It's in the accent (Chris's story pt1)

Not one the other

I turned back to the ocean as Dimitri walked away calling something out to Xander as he went.

"You have the sweetest hottest cousin ever" I jumped as Miranda interrupted my thoughts and hugged me from behind.

"So I take it you had a good time" I smiled pushing my worries and confused thoughts to the back of my mind

"We had a blast, we went shopping for your bir..." she stopped herself

"My What?"

"Birthday present" she moaned "I shouldn't have told you" she looked up and swatted me.

"Ow"

"Why didn't you tell me it was your birthday soon" she couldn't wipe the smile from her face

"I don't like a fuss being made" I shrugged; after my 17th birthday was forgotten by both of my parents as Mom was in Asia on a book tour and Dad was busy with football. "So what else did you guys get up to?"

"We had lunch and went to the park and walked and talked" she was swaying and grinning from ear to ear "and then he kissed me"

'Kissed you?" I chuckled

"Oh Yeah..." she sighed "nothing like the gum swapping you and Niko did" she teased "He held my face in his hands and moved in and his lips.. oh he has really soft lips" she murmured as her eyes glazed over

"Oh way to much information" I wrinkled my nose making her blush.

"Sorry... so what sort of day did you have?"

"Rough as hell" I said running my hand through my hair"

You want to talk about it?"

"No it's okay" I patted her arm "So what am I getting for my birthday?"

"You'll have to wait and see" she giggled "So what's happening with you and the two hot Russians we have in school?" I shot her the don't go there look. "Sorry... Come on" she linked my arm and we walked over to where Dimitri and Xander we piling the wood into the fire pit for later on.

"You're phones been ringing" Xander looked up at me

"Did you answer it?"

"No why would I?" he smiled shaking his head as I pulled it from my bag, Dimitri was watching me intently as it started to ring ion my hand.

"From one to the other" I muttered answering it
