Alice’s P.O.V.

The next day Kate and I spent the whole morning getting ready, and may I just say: we looked fabulous. Calum had said to dress fairly casual so I had chosen a crème sweater with my maroon Brandy skirt and my black converse. I took my small black backpack from Aeropostale and left my hair in a loose fishtail. Kate wore a strapless, floral dress from Forever 21 with a pair of brown mini heeled boots. She kept her hair down framing her blue eyes perfectly.

At about 11:05 the doorbell rang. “I’ve got it,” called Kate from the kitchen. I was in the bathroom doing some last minute makeup touchups. When I walked into the front room, Kate and Ashton were about to head out the door. “Bye guys! Be safe,” Kate said winking while Ashton giggled. I rolled my eyes and Calum blushed slightly.

“I could say the same to you,” I said. “See you guys later!” I called after them as their elevator door closed.

Calum’s voice surprised me from behind, “You look beautiful,” me muttered in my ear. I turned around making our bodies quite close. I leaned in and kissed him lightly.

“You don’t look too bad yourself,” I said against his lips before pulling away.

“Shall we?” he asked, offering his arm.

“We shall,” I said letting him lead me to the elevator. Once we were outside he led me to a car. But not just any car.

“Calum… This is a 2014 Corvette Stingray. How the hell did you get one of these?!” I asked in awe. This car was literally my dream. It was impossible to rent one so I was thoroughly confused as to how Calum had gotten his hands on one.

“Well, let’s just say being as famous as I am has its perks,” he said sarcastically. I rolled my eyes but forgot about his comment when he opened the passenger side door for me. I slipped into the seat and sighed. He jogged over to the driver side and started the car.

“So… where will you be taking me Mr. Hood?” I asked.

“Hmm. ‘Mr. Hood’… I like that…” he said with a smirk. “As for our destination: it’s a surprise.”

I was really excited for today. I kinda wanted to get to know Calum better, other than we had the night before. I don’t know why, but for some reason I felt really comfortable with him and not just because we fucked at the party. I felt like we were already at least friends in a way. Before I knew it we were speeding along the West Side Highway heading uptown. I had no clue where we were going.

The radio was playing low leaving us in a comfortable silence until I heard something and turned it up.

“--started on Youtube living in Australia and are now hitting it big as a worldwide phenomenon. Composed of Luke Hemmings, Michael Clifford, Calum Hood, and Ashton Irwin, 5 Seconds of Summer has managed to win the hearts of teenage girls across the planet. Here’s one of their most famous hits: Voodoo Doll.”

The familiar tune started playing in the car and Calum groaned. “Oh god please no. This is so awkward! Allliiiiccceee,” he whined. I giggled and turned it up even higher so that the music pumped out of the open top of the car. I started singing along not caring that my voice sounded like absolute shit.

After about 20 more seconds of a whining Calum and my sing-screaming over him he gave up. He even started to sing along. Two or three songs later we were both singing on the top of our lungs into the wind rushing past as the car sped along the highway.

After about 20 more minutes Calum pulled up on the side of a street. I had a feeling I knew where we were going but I kept my mouth shut so that I didn’t jinx it. Finally we reached the path that I knew all too well.

“How did you know about the Lighthouse?” I asked him in amazement.

“I might have gotten a little help from your best friend,” he said with a grin. I pecked his lips quickly before pulling him down the path.

The Little Red Lighthouse is possibly one of my favorite places in the city. I love it because most tourists don’t know about it and most New Yorkers don’t think that it’s interesting enough to take time out of their schedules for. My dad used to take me on bike rides through Riverside Park to get here. I hadn’t visited the light house in a while since school had started a month ago.

When we reached the Lighthouse I noticed a picnic blanket set up with countless platters of mouth watering food. I grinned and turned to Calum. “This is amazing,” I said and kissed him softly. He sat with me on the blanket and we dished out our food.

“So. Tell me about yourself,” he said. “Everything that you could possibly think of.”

