Unedited

Sam's POV

I shift in my sleep feeling stiff. I slight pain shoots through me making me groan. I feel  fingers run through my hair. I open my eyes and am met with a pair of blue ones.

Taylor lay on the edge of the couch  pressing me into the back. She was leaning on her elbow watching me.

She brushed hair out of my face. She traced my jaw and down to my shoulder. She mindlessly traces shaped on it.

"I'm going to take Monday off so I can spend the day with you" she said lowly. I rack my brain trying to figure out what's so special about Monday. "Why monday?" I try to speak but my voice breaks.

Taylor giggled and I feel my face heat up. Her hand dropped to my waist and pulls me closer.

"Because I wouldn't want to spend my 25th birthday with anyone else" she said a smile forming on her lips. My heart speeds up and I stare into her eyes.

"I-i" my head buzzed, I can't believe I didn't know. I feel so bad and hide my face in her neck. She giggled and brushed her fingers through my hair.

I woke up early, trying to beat Taylor. I went down to the kitchen and stsrt making her coffee. I don't know what she has planned today.

I felt strange letting her plan her own birthday but she insisted. I don't know how to plan a party for someone like Taylor so I guess it's ok.

I hold the cup of coffee in both hands. Walking down the hall my heart starts to race. I don't know if she doesn't want me in her room or if it's just never happened.

I stand infront of the door shaking slightly. I don't want to wake her up but what if she is already awake? I raise a shaky hand to nock but I can't seem to make myself.

I readjusted my fist, I need to just nock.  It's just Taylor, not some she devil lunatic. I shift in place and was about to knock when the door swings open.

Taylor stands infront a bit surprised to see me standing there. I slowly lowered my fist, feeling very embarrassed.  My cheeks heat up and my gaze travels to the floor.

"I... um.. brought you coffee" I said keeping my eyes on the floor. She takes the mug from my hand and tilts my face up to meet her.

"Thanks princess" she said leaving a kiss on my forehead. My face heats up and I attempted to hide it.  She chuckled as she walks past me back downstairs.

My heart beats fast against my chest. I take some deep breaths before carefully making my way down stairs. I peak my head around the corner and find taylor cooking.

"It's not nice to stare babe" she said not looking up from what she was doing.my face boils as I step out from around the corner. "I wasn't" I say.

I fidget with my hands as she continues. I finally take a deep breath and walk up behind her. I rap my arms around her torso grabbing her shirt; I lean my forehead against her back.

"Happy Birthday Tay" I Mumbled into her back. Her movement had stopped and she was still. I released the grip from her shirt as she turned around, still keeping my arms around her.
