CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
by the time the pair had finished their second game, it was 4 o'clock. london was quiet at this time of day , so calum felt more at ease with walking around with olive. its not that he was embarrassed of her. no, he loved her. he was worried about what his fans would do to her.
some of his fans, the '5sosfam' as they called themselves, were fully supportive of the boys having girlfriends. they didn't make a fuss, they spread positive messages about their relationship and they tried to simmer out any negativity the fans , who would scream and shout about how much they hated them 24/7, were saying. calum knew that olive, being so close to the edge already, would not be able to handle it.
there was also another thing he was worried about, but.. he wasn't ready to tell her. it would ruin their whole relationship, and if she found out, she would be broken. so would calum.
he rid his head of these thoughts, and looked at their entwined fingers. he loved how much their hands fit together as if it was meant to be. it was almost like a jigsaw and olive was the missing peice.
"oh, look, a park! can we go to the playground?" olive asks, looking up at calum. calum smiles at her, nodding, and they make their way into the park. "the last time i went to a playground was years ago."
olive runs for the swings as soon as they are in sight. calum follows her at the same pace, sitting on the swing beside her. he pushes off, being able to see above the trees. he looked beside him, seeing olive picking at her nails. he jumps off the swing and stands next to olive's swing. he runs a hand through her hair, making her look up at him. " what's wrong?"
calum was beyond confused when olive shook her head, but then it hit him. "its alright, baby." olive hadn't been to a park in so long that she had forgotten how to use a swing.
he stands behind olives swing and begins to push. "hold on tight." she was laughing, and looking everywhere. "cal, this is so cool!" she says.
calum continues to push olive on the swing until he gets tired. "thank you." she says, walking over to him and wrapping her arms around his waist. he leans down so their foreheads are touching and whispers "my pleasure, darling" before giving her a lingering kiss. "i love you,calum."
"i love you more, olly." he says. she chuckles slightly "doubt it."

olive plays with calum's fingers as she sits on calum's lap under a big tree, facing him. "my chemical romance?" she asks.
"that's not even a question, 10/10. the used?" the couple were playing a game where they name bands and the other gives them a mark out of ten. "9 and a half. they're amazing but i feel like if i keep giving tens out so freely then if i give anyone a mark other than ten it will seem as if im insulting them." she laughs.
"true. i love the used, they just speak to me, you know?" olive nods and kisses him on the nose before standing up. "i know. now let's get home."
they had been in the park for two and a half hours and it was already starting to go despite it only being 6:30. olive loves the night time, but not out in the middle of london. she likes lying on the grass in the suburbs so you can see the stars. the only star she could see here was calum, but honestly, that was enough to keep her satisfied.
