Surprises

My alarm went off.....wait. Why is my alarm going off?

I rolled over and slammed on the alarm clock. The time read 5:00. "What the hell," I thought to myself, "I didn't sent no alarm! It's my birthday for God's sake, let me sleep!" I adjusted my feet but became immediately awake when I heard something hit the ground. I shot up straight and flicked my lamp on. I got out of bed and found a box laying on the ground. I picked it up and adjusted the bow that was smashed under the box weight when it flipped over. The box was a matte white color with a silk pink bow wrapped around it, but it was very uneven, and the bow was still messy even if I tried to fix it. I pulled the bow by the tail and it unraveled itself once the knot was lose. I found the opening and flipped it over. A big note laid on top of some objects. I picked it up and grabbed my glasses from my night stand.

Camila,
I knew that you wouldn't wake up all the way by just one alarm (don't worry, neither would I), so I set your gifts in this box and on your bed to make sure you're up. In this box is an outfit and makeup I think you'd like. Put this on, doll up your beautiful face with the makeup if you'd like, and I'll see you downstairs. Oh and I need you down there in an hour, I don't really have anything fun planed for me to do while you get ready.

-You will never know...,

I stared blankly at it, then began to grin and roll my eyes. "Finn." I whispered, looking at the messy bow. I neatly folded it and set it on the bed. I walked over to my light and turned it on. I went back over to my bed and looked inside the box. On top of some other things were a fresh pair on pink shoes and a cat headband. I smiled and began to pick more out of the box.
***********

I slid my necklace on and adjusted it to my neck. I grabbed my phone and put it in my back pocket and headed to the stairwell. When I looked down, Finn was standing at the bottom with his dimples showing clearly. "Hi?" I cocked my head walking downstairs. "Stunning as always," He whispered, kissing my forehead, "Happy birthday Camileon." Aunt Julie snapped photos in the corner of the living room. "What's going on?" I looked at both of them. "Everything you need is in here." Aunt Julie brought me a large packed suitcase. I looked at Finn confusingly. All he did was simply laugh and kiss my forehead again. "I'll see you Monday." Aunt Julie hugged and kissed me.

"Monday?" I asked her. "Yes, and you'll be celebrating with me then. For now, you'll be with Finn." She winked. Finn opened the door for me and I walked out with my suitcase in hand, waving goodbye to Aunt Julie, and still confused as hell. Finn grabbed my suitcase and put it in the back of his truck next to his. "Where are we going?" I asked him as he shut the trunk. "Don't ask questions, just enjoy." He smiled. I got into the passenger seat and buckled my seatbelt. Finn soon took off with the radio softly humming in the background. "Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your captain speaking." Finn spoke into his hand. "Welcome aboard the Finnster Express. We shall be going over some ground rules before we begin our journey. Please keep your seatbelt on at all times and no sticking objects or any body parts out the window." I crossed my arms and continued to listen.

"Snacks and drinks are located in the glove compartment. If you have to pee, please don't go on my floor. I just cleaned my truck out last night. Just notify your captain and we shall pull over at the nearest rest area. Any questions?" He looked around as if other people were with us. "No sir!" I answered. "Well then kick back, relax, and enjoy your ride." He side smiled to me. We eventually pulled into a McDonald's and Finn did a little dance in his seat. "I love McDonald's breakfast. Can you believe it's all day now?!" He exclaimed, making me burst out laughing. He pulled straight into the drive-thru. "Can I have two sausage, egg, and cheese Mcgriddles and two iced mochas." He said in a sassy tone. I covered my mouth to hide my giggles as he pulled up to the window and payed. "Babe you could've let me pay for mine!" I chuckled. "Bitch please, it's raining money in Finntown." He said in a sassy tone again. We got our things and began to chow down on it. "Here hold this." Finn threw the wrapper at my face and turned on to the highway. "Hey!" I laughed. I set it back in the bag it came in and looked at Finn. He was relaxed and focused on the road.

"Are you going to an open field and abandoning me?" I asked reading the sign that indicated we were leaving Lima. "Yep, gotta take out the trash." He nodded smiling. I pouted and crossed my arms. Finn took his hand off the steering wheel and put it on my chin to stroke it. I fixed my headband and set my feet on the dashboard. "You didn't have to get me anything." I looked at him. "Key word 'have'. Meaning I can get you something in which I did." He shrugged. I grinned at his dorkiness and watched out the window. The music continue to fill the background noise. That is, until the next song came on. "YES I FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG!" Finn yelled, frightening me and making me jump. He cranked the radio up and it was basically shaking my chest. "BE CAREFUL MAKING WISHES IN THE DARK, DARK. CAN'T BE SURE IF THEY'VE HIT THEIR MARK." Finn was basically screaming the lyrics. I cracked up next to him and held my stomach, screaming out lyrics with him also later in the song." LIGHT EM UP UP UP I'M ON FIRE!" We yelled at the top of our lungs, sticking our tongues out and banging our heads.

This is gonna be one hell of a birthday.
