Vanessa's point of view

"You taste like cigarettes." I told Calum as he gave me a kiss. "Have you been smoking?"

"Yeah." He said and nodded. "How do you know what cigarettes taste like?" He questioned.

"Calum, they're cigarettes. Suddenly everyone smokes so I don't understand how you don't know when someone just smoked." I told him and he nodded as he kissed my jaw.

"You're killing me." He said, his hands running up my bare thighs. "God damn."

"Don't die, that simple."

"Gonna put out a new song and when you're hyperventilating, I'm gonna tell you not to die." He retorted and I nodded as he slid his hands up to my hips.

"You have very curious hands." I said as I held on to his wrist. "It's gonna get you in trouble." I told him and he laughed.

"No one's here besides us." He told me and I shrugged, telling him that was true. "Come on." He said and I let go of his wrists.

"You're honestly so fucking beautiful." He told me and I blushed as I looked at the floor. "Not to sound like... rude or player-ish, but it takes a lot for me to want to hang out with someone when we both have clothes on."

"Gee, I feel special." I said and he rolled his eyes. I leaned into him and he kept his arms around my waist. "Where do we stand Calum?"

"What do you mean?"

"You told me you weren't gonna wait around for me but-but here we are, acting as if we never had that argument and stuff." I told him and he was silent. "Did I just fuck it all up?"

"No princess, I promise." He said and I nodded. "I change my mind. I will wait because I'm not going to risk losing you to someone else, no matter how selfish that is." He said and I blushed again.

"It's kind of creepy, but it's also cute." I said and he gave me a quick kiss. "Are we doing anything today?" I asked and he shook his head.

"Want to?" He asked and I shrugged. "How about you go get dressed and we can go somewhere together?"

"I don't want you to spend money on me."

"We can go to a nearby park then, like before." He said and I agreed to that. "Go get dressed love, I'll tell Mikey where we're headed so none of them flip shit." He told me and I nodded as he kissed my cheek.

"Charge my phone for me?" I asked and he nodded. I went to my suitcase and he chuckled.

"Watch those hips babe, gonna knock something over."

"Watch that mouth Cal, gonna shove my fist in it if it keeps running."

"Sometimes I wonder why I love you."

-

Calum held my hand as we walked around the park and I leaned my head on his shoulder. "Have you picked out an outfit for the awards show?" He asked and I nodded.

"Yes I have. I'm going to look so good it should be illegal." I said and he laughed, saying that my confidence was sky rocketing into cocky. "Well this dress makes me glad I have huge hips and stuff." I said and he nodded.

"Do I get to see?"

"Nope." I said and he pouted. "Not until the day of." I told him and he whined.

"I'm wearing all black." He said and I nodded. "Tell me you're wearing black..."

"Of course I am." I said and he cheered. "Am I sitting with your families or with you guys?" I asked and he said that I was sitting with them.

"You're sitting between me and Luke." He said and I nidded. "You're riding with us too, so the carpet is yours aswell."

"I'm gonna fall and die." I said and he laughed as he nudged me. "If I go down, you're going down with me."

"We're going down-down in an earlier round," he sang loudly and I clapped my hands as I jumped around the park. "And sugar we're going down swinging."

"I'll be your number one with a bullet, a loaded gun complex, cock it and pull it." I sang with him and we laughed as we made our way to the playground.

I climbed on top of it and Calum followed, sitting beside me on the highest platform see could reach. "I have a sharpie, wanna tag it?" I asked and he looked at me asked if I was crazy.

"Why do you have a sharpie?"

"If you see fans you can sign their tits or soemthing, I don't know." I said and he laughed as I uncapped it.

I drew tiny pictures inside of the slide and Calum took the marker drop me when I finished, doting the same. "I signed it. When were fifty years old, let's come back here and see if it's still there."

"Yes." I said and he laughed as he handed me the pen. It fell down the slide and I went after it, leaving Calum alone.

I laughed as I picked it up and then decided to hide from him, opting for the inside of the playground that had little tic-tac-toe squares. "Vanessa?" He asked as he walked around.

"I'm a grown ass man circling a playground, please spare my dignity." He begged and I laughed as I darted out when he left.

"There you are!" He exclaimed after a moment or two. I ran from him but since this fucker is over six foot and nearly got offered a spot on a football team, he caught up to me.

I laughed as he pulled me against him and he kissed my cheek. "There's no running away from me." He said and I felt like a little kid being smothered by someone they liked.

I was all giggles and smiles right now.

"I can't laugh anymore." I gasped as I rolled around in the grass. He laughed and sat down himself and I hit him. "You're mean."

"Am I?" He asked as I laid my head on his thigh. "Or are you just mad I caught up to you?" He asked me and I glared playfully at him.

"Both."

"Rude." He commented and I stuck my tongue out at him. I took my sharpie and then uncapped it as he looked over me.

He let me draw a mustache on him and he laughed when I finished. He laid down on the grass and then pulled his phone out. He took selfies with his sharpie-stache. And then wrapped an arm around me, forcing me to take a picture with him.

I took his arm since he was only using one hand and then drew on it. "Giving me more tattoos?" He asked and I nodded. "How much for it?"

"A kiss." I said and he told me that the price was very affordable. I drew a dick after drawing a bunch of other little doodles and then giggled as he hummed.

"What did y-Oh my god really?" He asked as he saw it. I nodded and smiled as he groaned. "I hate you so much." He said and I rolled my eyes.

