Calleigh walked into the little café with somewhat of a forced smile on her face, her shoulders tensed. After a quick glance around she noted that Gavin hadn't arrived yet and her shoulder's relaxed just slightly. With a sigh she headed over to the counter, stepping up in line to order. She shouldn't feel nervous about meeting her boyfriend...well now husband for coffee. But that was just it. Gavin was now her husband. How on earth had that happened? Their little trip to Vegas was suppose to be just a fun vacation. A little getaway from everything and everyone in their lives so they could just enjoy being with each other. They were so wrapped up in each other most of the time it tended to make everyone around them a little nauseous. They'd all encouraged them to go.

The weekend had started off wonderful, going down to the casino in their hotel and gambling and drinking and laughing. They'd been quite enjoying themselves. They had even gone to a couple of the shows that were everywhere on the strip. It had been a blast! Then they had gone out one night and gotten probably a little bit more drunk than they should have. She and Gavin had been sitting out on the little balcony of their hotel room, her in his lap and her arms wrapped around his neck, just like at home. They's been talking and kissing each other, the lights and noise coming from below them barely registering.

And the next thing Calleigh knew Gavin had started talking about how they should get married! Run off to one of the little chapels that were on every corner here and just do it. They loved each other, they wanted to be together, and they were going to get married eventually anyway, right? Somehow Calleigh had found herself agreeing with him and they had done just that. A little married couple had been their witnesses as they performed the ceremony. And she and Gavin had gone back to their hotel room and made love for the rest of the weekend.

But now they were back and Lipton and they had to face the reality of that fact that they were married. And Calleigh really had no clue as to how she felt about the whole thing. There was still so much that Gavin didn't know about her past! They had been dating for three years, almost the entire time she has been here, and she still hadn't brought herself to explain her past to him. It was such a dark time in Calleigh's life and when she'd moved here for college all she'd wanted to do was forget about that dark time in her life, to move forward. And then she'd met Gavin and fallen head over heels for him and never looked back. Well now it was catching up to her.

Calleigh ordered her grande carmel macchiato from the barista with a smile and moved to sit at one of the little round tables for two next to the big window at the front of the shop. That way she would be able to see when Gav arrived and they could look out while they shared their coffee. They needed to talk about this, about what they were going to do about the fact that they were now not just the "it" couple in town but were a married couple. It scared the crap out of her.

Gavin looked down at his hands after he pulled a tank top over his head looking at his ring finger he knew that he should have a band around it but they had to keep it a secret. He was actually really happy to have Cal as his wife but not under the circumstances that they had happened under they had went about it all wrong and now they both were in a weird place and didn’t have a clue what to do about it. Gavin pulled a pair of khaki shorts on sticking his wallet into his back pocket and grabbing his phone and keys of the dresser looking at the jewelry box that he had picked up yesterday for Cal.

Cal would already be at the coffee shop if she had left from the school and he needed to get there as fast as he could so they could actually talk and come up with something they couldn’t do about all this they had gotten themselves into. Cole pulled his watch off the bed side table strapping it around his wrist as he walked out of him and Cals room and out of the house looking the door behind him. Gavin pulled his keys out of his pocket walking to his convertible and jumping over the door and into the set starting his car and backing out of the drive way and driving by his neighbor’s house slowly as he waved.

He had a running game that only he was playing and to be honest he was still losing he had made it his mission to freak out the neighbors every chance he could and his weirdness was wearing off the more they seen him being all lovey dove with Cal. Gavin pulled his sun glasses off the sun visor and sliding them on and making his way out of the subdivision and to the down town coffee shop to meet his girlfriend and now wife. He couldn’t wait to actually see her and finally kiss her for the day and figure out where and what they were.

Gavin pulled into the parking spot of the coffee shop making his way inside looking for Cal before he went and ordered his drink. Gavin walked up to the counter ordering a large coke and paying before turning and walking over to the table for two his lovely was sitting at. Gavin walked up behind her kissing the back of her head as he wrapped his arms around her squeezing her then walking around the table to sit down infront of her. ” Hey Cal I missed you this morning I didn’t know you were going to study this morning and I woke up to an empty bed.’’ Cole smiled at her then leaned over the table kissing her on the lips and then taking a drink of his coke.

