31. The Date

"You need help?" Summer asked Calum as he tried to wear his tie. She smiled because she found it cute how Calum looked struggling to wear the tie.

They were currently went shopping with Michael and Helena. The girls were trying to help the boys to find the perfect tuxedos for the wedding.

"Yeah," he gave up, sighing loudly while running a hand through his messy hair.

Summer stood up from the chair and stepped forward to him. She adjusted the tie around Calum's neck and began to knot it. She was really grateful at the time because she always helped her nephews to wear their ties so she didn't really have a problem to help Calum to wear his tie. All the time Calum looked down to her with a smile and a look of adoration across his face. It made Summer's heart beat quickly-- especially they were really close at the time-- but she just chose to ignore it.

Summer put her hands on Calum's chest and smoothen the tux before she looked up to him. "There. You look handsome in this tux," Summer said, grinning to him.

The smile on Calum's face widened and he leaned forward to give her a peck on her lips that always made her body tingling. "Thank you," he said before he leaned again to give her another peck on the lips.

"Aww, look at the two of you. So madly in love," Michael cooed with high pitched voice from across the room, causing Calum to flip him off and Michael only laughed really hard in response.

"Just ignore him," Calum muttered before he leaned forward to kiss Summer.

Everytime his lips touched her lips, it always like the first time. She would always get that unexplained feelings in the pit of her stomach. She would feel her heart beating faster. She would feel like she was on fire. Everytime they kissed, it was like none of them was getting enough of each other; It was like they needed more.

"Eww, seriously, guys," Michael groaned. "You guys are cute but no making out in the public please," he continued his complain.

Calum snorted. "I think it's fair to kiss my girlfriend whenever I want to in front of anyone, especially you, because I'm tired of seeing you being all mushy and shit with Helena."

Michael rolled his eyes at his best friend reply while Summer at the other hand was blushing wildly. It was the first time ever Calum called her as his girlfriend. All this time they had never once talked about their label or status.

"Who says I'm your girlfriend?" Summer teased, trying to sound as confident as she could. "Prove me if I'm wrong but as far as I could remember, we never went out for a date before nor you asked me to be your girlfriend," she finished off, smirking at the end.

Calum tilted his head to the side, looking at Summer with narrowed eyes. "Well, you're wrong. We have went for a date a couple of times," he said, seeming that he was really sure of it.

Summer frowned. "When?"

Calum pursed his plump lips into a thin line and wore a thoughtful look on his face as if he was trying to recollect his memories. "One," he began, "When Claire introduced us. Two, when we went to that ice cream parlor when I was helping you to see around the city. Three, when we had pizza and wine for dinner at the penthouse while looking at the sky. Four-"

Summer interrupted him before he could finish his words. "What? Those were not dates- They can't be counted as one," she argued. "Especially when Claire introduced us to each other, we hated each other remember?"

"Hate is a strong word, love. I never hated you- Well, at first I thought I hated you, but I was just pissed because you were constantly on my mind all the time," he admitted.
