You're mine |18+|

Chapter 5

As of today, I have completed my 18th year on this earth, isn't that exciting? Wooo... If I'm being honest, I don't care nor do I like my birthday. There isn't anything exciting about it, but I love my brother's birthday. I stand quietly at his bedside waiting for the perfect moment to scare him out of a good sleep. "Happy Birthday Luke!!!!"

The way he jumped and struggled to get into defense mode was the best birthday present within itself. "DAMMIT HARLEQUINN WHY?"

"It's your birthday stupid." I shove his present in his face.

"Our birthday." He corrects me and pulls a gift bag out from under his bed. "Let's open them at the same time." We countdown from three but of course, like every single year, he waits to watch me open mine first. It's a Promise ring. "HarleQuinn Alvarez, I promise to be there for everything you face in the future, good or bad, I'll be there to celebrate and to mourn with you. I won't let sickness get to me like it got to Dad, he doesn't get to be here for your first heartbreak or even your last. I will make sure I'm there to comfort you and to beat the ass of anyone who makes my little sister cry because we both know Gabriel won't do it. Happy birthday to my Irish twin, HarleQuinn."

"Aw, it almost made me cry. Only because you brought up Dad though. Now open yours, douche."

"Front row tickets to a Lil Uzi Vert concert?! Sweet!" He squeezed me so hard I could feel my organs being squished. "So when are we gonna go?"

"We?" He waved the two tickets in my face like I was not the one who bought them. "Those are for you and Marlow. She likes him too so I thought it would be the perfect second date idea for you two. I got the tickets two months in advance."

"¡Feliz cumpleaños mis bebes!"

"Thank you, Mami"

"So do you guys have any plans for today?" She walked over and gave us kisses on our foreheads.

"No I don't want to do anything today-" My phone buzzes repeatedly; the notifications read: Dress comfortably, then come outside. "I think I may be going on a date?"

Mom and Luke laughed as if they already knew. I stood there and squinted at them waiting for answers, but they both shooed me out of the room and closed the door behind me. I rushed to take a shower and pick out the cutest outfit. It was the black Hello Kitty rhinestone jumpsuit.

Outside was the 2023 Lexus LS that everyone at school referred to as the "Hottie Mobile", so corny. But I have to admit, this may be the first time I'm happy to see the driver.

He got out and opened the door for me like a gentleman, a rare sight to see. "I'm gonna make sure you have the best birthday ever sweetheart."

"Don't make me regret this." I rolled my eyes.

"I can tell you're getting used to me, you don't get mad nor do you catch a big attitude with me  anymore. I like that."

"Today is just me enjoying my birthday and giving you a chance to redeem yourself from middle school so shut up and drive."

"Don't get too comfortable, remember who you're talking to, beautiful."

Skyler POV

Over the past few days, I've been thinking about what I should do for Quinn's birthday. She's not a fancy person, but she also isn't a total dirtbag. I've got the perfect place for her. After almost a two-hour long car ride we arrived at an indoor warplay theme park. She had fallen asleep on the way here, I never woke her up because she looked so cute and comfortable. I took my phone out and took a picture of myself making sure to include sleeping beauty in the background. She's so precious. "C'mon princess."