I took a deep breath and thought for a second. “Well, my name is Lily Alice Hemmings, but I go by Alice to avoid confusion. I’m 17 years old turning 18 next month on November 1st which is (In case you didn’t know) the day after Halloween. I don’t have any siblings, but my parents have a cat that comes pretty close. My parents are probably the most important people in my life. My best friends are Kate and Dylan. Well I’m not really sure how I stand with Dylan, but we’ll just have to see,” I said with a sigh. I noticed that Calum stiffened a bit at Dylan’s name, so I changed the subject. “I run Cross Country, Winter Track, and Track at school so you could say that I enjoy running,” I said with a chuckle. “I’m in my senior year and probably about to die from the stress of college. Uhh… yeah I think that’s about it… What about you? What’s the inside story on the famous Calum Hood?” I said teasingly.

“Well, if you must know, I have an amazing family made of a beautiful sister and my parents. I am 18 years old and part of a band. My best friends are three idiots by the names of Luke, Michael, and Ashton. I want a dog, but I don’t have one. Uhhh… My favorite food is pizza.” He said happily. I laughed at his description of himself.

We had finished our food and were now just sitting and enjoying each other’s company. I was looking out at the river when Calum pulled me over to his side of the blanket and sat me on his lap. He wrapped his arms around me from behind and I sighed in content. This was already the best date I had ever been on and it wasn’t even over yet. I turned around to kiss his full lips.

The kiss started off innocently, but soon became heated. I turned around without breaking the kiss to that I was now straddling him. He leaned back on one arm for support while the other gripped my hip tightly. I bit his bottom lip gently asking for entrance which I did not receive. Not willing to wait, I grinded my hips down on his eliciting a moan from his lips. I took this opportunity to slip my tongue into his mouth and explore greedily. I pushed him back so that we were now laying on the ground and without warning he flipped us over obviously tired of me being in control. As we kissed, his hands traveled across my body gently. Once in a while he would squeeze my boob or move his hand to my butt only turning me on more. We pulled apart.

“We should probably stop now or else I don’t think I could stop myself from taking you right here,” he mumbled into my ear. I kissed him softly before sitting up. “Now, come on: it’s already 1:00 and we have some shopping to do,” he said pulling me up and leading me back to the car. Once we were both inside Calum turned to me.

“I just want you to know that I don’t do stuff like this for any girl. I really like you Alice, I know we just met, but the level of comfort that I feel with you makes it feel like we’ve known each other for ages. Just know that I’m not fucking around here. Okay?” he said hardly making eye contact.

I leaned over the center of the car pulling his face to look at me and kissed him hard. “I feel the same way,” I said into his lips pulling away so that he could start the car. We resumed our previous activity of singing off key to any song that played on the radio.

We stopped in front of the well-known brass doors of the one and only Bloomingdales. I looked at Calum questioningly.

“Well, since I’m taking you out to a very fancy dinner tonight, and a girl can never have enough clothes, I thought that I could help you find a dress for tonight,” he said. I grinned and hopped out of the car practically running to the doors.

Once inside I made a bee-line to the women’s sections and started sifting through the options. After I had picked three out I went to the changing rooms with Calum trailing behind. I walked into a room and noticed that the sneaking little fuck had already sat himself down on the bench. “Out.” I said shortly. He stood up reluctantly as if he was expecting my command and waited by the door while I changed into my first option.

It was a knee length orange-red dress that I hated the moment I put it on. “Babe let me see,” Calum said from the other side of the door. I opened it with a grimace on my face. He burst out in laughter and I gave him a dirty look. “Sorry, sorry. You just kinda look like a middle aged teacher,” he said as he attempted to suppress his giggles.

I rolled my eyes and went back into the changing room. This process repeated for the next two dresses, I became really frustrated. Usually by that time I would have a dress. When I came back out of the dressing room Calum had disappeared. I guessed that he had to go to the bathroom or something so I waited. I minute later Calum came back with a little black dress (just walked into the room haha) in his hand.

“I know I’m probably not the best at things like this, but I was looking through the dresses and this one caught my eye,” he said. I smiled at him lightly and went back into the changing room not expecting a dress picked out by Calum to impress me that much. I was very wrong. The black strapless material outlined my body nicely. It was cut fairly low in the front exposing my cleavage, but not low enough to look slutty. It covered my butt with about four inches to spare making it look less like a clubbing dress and more like an I’m-going-out-to-dinner-with-a-hot-bassist kind of dress. I opened the door cautiously to show Calum the dress praying that he liked it as much as I did.