The notebook she had pulled out thinking it might distract her until Gavin got here lay forgotten on the table, only a few swirls and doodles on the page. Calleigh sat there twirling the pen in her hand against the table as she stared at the ring finger on her left hand. It felt empty. She knew that she should have a ring there but there was no way that she would be able to do that without having to answer a million questions that she wasn't sure she was quite ready to answer. From her friends, her parents, Gavin's parents. Sure Gav's parents loved her and hers loved him, the few times they had visited her they had been totally impressed. And he made her happy. Ridiculously happy. And that was all they really wanted for her after everything she had been through in high school.

But how would they react if she and Gavin showed up on their doorstep and told them they were married? How would Gavin's parents react here in Lipton? Calleigh knew that they wanted them to get married eventually, they weren't shy about that fact, but surely they weren't expecting it now. Unless there was something Gavin wasn't telling her. Cal couldn't keep all of these thoughts out of her head, worrying over them in her mind. And as such she was completely distracted from everything going on around her so she was taken aback as she felt a familiar pair of arms around her and a sweet kiss to the back of her head.

She smiled, her eyes full of love, as Gavin sat down across from her at the little table for two. God she loved this man with every fiber of her being. She should be completely ecstatic about the fact that he was now her husband. But it felt dishonest to her and Calleigh had no idea how to go about telling him about everything in her past. She's been having a lot of really weird thoughts ever since they had gotten back from Vegas. She knew that Gavin loved her, that they were perfect together, but lately all of these doubts had started creeping up on her and she had no idea what to do about it. Did he really love her? And if she told him about her ex and her miscarriage when she'd still been a child would he leave her? She didn't know if she would be able to handle it if Gav left her.

Calleigh tried desperately to hide all of her irrational thoughts from Gav as he sat across from her, though she'd never really been good at hiding what she was thinking from him. "I'm sorry babe." she laughed. She wasn't too particularly fond of waking up without him beside her either. "I woke up early and you looked so peaceful and adorable laying there I didn't want to disturb you. And there was no reason for you to be up so early just cause I had to study. Didn't you get the note I left on the nightstand?" she asked him, taking another sip of her coffee before he leaned over and kissed her warmly. It was a kiss of greeting, of familiarity, and it did wonders to calm Calleigh's nerves. "That was nice." she smiled at him. "You should do it again." Calleigh's laugh escaped as she grinned like a fool across the table from him. "So what have you been up to today while i've been slaving away at the library? I'll be so relieved when this last final is over!"

Gavin smiled at Cal from across the table he loved this girl more than anything in the world and finally being able to call her his wife was great, but what hurt was that he couldn’t tell anyone that they were actually a couple. He had that about it more and more over the past months and he was more than ready to be married to her and now that he was he was more worried about screwing everything up and ruining not only just a relationship but a marriage and he didn’t think he would be able to handle losing his Calleigh.

Gavin smiled when she told him that she was sorry that he had to wake up with out here beside him. She knew better than anyone else that he hated waking up alone and not being able to cuddle with her until he was good and ready to get up. Gavin leaned over the table kissing Cal once again when she asked for him to do it once more he loved the fact that he could kiss her and do anything he wanted to with her but he wanted her to wear the ring he had got for her and he wanted to be able to wear one. They had been the it couple forever but know not only where they the it couple they were the it married couple.

Gavin leaned back to his seat taking a drink and finally talking “I was worried I didn’t know you were studying this morning and I got up thinking I was going to be able to cuddle up with my wifey but when I put my arm over on your side you were gone.’’ Gavin smiled at Cal putting the hand on his pocket where the ring box was at wanting to pull it out and put it on her finger but what would people think and then they would have to go through the whole whens the wedding but they had already had one in the little chapel in vages with the other newly married couple, but he knew it wasn’t the wedding Cal had planned on and he would do anything to give her the one she deserved.

Gavin smiled back at Cal putting his hand on hers softly rubbing the top of her hand picking it up to kiss it. ‘’ I didn’t get the note I think it might have feel off when I picked my watch up or something, but I figure it out soon enough and then I went out for a little run and came home and watched tv until you told me to come here.’’ Gavin took another drink of his coke fixing his sunglasses on his tank top and putting his hands back on top of Calleigh’s. ” I can’t believe you still have one final left I mean its crazy to spread them all out this much they should have them all within a week so you could get them done and we could start our summer trips together.’’

