Calum’s P.O.V.
I rang the doorbell and started to get nervous as hell, though I knew I didn’t have to be nervous around her. As soon as she opened the door, I’m sure my jaw dropped. She looked stunning, tight jeans and a flowing top, her phone in her hand and a beanie on her head, the charm bracelet on her wrist. “Hey” she breathed and smiled a cute smile. “Hi” I said and then my head finally clicked and I could talk “You look really good” I said as she closed the door behind her. She blushed and looked down on her converse “You don’t look bad yourself” she said and I smiled at her. “So where are we going?” she asked and I shook my head. “You’ll see” I said and she whined “Come on” “No” “ugh” she huffed and we began to talk about nonsense while I felt myself getting less nervous minute by minute. I’m just comfortable around her. Our hands brushed together every once in a while and after a while, I finally had the courage to take her hand in mine, intertwining our fingers. Her thin fingers wrapped around my hand and she looked up at me, smiling.
When we were almost there, a mother with a little boy walked past us. The little boy pointed at us “Mummy, they are holding hands!” The mother kneeled down to his height and scolded him for yelling and pointing at people and Amber was blushing as I squeezed her hand. “Rose Bay?” she asked and I nodded. “Yeaay” she cheered. “Okay, close your eyes” I ordered. “Since when are you so cheesy Mr. Hood?” she asked giggling while I carefully took her hand again and made sure she didn’t stumble or fall. “Okay, you can open your eyes” I said. As she did so, her hands flew up to cover her mouth. “This is... so… amazing” she said and sat down on the blanket in the sand, indian style of course.
We talked a lot, she would laugh at stupid puns I made or say something like “That’s not even funny, why am I laughing?” while laughing. I had brought sandwiches – classic – and after we ate, I noticed it was really cold. Turning to Amber, I noticed she had pulled the sleeves of her Cardigan over her knuckles, her arms hugging her own body. “Shit, you’re cold” I said and she shook her head. “I’m not c-cold” she said, but her teeth began shattering and I shook my head “Shuddup, you are” I said and chuckled as I scooted closer to her and pulled her into my arms. She immediately leaned into my chest and stared out at the waves. It had started to get dark and the sun was slowly going down. “This is such a cliché moment” she mumbled. “Yeah, it is” I said smiling, “Still cold?” “It’s better now” “Well I guess I’m hot” I chuckled and she laughed “Never in your wildest dreams” she teased. “Don’t be mean” I fake whined. “It’s the truth” she said and with that, I turned her around and stared into her eyes. “It’s not” I said as serious as I could and she just began to chuckle. “Oh you’re gonna regret that” I said and started to tickle her while she squealed and squirmed. “No! Calum! Stop! Ahhh!” she screeched while she tried to get out of my grasp. Somehow she did it and jumped up, then ran towards the waves and stood there. I walked up next to her and as soon as she noticed me, she ran away again. “Okay, where are you?” I asked “It’s dark, I can’t see anything” Next thing I knew, I felt a weight on my back and her arms on my shoulders. I quickly held her thighs with my hands. “Seriously? Piggy back ride?” “Yes” she said and I chuckled as I carried her back to the blanket. I carefully sat her down on it and plopped down as well. “Thanks” she commented. We just sat there quiet for a while until I heard her teeth shattering again. “Why don’t you tell me when you’re cold?” I scolded as I took off my hoodie and tossed it towards her. “Because you do this” she said and pointed towards the hoodie “and I don’t want you to be cold” “I’m not cold, we discussed this. I’m hot” I bragged “now put the hoodie on” She huffed and put it on. I couldn’t help but look at her. “What?” she asked and I chuckled quietly “It’s just that it suits you better than me” I said. “No, it doesn’t.” she protested “It’s way too big for me” “Shuddup” I mumbled and she laid down on the blanket, placing her head in my lap. Unaware of what I was doing, I began to play with her hair, braiding strands of it though I didn’t know how to braid. “Calum?” “Hm?” “What are you doing?” she asked as I fiddled with her hair “A...” I paused as I concentrated “braid”. “Do you even know how to braid?” “No” She sighed and then giggled. ”Why do you have this tattoo on your collarbone?” she asked, looking up at me. “It’s roman numbers for 2011. That was the year we formed 5SOS” I explained and she smiled up at me. “That’s cute” she said. “Do you have any tattoos?” I asked and she nodded, pulling up the sleeve of my hoodie to reveal an infinity tattoo on her wrist. “I also have ‘I want you to mean it’ tattooed” she said. “Where?” I asked. She pointed towards her heart “At the side of my ribcage” she pulled the hem of her shirt and the sweater up until I could see it. It was simple, written in black ink in cursive and winded letters. “Looks good” I said. She smiled and turned her head back towards the waves.
After about an hour of quietly talking or comfortable silence, it was dark and we began to leave. We were walking down the street as I noticed her anxious facial expression. “Hey are you okay?” I asked and took her hand in mine again. She nodded her head “Yeah, I’m just, uh scared when it’s dark” she said and avoided my gaze, embarrassed. “No need to be, I’m here” I said and felt her hand relax. “Yeah” she breathed and smiled at me. When we were in front of her house, she wrapped her arms around my torso, not bothering to stand on her tiptoes to wrap them around my neck, and buried her face in my chest. I placed my chin on top of her head and wrapped my arms around her thin shoulders and we stood like that for some time. “So.. Do you think we could do that again sometime?” I asked, nervous. She pulled away from the hug and smiled at me “I’d love to” I mentally fist pumped and smiled back. She took off the hoodie and handed it to me. “Thanks again” she said and went up to her door, smiling at me one last time before she closed it. I looked at the hoodie in my hand, unable to think properly. “What are you doing to me?” I mumbled to myself as I made my way to my house.
A/N:
I did it! I wrote the date part. It was kinda hard to do it in a Calum P.O.V. because I diunno how guys feel, because I'm not one.. Obviously.
I thought it was cute and I'm sorry for the cliché-ness but it was nawwh... I'm sorry that it's so short too, but I thought the date was enough to happen in one chapter.
Thank you for reading, thank you for voting! <3
