"Eastminister next," Calum suggested as they walked down the street.
"You're doing that on purpose."
"Go and visit Small Ben."
"How many times?"
"And the London Thigh."
"Stop it." She shoved him lightly.
"We can go to Fucking ham palace."
Noelle walked ahead, moving her hand from Calum's grip. She made her way down the stairs of the tube station and sat on the bench to wait for the next one.
"Lube station," Calum whispered as he sat down next to her.
"I hate you." Calum put his arm around Noelle and kissed her temple. The loud noise of the tube reverberated off the walls and light breeze reigned. They walked onto the crowded tube and found a small space to stand. Calum didn't mind because he got to be close to Noelle.
"Where are we going?" He asked as the tube jolted in motion.
Noelle shrugged. "Just get off at a random place."
"Spontaneous."
Calum grabbed Noelle's hand as the doors opened and clusters of people all rushed off. They clambered the flights of stairs to the exit.
"I see the London Thigh," Calum gasped. "And Small Ben."

"Can you take a picture with me for instagram?" Calum asked Noelle when they stopped at a spot with a great view.
"No," She answered quickly.
"Why not?" He whined.
"I'll get hate."
"I will tell people to be nice to you."
"That's just lame. I don't take pictures."
"You're not taking the picture. I am."
"Fine," She gave in.
Calum grinned and held his phone out.
He put his free arm around Noelle's waist and pressed his lips to her cheek.
"You aren't even smiling and you're looking at the floor," Calum laughed as he looked at the picture.
"I don't do pictures."
"Wait." Calum walked over to the passing stranger.
"Calum are–" Noelle didn't carry on the sentence because the stranger had just nodded and was being handed Calum's phone.
"So what am I supposed to do in this picture?" Noelle groaned.
"Kiss me."
Calum placed his hands on her face, cupping her cheeks and kissed her. Every time he had kissed her he felt like everything around him had disappeared and also like there was a thousand butterflies in his stomach. He didn't make it a long kiss for obvious reasons and took back his phone, thanked the stranger and viewed the picture.
"It's cute. We're cute." He grinned at Noelle and wrapped his arm around her shoulder.
"I don't do anything with my arms," She sighed, resting her head on his shoulder.
"Thanks for this." He kissed the top of her head.
"Can we go eat?"
"Alright. Let me just post this."
"Ugh." She leant her arms on the stone wall, staring down at the river.
"What do I caption it with? Her name is Noelle, I had a–"
"No." Calum had already typed it out and tagged Noelle in it.
"I've posted it."
"Now let's go."

They went to a small Italian restaurant and ordered some fancy pasta dishes.
"Since you love me, can you tell me when you're releasing new music?" Noelle asked, fluttering her eyelashes and looking at Calum beseechingly.
"Soon."
"Have you ever had groupies?"
"Yes."
"How do you feel when you realise you wank with your parents' initials on your hand?"
"Don't mention it." Noelle bursted into laughter.
"I don't know what to ask you." She had a lot of questions she wanted to ask him but she had forgotten them all. So for the rest of the meal Calum asked her about the band and what her favourite songs are and how she found out about them.
