"You do know that I still have no idea what your name is, right?" Calum raised an eyebrow at me, curiously awaiting my answer.

"I do." I stated simply. I wanted to keep my name a secret just a little bit longer because I really liked messing with him.

"You're not going to tell me are you?"

"Nope." I said popping the "p".

I was waiting for him to start pestering me or to put on a pouty face in order to bribe me into telling him, but instead he decided to go along with my charade.

"Alright. I'll play along with the whole "mystery girl" thing for now." He nudged my shoulder playfully before continuing, "I do hope to find out at some point."

"You will when the time is right, but for now you need to hush because the train is coming." I put up a finger to my lips signaling him to quiet down.

After the train came by we decided to start heading back to our cars because it looked like a storm was coming. A slight breeze blew by and immediately sent shivers down my arms, and I mentally cursed at myself for forgetting my jacket at home. I didn't want Calum to know I was cold, so I tried my hardest to deal with it for a little while longer.

"Cold?" Clearly he noticed my goosebumps.

"A little." I admitted.

"Here." He shrugged off his jacket and put it over my shoulders before I had a chance to protest.

"Now you're going to be cold." I argued.

"Don't worry about me. I'll be just fine." Once again he playfully nudged my shoulder, and this time I got goosebumps for a completely different reason.

We carefully maneuvered our way through the trees, but we weren't successful because Calum's belt loop got stuck on a tree branch.

"Ah I'm stuck. Someone help!" He whined like a little three year old, and I couldn't help but laugh at his immaturity.

"What do we have here? A damsel in distress?" I teased.

He crossed his arms and finally gave me the pouty face that I was expecting earlier this evening.

"I'm pretty sure you can get yourself out of this sticky situation." I continued to tease him.

"Fine. But just know-" As Calum reached down to release himself from the branch, he stopped mid-sentence and started to scream.

"What's wrong?!" I panicked.

"There's a,a,a-"

"A what?!" I rushed over to him to find out that he was freaking out over a spider that had climbed down the branch.

"A spider? Seriously that's why you're freaking out?"

"Get it off! Get it off!" He started to flail his arms and these bodily motions caused him to come undone from the branch and fall into me. I may be clumsy but somehow I managed to catch him. Although his weight was too heavy for me to hold, so we both fell and crashed into the ground.

Calum was now on top of me, and he wasn't making any effort to remove himself from my body.

"Uh you can get off of me now." I suggested.

"Nah, I think I'll stay here."

I looked into his dark brown eyes and from the sparkle in them I could tell that he was clearly enjoying our close proximity.

I thought for a moment before responding, "I'd rather not die from suffocation." His weight was really pressing down on me, and I don't know how much longer I could stand it.
