Cal's Gal [ editing ]

ch. 29: "night rider"

Calum's P.O.V

Good thing she was still wrapping presents. I already had planned out her christmas present and everything was perfect. I got her two presents to be exact. Both were supposed to be surprises.

I poked holes into the box and slowly lowered the small black pug that I have gotten from a friend earlier. The pup was a boy and it was adorable as hell. I would keep it to myself but I knew Tati would have wanted one also since she has always wanted one ever since we were little. She was the only reason why I started liking puppies and dogs. At first I thought they were annoying and smelled really bad but, now they don't seem too bad.

"Everyone come downstairs!" Tatiana's mum called everyone to the Christmas tree, the whole house was filled up with relatives and family friends.

"Where is Tatiana?" her dad asked, looking straight at me.

I shrugged and he walked fastly upstairs to probably find her.

"Let us begin!" her mom yelled, everyone cheered in response.

Tatiana came down with a deep red dress with a white belt around it, a white knit cardigan, white stockings. and brown fur boots. My eyes widened as she walked towards me with a huge box.

"Merry Christmas." she beamed, handing me the box.

My face brightens up as I opened it, a puppy was inside: a tan pug that looked like the age of 2 months or so. "It's a girl.."

I set the box down with the top off and stand up to hug her tightly, I smelled in the scent of her which smelled like apple cinnamon.

"I love it." I mutter atlast. I rushed over to my gift which was near the door and ran back as fast I could to her, handing her it

She looks at it, confused but in a good way. She opens the top and the puppy jumps onto her, making her gasp but laugh at the same time.

"Oh my god! It's so adorable!" she squeals, hugging her tightly to her chest.

"What a coincidence." Mali joins in, holding onto her clutch, giggling.

"This is cute! Where did you get it though?" Tati asks, looking up to me with the most beautiful pair of eyes ever.

"A friend of mines." I grinned, looking over to Mali who elbowed me.

"Wait!" Tati pauses me, and walks out of the crowd to return with a two-toned white husky pup.

My eyes widened at the sight of it. He/she was beautiful. It was different from the rest.

"Woah." I admired it, as she hands over the pup who was squirming in her arms. "What is it?"

"It's a boy Siberian husky." she says proudly, petting the pup on it's head.

"Well now, we have to take care of them together.. I can't take care of two pups at once." I laugh nervously as I looked at the two pups chasing one another, biting at each other's tail.

"That wouldn't be a problem." she bites her lip then giggles.

The rest of the night were basically us drinking some fancy wine and doing some shots as the adults were outside in the snow, near a campfire reminiscing some moments together. Me and Tati were playing board games with some of our other friends, which were:

Ashton, Louis, Brooke, Anne, Sabrina & Harry who was a new foreign exchanged student from the U.K

"You talk really slow." Brooke slurred at him, making him chuckle lightly.

"I will take that as a compliment." Harry smirks, reaching over for another slice of pizza.

"Wait, where's Michael?" Sabrina blurts out, I lower my head to avoid the awkwardness of the topic.

"Right here." I heard a voice behind me, scaring me a bit. I felt him take a seat near me, about 2-3 inches away. "Thanks for the gift.."

"No problem.." Tatiana mumbles, avoiding eye contact but smiling and looking up now.

"So, this is awkward.." Sabrina says once again, I eyed her, she had too many drinks and people were getting bothered by her except Brooke. "Let's play truth or dare, yeah?"

She grabbed the empty beer bottle behind her and spun it, landing on me.

"Calum, truth or dare?" she asks, flipping her hair to the side.

"Neither, Tati let's go." I growled and grabbed Tatiana by the arm and took her upstairs to her room.

Luckily, she didn't argue because I wanted to get out of there.

"Thanks my hero." She phewed, laying flat on the bed near the three sleeping pups, nearly-awakening them.

"Yeah.. So has Santa been nice to you this year?" I ask, wiggling my eyebrows then laughing.

"Mhmm." She nod, looking around for something to do.

"Well, what do ya wanna do?" I smirk, making a funny face.

"Anything actually.." she giggle, inching closer to me, I wrapped an arm around her waist and kissed the top of her head and pulled something out of my pocket.

"I got this for you." I nervously said, lifting up a small tiffany necklace box. "Don't object to it and don't ask how I got the money."

She responded by being really still and quiet, letting me put the necklace around her neck.

"Tatiana, I have always liked you ever since I have set eyes on you, shit this sounds corny but seriously, I never had the balls to ask you out and I finally do now, I am sorry for everything I put you through but trust me, it won't ever happen again." I kissed her hand, and stood us both up and held her hands with mines.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" I gulped, waiting for an answer.

"Yes." she responds, and I connect my lips into hers, it felt like heaven.

I have always wanted to do this again ever since the encounter at the beach. Everything felt right now, no distractions.

Just us.

Before anything else could get even more heated, Mali barges in the door and gasps loudly, Tatiana suddenly disconnects the kiss and looks ashamed.

"Ir's okay. It happens." Mali jokes, making us both laugh nervously, "Come on Cal we're leaving."

I nod and take Tatiana with me, heading downstairs to see a bunch of family friends leaving.

"Till next time." I whisper to her, then kissed her deeply.

The pups ran downstairs and one fell on it's face from jumping too high on the stairs, making me feel horribly bad.

"Oh shit- oh my god- I shouldn't have left you guys upstairs with doors opened." Tatiana scoops all of them into her arms and I took the husky.

"Can you keep both of them here? I'll come back for her." I blushed, referring to the creme pug. She nods and slowly lowers down both of the pugs.

Mali walks me out to the car where my mum was waiting, tapping away on her phone. I got into the backseat and waited for Mali to squeeze in.

"Oh my god, he's beautiful. What are you gonna name him?" she asks, petting the puppy and letting it rest onto her lap. I thought long and hard as we got closer to home, I let the pup play in the snow and I snapped a pic of it sitting down.

"Night Rider," I smirked at Mali who punched me in the arm, "Ow! I was kidding, I'm naming him Ketchup."

"You are so weird.." Mali rolls her eyes jokingly and walks into the house with Ketchup wagging his tail behind me.
