"Wake up, wake up, wake up.." I heard someone say, shaking me awake. I buried my head into my pillow and the shaking continued.
"Wake up wake up!" I heard again. I pulled my head out the duvet and I opened my eyes. Balloons. There were pink and white balloons covering the top of the room. Lots of them. I looked at the white duvets, covered in red roses, literally, they were covering me and some scattered on the floor. Oh and vanilla scented candles.
"Happy birthday my darling angel Chelsey!" Rob said, holding a huge box wrapped in pink paper. He handed the box to me and I looked at him.
"Go ahead, open it" he said, taking a seat next to me on the bed.
I did what he said. The first thing at the top of the box was the photo of us taking outside the ship, framed in solid gold with a note attached to it. The second thing was a book titled '365 reasons why I love you'. The third was a Rolex Watch and at the back the words 'Love you my cinnamon apple' were engraved on it. I smiled at him and I gave him a hug.
"Check your Facebook.." he said, and I nodded and did it.
A photo of me in a blue and purple dress.
"Chelsey Chanel Dudley, happy birthday my darling angel ❤️ these past few years working with you have been the best by far and I wouldn't change a thing. I know I get you into shit sometimes, like when I broke your nose, but you've forgiven me and that's all that matters to me. 26 years old.. wow! The fantasy factory baby is growing up 😭 Thank you for being my sunshine, always laughing with your infectious laugh that brightens up the room, and thank you for being you my Popsicle ❤️ can't wait to spend the rest of this vacation with you and the guys.. love you to the ends of the earth, Dudley!"
I cried as I read the message he left me on his Facebook.
"Happy birthday my baba!" He said, hugging me tight, and revealing that there was more.
He handed me the card and I opened it.
"I don't care if you understand the meaning but I won't stop loving till you can touch the ceiling - so basically I will love you forever because you're my short stack! Love you my trap queen, happy birthday baby!"
I laughed at the card because he remixed my song lyric and turned it into something so cute.
"Thank you my baby!" I said, hugging him again, then he handed me the book.
"This book, is basically 365 reasons why I love you, and you'll read one reason everyday for 365 days.. but promise you'll only read one.." He said and I nodded.
"I promise.." I said, and I read the first one.
"Reason 1 of 365 : Your laugh makes me fall in love with you over and over again"
I smiled and I closed the book.
"Meet us at the buffet in 30 minutes" Rob said and he left the room.
I quickly jumped into the shower and when I got out I changed into River Island shorts and a DC muscle tank that Rob got for me.
I walked down to the buffet and found Big Cat, Big Black, Drama and Steelo sitting at a table with balloons and gifts.
"Morning guys.." I said, sitting at the table.
"Happy birthday" they all said in unison.
"Thanks guys.." I said, giggling.
"Where's Rob?" I asked, and they shrugged.
Soon after I asked, someone placed their hands over my eyes.
"Rob?" I asked, but it wasn't him.
"It's me!" Said a familiar voice. I turned my neck.
It was Vera!
"Oh my god! Hey!" I said, standing up to give her a hug.
"Happy birthday!" She said hugging me tightly.
"Thank you so much!" I said, and I sat back in my seat and she sat next to me.
My phone buzzed and I checked it, it was a text from Rob.
"Look towards the window of the buffet.."
I turned my head and I saw him standing there, wearing a suit and holding a bouquet of flowers and a bunch of balloons. I covered my mouth with my hands when Can I have this dance from high school musical started playing from the speakers. He walked closer to me and he held my hand and sat down on the other side of me. I started tearing up when he handed me a medium sized box. Vera and the boys were snapping pictures of this extremely romantic moment and I didn't mind. I opened the box and I saw a velvet cushion with another framed letter. I picked it up and Rob smiled at me.
I handed him the frame and the music dimmed and he started reading it, and Vera was recording it.
"Chelsey Chanel Dudley.. happy birthday my darling. I know you're probably sick of me wishing you a happy birthday but I'd do anything for you my baby.. Yes, my baby, you're my baby. I know that we already are dating but no one knew except the two of us. I wanted to make a formal announcement and I didn't know how to do it so I decided to ask you publicly today my love. Chanel West Coast, will you be my girlfriend?" Rob said, and I stared at him with tears in my eyes.
"Yes Rob, I will be your girlfriend!" I said, laughing through the tears. I stood up from my chair and hugged him, and he lifted me off the ground and spun me around.
I sat back down again and I saw that there was more to the gift. A smaller box with a pink bow on it. I opened it and saw a heart shaped necklace on it. I picked it up from the box and Rob helped me put it on. He turned it around once it was on me and read the engraving out loud for me.
"My heart is perfect because you're in it" he read, and I smiled at him before giving him a kiss.
"Happy birthday angel.." he said, before kissing me one last time before we sat down.
"Aww! I had always shipped you guys ever since I started watching Fantasy Factory." Vera said.
My phone vibrated again and it was another Facebook notification from Rob.
"I know it's your birthday, but I feel like I got the greater gift ever, getting to call you my girl. I love you so much Chanel. Happy Birthday again baby! ❤️"
I smiled and I kissed his cheek.
-
"So, what's the plan for today?" Drama asked, after finishing off his cake.
I looked at Rob, and waited for him to tell us.
"I'm thinking we could go water skiing at around 3 when we dock.." he said, and I nodded because I liked the idea of water skiing.
"So what're we going to do until then?" I asked him, tapping my heel on the floor causing the table to shake.
"I don't know.." He said.
"I'm still tired.. So I'm actually going to take a nap.." I said, and everyone nodded.
-
After breakfast, Rob and I went back to our room and I collapsed on the bed. Rob laid down next to me and looked at me.
"Hey.." I said, and I threw my arm around his neck.
"Hey sexy..." he said back. I shifted around a bit until I was lying on top of Rob.
"Thank you so much.." I said to Rob and I put my head in his chest. He kissed my head.
"Pleasure.." he said. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
