I was suddenly woken up by a noise in my room. I opened my eyes and stayed still, still half asleep and trying to comprehend what's around me, when I see that the intruder is Alex.

"Alex? What are you doing here at almost midnight?" I asked.

"Well in about five minutes, it will be your birthday and I want to make sure I'm the first one to wish you happy birthday." She smiled and laid next to me on my bed, cuddling me.

"You know you could've just wished me a happy birthday tomorrow morning right?"

"But what's the fun in that?" She giggled. Ugh her giggle is the most angelic thing I've ever heard.

"I love you." I smiled.

"I love you too, Toby. Happy birthday." She smiled and cuddled up to me even more. I glanced at the clock and saw it read 12:00am which just changed to 12:01am.

"Thanks Lex." I said and kissed the top of her head.

--------------------------------------------

I shot up from my bed at the smell of pancakes, but not just any pancakes, oh no, these were no ordinary pancakes, these were the most holy kind of pancakes. Blueberry pancakes.

Before I could rush downstairs, the door flew open and Alex came in with a tray in her hands.

"Good morning, birthday girl." She said and greeted me with a light kiss on the lips. "I made breakfast in bed for you." She smiled.

"Aww babe, you shouldn't have." I stared at her in adoration.

"I know but I wanted to."

"Well, first of all, thank you." I kissed her. "And second, I don't think I'll have time to eat this. Also that's what she said," I laughed. "But anyway we have to be in school in like 30 minutes."

"We are skipping school today." She said calmly.

"Wait, really? Are you sure?"

"Yeah, it's a Friday so it's not that bad, and it's your birthday! We can't spend half of our day in school."

"Ok. So, what do you have planned for us today?" I asked as she handed me the tray.

"Well, I came up with a few things and I thought I would let you decide. It's either, spending our day in and building a pillow fort and watch Netflix, or we can go out on a romantic date, I already made reservations at your favorite restaurant, just in case, or we could do something else."

"Wow you really thought this through, huh?" I chuckled. "What do you want to do?"

"I can't choose babe, it's your birthday, not mine. You choose."

"Well, I want to do whatever you want to do. And since I'm the birthday girl, you have to do everything I say." I grinned smugly.

"Ok. How about," she laid beside me on the bed and propped her head on her hand. "We go to dinner, and then come back here and then build the fort?"

"Sounds good." I said as I ate another mouthful of pancakes.

--------------------------------------------

Alex and I already ate dinner and built the fort, now we're just watching movies and cuddling.

"I really enjoyed today babe. Thank you." I smiled and kissed Alex.

"You're welcome Toby. I love you."

"I love you too." I smiled and kissed her. "Let's go to sleep. Goodnight."

"Goodnight."

Song for this chapter: The Chainsmokers - Inside Out

A/N: Hey guys! This note is a little long, sorry. Also, sorry for not updating, last days of school but when I'm out I'll write a lot! I could say I forgot to write a chapter but that would be a lie. I'm just a huge procrastinator. Sorry. Also I was so sad to hear about what happened in Orlando. So unfortunate that people hate so much. #PrayForOrlando even though I don't believe in God and prayers and stuff but still. As a reward for waiting, I'm gonna update another chapter! longer don't worry lol. I'll update in a few hours. Have a good day!
Vote, comment, follow and whatever.



Peace! ✌️
