Crazy Little Thing Called Love

Twenty Six

Pete shook me awake.

"Babydoll" he said.  I groaned a little "Patrick" he shook me more.

"What?" I whined.

"Happy birthday sweet boy" he said.  I smiled widely.  "You're nineteen" 

"I am?" I asked sleepily.

"Yeah, you are" he laughed. 

"Does that mean I get presents?" I asked innocently.  He laughed.

"Yes, it means you get presents" I opened my eyes and looked at the clock.  "But, you do still have to go to school"

"But, I know what I want for my birthday" I pouted "I wanna have sex all day"

"Well, that just sucks doesn't it?" he sat up.

"You suck" I said sitting up.  He held a present above my head "Never mind" I grabbed it and tore the wrapping paper off.  "Awh, it's pretty" It was a chain bracelet with a heart pendant in the middle "It's extremely gay, but pretty"

"There's more presents downstairs.  Hidden all over the house all leading to one extremely large present.  But, you have to go to school in order to get them all"

"Oh god you shouldn't have gone all out" I groaned.

"It's your birthday, of course I'm going all out" he got up.  He was already fucking dressed?  Damn, sometimes he was such a teacher.  "There's coffee downstairs, and I made you special birthday pancakes.  They have sprinkles and whipped cream on them.  Now come on" he said smiling.  I sighed and started to get up slowly.  I pulled on decent clothes then ran a comb through my hair.  I trudged myself downstairs.  He handed me pancakes and another small present.  I smiled at him and took them both.  I tore the wrapping paper off the present.

"Oh my god these are expensive as hell!" I yelled at the colored pencils in my hand "Pete-"

"Oh hush, your birthday comes once a year" he smiled.

"Thank you" I jumped up and hugged him tightly "Ugh, I can't wait to draw with these!" I pulled away and smiled at them.  He smiled at me.  I loved this man.

"Happy birthday best friend!" Ashlee yelled. She handed me a card. "Sorry it's not much"

"It's perfect, thanks Ash" I smiled.

"What'd prince charming get you?" she asked.

"A whole boatload of presents I don't deserve" I mumbled. We walked towards Ashley's room. She smiled at us when we walked in.

"Present number three?" she asked holding it up.

"What?" I laughed. She smiled and handed it to me.

"Did you really think he'd make you go through the day without a little fun?" she asked.

"Jesus" I sighed. This was gonna be a weird day.

I stepped into Petes classroom.

"Happy birthday!" the entire class yelled. I hid my face from everyone so they all laughed. I looked over at Pete who was smiling at me.

"I hate you" I said. Everyone laughed again. "Why?" I whined.

"Because you're cute when you blush" He bit the end of his pen. 

"Oh my god" I sighed "All of my teachers have given me presents today"

"Did you really think you'd get off the hook with that?  Of course I was gonna embarrass you throughout the school day" He smirked "Ready for one more present?  It's the big one"

"Jesus" I sighed.

"This is the date for our wedding" he handed me his cell phone.

"This is in two weeks-"

"I convinced everyone to let us get married before you graduate.  The weddings all planned out, and so is the reception" I stared at him.  "Happy birthday" he smiled.  I ran and hugged him as tightly as I could.  Oh my god.  I was getting to marry him early. 

"I love you so much" I said "Oh my god, I get to marry you.  I love you"

"I love you too" he chuckled.  Everyone laughed.