Gavin laughed stopping to take a breathe and another drink of coke he couldn’t wait for their summers to start all he wanted to do was sit on the beach with her and be able to call her his wife without anyone from Lipton seeing or hearing them. He knew that sooner or later they would have to tell people and they would have to tell his parents even sooner than that but until the tow of them could figure it out it would stay between them and only them.

Calleigh grinned when Gavin pulled away from their second kiss. The boy certainly could kiss. Maybe if they just stayed in bed all the time, kissing and making love to each other, all of their other problems would just go away. I mean isn't that what married couples did anyway? She couldn't help thinking it to herself as she smiled at her husband across the table. Cal still couldn't quite wrap her mind around the term. Even in her head it seemed strange to use it. Calleigh definitely hadn't pictured her wedding to Gavin happening in a little chapel in Vegas.

Actually, she'd given it quite a bit of thought over the last year or so, when they had started to discuss the possibility more seriously. She wanted a beach wedding, on a beautiful clear day with the surf crashing behind them as they promised to love and respect each other for the rest of their lives, to have and to hold one another through sickness and health. It was actually quite beautiful. The notion of promising yourself to one person for the rest of your life. And without a doubt Calleigh knew that the person she wanted to share her life with was Gavin. She loved him more than she even knew how to express. He had helped save her from herself and the threatening depression that she'd been fighting to escape when she had met him. Unfortunately, this whole situation was bring back all of those dark, irrational thoughts and Calleigh had no idea how to go about stopping them.

Honestly, it scared her to think about going back to that place and having those thoughts fill her head. Like being terrified that Gavin didn't really love her. In her heart Calleigh knew that was the farthest thing from the truth but her head kept sneaking the doubts in. And try as she might she was doing a horrible job at pushing them away. Calleigh tensed slightly as Gavin jokingly called her wifey and glanced around them, making sure no one had overheard him. He'd been using the nickname for her for quite some time but now that it was real, and she really was his wife, Calleigh felt very uncomfortable hearing it. She smiled as Gavin covered her hand and brought it to her lips but it didn't quite reach her eyes and she pulled it away, laying it back on the table only to have him take it again and she just didn't have the heart to pull it away this time.

"I'm sorry babe. I didn't mean to worry you! I guess you and I will just have to stay cuddled in bed all day tomorrow for me to make it up to you." she grinned. Calleigh sipped her coffee again, nervously even though she really shouldn't have any reason to feel so. "And I know my exam schedule sucks. I didn't really have much of a choice about it though. But lucky for both of us I am going back to take it tonight and after that i'm free! And we have all summer to be reckless and carefree!" she joked, although Calleigh couldn't help thinking that they had already been rather reckless, going and getting married the way they had. "And what trips are we going on exactly? Is there something you aren't telling me?" Calleigh asked with a grin.

It would be just like Gavin to plan a vacation for them and surprise her with it. It was one of the things she loved most about him, how amazing he was to her and how much he spoiled her. She really was one of the luckiest girls in the world. She needed to remember that when all of the dark thoughts and doubts and the little voice in her head saying that Gavin didn't really love her tried to sneak their way through. And she could totally see him planning a getaway as a kind of honeymoon. Although, they would be the only ones who knew what it actually was.

[gavin tate henley]

All of this scared Gavin he didn't know what he was going to do about finally being married and actually being able to call Calleigh his wife. Gavin was so worried he would end up screwing things up he didn't really know how to prioritize his life and he put everything else before him and Cal's relationship and over the past three years she had excepted it but now it was different they we rent just dating they were a married couple now and he had to learn not to put others before his marriage. Gavin was going to do all he could to make this work and make Calliegh happy and show her that he cared and loved her.

Gavin smile when she told him that she was sorry that she had to leave and she would make it up to him by cuddling, kissing, and making love to him all day tomorrow. Gavin loved their days that were spent laying in bed cuddled up under the blanket kissing each other their legs getting all tangled up with each others. He could remember their first time ever making love with each other like it was yesterday. He had met her in a summer class for college and he had spent most of the semester gaining the courage to talk to her and ask her out for dinner.

