When We Said Forever.

Chapter 25

Why would Calum be taking me to the O2 arena tonight when i'm going to be there tomorrow night, I wondered to myself. That boy & his crazy plans. I had now spent the pass few hours since Oliver the messenger's arrival trying to come up with a reason Calum would want me to meet him at the O2, whilst distracting myself by watching 'Friends,' which seemed to have worked as it was now 5 and time to get ready for tonight. As i walked back up the stairs to the bathroom, my phone buzzed in my back pocket, indicating a new text.

CALUM:

Before you even ask- Wear something comfortable tonight :) xx

I chuckled, he knew me to well. Once up the stairs & into the bathroom, i decided first off to deal with my hair, which was dry now after my shower. It looked okay the way it was, so I decided to add sea salt spray to add to my waves & pinned my fringe back.

Quickly applying nude make-up, mascara & eyeliner, i then rushed to my bedroom in an absolute panic as to what i was going to wear tonight. Not knowing what this visit to the O2 was about, or who would be there was really stressing me out, although i was secretly glad that Calum had text me saying to wear something comfortable.

Several different outfits later, our room was a pig stye with clothes now everywhere, a shirt had even landed on the lamp accidentally; a sign that i was truly stressing about tonight, but i had finally decided on what to wear; classic black skinny jeans & one of Cal's tshirts, which i hoped would be appropriate for tonight. Pulling on my combat boots & taking one last look in the mirror i hurtled down the stairs as i heard a knock at the door & before i knew it Oliver was escorting me to the black Range Rover parked out the front & taking off, in what i hoped was the direction of O2.

The car trip with Oliver was awkward to say the least & i spent the majority of the 20 minute ride looking out the window as Oliver clung to the steering wheel. London was truly beautiful, especially at this time of day, and i found myself wanting to explore more of the city before leaving.

Finally we pulled into the back entrance of the arena where I was greeted by a beaming Calum, who opened my door for me & instantly pulled me into a tight hug.

"I missed you today" He whispered in my ear, making me even more nervous than i already was.

"I missed you to" i whispered back, before yelling my thanks to Oliver, as he got into the car and drove away. 

"So Hood, what's your extravagant plans for this evening?" I questioned, wantig to know the reason I was here. 

"Well, I know just how much you were enjoying being a lazy-ass and sitting on the couch, most likely watching Friends. So I thought i'd ruin all of that for you & make you come out here to keep my company." He joked, nudging my shoulder as we entered the arena. 

"Real funny Cal! I'll have you know that I had quite a productive day, thank you very much." I defeneded myself. 

"You're a bad liar Keels" He replied, pulling me closer to his side, and lightly kissing my temple. 

We walked through a few rooms and massive hallways, Calum goofing off on his way to wherever he was taking me, doing skids on the tiles and pretending to swoon over posters of Chris Brown that were announcing his upcoming tours & I couldn't miss the opportunity for a photo of Calum fanboying over Chris, so I quickly pulled out my phone to take a great picture, which would make a great joke someday. 

"I can only imagine the shenannigans you and the boys get up to in these hallways" I laughed. 

"Well, we try, but Ashton always gets us busted because he giggles too loudly, blowing our cover." He pouted. 

"That giggle is troublesome" I agreed, bursting into a fit of my own giggles at the thought of Ashton getting them into trouble. 

"Security get really annoyed with him" Calum chuckled. "Like the other day we were all in the showers together" He began. 

"Okaaaaay, hold up. That is something I do not want to hear about!" I interrupted. 

"You don't wanna hear about Michael's nudey run through the bathroom?" He joked. 

"That is one thing I can go without hearing, I don't even wanna think about that!" I squealed. 

"Fine!" Calum huffed in mock annoyance. "How about I show you the real reason I bought you here" He smiled at me. 

"Sounds like a plan" I replied, taking his outstretched hand, as he led me through a wide set of doors. 

"Calum..." I began.  "Where are we? It's pitch black in here." 

"This wasn't in the plan!" he groaned, leading me over to what I assumed was a wall, and suddenly the lights flooded the room, iluminating the arena, leaving me absolutely speechless. 

"Wow" was all i managed to say. 

"It's big, huh" Calum said. 

"It's incredible!" I replied. "Look how far you boys have come!" I said, standing on my tip toes to kiss him quickly. 

"Well, I figured, tonights the only time we're ever going to have this arena to ourselves, and i figured, hey why not make the most of it" He said, making me laugh. 

Once again he took my hand in his and led me through the sea of seats and onto the stage where he had set up a rug. 

"oh, how romantic of you" I winked at him, as he walked off stage to grab a basket of what i assumed would be food. 

"Romantic is my middle name" he winked back at me, pulling out a plate a take away bag. 

"Yeah, gotta say, nandos is really the highlight of any date" I laughed at him. 

"Hey now! I was on tight time restrictions & Nandos was the closest place to here!" He defended himself with a laugh. 

"You're an idiot!" I giggled, as he leant over, pulling me in, and attaching his lips to mine. 

Author's Note: Short update, because I honestly don't even know what this is anymore. Sorry it took me so long to update, i will try my best to update more in the future! :) 

Also: Just wanna say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the real life Keely, I hope Calum pops out of your cake tomorrow. ;)
