A River Flows Through Us

One More Wish Please...

   I turned off the alarm, and Knox let out a moan. Falling back down on Knox's bare chest. My room was cold, and he was warm. I let out a deep breathe.

      "I have to get up." I say quietly.

     Knox didn't open his eyes, but his arm around my waist tightened.

"Knox." I say softly. Nothing. So i leaned up to kiss his lips softly. Knox reacted by moving his other hand to move my hair out the way, pushing it behind my ear. His other arm around my waist loosened so i moved to sit on his lap, straddling him.

I pulled away from the kiss sitting up straight. Knox's eyes opened, with small pout on his face. "I have to get up Knox." I say. Knox looked over at the clock to see it's almost 2AM. Knox raised an eyebrow as to why we only slept for 3 hours. So I continued. "It's tradition, today is a very important birthday, so we have to wake them up with cake, a cake which me and Liz have to make.-" At this moment the door to my room opens quietly, I knew it would be Lizzy. We both watched not moving. She plugged in the lights on my wall quickly. A orange light illuminated the room. Lizzy's back was still to us as she stood up.

"Baby G you awake-" Lizzy said but cut herself off when she finally turned seeing the position we were in, with me on top of Knox, who was also shirtless.

"Let's be honest this isn't the worst thing you have walked in on me doing." I say.

     "Sorry to interrupt, Ill just be in the kitchen." Lizzy said with a huge grin on her face. I let out a laugh coving my face and fall down to Knox's chest. He wrapped his arms around me, rubbing my back.

"You better not keep her waiting." Knox said letting out a little chuckle. I nod and sit back up tall. Knox moved to a sitting position, and I pull him into a long kiss. After a few moments Knox pulls away.

"Grace?" Knox said

"I'm going." I say pulling his lips back to me. Kissing him again. Knox moved his hands up my back.

"Grace, you better go before you start something you can't finish." Knox said. i let out a giggle, and kiss him one last time, moving off of him to put some clothes on. I put on an over sized black t shirt, and some pajamas shorts. I also put on a pair white of socks. I walk over to the door, opening it and smile back to Knox, before walking out the door and closing it.

In the kitchen, Lizzy was already starting to mix some of the ingredients in a bowl. Kayden was sitting at the counter drinking coffee out of a mug. I smile at both of them.

"Good morning, to you." Lizzy said with a smirk. "How did you sleep?"

"Was it nice and long?" Kayden said wiggling his eyebrows. I push his head, but not to hard, making all of us laugh.

After we put the cake in the over, all three of us went to get ready. When i got back into my room Knox had fallen asleep again. So i quickly showered and changed into my dark green dress. I slide on my birkenstocks. My hair was in two dutch braids and walk over to Knox.

"Time to get up." I say sweetly. I sat on the edge of the bed. Knox's eyes fluttered open, looking at me and smiling.

"You never told me who birthday it is." Knox said.

"We'll get up and you will find out." I say with a chuckle. Knox let out a breathe and sat up. I continue "You have about 30 minutes, then we are all leaving, okay?" Knox nodded and pulled me into a kiss. It was small, and sweet. I stood up and grabbed my bag and phone, and walk back into the kitchen. Bella and Lizzy were both fully dressed finishing the cake.