Calleigh and him had hit it off from the word go and they never looked back she had been the one thing he had been looking for all his life and after a month of talking everyday they had finally made love to each other. That night had been they best night of his life and if he had to guess it had been Cal's too, but now all the sudden he was worried she wasnt trusting him and that she was having her own doubts. " I'm going to hold you to that Cal tomorrow we are going to stay in bed all day we wont move unless its to get something to eat or... well you know do something else.''

Gaving smiled at what he had just said Cal always frowned on him talking about their sex life in public, but she never got truely mad at him and would forgive him quicker then she had gotten mad. Gavin leaned back over the table he couldnt help it he loved the taste of her lips and all he wanted to do was take her home right now and undress her and finally be able to make love to Cal as his wife. " I'm so glad this is your last final when you get home tonight i will have a surprise for you but you have to tell me when your done with it so i can get ready.''

Gavin looked around the coffee shop seeing if their kissing had drawn any attention to them, but he could see that everyone was still in their own little world and he and cal were just a second thought. " So this summer i am thinking we go to florida or something just me and you on the beach for two or three weeks. We wont have to worry about anyone seeing us'' Gavin trailed off but started speaking in just a whisper again. '' It can be like a honey moon for us i mean i have to make up for the whole wedding in vages i know thats not how you planned it and neither did i am very sorry...''

Gavin finally pulled the box out of his pocket putting it on the table where only Cal could see and opening it up to show her the ring. He knew she couldnt wear it on her finger until they came out and told everyone but he had a plan. Gaving pulled out the ring and attached to it was a white gold chain so she could wear it around her neck and keep it hidden if she wanted. " I hope you like it and i hope it fits i couldnt remember the size, but we can get it resized if we need to..''

Calleigh had been thinking about their past and how many amazing memories she and Gavin shared a lot in the few weeks that had passed since they had returned to Lipton from Las Vegas. There was nothing like getting married to make you remember what had made you fall in love with someone in the first place. She tried desperately to remember how new and exciting their relationship had been when they'd first met. She'd come to Lipton for school early, deciding to take a few summer classes, just so that she would be able to escape California and all of the painful memories that it had held that much faster.

Little did she know that it would be the best decision she had ever made. It still made her smile and thank the powers that be that she and Gav had ended up in that class together. He had completely taken her by surprise, from left field, out of the blue, every cliché saying you could think of. Cal had been unbelievably attracted to him, not just physically, but his personality as well. Lucky for her he'd felt the same. And she hadn't been able to stay away from him for long, despite how hesitant she was to open up to somebody after everything she had been through with her ex and what she'd dealt with in high school and her miscarriage.

She was going to have to tell him. Calleigh knew it but revealing that secret to him, that dark part of herself and her past that she'd tried so hard to keep hidden from everyone scared the crap out of her. How was Gavin going to react when she told him that not only had she gotten pregnant when she'd been sixteen but that she'd lost the baby and that her boyfriend had cheated on her with one of her closest friends? Calleigh was terrified that he wouldn't love her anymore once he learned the truth. After all, she hadn't necessarily lied to him but she had avoided telling him about her past for three years and how could he want to spend his life with someone who'd been through what she had. Have future children with that person?

Attempting to stay in the moment and stop the voices circling in her brain Calleigh clapped her hands together and grinned at Gavin across the table. "Ooooo I love surprises! I can't wait!" she exclaimed with a giggle. "And I should probably be finished by around seven or eight o'clock. So you'll have plenty of time to prepare." Cal's smile grew even brighter as Gavin started describing how he wanted to get away to the beach for a couple of weeks, just the two of them in their own little world, secluded from everything, where they could just be. It sounded heavenly. "I think that is a fabulous plan for summer. Can we go day after tomorrow?" she only half joked with him, anxious to get away from everyone in Lipton. Calleigh was convinced that they would let their secret accidentally slip.