I cleared my throat bringing his attention from his phone to me. His eyes widened and raked across my body stopping at my breasts. “Uh…” he said and cleared his throat tearing his eyes from my boobs.

“What do you think? Do you like it?” I asked anticipating his response. He walked swiftly to where I was standing and pinned my to the wall.

“Do you really need me to answer that question?” he said in a low growl. “You wanna know what I think? I think this dress is going to look extremely nice on the floor of your bedroom later tonight,” he implied. I swallowed quickly, surprised at how much his words turned me on.

“Well then I g-guess I’ll g-get this one,” I stuttered and darted back into the room to change into my clothes.

Calum insisted on paying for the dress much to my distaste. As we walked to the car I realized something.

“Uh… Calum?” I asked nervously.

“Yeah babe?” he said helping me into the car. Once he was seated I continued.

“Well last night you kind of ripped my black strapless bra and my… uh… panties… could we maybe make a stop at Victoria Secret?” I asked awkwardly. His eyes widened and he let out a laugh, easing my nerves.

“Of course babe… as long as you let me see what you try on again,” he said winking and I smacked him across the head.

“Shut up and drive, Hood,” I said and gave him the directions.

We pulled up in front of the store and walked in. I headed straight for the bra-panty sets (I might have known my way around a bit too well) with Calum hot on my heels, eager to help the selection. I sorted through the piles looking for my size but couldn’t find it.

“Need some help there babe,” Calum said.

“Yeah actually. Could you find a 34-C for me? I said as I moved on to the next pile. Calum awkwardly began looking for what I needed. I noticed him blush slightly as he touched the lacey material.

“I can practically see your dirty thoughts from here,” I teased making him blush even more. I finally found what I was looking for and went to the changing rooms.

“Hi! I’m Emma and I’ll be assisting you today! If there’s anything you need, just press the button on the wall!” she said cheerfully. I thanked her and closed the door, changing into the black set. It fit perfectly and I set it aside. An idea came to me and I pressed the button by the mirror. A knock came on the door a few seconds later. “Miss, did you need something?” I opened the door and let Emma into the room. I whispered to make sure that Calum couldn’t hear (I didn’t know where he was in the store).

“Hi so while I was outside I saw a lingerie set that I really liked. It was sheer black with bows on the sides?” I said. She nodded. “Would you mind grabbing me one? There’s someone out there that I want to surprise,” I said.

She grinned, “Of course, I’ll be right back,” A minute later she came back with the set that I had asked for.

“Thank you so much!” I said, and quickly tried it on. Satisfied, I changed back into my clothes. Someone knocked on the door just as I was about to leave. Emma.

“Do you want me to take that from you now and run your card separately so that he doesn’t find out?” she said, gesturing to the flimsy black material in my hand.

“That would be amazing! Thank you so much,” I said handing her the set and heading over to Calum.

“Did you… uh… find what you were looking for,” he said rubbing the back of his neck and glancing around the store awkwardly.

“Yeah,” I giggled and dragged him to the checkout line. When we were at the register I noticed Emma slip another package into my pink striped bag before she handed it to me. “Thanks again,” I said to her. As soon as I had paid Calum practically pulled me out of the store.

“That was so embarrassing,” he muttered once we were in the car. “Alright, well I talked to Kate and she said to leave you approximately 2 hours to get ready for dinner so I’m going to drop you off now. Of course, I could help you get ready,” he said winking. I decided not to even reply to his banter.

“What time are you going to pick me up?” I asked.

“Well I was thinking 6:00-30 ish. We’ll probably be back to the hotel at around 4:00 so that should give you plenty of time to put on all of that highly unnecessary make up of yours and that stunning dress,”

Boys: they never understand the make up thing… “Sounds good,” I said. We were soon outside of the hotel. “Oh, and Calum? I just want you to know that this has probably been the best day of my life,” I said looking into his chocolate brown eyes.

“It’s not over yet babe,” he said with a grin and kissed me before helping me out of the car.

I didn’t know exactly what Calum had planned for the night, but I did know one thing: as long as I was with him, it would all be okay.
