We were sitting in the back of a taxi, on the way to the mall. He grabbed my hand and laced our fingers together, I looked at him and smiled.

After awhile of riding, since we were't driving, we reached the mall. He paid the driver and we both got out. I was faced with a tall building with a sign that said "Chapel Hill Mall" In blue letters wrapped in a triangle.

"Wow. What are we doing here Cal?" I asked, turning and looking at him.

"We're going to do some small shopping before we have some real fun." He said with a smile on his face before pulling me into the mall. I looked up and seen a second floor and all around surrounded by stores, even a small train with a kid in it, roaming the second floor.

"Where to first?"

He pulled me up to the escalator, pulling me off once we reached the top and dragging me past a couple good stores and stopped right in front of Build-A-Bear.

"You brought me to a mall to build a bear?" I asked with a small chuckle.

"Yes. We're going to build a bear Tara. And it's going to be an awesome one." He laughed, pulling me inside.

We looked at the different animals and clothes, Calum grabbed a puppy and told me we had to use it. I said okay and we moved onto the clothes, he wanted the puppy to be a boy so I was looking at all the nice boy clothes when Calum came to me with a green superhero outfit.

"Super puppy?" I laughed.

"Why not? He can save the world from all the bad things." He laughed.

"Okay, what are we naming him?" I asked, holding the puppy.

"Cal-Pal."

I looked at him and smiled, nodding. "Cal-Pal it is."

He looked at me and smiled. We both walked to the stuffing machine. "How do you do this?" He asked, looking at the puppy and the machine confused.

I laughed and took the puppy from him, opening the back and sticking it on the machine, pressing the button.

"Okay professional" He laughed.

"Practice." I said, nudging him.

"Going on other build-a-bear dates? I feel hurt." He said, putting a hand over his heart.

"Oh yeah, I have tons of other bears." I said, rolling my eyes and taking the fully stuffed puppy off the machine. "Now just to add a message."

"I got that covered." He took the sound thing out of his pocket and put it in the open back of the puppy before zipping it up. He clothed it an put a sewed C in the middle. "There. Done."

"What does the message say?" I asked.

"You'll find out later." He said, taking the puppy from me and walking to the counter. He paid for it and they placed it in a yellow bag with a zipper. He said thank you and grabbed the bag with one hand and grabbing mine with the other, pulling me to the next store.

He stopped and glanced at Hot Topic, "Next time." He said, pulling me along and stopping into front of a store called The Love Store. I looked up at him confused.

"Oh, you'll love this store. Believe me." He said with a smirk, pushing me inside. I looked around and my mouth dropped open. The store was filled with toys...sex toys.

"Calum." I said, turning back around and looking at him.

"Just look around Tara. We don't have to buy anything. Although, I need something for tonight." He said, coming up and kissing me, before disappearing into the store.

"Oh boy. What am I getting myself into?" I said to myself, before walking around the store, looking at a few stuff.

I glanced around and my eyes landed on a rack with clothes. I walked up to it and seen that it was a lingerie rack, I skimmed through it and laughed at a small thought in my head.

"Find anything you like?" He asked, whispering in my ear. He held the fabric in front of me and looked at it, "You'd look good in this, though it would be off by the time you put it on."

I bit my lip and turned around, wrapping my arms around his neck. "Are we done here?"

"Yes." He leaned down and pecked my lips. "Now let's go have fun."

I nodded, grabbing his hand and pulling him out of that store faster than he came in. We walked down and out of the mall as he hailed a taxi.

After awhile the taxi stopped in front of a place called Shotz. We got out and I looked up a little confused. He opened the door and I walked in and seen everything dark, only neon lights glowing around and a few kids in some kind of chest pad thing with a weird looking gun.

"Lazer tag?"

"Yup. Now come on." He grabbed my hand and we went to the desk, he paid and we put our stuff on the side as we suited up. After we were done, he handed me a lazer gun and we went out into the small arena. He pulled me to him and kissed me. "Good luck." He let go and ran behind one of the pillars as I ran behind another one.

"I so got that kid fair and square." I laughed as we walked out of Shotz.

He laughed and shook his head, "He was 10 years-old Tara."

"So. Still got him." I chuckled, swinging our hands.

"So how is tonight going so far?" He asked, looking at me.

"It's been great, best date I've ever been on." I said truthfully.

"Good, because it's not over just yet." He smiled, walking along the side walk for awhile before stopping in front of a restaurant. "Dinner then one last stop before going back."

I nodded and we walked in, sitting in a booth towards the back. We ordered and talked about a few things, him and Haley, me and school, Allison and Luke, Etc.

Tonight was honestly the best night ever, I couldn't ask for a better one. If this can get better, I don't know what to say.

We were walking around, hand in hand. We stopped at the park and sat down, watching the fountain. It was late already, but I didn't mind, I didn't have class till evening the next day.

"You can listen to the message now." He said shortly.

I looked at him then grabbed the yellow bag, opening it and taking out superhero puppy. I looked at it and squeezed it, listening to it's recording. "Hey Tara, so we've been friends for awhile and then things went down hill then went to worse. You seem to always end up hurt and it's usually my fault. Not such a good best friend *laughs* anyways this date wasn't just any other date, today, December 15, 2014 is a day I hope you'll remember because what I'm about to ask you is pretty damn important. Tara Collins, will you do the honors of being my girlfriend? I'm hoping it's a yes, because I must look like a idiot if it's a no. Now turn around and look at me. Love, Cal-Pal."

I looked up and turned to Calum to see him with a box in his hand, staring at me. "So?" He asked, biting his lip nervously.