Leaning closer to Gavin as he leaned toward her she glanced around as he whispered that he wanted it to be a kind of honeymoon for them. To make up for the quick, not so elegant, wedding in Vegas. It was actually quite sweet and just like him to want to do something like that for her. Hey, maybe they could even figure out what the hell being married meant if they spent a little time away with just each other. She smiled at him sweetly. "I think that sounds really nice. And stop apologizing. Neither one of us planned to get married," Calleigh couldn't stop herself from glancing to see if anyone was standing behind her as she said it, totally paranoid that their secret was going to get out. "But it happened and it was both of our choice. We need to figure out what we're going to do about it now. Not apologize to each other."

Calleigh was not expecting the next thing Gavin did to be pulling out a ring box, revealing a gorgeous diamond that looked like it had been made for her. Clearly he had spent some time picking out just the right one, even if he hadn't been totally sure of what size ring she wore. Calleigh felt her breath catch in her throat as she gazed down at the gleaming diamond, hidden from prying eyes so just she could see. And he'd already attached a chain to it, she noted as he pulled it out from the box. Of course he would think of something like that because she obviously couldn't wear it around her finger. Calleigh was speechless. She just stared at Gavin for a few moments.

"I don't know what to say baby." she finally exclaimed. "It's beautiful! Perfect" Reaching out her hand Calleigh gently took the ring from Gavin's hand and examined it. Her finger itched for her to put it on, where it belonged she knew, but she knew it wasn't a possibility. Instead she unclasped the chain and fastened it around her neck, laying her hand over it as she smiled across the table at her husband. This was surreal. "I don't have a ring for you though. It feels like you should have one too." she confessed, her gaze dropping to stare at her coffee container.

[gavin tate henley]

Gavin leaned back in his chair reaching across the table but instead of taking Cal’s hand he grabbed her drink taking a small sip and making a funny face as it went down. He didn’t care for coffee but every once and a while he would drink a cup with Cal. ” I don’t see how you drink that nasty stuff.’’ Gavin put her coffee back in front of her and then took his coke washing the taste out of his mouth as Cal talking about how she loved surprises and when she would be back home so he could start preparing for his surprise which was just dinner and a lot of movies that they could cuddle up on the couch and just be together with each other.

That’s what he loved so much about Cal even though she was the most beautiful girl in the world she didn’t care if they spent the night cuddled up with take out and movies. Honestly he figured she liked that more than going out and having to get all dressed up for some fancy dinner, and he felt the same way even though he could do it and would for her he enjoyed spending their time together alone cuddled up with old movies playing as they talked about anything that popped into their heads. Gavin putt his hand over Cal’s when she finished speaking he could tell she was happy with everything the vacation plans the ring everything, but he also knew something was wrong.

” It’s not really a big surprise I mean you know the normal end of the school year routine, but I figured instead of takeout I would actually cook this time and try not to burn the apartment down. The neighbors might think I’m trying to cover my tracks if that happens.’’ Gavin gave Cal a big grin he knew she didn’t approve of the game he played with the new neighbors’ but he had to have some fun while she was away slaving over the books and pestering and freaking the neighbors out was the most fun he had in ages. ” I think they are figuring out I’m not really a spy though because they seem to be playing along more… So now I need to come home with some blood on me or something.’’

Gavin let out a laugh and leaned in kissing Cal assuring her not to worry and he wouldn’t take the game that far and then continued on about the vacation. “ Yeah we could leave tomorrow if you really wanted I don’t care mom and dad are out of town for the summer so its not like we have to be here.’’ He knew she was joking about leaving there would be no way she would pack that fast and be ready to leave in a day, but he would do anything to make her happy and if It meant leaving Lipton with only a day to pack he would do it. Gavin was just as ready to get out of Lipton and be able to be with Calleigh as his wife without anyone they knew seeing them.

Gavin smiled as he watched Calleigh put the chain around her neck he wanted more than anything for her to be able to put it on her finger and wear it around proud and show off his wife, but for now he knew what that ring around her neck meant and that was good enough for him. ” I’m glad I you love it Calleigh It took me a while to make the pick but once I saw that one I knew you would love it, and I guessed at the size if it doesn’t fit right when you get home tonight we will go tomorrow get it resized before we leave on our vacation.’’ Gavin laughed he needed to lighten the mood a little he was always a jokester and all these serious moments where finally getting to him he knew he was married to Cal and he was happy about it but he could stay serious for long he needed to get his worries out by joking. ” Don’t worry about me having one Cal, but if you want me to have one we will go get one and i will be more than happy to have it around my neck so at least I know I’m yours and you are mine.’’

