Connie awakened as the sun beamed through the thin tent. As she took in her surroundings she remembered the previous night and how perfect it was. She looked across and saw Cal sleeping peacefully. She was so lucky, she thought to herself.
"Wake up sleepyhead." She whispered to him, hoping that the rest of the day would be as amazing as the night. As he began to awaken, a smile crept onto his face as he realised where he was.
"Good morning beautiful." He said to her kissing her on the forehead as he said it. She pulled him in for a kiss only to be resisted. She turned away awkwardly, pretending to tie her hair up. Cal noticed this and laughed a little.
"I only pulled away because I have morning breath!" He said through various chuckles.
"Ah, and here was me thinking I'd done something wrong when in fact it's only cause you have a little insecurity." She teased.
"Well, I was only thinking of you but now you've said that..." He pulled her in for a kiss. He felt her smile on his lips and pulled away.
"How did I manage to get you?" He asked, tucking a piece of her hair behind her ear.
She leaned into him as he pulled his phone out of his pocket.
"Smile!" He said quickly, knowing she would not be one to appreciate a photo opportunity. Surprisingly, a smile covered her face and she looked at the camera.
"Now that is one for the photo album." Cal commented and allocated the photo to his lock screen.
"I'm hungry." Connie complained. Cal sat up and started looking through the bags to find some suitable breakfast food.
"On today's menu for breakfast we have either, a dairy milk, some blueberry muffins or cold pancakes."
"I think I will have a dairy milk and a blueberry muffin please." Connie said between laughs.
They sat in silence eating. Surprisingly the silence wasn't awkward, it was quite relaxing and gave them time to reflect on the previous night.
"So, what are we doing today?" She asked Cal.
"Well, I thought we could go shopping this morning, then have some lunch and come to mine and have a movie night. You could stay maybe, only if you wanted to."
"I'd love to, I need to go home and get some clothes though."
"Of course."

They packed up the tent and all of their belongings into the car making sure nothing was left behind. On the journey back home they played twenty questions, getting to know each other better by the minute. Once they arrived at Connie's house she jumped out of the car and went to go and back a bag. She chucked whatever she could find into it, making sure that she had enough clothes for a few days. Grabbing her phone charger and purse she ran back to the car to continue with their day.

A/N Sorry for the VERY late update, I've just gone back to school and I'm really busy.
