*Calum POV*
This was the night, the night I would finally see the smile on my gorgeous girlfriends face. Now, you see, I’ve been on tour with my band 5SOS and every single night I Skype my girlfriend, Ashley. Ashley is the most perfect girlfriend I could ever hope for. Long brown hair, chocolate brown eyes and a smile that melts my heart every time I see it. Today was Ashley’s birthday, and I wanted to surprise her. She thinks that I’m in America playing a gig, but really, I’m at the club planning her massive 18th birthday.
*Ashley POV*
I was so disappointed that Cal couldn’t come home for my birthday. I haven’t seen him in so long. Sure we exchange Skype videos, but I want to touch him, cuddle him, and feel the warmth of energy running through our hands when we walk hand in hand together. I understand that he has a concert to play, but it would be great just to see his face and kiss him. My birthday was so special and filled with all the people I love, there was just one person missing, and that was Calum.
“Ash, Hello, Ash!!!” Jemaya said as she clicked her fingers in front of my trying to get me out of my trance.
“Oh, sorry just daydreaming again” I replied while rubbing the sleep off my eye.
“Oh you! I know what will cheer you up, Some shopping!” Jemaya exclaimed as she grabbed my hand and her long grey jacket.
I gave a quick smile as we went in the car, trying to seem as happy as I can. We arrived at the store, that was totally overpriced and posh looking.
“Jemaya! We can’t afford any of these things!” I whispered to her as I checked price tags.
“Calm! Don’t worry, I’ve got the money! Just…erh… take it as an ‘early birthday present’…. I guess” She said as she gave me a witty cheeky smile.
Something caught my eye. It was a knee length, strapless red polka-dot dress. In some ways it reminded me of Minnie mouse!
“I love it!” I said while grabbing the material in-between my fingers.
“That’s the dress then” Jemaya smiled as she grabbed the dress and gave it to the smutty posh looking cashier.
In a flash of the eye, we were out of there and into the car. We were in the city and I was very unfamiliar with the neighbourhood. Jemaya pulled up at the servo station carpark and opened my door.
“Go get dressed, pronto” she said as she put the clutch into her new jeep.
“What? What do you mean?” I stuttered to her. But she pushed me out and refused to open the doors until I went into the dirty bathrooms to get changed.
I finally got changed and put on some light blush and mascara to my pearly face. I clipped half of my hair up into a smile ponytail with small bits hanging out. The dress looked more incredible than I have ever imagined. I felt flawless. I walked back to the green jeep to see Jemaya yapping away on the phone. As soon as she saw me her eyes went huge and hung up immediately.
“Who was that?” I said worriedly while hopping into the car.
“Um just um my mum” she snapped as she put the keys in the ignition.
Before I could say anything she changed subject.
“You look beautiful!” She said as she sped away.
“I wish someone special would notice that” I brushed off the compliment and pouted.
Jemaya knew I was talking about Calum. I was thankful for Jemaya though, that she distracted me from thinking about missing him today. It was getting dark, and I began to feel sketchy about the neighbourhood we were in.
“Ah, Jemaya do you know where we are?” I asked while looking out the tinted windows.
“I know perfectly were we are” She smiled as she pulled up in front of an award winning club.
“What are we doing now? Please you’ve spent so much money on me today and I don’t want you to spend more going to a club” I replied as we stepped out the deep car.
“Oh C’mon! Just one drink” She convinced me.
We entered the club and everything was dark. But in a blink of the eye, everything in the room lighted up.
“SURPRISE” everyone screamed.
Everything was a blur. All I could focus one was the tall, lean boy standing in front of me. It was Calum. He flew from America, just to see me.
*Calum POV*
That was the smile I’ve been longing to see. Ashley ran up to me and I opened my arms wanting to feel the softness of her lips on mine.
“BABY!” Ashley yelled as she joined with me, wiping away the tears from her eyes.
“I’VE MISSED YOU SO MUCH” I said to her while cuffing her cheeks in my hands and slowly kissing her on her head.
“Hey listen, I’ve got a present for you” I smiled as I lifted her cute head of my chest.
“I don’t need any presents, I’ve got you back in my life” Ashley replied will kissing me on the cheek.
“Just close your eyes” I said to her while turning her around. “Open” I whispered into her ears.
*Ashley POV*
I was so astonished; this was the most incredible birthday ever. I looked down and there wrapped around my shaken neck was a heart shaped necklace. I opened the clip, and tears started going down my eyes. It was a picture of Cal and I, when we first started dating. It was our first kiss, on New Year’s Eve. It was perfect.
“Do you like it baby?” Cal asked while nervously waiting for a reply.
“I love you so much Calum” I said while giving him a passionate kiss.
“I love you so much more Ashley” He replied while stroking my hair.
Hours went past, and I didn’t let Calum go. Through the night we stayed together, we took pictures with one another, danced crazily, kissed so much that my cheeks hurt, and were the perfect boyfriend and girlfriend. It was the end of the party and we were at the club doors thanking every person for coming.
*Calum POV*
“Let’s go baby” I said knowing what the next surprise was.
I grabbed her hand and took her up to the hotel room upstairs, there we cuddled, gave eachother strawberries and gave small passionate kisses. In moments, she fell asleep in my arms. I grabbed the small necklace on her neck while brushing the hair from her glowing smile.
“I love you so much Ashley, you are the most perfect girl I’ve ever had, and I’m still astonished that you would want a silly guy like me. Your my princess, and I’ll always treat you like that. Happy birthday Angel” I smiled while snuggling into her and placing a small kiss on her head.
