Calum's POV (6 months later)

To say the last six months of my life were amazing was an understatement. The last six months of my life were not something that could be described in words, or in actions. Ashton and I were like any other couple, we would have our fights and make up. It was never anything big, never something that could not be fixed.

I was usually always at Ashton's house after work. Some nights my parents would want me home, I'd accept that but since Ashton's house was usually more quiet and we had more privacy there, that's where we spent most of our time. 

He was now out buying new stuff, or something along those lines, so I stayed gone that night.

It has been six months since Ashton and I dated, although neither of us had said 'I love you' to one another, and today was going to be the day I was going to man up and tell him those three words. I had many ideas popping in mind for the first time, althought none of them seemed good enough, except for one: our first date.

I tried to make that date as perfect as possible and I remember I was so nervous and sweaty that I could have probably swam in my sweat. At that time I didn't know very much about Ashton. Yes we were boyfriends, and we had gone on a date, although it wasn't like I knew every last detail about him and everything he liked or hated. It's different now that were together and have been for six months. In those six months I was able to figure out every last thing about him; when he was lying, tired, annoyed, mad, or sad. There was nothing I didn't know about him and vice versa.

I got out of bed and grabbed my cell phone that was laying on my dresser. If I wanted to make this date as perfect as our first one, it meant having to actually set it up. I doubted Ashton would even be done with whatever before the time I finish setting the date up. It wasn't awfully hard making sandwiches, and putting a blanket in a basket. The only real challenge I have to go through would be stealing the wine again.

The thing is, it isn't hard, although it's much easier and less suspicious when there are two people in comparison to one. When there are two people, there's at least one distracting the cashier so the other can make it out without getting caught.

"Calum?" I heard Ashton call out as he made his way up the stairs of my house. My mum wouldhave most likely let him in, if not my sister. My dad was probably at work, he usually worked night shifts.

"Cal?" He asked as he walked into my room.

I turned arouned so I was facing him rather than my mirror.

"You look.. wow." He complimented as he checked me out, causing my to blush a little.

"Yeah, we're going out today."

"We're what?"

"We're going on, c'mon, let's go." I said as I took his hand leading him out my bedroom door. He kept asking me where we were going, and what we were doing as I led him down the stairs and out my house through my back door, into the little forest.

"Calum, are you trying to kidnap me?"

"No, you shit head, you're my boyfriend, why the hell would I kidnap you?"

"I don't know, but if you haven't realised we're in the woods or whatever, this is a perfect place to kidnap someone and kill them."

"You're dumb, but no, I don't plan on killing you."

We kept walking in silence after that until the basket and blanket came in sight.

"Calum..." Ashton whispered. I shifted slightly so I was able to see him, his eyes were wide and his jaw basically hit the floor, metaphorically speaking, of course. 

He shifted his gaze from the blanket to me and took a step towards me, wrapping his arms around my waist.

"All this for me?" He asked, I nodded. "Why?"

"Because I love you."

N/a I was meant to update this yesterday but I ran out of time. I met my internet best friend! That was pretty cool :D
