I knocked on the door and a couple of minutes later Willam appeared. "Bitch!" She said as she pulled me into a hug. "Why didn't you tell me you were coming?"
"Thought I'd surprise you."
"No, you wanted to surprise Sharon."
"Shut up."
"What shame." Willam sighed.
"What?"
"You're gonna have to stop at Sharon's house, Katya is staying with me."
"Are you kidding me?"
"Nope, and you won't see Chad, he's working away."
"Can I at least come in?"
"Fine, I'll drop you off at hers later."
"Thanks." I stepped inside and Willam closed the door as I dropped my bag on the floor.
"It's your birthday tomorrow, isn't it?" Will asked as I followed her into the living room.
"Yeah."
"We'll get some people and go to the bar then move on somewhere, sound like a plan?"
"Sounds perfect."

"Come on." I let Willam carry my bag up to the front door. I sighed before following her up the path. She knocked on the door and Aaron shouted from inside. Willam picked up my bag once more and pushed open the door. We slipped inside and I closed the door behind us. "I have surprise for you!" Willam called out to Aaron.
"What?" Aaron muttered as we entered the living room.
"Lasky is staying with you."
"What?"
"Hi." I smiled.
"I text you and you didn't reply so I presumed you dead." Aaron shrugged.
"Nice to know you care." I laughed.
"Anyway, it's Lasky's birthday tomorrow so we're going to the bar tonight for a while so slip us some drinks, I know you're working."
"I'll see what I can do."
"You're the best."
"I know."
"I'll leave you two lovebirds to it." Willam laughed as she left the room, closing the door behind her. "She's a freak." I muttered as I sat down next to Aaron.
"You're only just figuring that out?"
"I love her to pieces though."
"You love me more, right?" Aaron asked before pulling me closer.
"Obviously."
"Do you want your present today or tomorrow?"
"You got me a present?"
"Duh, I didn't just forget your birthday."
"You're cute."
"I'm not cute, I'm sexy."
" Whatever you say."
"Well I can easily tell everyone you used to keep a diary." Aaron laughed.
"It was a journal!" I said before hitting Aaron with a cushion.
"And who did you write about in this journal?"
"I might just go back home if you're going to keep bullying me." I said as I dropped the cushion back on the couch. "Love you really." Aaron said as he pulled me closer and kissed me on the forehead. "What are you doing for your actual birthday?"
"I'm going back home."
"I'll come with you." I started to snigger. "Get your mind out the gutter." I continued to laugh. "Well, I'm going to get your present." Aaron headed upstairs and returned moments later holding two poorly wrapped presents. "Wrapping isn't my forte." He laughed as he sat down next to me. He handed me one of the presents and sat staring at me. "This one is a bit cheesy, but I couldn't think what to get you, and I just thought it was something you'd like." I tore the paper a pulled out a photo album. I opened it and flipped through, looking at all the photos. "Is this..." I trailed off.
"All of the photos we've ever taken together."
"We look gross there." I laughed as I pointed at one of the photos.
"Do you like it?"
"I love it, thank you."
"This one, isn't exactly for you."
"Okay?"
"It's mine but I wanted you to see it." Aaron handed over the second present. I tore the paper and smiled. I held up the frame and smiled at the photo. "I changed it back for you."
"You didn't have to."
"I wanted to; I'm going to give it to my mom until I've broken up with Chad."
"You don't have to."
"What?"
"We can go back to being just friends."
"No, I'm doing this, I want you."
