next week is hollands birthday, surprise birthday here we come!

I was talked to beverly, Hollands best friend, and planned it with her. I was going to take holland out for an early dinner and when we got back, all her friends would be there.

"happy birthday", I said as holland rolled over facing me

"oh don't remind me", she groaned moving into my arms

"come on honey!, why don't we go have coffee and you can open your presents"

"no I want to sleep more", holland whined

"hollands it's already ten thirty, and it's your birthday!"

"so?"

"so! darling that fact that you were born is the best thing in the world, I thank the universe for you every second I'm alive"

"yeah but the universe didn't need to make me older"

"okay grumpy, well I'm getting up, and I'm going to order you those pastries, that you love", I said starting to get up but I was stopped when I felt hollands hand on my thigh

"no please don't go. you know what would make my birthday the best?"

"what", I laughed

"if we just lay in bed, and when the food arrives we can just eat it here"

"fine", I said crawling back into bed "but I'm taking you out for dinner"

"okay", holland whispered kissing me a couple times before falling asleep on my chest


its was about 12 now and was going to get hollands present.

"okay close your eyes"

"okay", holland sighed

I walked over to the bed and placed the presents on her lap

"you can open your eyes now", I said sitting behind holland, leg on either side of her

"Sarah, I said you were only allowed to get me one small thing"

"I know but I got carried away....come on open them"

"okay", holland replied giving me a quick kiss before opening the first present

"do you like it?"

"like it, Sarah, I love it. how did you even?"

"well I got Karla to help me"

holland held up the pants and matching jacket, just like the one her mother used to wear.

"oh honey, thank you!", holland smiled leaning back to give me another kiss

"open the next one"

holland opened the box, containing the jewellery set that holland had been thinking about buying for over a year now.

"sweetheart!"

"is that the one you wanted, I can take it back", holland cut me off by pulling me in for a long kiss, to which we both smiled into

"you're extraordinary"

holland opened the last present which was the biggest one

"I don't even know what to say", holland said laughing uncontrollably

"when I threw out this painting you were so mad, so I got another one"

"I loved that painting", holland said holding my hand
