Olivia's POV

I felt somebody shaking me but didn't budge, thinking maybe it was just a bumpy road shaking the car a bit and that i'd be able to sleep a while longer. That was until I heard Michaels soft whisper, "Baby, wake up. We're here, you slept the whole care ride" he softly giggled and my eyes fluttered open and the smile on his face grew even bigger. "Good afternoon sleepy head, did you have a nice nap?" he said and giggled. "Considering in the dream I had you were singing to me, yes I slept very well" I giggled and unbuckled my seatbelt, Michael had his hand held out for me so I took it and climbed out of the car. I looked around and we were surrounded by trees, either we really are in Narnia and this is the greatest day of my life... or my boyfriend is planning on murdering me and its the worst day of my life.

"um.. babe?" I said

"yes my love?" he looked at me with curious eyes, waiting for me to speak again

"a-are you planning to murder me in the woods or are we literally in Narnia...?" I asked him and he started laughing so hard that he fell to the ground, he still had a hold on my hand so when he fell I was pulled on top of him so we were both laughing like maniacs.

We finally calmed ourselves down enough to stand up and dust ourselves off, there were still a few giggles coming out of our mouths here and there but at least we weren't laying in the dirt laughing our asses off. But that's definitely something I love about our relationship, we can die laughing at the smallest things. We've done that since we first started hanging out with each other and if anything its made everything between us better. Even if we were in an argument, if one of us said something stupid in the heat of the moment because we couldn't think of a good comeback we'd end up on the floor laughing so hard we couldn't breath and it always ended the argument. I never want that to stop happening.

I guess I got lost in thought because Michael was waving his hand in front of my face "Earth to Olivia, is anybody in there?" he was about to start knocking on my head before I pushed his hand away. "Ah so there is somebody in there" he said and giggled, taking my hand and interlocking our fingers. "c'mon, time to disconnect and explore the woods" he drug me down a dirt road that took us to a cliff surrounded by trees. He stopped and turned to me just before the arch of branches, which lead to the bigger part of the cliff.

"close your eyes" I shook my head rapidly, I was terrified of heights and its bad enough we're on a cliff. "babe I'm not gonna let you fall off the cliffs edge. It'll only be for a second, just a few steps and you can open your eyes ok?" he pouted and gave puppy eyes, he knows I can't resist anything when he does that.

"Ugh, You're so lucky you have me wrapped around your finger. Otherwise I'd push you to the ground and run" i giggled and closed my eyes. He pulled me into his side and threw his arm over my shoulders, making me feel much safer than I did before. We walked for a little bit before he was pulling me down to sit with him, then telling me I could finally open my eyes.

When I opened my eyes I saw trees lined with fairy lights, a picnic setting on the ground, and an acoustic guitar. Everything looked so beautiful, It wasn't dark enough for the fairy lights to be on but I was already imagining Michael and I laying in the grass with the lit fairy lights just looking at the stars, talking about anything and everything. "this is beautiful" I whispered, partially to myself and partially to Michael.

"its not as beautiful as you but I agree, the boys did a great job decorating this."

I looked at him and then looked back at the decorations, "the boys did this?!" he nodded and smiled at me, "all for you baby, they're great friends"

"when did I become so special to them" I giggled and he shook his head at me "You've always been special to them love, but mainly when you pulled me out of my darkness and made me happier than ever." I blushed and looked at the ground, I never knew I could be so special to 4 boys.

"ok so what holiday am I forgetting about?" I asked him, thinking maybe I forgot about our anniversary or something important. "No holidays or anything. Its just a normal day." he smiled, obviously picking up on my slight panic.

"then your being an amazing boyfriend and trying to guilt trip me into doing something....?"

"the first part is a yes, second part is a maybe but no" he said laughing

"you're particularly adorable today sir...you may continue with your plans"

he giggled and grabbed his guitar out of the case that was laying in the grass and strummed the chords, making sure it was tuned right. Then he started playing chords to a song that I didn't recognize, every so often he'd look at me and smile, then he started singing.

"Throwing rocks at your window at midnight, You met me in your backyard that night. In the moonlight you looked just like an angel in disguise, my whole life seemed like a postcard, You were mine for a night I was out of my mind. You were mine for a night, I don't know how to say goodbye. Making all our plans in the Santa Cruz sand that night, I thought I had you in the palm of my hand that night, Screaming at the top of my lungs 'til my chest felt tight. I told myself that I'm never gonna be alright. You had me wrapped around your finger, I'm wrapped around your finger" he continued singing until it was over. When he was he put the guitar back in the case, scooted next to me and took my hands in his. Looking at me with a hopeful look in his eyes, and then he spoke. "So what'd you thiiiink?" he smiled at me and giggled, "it was beautiful Mikey, probably my new favorite out of the songs you've written" I smiled back at him and he kissed me on the cheek, then nuzzling his face into my neck. He kissed my neck and mumbled, "I love you" I giggled at the tickle of his hair on my neck, "I love you too cutie". He sat up and let go of my hands so he could hide his face since he was blushing

"heyyy" I whined. Pulling his hands away from his face and placing them in his lap, then squishing his cheeks with my own hands. He's always had very squishable cheeks but he always hates when I squish them. "You remind me of my grandma.." he said when I let go of his face, giggling at the comment he'd just made. "good thing I like your grandma, otherwise I'd take offense to that. Plus its not my fault you have really squishable cheeks" "hell yeah I do" He had a smirk on his face, I gasped, realizing what he meant. "oh my god, Michael Gordon Clifford you are SUCH a guy!!" he busted out laughing, which made me laugh. His laugh was very contagious.

we calmed down once again, trying to catch our breath.  Then he stood up, grabbing my hand to help me stand, and as soon as I was fully standing he threw me over his shoulder and carried me towards the ledge of the cliff. I was punching his back the entire time but he didn't budge, he just laughed at me. He gently set me down when we got to the edge of the cliff, holding onto my hand and giving it a light squeez to comfort me a bit, he always knows how to comfort me, and how to mess with me but... not the point. "Sit" he said pointing to the spot next to him after he had sat down, I shook my head rapidly, not even wanting to take the chance. He pouted at me and grabbed my hand, pulling me down to the ground beside him and then making my head lay on his shoulder with his free hand. "I'd never let you fall baby girl, don't worry." .he kissed my forehead and then put his head on top of mine and sighed contently. The sun had started going down since a few hours had already passed and it was now 6:30 pm so we laid back on the grass, staring at the multicolored sky and the moon. We stayed there for a while just sitting in silence, every once in a while one of us would speak but for the most part it was silent. I was ok with it, until I finally drifted off to sleep. I think Michael did too because when we woke up he checked the time on his phone and it was 3 AM. We stargazed for a while longer and then he told me we were going to go back to the car and sleep in there since we were both tired. We grabbed some of the stuff the boys decorated with and brought it all back to Michael's car, pushing the seats forward so they'd lay flat down, making more room for the stuff and enough room for us to lay and sleep comfortably. We climbed in and laid down, cuddling up to each other so we'd be a bit warmer. He kissed me on the forehead and then laid back down mumbling 'I love you', and then the both of us slowly drifted back to sleep.
