He woke to a body sprawled over top of his and breathing in his ear.

His body tensed up and all the blood rushed to somewhere he wished it wouldn't.

"Crap," he muttered, trying to pry the body off the top of him so he could take a cold shower.

"Stop."

He froze. It was Bella. He swallowed the rather large lump in his throat and brushed a strand of hair away from her forehead.

Her lips were right by his ear, breathing heavily. One tiny movement and they would be brushing against his skin lightly.

"Bella."

"Mmm." She made no attempt whatsoever to move.

"Bella-Marie."

"Don't use my full name." Her voice was tinged with a sleepy tone as well as annoyance.

"Bella-Marie Valerie Rodriguez?"

"Calum Thomas Hood. You're getting on my nerves."

"You're already on mine."

She huffed and sat up, straddling him.

"Is this how you say good morning to your girlfriend?" She teased.

"We're dating, oh my God."

"Mhmm."

She flicked a stray hair over her shoulder. "Actually, we haven't been on a proper date yet."

"Yeah."

There was an awkward silence.

"Wait."

"What?"

"You have no pants on."

"I don't sleep with them on."

He felt his cheeks heating up. "So you slept with me with no pants."

"Yes."

He sucked his bottom lip into his mouth.

"Is there something wrong with sleeping without pants, Cal?"

His heart rose at the nickname, and he tried not to show his excitement. "N-No."

"So where are we going for our date?"

"I thought we were going to Luna Park?"

"No," Calum rushed. "The face scares me."

Bella laughed at that. "Okay, so where?"

"Do you like the beach?"

"This is going to be terrible, I can feel it."

"Oh shush," Calum scolded, setting the blanket down and putting the picnic basket down on it. "It means we can cuddle."

"You should know by now that I hate cuddling."

"Well, I love cuddling. So you'll have to deal with it."

Bella just raised an eyebrow at Calum as he tried to fix the candles.

"You know if those fall over, they'll start a fire."

"That's why they aren't real candles. Vela," Calum added to annoy her. It worked.

"Vela means candle," Bella said, sitting down on the blanket.

"Candles are bright and they shine. You're my candle, you guide me through the dark."

Bella rolled her eyes at Calum's cheesiness.

"Come on Vela."

"Shut up Cal-culator."

He gasped in fake hurt and placed a hand over his heart. "How dare you insult me!"

"Oh shush." She pulled her cardigan tighter around her body and flicked her hair over her shoulder.

"Let's get this date started, huh?"
