I wake up to an cold and empty bed. As my mind recollects what happened yesterday I realise something. If I'm right today's my birthday. Id been so caught up with the events of previous days that it had completely slipped. I turn over and grab my phone to see tones of messages from friends and family. Most of them saying have a great day but there's one that sticks out. I open it to see Mat has written a paragraph.
Good morning Al, your probably wondering where am I. Well I'm at the top of the Empire State Building so if you want a birthday surprise or just your boyfriend back you better come. Lots of love ~ Mat X
Oh great. I think.As I open the doors to the huge room that is at the top of the building I can see the most beautiful set up ever. There are warm coloured fairy lights scattered over the floor and ceiling and candles and a music player in the corner. I'm so surprised Mat has gone to so much effort for me.
"Mat this is....this is beautiful!" I choke out. I see him walk around the corner in the most dashing suit and tie. His hair is messy but cute and once again the suit brings out the blue in his eyes like the Tenerife sea. He gives me a smile and walks over to the music player. He puts on a track that has always been my favourite. Thinking out loud by Ed Sheeren. He walks back to me and moves his hands to my waist and I place my hands on his shoulders. We starts dancing around the room. We keep eye contact as all this happens and I can smell the warm and mysterious cocktail that he is wearing. The song starts playing and sings its first lyrics.
When your legs don't work like they used to before, and I can't sweep you off of your feet.
"Al, ever since I first met you I've loved you. I never thought I would fall for you but I have, and hard. You so so beautiful and gorgeous it makes me feel like a bonfire every time I see you. Everything you've done for me is more than I could ever have wished for. Your smile and eyes light up my entire life. I know that if no one else will love me you will. So I hope you can stay mine forever. I'm crazy in love with you Miss Alice Jones." Mat then leans down and wraps his arms further around my waist and pulls me in for a kiss. His lips mould a perfectly into mine. His lips are softer than marshmallows and redder than cherries. He sweeps his tongue along my bottom lip and our tongues make interact patterns. He pulls away and smiles with his dimples.
"I've been wanting to do that for so long."
"So have I." I say. Our foreheads touch and he runs his smooth warm finger along my cheek bone.
The chorus starts of the song.
So honey now, take me into your loving arms."
"How have I managed to fall in love with such an amazing girl?" He says. We start dancing again. He spins me around the room never taking my eyes of his. All this time we stay crazy in love the world moves on. Maybe just maybe our love will be forever lasting. Maybe I'm crazy in love. After the song finishes he brings me into another magical kiss that sends fireworks and shivers around my small body.
"Happy birthday Al." He says. The sun sets over the city as we dance and sing long into the night with the candles flickering and dancing in sink like we are. Forever together, in harmony and crazy, crazy love. After the final song plays its final note Mat picks me up and walks to the far end of the room where it looks out onto the sleeping city. I rest my head on his shoulder and he holds me tight as we look out into all the lights and cars speeding past.
"This is beautiful Al." He says looking at me.
"Like you." I say leaning up and kissing him. He smiles at me with his eyes again and turns back to the scene. Then comes a question I didn't expect.
"Do you want to have kids?" Mat says keeping his eyes on the view.
"Urm yeah you?" I say. I'm not entirely sure why Mat asked what he did but it's always been something to me to have kids and be an amazing mum.
"Yeah when the times right...I want to have kids and tell them to follow their dreams no matter how big or small they may be." We walk back to where we originally were and just stand in each other's company for the rest of the night until the sun comes up over the horizon. I'm so tired my eyelids become heavy and I let them drop. I feel Mat place a kiss on my lips and move a piece of hair out of my face. I sense him leave the building as the cold noting air hits me. Then a few moments later I feel cold, soft bed sheets. I feel Mat tuck me in and walk away then I phase out. This has by far been the best birthday present I have ever received. But no matter how hard I try to sleep the same question remains in my head. Is Mat suggesting that we kids?A/N: Sorry this chapter is quite rubbish I was writing it while listening to music. <3
