Breathless

Chapter 26: Hurry up Casa Nova

It had been over a year since Adam and I got together. We were finally that dream couple that you see on TV. The man he was when we first met was nothing compared to the human he was now. I adored him and he adored me. With graduation coming up, our relationship never faltered. I knew where I wanted to be and he supported me for it. I had applied to about 5 different universities and picked one in Canada simply so I get a taste of life outside of this dull area. It might be a stretch to call it dull with that happened to me but it doesn't count.

I never saw Indigo again and I was happy. He was  really wonderful to me but how can I be with someone who wanted to wear a mask the whole time. It was completely improbable. I'm not sure where he went off to but I'm glad he left. It saved me from embarrassment.

Ryan was gone too. He had simply left. I wasn't sure what was happening to my life, maybe I dreamt up indigo and Ryan. Well, not Ryan because Adam still gets annoyed when someone mentions him. Ryan is a giant taboo in our relationship. Whenever his name came up, Adam would tense up and reminded me that Ryan was a part of his history that he didn't wish to remember. It didn't matter how hard I pushed him into telling me the truth, he never gave in. The only piece of information I ever got was from Seth, when he told me about Mary Ann Katherine. He wouldn't tell me anymore than the fact that she completely destroyed Adam and Ryan was somehow involved in all of that.

Things seemed to finally get normal. Aiden was warming up to Adam. They played football together a lot and I'm assuming they will hang out more when Aiden came back from university in the summer. With that, this stories brings me right to the present.

I woke up one June morning to see my parents standing over me with a cake in their hands.

"Happy Birthday!" they yelled in unison. I groaned and stuffed my pillow over the head. They did this every year and have been doing so since I was a child. I can guarantee that when I go downstairs, there will be some sort of decoration/ party set up. "C'mon now! Be excited. You're finally 18!"

I groaned again but got up this time. My dad reached over and kissed me on the forehead. I gave him a hug and quickly cut the cake and fed them both a little bit of it as per family tradition.

"Now if you'll excuse me. I have to get ready. It is a school day after all." I said with a snarky tone. My parents rolled their eyes but left my room anyways. I ran over to my phone and saw I had I text. Knowing exactly who it was, I opened it up to reveal a giant wall of text. It was from Adam. He had written 100 reasoned why he loved me with a cute 'Happy Birthday' message at the end. My heart melted and I squealed in delight. I texted him to come over as soon as possible and I got an instant reply that he was already down stairs. Then 30 seconds later, I got another text which read "Um, nice balloons but was the clown necessary this early in the morning?" I groaned again. My parents are overdoing it this year since I was finally 18, but C'mon. I'm 18. Not 6. I don't a clown at 7 am.

I jumped in the shower and then quickly put on a cute outfit before heading down stairs. As expected, there were streamers and balloons everywhere. Not to mention the clown whose name tag read 'Bobo the clown.' Much to their protest, I gave my parents quick hugs and told them I had to leave or I'd be late. I grabbed Adam's hand and ran out of there as fast as I could.

As soon as I was out, I sighed in relief. Adam wrapped an Arm around me and chuckled.

"I was not expecting any of that." He said as he opened the door for me to get in. I gave him a look before sliding in.

"It's not my fault." I said with a pout. Adam growled and quickly leaned down and gave me a kiss. I knew what pouting did to him and I was using it to my advantage. He kissed me a little harder, really getting into it and I quickly pulled away.

"Hurry up Casa Nova or we'll be late." I said with a giggle. He groaned but turned on his car and we sped off. This was going to be a beautiful summer.
