The sun slipping through the cracks between the curtains that's keep the room fairly dark woke me up. My eyes fluttering open soon realizing my head is pounding reminding me of the night before. Hearing Max's phone faintly behind me as I turn around slowly trying to not make my headache worse. Facing him as he slowly put his phone down to look at me, bringing his hand up to my face rubbing soothing circles on my cheek "Hey flower I left you some medicine on the nightstand" he softly spoke out I could barley hear him. Nodding my head yes slowly before he brought his lips to the top of my forehead.

He got up and quickly jogged to the nightstand on my side of the bed, grabbing the medicine for me and the glass of water then sitting in the edge of the bed next to me. Sitting up feeling my head throb but holding my hand out as he places the pills in them. Shoving them into my mouth then taking the glass from his hand and gulping some water down. Smiling at him and thanking him as I see him begin talking again "Happy birthday my sweet girl" smiling at the nickname before hiding my face in my hands.

It was my twenty second birthday today but I didn't have anything planned, I really didn't even expect Max to know cause we never talked about it before. All I expected was a call from Celeste honestly and some text from my family, but Celeste was here and we celebrated last night which already was enough.

Feeling his hands grab hold of my wrist pulling my hands away from my face, I know he can see the small blush that covers my cheeks at the moment but it only made him smile. "What do you want to do today flower" he asked me as I began thinking. I really didn't want much just to be with him really was all I wanted.

I sighed out "Nothing much love, maybe just a dinner with just us two" I told him, really not knowing what I wanted.

Watching him smile at me before standing up on his feet off the bed "I can definitely make that work flower, now come on flower let's get some food in you" he told me as he held his hand out for me to grab so we can go into the kitchen together. Having P gone while we are here feels really weird, I really miss her but she will be back tomorrow.

     Grabbing his hand into my own as he leads the way to the kitchen which is down the hall. Our steps in sync as we make it at the end turning the corner seeing even more flowers than the ones he got me yesterday along with some balloons floating around on the ceiling with rose petals covering the floor as a couple presents sit on the counter with a little note card opened slightly so it can stand on its own.

     In complete awe of what Max's has gone out of his way to do but also in complete shock on how he did all this while I was asleep. Watching him stare at my face trying to see if he could see if my reaction was a good one. Turning to him and hoping into his arms burying my face into his neck crying at this point. Tears slipping from my eyes without even really noticing them fall down onto his shirt "oh flower do you not like it I'm sorry" he whispered out to me since he felt the tears stain his shirt.

      Bringing my face away from his neck as he held me up as my legs were wrapped around his torso. Whipping my stray tears on my face "No no Max. I love it I promise. I guess no one has ever really done something this special for me especially after how extravagant last night was" I laughed out to him. Seeing relief take over his face knowing that I do in fact like the surprise.

     "Okay good I got worried there" He laughed out to me. Getting down from his hold to walk over to see everything up close. Seeing the flowers have a note saying Happy birthday sweet girl smiling at the little note card before putting it back. Looking at the balloons now seeing the string hang from them with pictures of me, or Max and I, or some are of P and I. Smiling at how thoughtful this all is before he comes up behind me with a gift in his hand "Open it love" as he handed the bag over to me as I smiled out at him.
