Chapter 7

Today's quote is:" Every love story is beautiful, but ours is my favourite"

This is not a movie, this is real life. In other words, we don't wake up with our hair flawless and a smile on our face, we wake up with slobber in our chin and confused as fuck.

Try to imagine what I looked like when I heard my door open at 9 in the morning, keep in mind that it is a Saturday, I repeat, A SATURDAY. I just opened my eyes and tried to see who was at my door. I saw a purple head so I guess Chris. He is my best bud so I don't really care how I look in front of him. Completely normal right? Not when I see gorgeous Italian Pablo next to him.

I panic and manage to entangle myself in my sheets, which sends me to the floor. They laugh and I just lay there, cursing the world inside of my head.

"What are you guys doing here? It's too early for this stuff" I grumble.

"Do you know what say it is? I can't believe you forgot your birthday" Says Chris. While all that happened Pablo was making himself comfortable in my computer chair, he was just sitting there staring at us.

"Girl, you are now officially 18, which means you're legal, which means we can go drinking and we can go man hunting" He said excitedly. Pablo looked bored until he said man hunting.

"You guys are not going hunting for anything, she can't go man hunting and she will not go man hunting" He said angrily. I don't know what his deal is but I don't want to deal with this on my birthday.

"Why Pablo, are you jealous?" Chris laughed, oh my god. I'm pretty sure I'm red right now.

"Well, what if I am?" He mumbled, probably hoping we wouldn't hear him, yeah, we did.

"Um yeah, very interesting conversation, but I'm going to shower so wait for me in the living room." I quickly said before rushing out of the room and inside the bathroom. I needed a cold shower, a very cold one.

**********

After my shower, I get dressed and go downstairs. Because it is a Saturday Natasha is supposed to be in a bar or something. I'm very surprised to see her sitting and laughing with the boys.

"Oh hi honey, I was just talking to these lovely boys. They told me their plans for the day so we can just pack your stuff when you come back" She smiles. That's probably the reason why she's so happy. Bitch.

"Um okay" I say in a monotone voice, no smile. She doesn't deserve it. The boys get up and we walk out of the door inside Pablo's car. Yeah, he has a car and it is my favourite thing in the world.

"So.........Where are we going?" I finally ask it. I know they aren't going to answer but I don't know what to expect when I see Christopher's devilish smirk.

He tied a blindfold around my eyes and we were off, the last thing I heard before I fell asleep was his evil laughter.

**********

When I wake up I no longer have the blindfold around my eyes and I only see Pablo in the car.

"Where's Chris? And where are we going?" I ask him. As much as I like being alone with him I'm kind of worried about my best friend.

"He went home, he said he wanted to give us some alone time or something" He said with a pink tint in his cheeks, is he blushing?

"Um okay, but you didn't answer. Where are we going?" I asked.

" It's a surprise, and I think you are going to love it" He said with a smile on his face. Okay you're gorgeous. I said in my mind or at least think I said in my mind, his blush tells me otherwise. I kind of feel proud of myself for making him blush.

It looks like I lost myself in my thoughts because when I look out the window I see that we stopped in front of a modern looking apartment building.

"Don't ask any questions because you know I won't answer them, don't say anything and take this" He said with an expressionless look on his face, I tried to read his face but I got nothing. He handed me a keychain that had one single key and said SpongeBob. He got out of the car in silence so I just followed him.

We went inside the building and we got inside the elevator, he pressed the number 4. Yes, the ride was awkward because of the music but we were lucky because it was very short. I thought he was going to show me his house.

We went into the hall and he stopped in front of a door that said 43. He stepped aside and told me to open the door, I don't know why he couldn't do it himself but I didn't say anything.

I was very surprised when I opened the door and saw and saw the inside of an apartment with the furniture I spend most of my time choosing, even though I had a plan to move, it wasn't for now.

"Wh-What is this?" I asked, more like stuttered without turning around, when I actually turned around I saw the cutest thing ever. I saw Pablo looking at me with a cute smirk and with a single balloon in his hand. The balloon said "Home sweet home".

"Welcome home El" He said. And then we talked, I tried to tell him that I couldn't take the apartment, that it is too much. He didn't take it back, he gave me a tour, and then the perfect ending for the perfect day, I cooked for him and then we watched a movie in the couch curled up in each other arms.

After that I knew, it wasn't just a stupid little crush, my eyes were just closing when I heard him whisper.

"It's not just a silly crush to me either"

And with that I fell asleep with a smile on my face.
