Stop telling me what to do." I shoot a death glare at her and her expression drifted from concern to shocked as her eyes widened a little.

Then her brows pulled together and turned her back on me, she started to walk to the door when I yelled her name for her to stop but she didn't. So I ran after her and grabbed her wrist.

"What?!" She yells at me as she twitch her arm from my hold.

"Why are you yelling at me?!" I yelled back.

"I wanna go home."

"What? I'm still cooking our dinner." God, girls are confusing as hell. What the fuck did I do?

"Will you stop being jerk and glaring at me?" She says but it sounds demanding.

"I am not being a jerk to you." I defended myself.

"Yes you are." She says as she frown.

I walked to her and pulled her for a hug. "I'm sorry, angel." I am expecting her to push me back or resist from the hug but she didn't. Her head rests in my chest with my hand on her back and head, she didn't hugged me back though. Suddenly, my heart beat went to an upbeat as her breathing hits my chest. Then I also realized that I just called her "angel" for some reason, it sounds too sweet I guess?

Then a cough from somewhere bolted us both causing us to jump back a little and pull from the hug, and lastly, take us both back in reality.

"Michael." I feel awkward and embarrassed.

Summer turned around and seems to be surprised to see Michael.

"It's you!" They said at the same time then Michael smiled.

"You know each other?" I ask with an eyebrow raised.

"Yeah. We bumped each other on school earlier." Michael answers.

"Is he, is he your brother too?" Summer asks me while pointing at Michael.

"Yeah. He is Michael by the way." I answered. "Mike, this is Summer."

They greeted each other hey as they shake hands.

"I didn't expect to see you here in our house." Michael says.

"Yeah, me either." Summer agreed.

"Well, it's our house." He laughs.

Then suddenly, jealousy kicks in to me causing me to grab Summer's wrist and pull her.

"We'll be in the kitchen, Mike." I tell Michael as I bring Summer with me.

"Bye, Michael!" She exclaims.

Back in the kitchen..

"Why did you drag me?" Summer asks.

"Cause we are cooking." I answer. I have no idea what's the right thing to say so I kinda lied into it then Summer frowns.

"What?" I asked, a bit annoyed.

"You are being stubborn again." She says as she raise an eyebrow.. Which I find really hot.

I lifted a corner of my lip forming a small smile as I look at her, seconds later, she smiled at me and we laughed a little.

"You are crazy, Calum Wayland." She chuckles.

I continued cooking some food for us, only the two of us, I didn't include my brothers. I asked some maids to bring the foods on our terrace rooftop, where a small pool and a Jacuzzi is with some lounge chairs and mini bar.

"Whoa." Summer's jaw is dropping again. "This is your rooftop?" She asks while staring at the whole rooftop view.

"Uhm, yeah. Don't you like it?"

"Don't I like it? Are you kidding? It's wicked!" She answers, facing me.

"Well, glad you like it." I said but kinda questioned.

I lead the way going to the table where the foods are. Our table is a glass one with a wooden stand and chairs, just like what we you usually see at the hotel lounge. Ashton designed the rooftop and it's pretty rad, the way he placed things are perfect to match our personas. This is where we go to chill our heads out from the pressure of the mafia world or just to relax from school days, though I am not really into that shit.

"Your place is really cool guys." Summer praised as we eat.

"Thanks. Ashton designed this rooftop."

"Awesome. You guys are cool."

"Thanks."

Summer is.. I don't know how to describe her, there are no words coming into my mind to describe her. We are in the middle of a decent dinner when my phone buzzed from my pocket.

"Excuse me, Summer. I have to take this call." I stand up as she nods quietly. I walked away so she could not hear whatever this conversation will be.

"Talk to me." I said on my phone's speaker, on the other line is a trusted mafia member of our side, his name is Hero.

"Hey, Calum. There will be a mafia gathering the day after tomorrow that will be hosted by your parents." Hero says, then suddenly I remembered that there will be a party the day after tomorrow, it was planned months ago. It is a celebration of our mafia anniversary, 25th year to be exact. Good thing Hero reminded me.