Gavin kissed the top of Calleigh’s hand smiling at her when he looked back up he wanted to just go home and be with her but the stupid finale was ruining everything ” I wonder how bad it would be if you just skipped this finale and came home with me I mean would it really hurt you?’’ Gavin said in a joking manner he knew she couldn’t leave but he could at least try to talk her into it what kind of boyfriend would he be if he didn’t try to make her choose him over some stupid test?

Callieigh's grin spread across her face as she watched Gavin snag her coffee cup and take a sip of it. She was well aware that Gav didn't really like coffee all that much but occasionally he would choke some down. Although she thought that had more to do with her benefit than him actually liking it. Still it was sweet. From the expression on his face though Calleigh figured that her caramel macchiato didn't exactly agree with him. Laughing as he gave it back to her and quickly washed the taste away with his own coke she shook her head at him. "Oh I love it!" she replied with a grin. "It's pretty much my life source. I would not be your happy, cheerful Cal without it!" she commented semi jokingly.

Her smile grew even brighter as Gavin revealed that he was planning to make her dinner to celebrate her being finished with exams and the start of their summer together. It was adorable. Gav was even more of a homebody than she was. Though it was true that Calleigh certainly didn't mind spending the evening at home curled up with him watching movies or whatever. Most nights she did prefer it to going out and being surrounded by people. Gavin was all she really needed. "That sounds like a perfect evening and end to these dreaded exams. Although its not much of a surprise anymore now is it?" she teased him. He never could keep anything from her for very long.

There he was talking about this game he'd started up, messing with the neighbor's heads. It was quite silly really and Calleigh pretended to be far more bothered by it than she actually was. She found it quite humorous but there was no need to let him know that. Besides it was fun to reprimand him about it. Now she just shook her head at him. "You're ridiculous! Of course they are catching on! You're not actually a spy!" she laughed, adding a hint of exasperation to her voice for Gav's benefit. "And I'd be more than willing to help you with that blood on your shirt thing. Though we'd probably need more privacy than in the middle of the coffee shop." she joked. It felt so good to just joke around with him and be their normal selves without all the doubts and fears getting in the way.

It was tempting to agree to hoping in the car and leaving for vacation tomorrow just because it was so obvious that Gavin didn't believe that she would actually do it. And Calleigh had to admit that she did pack just like a girl, taking half of her wardrobe for a little trip. But how was she suppose to know what she was going to want to wear or what the weather would end up being like? She needed options! She did want to leave as soon as they could manage it. Calleigh was very anxious for their time apart from everyone else, to get back to being the fabulous couple they'd been for years. Vacation couldn't start soon enough in her opinion. "How about we leave in a couple days?" she asked. That would give her plenty of time to pack and for them to finalize all their plans. "It's a shame that we won't get to spend any time with your parents this summer though. Where did they go again?"

Hearing Gavin refer to them belonging each other warmed Calleigh's heart. That was what their wedding bands were suppose to symbolize and there wasn't anything she quite wanted as much as to belong to Gavin. And as important as it was to him for her to wear his ring it was equally important to her. Calleigh smiled warmly across the table from him and not caring that they were in a public place she stood up and moved to sit in his lap and wrap her arms around his neck. She kissed in warmly, keeping the sudden rush of passion she get contained. "Thank you. I do want us to get you one though. If we're really going to do this then it's important to me." she revealed. It was the first time that she had acknowledged their marriage as something real, something that was apart of their future. "I will definitely try it on to make sure it fits when I get home tonight." she smiled.

She laughed and rested her head on Gavin's shoulder for a second before she grinned into his eyes. "Trust me I've never been more tempted to drop everything and go home and make love to you for hours and hours." she whispered the last part into his ear so only he could hear what she said. Calleigh subtly licked his ear lobe as well for good measure before she pulled back to look at him and grin. "Alas, I can not miss my exam and we will just have to suffer until I come home tonight. Though dinner may have to wait until after I jump you." she confessed, knowing she was driving Gavin crazy and loving every second of it.
