Lizzie's POV.

The timing is perfect, Valen is off to meet my family at the company to work on next season's designs, which gives me the perfect time to plan for her birthday. 

I've spent the next thirty minutes making calls to make sure my plan is going perfectly, everything is going the way I want it to and I'm thrilled about that.

My phone buzzes and I smile as I see the name on the screen.

V-"Hello beautiful angel"
L-"Hello my love"
V-"What are you doing?"
L-"Thinking of you"
V-"Oh you're so cheesy, I love it."
L-"Just for you... how are things at the company?"
V-"Everything's good, we've made a lot of progress on the designs... your family wants us to go to lunch today all together, do you think you can come and join us?"
L-"Sure, I'll be on my way."
V-"great! See you here my love".
L-"I love you"
V-"I love you"

We hung up the call and I drove to our company. When I arrived there were paparazzi waiting at the entrance to take pictures of us. I walked towards the door while they shouted things at me.

"Hey Lizzie what's Valentina doing here?" "Are you dating her?" "How's your family?" "Is it true that you and Valentina are engaged?" "Are the rumors true or are they just rumors?"

I decided to do what Valen always does, just ignore all their questions, I greeted all the workers that crossed my path. I am finally in front of the design room where I can see my girlfriend and my family in there through the glass walls.

Valen looks so focused, I swear she looks so cute and her jaw is tense as she thinks. I opened the door and her eyes fell on me. I felt a little nervous feeling her intense gaze on me, I could feel my face getting hot and so I knew I was blushing.

"Oh hi there tomato" Ash says causing me to break eye contact with my girlfriend and now look at her.
"Hey sis" I said.
I walked towards my parents and greeted them each with a kiss on the cheek, Valentina followed my movement with her eyes carefully.

"Hi love" she whispers once I'm in front of her.
"Hello angel" I said and saw a smile appear on her face as she heard me say that.
"I missed you" she says leaving a peck on my lips.
"I missed you too baby" I gave her a peck too.
"Ugh it's so annoying, I wish I had a Valen too" MK says and I roll my eyes.

After talking for a while, we made our way outside the company, Valen and I got in my car while the other part of my family left in MK's car. The paparazzi asked us a few questions but no one said anything.

When we got to Valen's favourite sushi restaurant, NOBU restaurant, we all wanted Japanese food and she said she knew the perfect place. Paparazzi were everywhere, this place is well known for celebrity appearances here. Once we got out of the car Valen took my hand in hers and we walked to the door.

They took thousands of pictures of us and my family, we entered the restaurant and were taken to our table, we all sat down and started talking.

"Lizzie you have to see the new designs your sisters and Valen have been working on, they are incredibly beautiful" my dad says.
"I will" I said excitedly.
"You have a very talented girlfriend" mum says making valentina smile shyly.
"I know mum" I said and gave my girlfriend a kiss on her cheek.

Now we are feeling more demonstrative in public, we don't kiss each other on the mouth in public yet but we don't let that reduce our public displays of affection.

"So Valen, your birthday is coming up, are you thinking of having a party or something?" MK asks after our waiter took our order.
"Well, I don't think I'll be having a party this year like I usually do."
"Why?" Ash asks.
"I want to spend my birthday with Lizzie, so I invited her to go to Aspen with me."
"That's very romantic" MK says in complaint making Valen laugh.
"Wouldn't you like to have your family with you that day?" my dad asked referring to the Kardashian-Jenners.
"Yeah, but I'm sure they'll throw me a party once I get back from the trip" she says simply.
"Oh I see" dad adds.
"Yeah, I'm so lucky to have them in my life, they always try to make my birthdays special and they always succeed...I just wish I could spend my birthday with my parents too but they're not here."
"Well honey I know it's not the same, but we're here for you, you're like another daughter to us," mum says.
"Thank you Jarnett, that really means a lot."

The food arrived and it was delicious, my girlfriend looked happy, she and my family have a very sweet relationship, that makes me very happy.

I felt her hand on my thigh and she reached out for me to take it, I instantly did, she looked at me with a smile and I could swear her eyes sparkled at the sight of me.

She mouthed "I love you" and I did the same, I am literally in the most beautiful relationship in the world, I know we are not perfect but we have been working to get better.

"When are you going to Aspen?" Mom asked.
"Tomorrow" Valen said simply.
"Do you guys have any plans for when you're there?" Ash asks interested.
"Maybe? It's a surprise," I said.
"Oh so you have a surprise for me then" my girlfriend says excitedly.
"Probably" I said with a giggle.
"Oh I can't wait" she says making us all laugh at her excitement.
"How long will you guys be there for?" MK asks.
"A week" I replied.
"Valen don't you think it would be cool if you took me too...I mean I can be better company than Lizzie" MK adds.
"You wish" I said rolling my eyes annoyed.
"No, you wish you were even a little bit as cool as I am" MK adds laughing at my angry face.
"MK stop picking on your sister" dad interrupts.
"Yeah, stop you idiot, she's mine" I said sticking my tongue out at her.
"I'd love for you guys to come with me but I understand you guys have a busy schedule" my girlfriend says politely.
"We could do it another time" my mum says.
"Of course, I'd love that" she says with a smile.

We finish our lunch and say goodbye to my family, we head back to my girlfriend's house. Once there she took me to her big backyard saying she had something to show me. She made me close my eyes as she guided me to where she wanted us to go.

"Okay, one more step" she says and I did as she asked.
"Can I open now?" I asked impatiently.
"Yes, you can open now love"
I opened my eyes and couldn't believe what she had done.
"Oh my god this is so cool"
"Do you like it?" She asked reaching behind me.
"I love it baby"
"Perfect because I made it especially for you, I know how much you love planting, harvesting and all that" she explained.

"Oh babe that's so sweet, I love it, thank you thank you" between kisses

"Oh babe that's so sweet, I love it, thank you thank you" between kisses.
"You're welcome, now come there's someone waiting for you".
"Someone?" I asked confused as she led me by the hand inside the house again.

We went to the living room and I find my best friend sitting on the couch, God this day just keeps getting better and better. My heart is full of happiness.