"You love me, shut up." I said and he just nodded and he took the sharpie, deciding to draw on me aswell. I let him as I took his phone, tweeting random shit off of his phone.

'Michael is my boyfriend'

'Nessa is queen lol move over'

'4 dollars and I'll take my shirt off'

"Hey!" He said and took his phone. "You're a liar. This is worth more the four dollars." He said and motioned his his upper body.

"Five?"

We laughed and he rolled his eyes as he continued drawing whatever on my hand. I took his phone back after promising not to tweet anymore stupid shit and then noticed he took a picture of his arm and posted the drawings.

"What is that?" I asked as he concentrated on whatever he was drawing. It looked like a cloud, but it was very scribbly.

"You'll see." He aaid and a couple of girls walked over. I spotted them and smiled before nudging Cal.

"Hey, you messed it up!" He whined and I laughed, telling him that it's fine. "Why did you do that?" He asked and I motioned to his fans. "I see. Well, want me to sign anything, take pictures maybe."

Both girls cursed, having been in all black and then the shorter one decided to just go for a picture. "You're really talented Calum." She complimented and I looked down at Calum's phone, tweeting about how cute he is with his fans.

"Thank you." He said, a bright smile on his lips, the crinkles beside his eyes appearing. "That means a lot."

They finished up and I gave them a nod and smile. "Please take care of him, he's a literal puppy and we love him so much. Give him lots of cuddles and make sure he's always happy." One said and I nodded.

"I promise I will." I said and she thought I was cool enough to take a picture with. She handed her phone to Calum and we took pictures, the shorter of the two seeming irritated.

"Have a great day." I said and she thanked us before they walked away. I sat down with Calum again and he took the sharpie, going back to the drawing on my hand. "They loved you loads."

"Surprising, most of the time fans are just calling me hot and asking me to fuck them, even minors." He said and rolled my eyes. "It's refreshing to know they're not all like that."

I kissed his cheek and leaned my head against his shoulder as he continued drawing on me. He hummed and smiled brightly when he finished. "I tried." He said and I nodded.

'If you could love me again, I could let go of everything'

"My favourite lyrics." He said and I gave him a quick kiss. "Do you like it? I'm no artist but-"

"It's very pretty." I told him, tracing over the cloud, the Cresent moon, and the stars. I smudged one but it didn't matter much, it made it look like a shooting star.

He held my hands and then asked if I wanted some coffee. "There's a coffee shop literally right over there." He said and I shrugged.

"Do you want to?" I asked and he nodded, practically begging me to let him buy me coffee. "Let's go then." I said and helped him up. "There's grass everywhere oh god, oh no. I'm in white."

"You look fine." He said and I looked at him. "Come on, let's get something to drink." He said and I nodded as I followed him.

"It's called common sense motherfucker, I'm out." I said and he blinked a couple of times before pushing me. "Fetus Calum Hood was a gem."

"No he wasn't." He said and I rolled my eyes as we walked into the coffee shop. We went to wait in line and when it was our turn, the girl nearly lost her shit.

"Wh-What c-can I get for you?" She asked and Calum ordered, knowing exactly how I drink coffee. I smiled and she nodded, telling him that it's on the house.

Calum however, still gave her the money and she didn't argue, her hands shaking as she opened the register. We went to sit down and he held my hand. "Oh no Calum." I said and tried looking away, but it was too late.

"What?" He asked and then eyed the guy who went up to the counter. "He's obviously an article writer, let's hope celebrities and their significant other isn't his specialty." He as said as he kept his gaze down.

"We'll I'll be damned," he said and I looked at Calum. "It's Calum hood and Vanessa Fr-"

"Hemnings, thank you." I said and gave him a smile. He nodded and then pulled up a chair, sitting beside us. "Mind answering just two or three questions?"

"Not at all." Calum said as he reached for his pencil and pen. "Go ahead."

"What are you guys doing out today? On a date?" He asked us and I let Calum answer.

"We are actually." He said and the man nodded as he wrote it down. "We had a day off before a concert tomorrow night so I decided to spend it with Vanessa."

"How do you react to people who call you a pedophile Calum?" He asked and I stood up as the lady called.

"Can I have a piece of paper?" I asked the man and he ripped me off a paper. "Cal, sign this please." I said and he took the sharpie as he signed it.

"Technically, a pedophile is an adult who is attracted to someone who is prepubescent. Vanessa does not fit under that category, so it isn't pedophilia exactly." He explained as he handed me the paper.

I stood up and went up to the girl. "He's busy, I'm so sorry but here." I said and handed her the signed piece of paper. She squealed and thanked me. "You're welcome." I said and smiled before taking the drinks.

I gave Calum his and he thanked me. "How long have you guys been dating? How long do you think this can last?"

"We've been dating for nearly four months and these past four months have been amazing. I think we can last pretty long if we both put our all into this." Calum said and I nodded.

"Anything to add?" He asked me and I looked between them.

"Um, I'm really happy with Calum and if he's willing to put up with me then I can put up with him." I said and Calum laughed. "His was more sweet, sorry." I said and he shrugged as I took a drinking my hot beverage.

"Last question, do you guys think you'll be the hottest couple at the award show you're attending?" He asked and I laughed.

"Probably not but we can try." I said and Calum nodded. He stood up and thanked us for our time. Calum smiled fake and nodded before grabbing his coffee and standing up.

"I'm gonna go get a picture with the barista, you can go chill at the park if you want." He said and I nodded as I left the shop, waiting for him.