"Thanks for reminding me, Hero."

"Not a problem, see you then. Tell your brothers too."

"I will. Thanks again." Then the call ended and I went back on the table.

"Thanks for this dinner, Calum." Summer smiled.

"Not a problem."

Then an idea popped into my head, and that is, inviting her to the party.

"Uhm, Summer.."

"Hmm?" He mumbles as she wipes her chin with the napkin.

"There will be a party on the next day, not tomorrow though.."

"Uhm, okay?" She looks confused.

"I was wondering if you.. You know.. Want to come with me?" My heart is on a rate of beating for I don't know how many per second.

"Oh.. What kind of party?"

"A formal one." Then her face went pale a bit.

"You mean, rich people and shit?" I like the way she talks, it's amusing me.

"I guess so." I am not sure if I said the answer she is looking for.

"I'm not rich. I won't fit." She answers.

"That doesn't matter. I want you to come with me." I say, almost demanding, or requesting? Mostly demanding.

"I don't have any outfits for that." She reasons out.

"You can borrow the outfits of my brothers' girlfriends." Her eyes widened in surprise.

Mafia Parties, it is like those usual parties, you'll never know that you are partying or you are surrounded by mafia members. Just think of the usual rich shit party. Elegant dresses, jewelries, cars, extravagant party venue, designs, foods and everything that makes that party whatever. That's it.

"Excuse me?" She says, dropping my thoughts on the floor.

"What?" I pulled my brows together.

"I can't just borrow things from your brothers' girlfriends." She exclaimed.

"And why not?"

"I don't know them and they don't even know me!" Her voice is a bit louder. Are we fighting? God this is confusing. She's being stubborn and I admit that I am a stubborn shit too and this is clashing us.

"Fine." I give up.

"I'm sorry. I just don't like to be judged. I'm not rich and I don't belong there. I don't even have an outfit for that kind of events." She frowned.

"Do you wanna swim?" I ask her as I turn my gaze at the pool behind her.

"I don't have clothes with me."

"Use mine after. I won't mind." Again, her eyes went a bit bigger again with my words.

Summer's POV

This dinner with Calum went great, his cooking is delicious and I loved it. Their rooftop is amazing also, really amazing. The night sky is a perfect view when you look up, the lighting of the rooftop is perfect too, it matches the whole place.

"What?" I squint.

Calum asked me for a swim but I don't have anything with me, just my school books and myself, then he said that I can use his clothes after. What is with this guy? I have this assuming shit that maybe he likes me, but I can't really tell. Maybe he's just that kind to lend people his clothes, or maybe, that's what he do to the girls she's dating. And that made my blood boil for some unknown reason. Do I like him? Well, his face is squishy but I barely know him. I kinda like Michael more because he's the happy one, Luke is a bit snobbish and I don't know who the other one is. But there is something about Calum that I can't resist, it's like a magnet pulling me into him.

"Fine, just drive me home after." I said, I can't even believe that I said that, that I agreed to wear his clothes. He smiled at my answer.

"I'll go down for a while to grab some towels." He said then he walked off.

I stand up and sit down at the pool gutter with my feet soaked in the water. The water is relaxing, not too hot, not too cold. I wiggled my feet gently, feeling the water waves I am making by moving my legs.

"Uhm, hello?" A voice distracted me, I turn around to see a tall guy with eyeglasses and a curly hair. His voice is gentle and soft and a bit of a high pitch when he said the word hello, his accent is kicking in.

I am about to stand on my feet when he said, "No, it's okay. Enjoy the pool." Then he smiled, showing his deep dimples.

"Hi, I'm Ashton." He says as he sit down along me with his feet and some legs also soaked in the water.

"I'm Summer." I smile.

"Who are you with, Summer?"

"Calum." Then his expression drifted to a surprised one.

"Really?" He chuckles then I nod.

"Well then, have a great evening." He said before standing up in his feet.

