Having Lily in Savannah has made me so much happier. The guys have noticed it, too. They always say I seem happier with Lily around. Before she moved to Savannah, I hadn't seen her since about a week after Thanksgiving. We FaceTimed every day but it wasn't the same. She's been my rock ever since college. Her support these last five years has been incredible. I woke up shortly after eight, and Lily was still asleep, one of her arms strewn across my torso. I played with her hair for a bit before I felt her shift. She rubbed her eyes and looked up at me.
"Morning," I whisper.
"Hi," she whispers back.
We lay in silence for a few minutes before I look over and see a box that I thought I mailed last month. I groan internally when I realize what was in the box. It was Lily's birthday present. I get up and grab the box, placing it in Lily's lap.
"Baby, what is this," she asks.
"This is your birthday present that I thought I mailed but I must've forgotten about it with the tour," I tell her.
She opens the box and her eyes go wide. She loves Marvel, so I got us matching bracelets and necklaces along with a ring and the Air Force 1s she's been wanting.

"Noah, I love them."
"Do you wanna wear Captain America or Winter Soldier," I ask her.
"Captain America because you're the Bucky to my Steve."
She kisses me and I wrap my arms around her from behind. She puts the ring on her finger and leans into my touch.
"As much as I would love to spend all day in bed with you, I have a few more surprises for you," I say.
"Like what?"
"They're surprises. Donny's making breakfast so get changed. I'm taking you out for the day."
She takes the gifts, leaving the Winter Soldier bracelet and necklace for me, and heads to her room. I grab a quick shower and get ready for the day.
Lily's POV
This past week has been amazing. Being reunited with Noah has been a blessing. He's the best thing to ever happen to me. This morning really showed me that. I turned 26 two weeks ago and the fact that he wants to take me out for my birthday two weeks later shows how much he loves me. I did my hair and makeup before getting dressed.

I put on my new jewelry and grabbed my Captain America backpack. I put some stuff inside and went to the kitchen.
"Hey, happy belated birthday," Donny says as I walk in.
"Thanks."
"There's a bag on the table for you."
"Donny, you didn't have to buy me anything."
"You're the girlfriend of one of my best friends. I wanted to."
I laugh and open the bag, revealing the Spider-Man sweatshirt I've been wanting.

"Are you serious," I ask him.
"Yeah. Noah told me you wanted it and I bought it for you."
"I see you like Donny's gift," Noah says, walking in.
"I love it."
"Hurry up and eat. I have a lot planned for today," Noah kisses my cheek.
