Skylar's pov

  We walk into the crowded room and meander through the people on the dance floor. The club was pretty full for the early time in this friday night. My hand is holding Calum's one tightly so I don't lose him in this sea of bodies. The smell of sweat, smoke and alcohol invades my senses and I feel Athena reach for my hand when we cross the area before the stairs to the VIP lounge.

  Calum didn't want to do something as big as we did for Mike so we decided to go out for dinner today and then come to a club to party. It's 11 pm now, which means Calum will be 21 in one hour. We finally reach the stairs and I sigh, relieved, too many people down there.

  "There's our table!" Calum yells so we can hear him through the loud music.

  Wrapping his arm around my waist, we walk there, being able to move more freely here. The eight of us sit around the round table, Mike and Ashton getting up after to pick drinks. This night has been pretty good, the atmosphere has been light, filled only with good energy and happiness. I knew things were awkward between Ashton and Athena but I'm glad they decided to put that behind them for Calum.

  The boys comeback with our drinks and we toast to Cal. I feel a kiss on my neck and I turn to the birthday boy.

  "Thank you for doing this for me, love." I smile at his words and answer.

  "You don't have to thank me, baby. It's the least you deserve, I love you." I join our lips and begin a small kiss.

  "I love you." He mutters between the kiss and I smile.

  "Well lovebirds, let's dance?" Luke questions and we pull away.

  "Let's go!"

  The eight of us walk down the stairs and merge with the crowd. We dance along to the various songs that the DJ plays until Mike shouts that there's only five minutes to midnight, making us go back upstairs to celebrate.

  "3, 2, 1, HAPPY BIRTHDAY CALUM!" We shout together and I wrap my arms on my boyfriend's neck.

  "Happy birthday baby, I love you so much." I whisper to his ear and he tightens his arms around me.

  "Thank you, babe, I love you so much." And we crash our lips again.

  Calum hugs everyone and we toast, once again, to Calum's 21st birthday. The rest of the night went smoothly, we danced away our problems, drank and just chatted. A really amazing night.

  Around 5 am, we get out of the still very alive club and part ways, each one going back to its house. Calum and I enter his car, making our way to his house, where I'd be sleeping today. He doesn't imagine tomorrow's surprise.

  "Thank you again, Sky, this night was amazing." His hand slips to my bare thigh and I put mine on top of it, squeezing.

  "Only the best to the best boyfriend, I love you."

  "I love you."

  The rest of the ride we stayed in silence, just enjoying the low music echoing through the car and each other's presence.
