I Wanna Be Free, I Wanna Be Loved

Ch. 24: Things Are Shaping Up To Be Pretty Odd

RYAN'S POV

The party was a success, people were having a great time. I hadn't seen Hannah yet but I knew she was here. I made my way through the house saying hi to random peope from school. I found Rachel and Brendon making out in the downstairs room that used to be Hannah's. Now it was just a desk, TV, small couch, and my best friend getting it on with my sister.

"Ahem" I said, clearing my throat.

"Oh hey, Ry" Rachel said getting up from Brendon's lap. He had a slight but noticable bulge in the crotch of his jeans. Really?

"You guys seen Hannah? It's almost time for her to blow out her candles"

"You wish she was blowing you instead" Rachel joked. She and Brendon laughed together , I stood there unamused with their bullshit.

"Just help me find her" I said.

"This day seems to be all about you, big brother" I was a few minutes older than Rachel so she always called me her older brother.

"No, it's about Hannah, and we can't have birthday cake without the birthday girl, so help me find her"

HANNAH'S POV

Spencer and I found a nice little spot outside where we continued our makeout from earlier. It was fun to be sneaky even though I should have been mingling with my party guests. I didn't know a lot of these people but I did know Spencer and he was the only important one at the moment.

"I really would love to take you out on a real date sometime" he said between kisses.

"I'd like that" I told him.

"Hannah?" I heard Brendon calling my name "Hannah it's cake time!"

"You go first" I told Spencer as he squeezed his way out from behind the tree where we were hiding. He pulled me out and stole another kiss before we walked up to Brendon.

"I was showing him the garden" I told Brendon.

"Come on, cake time" Brendon said. I wasn't sure if he bought my lie or not, didn't care. We went into the house where Rachel covered my eyes so that I wouldn't see the cake. She uncovered my eyes in the kitchen and I saw the seventeen candles lit above a mountain of chocolate frosting. The entire house was singing "Happy Birthday" to me as I smiled. I finally locked eyes with Ryan but quickly looked away to blow out the candles. We cut slices for people, handed them out, then Spencer stole me away again to give me my birthday present. He handed me a small purple box with a silver bow on top. We sat down and I carefully took the bow off and stuck it on his cheek, I giggled and he smiled. I tore off the wrapping paper which revealed a snowglobe with Tinkerbell inside and the words "With A Little Faith, Trust, And Pixie Dust, anything is possible" I loked at Spencer and tried not to cry out of sheer joy.

"Spencer, it's...I love it! Thank you" I hugged him.

"Maybe I can take you to Disneyland next weekend"

"I would love that! I've never been, that would just be amazing, oh my gosh I can't believe I'm finally going to Disneyland. OH MY GOSH!:

"Someone's excited" he laughed.

We went to my room where I proudly displayed the snowglobe next to my bed. I hugged him again, the hug turned into another make out session. He slid his hand up my skirt as we kissed, I gripped the front of his shirt and started to unbutton it. I ran my hands over his chest as he massaged my thighs, I moaned as he moved his lips against mine. We finished up and went back to the party hand-in-hand.
