bitches love cake

the one where your name is writen in the stars

I grumbled and opened my eyes to see my boyfriend jumping up and down on the bed I am, or was, sleeping on. I groaned louder and sat up; alerting him that I was awake. he jumped down into a sitting position and our little yorkie terrier ran into the room and hopped onto the bed and his lap.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABE! how's it feel to finally turn 30?" Calum smiled down at me as he absently petted Rayn. Calum had named her that because she has a huge fear of storms. I thought that was cruel but by the time I found out she was already responding to Rayn as her name. I smiled and rolled my eyes.

"30 feels the same as 29 babe" I leaned in and peck his lips before getting out of bed and heading towards the shower.

"well your ass still looks as good as it did before too" I rolled my eyes again and yelled back a "perv!" before grabbing my phone and unlocking it. the first thing that popped up was a calendar notification notifying me that it is my birthday and that I should check my screenshotted pictures?

I furrowed my eyebrows and went to my screenshots to see an old text conversation between me and Calum. I had cropped out most of the conversation and all I could see where three bubbles:

to: loocas poocas
from: clum clum
if we're not married by the time we're 30, I'll marry you Lukey [read 8:04pm]

to: clum clum
from: loocas poocas
promise? [read 8:07pm]

to: loocas poocas
from: clum clum
promise [read 8:10]

I couldn't help but smile at the texts and get a little excited. it's no secret I would like to spend the rest of my life with Calum but I also can't expect Calum to remember this and propose just because of my age. I was knocked out of my thinking by Calum banging on the bathroom door yelling at me to hurry up.

I kicked open the front door that night as Cal and I had just gotten home from spending the day together. every chance I got I looked extra hard at ways he could have proposed: in my wine glass at dinner, in my slice of birthday cake I ate, at the music store where I got a new guitar. I was a little fustrated but I tried not to let it show. I guess I didn't try hard enough.

"babe, what's wrong? I thought you enjoyed your birthday?" Calum asked me as he changed out of his jeans into a pair of sweatpants. I was sat on the bed tuning my new guitar.

"nothing, I enjoyed my birthday, really Cal" I looked up at him and he just stared back at me with a blank face. he knew, and I sighed.

"do you remember when we were still in secondary, and what you said about getting married?" he looked at the ceiling for a minute until he remembered and his face lit up.

"yes, I remember that! you said you'll be alone forever and I said that if we're not married at 30 I'll propose to you!" his child-like smile disappeared as soon as he understood what he said.

"oh, Lukey..." I looked down at my lap and squeezed my eyes shut tight, trying not to cry. I knew he forgot, I even forgot so why am I so suprised? I'm such an idiot.

"God, baby, I'm so sorry...it didn't even think..." he struggled to come up with words to make me feel better so I just shook my head.

"it's okay, I shouldn't have expected you to remember that, it obviously didn't mean anything" I didn't mean to make it seem like I was blaming him because that's not what I wanted to do at all, but I couldn't bring myself to care. Calum just looked down and nodded.

"well let's go to bed, can you turn out the light Luke?" I sighed and put my guitar in its case and walked across the room to the light switch. I turned it off but I still saw a light in the room. confused, I turned around to see a bunch of glow in the dark stars stuck to the ceiling shaped to spell the words LUKE, MARRY ME?

I covered my mouth in shock and looked over to Calum, who was on one knee, holding a ring box with a shit eating grin on his face.

"Lukey, I love you more than there are stars in the sky. will you marry me?" I nodded my head quickly and leaned down to give him a big hug. Calum buried his face into my neck and I could feel his smile.

"you gotta let me put the ring on babe" I sat up and held out my left hand and allowed him to slide the ring on my finger. "I can't believe you thought I didn't want to marry you; don't you know I love you Luke?"

"of course I know that, I just got a little paranoid" I chuckled as I took out my phone to take pictures of the glow stickers on the ceiling. Calum raised an eyebrow at my actions and I shrugged.

"what? my name is literally written in the stars"
