If I Could Run

Chapter 20

I woke up to Mike's freezing bedroom. Every room had there own little temperature panel so you could control the heat or AC. I was under the covers in his bed and only wearing a tank top and shorts. I got out of the bed quietly not waking him up. I didn't want to walk back to my room because I still wanted to cuddle. I found a jacket of his. It was white and grey striped. I picked it up and put it on. It was fuzzy on the inside! Yay! I crawled back into the bed and sat there in his arms again just playing on my phone. I was texting Amelia and Becky on a groupchat. Becky would be coming to the party. And Amelia and Becky were asking me a bunch of questions about Mike.
"Have you kissed?" Becky asks.
"Ya they kiss all the time." Amelia answers for me.
"Is he caring?" Becky asks.
"God yes, he cares for me so much." I answer.
"I love him so much." I type. I hear Mike shuffle in his bed and his eyes open. "Guys gtg he woke up." I type quickly. They say bye and then I turn to him. He's smiling at me.
"Happy birthday Katie!" He says kissing my forehead. "Your in my jacket." He says. I nod. "You look...hot."
"Contain your self!" I joke. He pulls me closer and kisses me. Kissing turned to making out..
A knock on the door then comes.
"Breakfast is ready Mike, have you seen Katie?" Asks his mother,
"I'm in here!" I yell to her.
"Oh ok. Happy birthday and come eat." She continues. We hear her footsteps walk away.
Breakfast can wait a minute. We continue.
After a minute of making out we went downstairs. Holding hands as we went.
Once we all were seated we dug in.
"Happy birthday!" They all would say to me.
They made frenchtoast with wipped cream and raspberries. I had a Starbucks vanilla coffee that the butler picked up for us this morning. It was warm and soo good. After breakfast I went up to my room and took a warm shower. I didn't put on my dress yet since the party wasn't until later tonight. So I just put on some regular skinny jeans and a teal tube top. I brushed out my hair and let it stay down. I was gonna curl it later tonight. I was told not to leave my room during the day because they wanted the decorations to be a surprise. I was turning 17. I was born on the 17th of May so it was my golden birthday. I sat on the tan bed with white sheets. I never really looked around my room. The desk was a light brown, the sofa was a white one. And the curtains were white and a little see through. The carpet was a light tan which you could squish your toes in it like when your at the beach. I watched TV until 12 when Mike came into my room carrying a tray of food.
"Here's some lunch." He says sitting next to me on the sofa. I pause the show. It was another episode of Chopped. I loved the food network channel because I loved to cook.
"Thanks" I said picking up the grilled cheese and lemonade. I devoured my food. I loved grilled cheese. It never stayed on my plate for more than 2 minutes. The crunchy bread and the gooey warm cheese was just so tasty.
After we ate we watched TV together until he was called to help more with the decorations.
I stopped watching TV I felt lazy. I stood up and walked to the bathroom. I knelt down next to the tub and played with my water powers. I made the words happy birthday and then froze it. So far I could freeze it, what else? I made me hands into a fist and steam came off of it. The ice went back to water and I put my hands down and watched it splash. So I could heat it too?! Cool. What else? I got bored so I told the Butler in the speaker to bring me some chips and water. He brought them up. A crystal clear glass of water and a bowl of Doritos.
"Thank you!" I say taking them and sitting down. He left and I just watched random things on TV. I reached to grab my glass of water. My fingers were spread out and were kinda moving to get it. I picked it up and realized the water wasn't moving. I shook the glass and still nothing moved. I flipped the glass upside down and slowly the water dropped out in a mush.
"Ew!" I said out loud. "How did that even happen?" The water was now gel like. I stared at it and after another minute it went back to normal. The floor was now wet. I used my hand and heated up the spill until there was no spill.
I ran into the bathroom and made a small heart out of water. Then I made it gel and froze it. I touched it. It wasn't cold anymore it was like pure glass.
"Awesome!" I say picking up the glass heart. I brought it into my room and placed it on my dresser. I would go find a stand for it another day. Suddenly my eyes lit up. I had an idea. I texted Mike telling him to come up to my room. Once he was in I said,
"Mike go get a Teal and Dark Blue color of dye."
"Why?"
"Just please do it."
He left and returned with dye he got from the kitchen.
"Uhhh here you go." He says giving me a strange look. I smile and shoo him away. I was gonna make a heart with our favorite colors in it as a surprise. I was bored also so it seemed fun. I made the gel heart and with one hand dropped droplets of dye into it. On one side was teal and the other was the dark blue. Then I froze it. It was so pretty! I heard footsteps coming so I quickly hid the heart in my closet under some clothes. I checked the clock real quick and saw that it was 4:45 the party starts at 6:15. Amelia enters holding her dress and shoes.
"Heyy!" She says excitedly closing the door, "let's get our dresses and hair done!"
"Ok!" I laugh quickly running to the closet and pulling out my dress. We put on our dresses and then she gets out the makeup. We put on mascara and eye liner. I put a little cat tail to the corner of my eye. I curled my hair and by the time we were all done it was 5:57. She left the room and went down stairs and I put on my shoes. I smiled and opened the door to the party.
