"Jesus Christ that's a big ass bag of cheese."

I was trying to cook Calum dinner as a "surprise", but he came over an hour earlier than I told him too and so now he's making annoying comments while I try to make tacos.

"Yeah, me and Luke went through like 3 bags in a day so Liz just bought a pound bag because it was cheaper."

"Who eats three bags of cheese in a day?"

"Me. Now shut up I'm trying to cook." I was trying not to burn the taco meat, but Calum kept distracting me.

"How would you eat the cheese though?"

"I don't know, I melt it in a bowl and eat it."

"That sounds disgusting."

"Hey don't make fun of my cheese eating habits, I could just completely burn this and then you wouldn't have dinner."

"I could order pizza." I shook my head and turned down the heat on the stove, then going to the fridge to get tortillas and stuff. I told Calum to put our tacos together while I went to change. Liz's kitchen got extremely hot whenever you tried to cook anything, so I was in volleyball shorts and a tank top, pouring sweat. I washed my face and pulled my hair into my usual braid. I changed into a pair of blue jean shorts and my new Imagine Dragons shirt I had bought online. When I came back in the kitchen Calum had set two places at the table and surprising waited for me before eating. His tacos of course had everything he could possibly find and mine had nothing but meat and cheese.

After eating, we decided to go to one of those trampoline parks. Neither of us said it, but I guessed it was our second date. Once again the drive was pretty long, but this time I turned up the radio and we obnoxiously sang those horrible dance songs. It didn't fit either of our music tastes, but that was all the radio ever played anymore. Once the radio went to commercials I turned it down so we could finally talk.

"Have you ever been to a trampoline park before?" Calum asked me.

"No, I've always wanted to, but I never had anyone to go with." I blushed a little thinking about how much my anxiety has gotten in the way of my life. I was amazing how much it had improved lately though.

"Ah man you're going to love it, they have trampolines all around the walls and a foam pit and even a dodge ball court." I laughed at how excited he was. Calum could go from being the most mature teenager I'd ever met to a 5 year old boy in 2 seconds flat.

"I already know I'm going to love it, because you'll be there." Of course whenever I make a comment like that I blush and look away. But this time Calum reached over and pulled my head up to look him the eyes. He leaned in a short, but sincere kiss on my lips. Whenever he kissed me it felt like I was melting away, it was pure bliss. Just the thought sent a tingle down my spine. We eventually made to the indoor trampoline park and after signing several waivers we were given an hour to do whatever we wanted.

Of course Calum ran to the foam pit, attempting to do a backflip, but ending up just diving. I immediately started laughing at him as he tried to dig his way out the pit.

"Oh you think you can do better?" he said as he made his way back to me.

"Is that a challenge?"

"Of course."

"You're on." Little did he know I had taken dance for 5 years and still knew a bunch of gymnastic moves from it. After completely a perfect backflip, I walked back over to Calum with a huge smirk on my face.

"How did you do that!"

"I took dance for 5 years." I said like it was obvious.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"You never asked." After that I ran off into the actual trampolines. Calum stood there for a bit longer just watching me and smiling before running back over to me. I started to jump away from him as fast as possible while he chased me. I was laughing as Calum was jumping after me, he looked like a complete idiot. Soon enough he caught up grabbing me by my waist and swinging me around in the air.

"Stop! Put me down you dork!" I yelled. Of course he listened and dropped me directly on my back. I seized the opportunity to grab his ankle and drag him down with me. No one else, but a few people playing dodge ball were there so I moved my head so it was on his chest and he put his arm around me. It was like we molded perfectly together.

"Are you having fun?" he asked after a bit of silence.

"I've never done anything like this before of course it's fun."

"Can I kiss you now?" I wasn't big on PDA but no one was around so I nodded. His lips moved against mine in perfect rhythm, sending tingles down my spine once again. I moved my head to the side so he could deepen it, soon it became heated, I sat up a bit and rubbed my hands through his hair. His hands rubbed against the bare skin on my hip where my shirt had started to slide up a bit. I had to force myself away. We sat together panting for a bit until they announced our hour was up.

I had forgotten a jacket since it was rather warm earlier but now there was a chill in the air. Calum must've noticed the goosebumps on my arms as he threw his own around my shoulders. I just smiled and whispered "smooth" to which he replied "I try." The whole dating thing hadn't really changed how we acted around each other, besides the kissing and stuff, it was just a label. Calum and I were so much more than a label though. He helped me in ways I never thought anyone could. He helped me see I'm not worthless and that not everyone I talk to will judge. I guess in a way he was fixing me.
