"happy birthday!" i heard someone yell before feeling a weight on my body. i groaned loudly as i heard my mom laugh. it was a couple days later, and sure enough, my birthday.
"ow!" i said and pushed them off, looking over and seeing JJ. "what the hell man? i was sleeping."
"it's your birthday, you're officially twenty." he said.
"yeah and i wanted to sleep in."
"come on, lazy." my mom smiled. "we're going out to breakfast."
"okay," i sat up. "let me get changed."
"hurry, i'm hungry." JJ said and slipped off my bed and walked out. i looked to my mom as she laughed.
"happy birthday honey."
"thanks mom." i smiled. she walked out and i got up, getting changed and brushing my teeth and hair. i grabbed a pair of shoes and my phone, hurrying down the stairs.
"let's go," my mom said as i slipped my shoes on. we hurried out to her car and took the drive to the club and into the restaurant. we got sat in a booth, my mom on one side with JJ and i on the other.
"this all looks so good." JJ pulled the menu open.
"you act like you haven't eaten in four days." i said and messed up his hair.
"not the hair," he pushed my hand off. "and it feels like i haven't eaten in four days."
"grumpy," i smiled.
"what are you hungry for?" my mom asked and looked at me.
"i don't know," i shrugged. "maybe some pancakes or something."
"pancakes sound so amazing." JJ added.
after we all chose what we wanted, we ordered and ate.
"i'm stuffed." i dropped my napkin on the table.
"me too," JJ said and burped as i laughed.
"nasty." i said.
"it's human nature, shut up."
"okay, we've got to get going, we need to get to the restaurant." my mom dropped cash on the table as we all stood, headed for the door as i placed my arm around JJ.
"adulting, having to work on your birthday." i smiled.
"ha, you're old." JJ mocked.
we walked out of the restaurant and turned the corner, headed to the car as we bumped straight into someone.
"i'm sorry," i said and looked over, letting my eyes catch with rafe's. i felt my breath catch in my throat as my heart started to ache, seeing cami and another man walk up behind him. cami had the baby in her arms.
"hey," rafe said softly.
"i, uh, sorry again." i said and pulled away, walking past him.
"ainsley!" JJ called after me. i got to the car and started pulling on the door handle before my mom finally unlocked the car and let the door fly open.
"hey," rafe said and pushed it shut softly as he looked down at me. i let my eyes trail up to his.
"what?" i asked.
"i'm having a party tonight." he said. "meet me in the basement after you get off work?"
"no," i shook my head. "i'm not coming to your stupid party, rafe."
"please," he begged. "i want to talk to you, i need to talk to you."
"say it now." i shrugged.
"ainsley, please." he said.
