Camila's P.O.V:

The girls and i are currently at the shopping center, to buy myself a dress for my one year anniversary with my boyfriend Liam, he said he'd planned everything on his own to which i feel bad so i bought him a nice wrist watch and a black leather wallet in which i might/might not have already put my picture inside it, i giggled to myself. "What's so funny?" Ariana and Skylar gave me a questioning look, "Oh nothing, remember the wallet i just bought Liam? Well i kind of put my fav pic of myself inside hehe." They both laugh and Ariana adds "Only you Mila, only.. YoU."

"O Em Gee!" Sky and Ari both squealed, "This is THE one!!" Skylar exclaimed, and Ariana speaks up adjusting few things to the dress, it was a tight black dress with off-shoulder lace sleeves. "Yes chica, you look gorgeous, knowing Liam he'd probably drool." She giggled, "I will never forget the way he looked at you last year at that carnival." Skylar explained "He looked like he just saw an angel fell from heaven right before his eyes."

One Year Ago

"Alright girls, i have this hole carnival day thing planned out!!" i spoke with a large smile drawn on my figure, jumping around my two best friends, Skylar and Ariana. "Of course you do Mila, every year same thing, we follow the first two-three things on your list and the rest gets fucked up so we get snow-cones and popcorn and throw away your list" Skylar laughs at Ariana's unremarkable accurate scenario. "Well my dear little Ari, it's what traditions are for!" I winked at her and then turned away entering the carnival.

Ariana's P.O.V.:

I'm currently on the phone with my best friend Hayden, 'You sure you'll be okay Ari? If you need anything call me.' Ever since we were little Hayden was always overprotective towards me, acting all tough and all, but we both know he's the softest guy you could ever find. "Yes Hayd, we'll be okay, i promise. Love youu byee!" and i hang up then look up to find Mila and Sky making weird kiss faces and laughing at me. I glare at the both of them and splash them with the water left in my half empty bottle.

"COME ON!! COME ON!! Let's go on the bouncing castle!!" Camila sprinted towards the bouncing house, bought 3 tickets and ran in jumping, while we were walking, taking our time, no rush and looking at her waving at us. We snap few ridiculous pictures of her and immediately join her.

Liam's P.O.V.:

I watch as she rushes towards the bouncing castle. Something about her catches my eye, maybe it's her smile? Her enthusiasm? Her hyperactive personality? I don't know but I do know that i want to at least talk to her.

Few hours later, I see her and her friends getting ready to leave, but for a slight moment she notices me watching her from the corner of her eye, and as if on purpose let's her phone 'gently' drop on the ground.

I leave my stand as soon as she walks away, I grab her phone rushing towards her and gently I tap her shoulder which earns me her full attention. She turns back looking at me with soft green eyes and drops of golden shimmer reflecting the sunset behind me. "Uh.. Hey sorry, I just saw you dropped your phone and well here you go.." I hand her the phone while nervously running my hand through my hair.

Camila's P.O.V.:

He nervously runs his big hands (he obviously works out -hot-) through his silky light brown hair while handing me my phone back. For what feels like forever we stare at each other, not in an awkward way, I felt.. comfortable, safe. I feel Ariana and Skylar slowly backing away and running off to the bus station. Traitors.

"I'm Camila." I give him the best smile i could ever give someone.

Liam's P.O.V.:

"Liam." Her smile is one of the most gorgeous smile anyone could ever have. "Do you maybe wanna sit and talk? I volunteered to serve at the bar, I could make you a sandwich and maybe a drink? You must be starving after all that jumping around." She nods at me asking me to lead the way.

She sits on the long red leather chairs placed around the bar, I hand her a cocktail as she speaks up, "Shouldn't you have closed already?" She then takes a sip and looks up at me. "No harm done in opening for few more minutes eh?" She let's out a soft giggle and we end up chatting till the clock hits 9pm.

"Crap, I have to go, i can't miss the last bus back home." She looks at me with worried traits on her face, packing her phone into her bag and placing some money on the bar. "It's on the house." I tell her pushing back the money. "Thank you so much for this great evening Liam, I really appreciated it!" She says in a hurry, jumping off the chair as I lock the last door. "Woah woah woah, you didn't think I'd let you go alone at this time did you?"

"Fucking hell! I missed the last bus" I noticed as she's angry, small wrinkles appears right above her nose, it's cute. "I'll call a cab, and i'm going with you. Not leaving you until I make sure your home safe and sound." She relaxes a bit and sits on the bus bench next to me, laying her head on my shoulder. "Here, let me give you my number so you can text me once you're inside."

"You're very protective, i'll be fine Liam, I promise." She says while poking my arm, I type my number on her phone, she immediately sends me a heart so I can know it's her and I directly save her number on my phone.

~~~~~~~~

Present time.

I ring the doorbell to her house, Ariana opens the door for me and let's me in "mom style", I stand at the bottom of the stairs fixing up my hair until I see her. "Holy gorgeousness!" I stare at her, rubbing my eyes, not believing that all THAT is mine to cherish. My girlfriend is fucking beautiful what the actual f-. She giggles at the scene of my reaction and comes down the stairs giving me a kiss on my cheek.

"Alright kids, show me those beautiful teeth and smile for the camera." Ariana exclaims, as if i was taking her daughter to prom, "You got till 2am." Skylar says to me poking my shoulder in a strict way. "Yes ma'ams."

"Happy one year babe." I kiss my heavenly angel of a girlfriend and lead her to the car, open the door for her, and ride away with my date. I'm blessed.

Ariana's P.O.V.:

  "Ugh, I want someone to treat me like that, even Jake wasn't that perfect. I let myself fall onto the black couch in Mila's living room and Skylar joins me. "You know Ari.. You and Hayden could be like that, even better!" She smirks at me poking my arm with her elbow and moving her eyebrows weirdly. I smack her hand and we end up watching Teen Beach Movie, the first AND the second one.

How do we feel about Liam and Camila?

The name Liam was picked for a good reason: Jumble the letters L I A & M =MILA = Camila's nickname. S/o to my best friend who had this brilliant idea. (:
