{Calli}

The next morning I wake up with the biggest smile on my face. I look down and realize I'm still in my dress from last might. I lay down a little longer reminiscing the night. A sudden thought pops into my mind. I told Austin I loved him. He said it back too. An even bigger smile creeps on my face. I remember that today I'm showing Austin his surprise. I jump out of bed and hurry into the shower. Once I'm done I put on my tights with an oversized t-shirt and I braid my hair back.

I walk down the hall to Calum's room to make sure he's awake. Before I even get to the door he's walking out.

"Hey Calum!" I call. He turns around and waves at me.

"Hey. You ready?" He asks excitedly.

'I'm nervous. I really hope he likes this." I answer him.

"I'm sure he'll love it." Calum says putting an arm around me. "We've worked so hard on this."

Two weeks before Valentine's day I met with Calum because I wanted to plan a surprise for Austin. I wanted to come up a routine that showed just how much I cared about him. Calum was all for it. We spent every minute we could together working on it. We practiced lifts and jumps numerous times. Finally we have the routine down and ready to perform for Austin. I knock on his door, then leave a note and run down the hall. The note tells him to meet me on the stage he's performing on tonight.

Calum and I rush to the stage. He stands backstage waiting. Finally Austin comes in.

He walks in smiling at me. I walk over and hug him. He pulls away to softly kiss me. "What's up babe?" He asks. "Why'd you want me to meet you here?"

I push him to sit in a chair on stage. "Because I want to give you your Valentine's Day present."

Austin pulls my hips so I'm sitting in his lap. "I don't want anything from you."

I kiss him then stand up. "Too bad. You're going to love this." Calum walks out from backstage.

Austin looks slightly hurt "What's going on?"

"Calum and I have been working on something I wanted to give you." I say. I walk back towards him. "I wanted to show you how I feel about you."

Austin smiles and grabs my hand. "I already know."

I blush and put my other hand on his cheek. "I know, but you made last night so special for me. I want to give you something, hopefully, just as special." I back away and stand by Calum.

He holds the remote to a stereo. He presses play, before throwing it off to the side. The song Turning Page begins, and we dance. *routine from So You Think You Can Dance on the side*

Calum and I don't notice, but while we perform the stadium fills with the other dancers, and people on the crew watching us. We finish the routine and everyone cheers. Calum and I bow at our crowd. Austin walks up to me smiling.

"So what'd you think?" I ask putting my arms around his neck.

"That was incredible." He gushes. "I forgot what an amazing contemporary dancer you are."

I feel the redness in my cheeks rising. "I'm glad you liked it. I wanted to give you something that shows how much I," I pause before I say, "how much I love you."

Everyone around us "awes." Austin does a nervous laugh before smiling at me. "I love you too, Calli." He leans down to kiss me, as everyone "awes" and whistles at us.

We break away laughing. Austin's mom walks up to us. "Calli that was absolutely beautiful."

"Thank you." I say. "I'm glad y'all liked it."
