Leaving a Life Behind. || Mark Thomas

Birthday surprise

Olivia POV

I woke up to Mark on his phone, scrolling through Twitter, responding to fans.

He was tweeting stuff like, "Good morning beautiful" and all that. The usual. He must've posted a picture of me sleeping or something because my Twitter was blowing up.

I sighed and picked up my phone, seeing that my assumption was correct.

"Amazing night last night with my babeee❤️ @oliviaaainsleyy"

I laughed and checked the comments. All I saw were comments like, "You two are too cute," and, "Aww! I'm high key Malivia.''

"Good morning, baby girl," I heard Mark whisper.

"Morning, babe," I said as I leaned into a kiss.

"How'd you sleep?" Mark asked as soon as I opened my eyes.

"Amazing, I had you by my side," I smiled.

"Daw," Mark sighed. "Aaaanyways, let's do something today."

"Okay, what do you want to do?" I asked

"No, it's your choice, it's your birthday."

My eyes widened.

"It is?" I asked.

"Yes. You're 14 now!"

"Oh," I laughed. "Can we go to the mall?"

"Which one?" Mark asked.

"Hmm.. I don't care, the one with the huge Starbucks," I suggested.

"St. Thomas Galleria it is," Mark smiled.

He pulled out his phone and started texting his friend Daniel. They were like, really close. I couldn't read out what he was typing, but u didn't really care. I wasn't that type of girlfriend.

"Sooo you go get dressed and I'll text Cameron to come pick us up," Mark said.

I got up and went to my bag, pulling out my white laced crop-top, a long grey cardigan, some ripped up jeans, my American flag converse, makeup, and my necklace that my dad got me before he passed away. I walked to the bathroom, pulling off my black tank top and started getting dressed.

"You and your makeup," Mark said.

"Shut up!"

I finished putting everything on and asked Mark for my makeup bag.

Lotion, foundation, concealer, mascara, eyeliner, eyeshadow and base.

"Okay, I'm ready," I smiled.

"Cameron's almost here," Mark said. "Let's go."

We grabbed our phones and went downstairs. As soon as we got outside, Cameron pulled up in his Ford.

"Front seat?" I asked Mark.

"Yeah," Mark answered and climbed in front.

"Happy birthday!" Cam screamed as soon as I got in his truck.

"Thanks," I laughed.

About 5 minutes later, we pulled up to the mall and all got out. Cameron said we had about 30 minutes before we had to be at the main stage. I knew something was up as soon as he said that.

"Let's go to Forever 21," Mark suggested.

"Oh my gosh yes," I squealed.

We started walking around and saw that it was directly across from us. We ran in and Mark followed me.

"Instagram?" He asked.

"Yaaaasss," I said.

We took a picture and he posted it with the caption, "Perfect (birth)day to go to  the mall with my baby. @oliviaa.kitten"

I stole his SnapBack and he playfully slapped me.

45 minutes of looking at clothes passed, so we went to the main stage near the food court. Everyone gathered around as soon as they saw Cameron and Daniel walk on stage. Teenage girls started freaking out and running up to the stage. They didn't seem to mind it at all, I guess they were used to it.

"Thank y'all, we love you guys. How about a happy birthday to our great friend, Olivia?"

Everyone started screaming. I noticed Mark was gone.

"So, um, this is a new song we were working on with our friend, Mark."

As soon as they said that, Mark walked on stage and music started playing.

"Baby, all I want is you. In the middle of the night, I've been thinking bout you like, baby all I want is you."

I started tearing up when Mark pointed at me. Knowing he cared so much to write a song for me was amazing.