I watch him made his way back the house then Calum came in, they stopped and talked for a while. I am not sure what they talked about but I saw Calum laughed a little with towels in his hands. Then he pats Ashton's back as they collide ways. Calum placed the towels in the lounge chairs before sitting beside me.

"So, you met Ashton already."

"Uh-huh." I nod. "Good looks really runs in your blood huh?" Did I just said that? Damn, way to go Summer. I heard Calum chuckle for a while, and it sounds really cute.

"How do you like the water?" He asks me as he place his legs down the water.

"The water is cool. It's relaxing." I answer.

"Why don't you go down then?"

"I'm scared." I answer as I look down at the water.

"Why?" His voice is concern and curious. His head is tilted on his side with his brows pulled together.

"I don't know how to swim." I shyly answered, again, I feel embarrassed, ladies and gentlemen.

Then I heard Calum let out a breath before the sound of the water splashing. I looked at the pool and saw Calum approaching me. He offered a hand to me and a smile.

"Come on, I'll hold you to swim." He said, I almost melt at his words. I took his hand and joined him in the pool.

I can say that the pool is kinda deep, well, all of them are tall. My heart is racing at the thought the water level is on my chin. I looked at Calum and saw that the water level is just a bit above his chest, and suddenly, I just realized now that he is shirtless.

"You ready?" He ask me then I nod.

Calum lead the with our hands intertwined to the middle of the pool.

"Chill and just enjoy the pool, okay?" He told me as he look in to my eyes, without my permission, I nod yes to his word. Then he slowly lets go of my hand and swim away to me.

"Calum!" I screamed then he laugh. I tried to move but I am too scared, but he laughs harder that's why I turned my back and walk, as I walk further, the pool level is getting deeper and my heart beat started to race again, why do I suck in swimming? Dammit. Then, I screamed when slipped and I feel like something cut my feet.

"Calum!" I yelled while wagging my hand, my feet is hurting and I feel blood rushing out. I heard water splashes everywhere, the next thing I knew, there is a body beside me and an arms around me.

"I got you." Calum whispers in my ear then I nod. He is holding me in his arm on the side while he uses his other arm to balance us in the water by waving it a little underwater.

Calum started to walk going to the other side of the pool where the steps are. He is pulling me with him by his arm, I feel so embarrassed, whatever happened to my shit today? I stare at Calum as we make our way, he's hot and sexy, his body is perfect, with all those muscles, abs and biceps that matches his fit body physique.

Calum pulled me up gently as I lift my wounded foot. He helped me walk till I sit down in lounge chair.

"Sorry about that." He apologized as looks at my bleeding foot while he's on his knee on the ground.

"It's not your fault." I tell him.

He grabbed the white towel and wrapped my feet into it, without minding about the stain that the towel will have because of the blood.

"Come on inside, let's treat that wound." He said then he lifted and carry me up in a bridal way. His hand on my back and below my butt. I am surprised and in disbelief that he would do that. I am glancing at him at the corner of my eyes as he walks back inside going to his room. We stopped in a front of a black door with a metal doorknob.

"Could you turn the knob?" He asks me.

I reached for the knob and twisted it open. The door opened and a king sized bed is the first thing I see. Calum walks in and closed the door by kicking it back. He lowered me down to his white covered bed and let me sit even though I am still dripping wet from the pool water. I looked around and saw Calum opened a big closet and it's full, he bent down to open a drawer. He turns around with another towel on his hands. He walked back and stop in front of me. He sits down on the floor and took my wounded foot. He gently pressed he towel into the open wound, later on, the maid that Calum talked to a while ago as we walk going here came in with a first aid kit box.

Calum opened the box and started to treat my wound. I am looking at him as some water drops to his legs from his hair.

"Sorry for what happened." He said, still focused on treating my wound.

"Hey, it's not your fault. I'm the one who's stupid earlier." I chuckle.

"Glad you know that." He laughed a little.

I smile at his caring action. Then suddenly, I started to wonder on how many girlfriend/s did he have before? Does he have a girlfriend right now? He is nice and caring and sweet, but a bit stubborn but it's cute. I want to reach for his face but I can't, it's weird. He might freak out or something. I continued watching his as he wraps a bandage at my injured foot.

"That'll be okay soon." He says as he fix up the first aid kit.

"Thanks, Calum." I shyly said.

"I'll call a maid to help you up to dress in dry clothes."

"Sorry I got your bed wet."

"That's okay, everybody gets wet." He winked as my eyes widened at his words.

"You pervert!" I laugh then he joins in.

As he walks going to a table with a telephone, I started to look around the room. The color of the room is black and white, it is simple but classy and I already feel comfortable in here. The bed lies in the middle of the room with a painting hanging in the wall above the headboard. The painting is a simple abstract, stroke of different line colors. There are lamps on both side on the bed, but it is the one that is place in the wall, not your typical lamp on a table. The room is huge, there a flat screen TV just across the bed, a DVD player and CDs in the shelf below it. There is also a study table with some books at the right side on the room. The room is doesn't have much that appliances, on the left side is another door, just beside the closet that Calum opened a while ago. I think that is the bathroom.

Later on, a knock hits the door and Calum opened it to see a maid standing outside the door. The maid made her way in and helped me up. Calum went out of the room and closed the door. The maid who I think is not older than 30 help me dried up, she has a sweet face with some wrinkles on her forehead. I think she is a bit stressed? I wonder what kind of a boss the Waylands are but I'm too shy to ask. She bid me a sweet goodbye after the help. I am now dried up and covered in towel. I looked at the black shirt that is placed on the bed, Calum's shirt to be exact. And an underwear.. For me? My eyes widened at the thought of the underwear, I looked closer at the underwear and it looks okay, not used and brand new. Where the heck did they got this? The price tag is is even still attached to it, I laughed a little to it. Did he ask the maid to buy this? I am now laughing at the thought. I placed the towel down in the bed and wore the black shirt. It smells like Calum actually, it is a bit long for me but still above my knees, but I like it. I wore the underwear too since I don't have any choice. The sound of the door opening bolted me causing me to look at it. It's Calum and he is still shirtless, but he's dry already and his hair is a bit messy, messy in a good way, making him more hotter to look at. I bit my lower lip at the thought.

"You okay?" He asks me as he walks to me.

"Yeah. Thanks for lending me this." I say as I rake my hand down over his shirt

He stops in front of me and locked his eyes to mine, he extended an arm and his fingers touched my cheeks. He smiled into it as the back of his fingers run into my face. I shiver at his touch and feel some electric shit running inside my body, my heart beats faster a he moves closer. He reached for the back of my head and pulls me to him, my eyes widened the moment my face hits his hard chest. But in some ways, inside me is that.. I like it, I have no idea why. I felt his lips landed on my head for a long second.

"You should sleep now, it's getting late." He says with a low, sincere voice.

I looked up at him. "I need to go home."

"Don't you consider this as home?" He asked looking at me while running his fingers on my hair.

What does he mean about it? He wants me to consider their place as my home? But why? I am starting to think that Calum is being crazy, but there is really something about him that gets through me, I wanna stay with him but my parents will kill me.

"It's late though, and I am too tired to drive." Calum tells me as he place my head again on his chest and rest his head over mine.

"Where will I sleep then?"

"In the bed of course."

"Fine, but I'll wake up early tomorrow to go home."

"Okay then, goodnight, Summer." He tells me before kissing my head again.

He lets me go from his grip and watch me as I turn around to look at the big bed. He helped me walk going to the bed as he hold me carefully in my one arm, my foot still stings if pressured to step. He tucks the blanket to me as I stay at the other side of the bed, I closed my eyes as I turn around the other side, facing the free space of the bed. Seconds later, I felt someone climbing into the bed, I immediately opened my eyes to see Calum is now occupying the free space of the bed.

"Why are you here?" I ask him.

"Well, this is my room and this is my bed." Then he moved closer to me and wrapped his arms around me. My head on his chest and his head on my hair.
