Birthday Present

Dedicated to spunkyowl22, my first fan :)

So, here we go!

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

"Charlie"

"Charlie!"

"Charlie, wake up already!" something was nudging my shoulder, but I decided to ignore it and sleep some more.

"Chars, come on! If you don't wake up, I swear I'll rip all your posters from the wall and burn them down before you can say 'Bloody Nuggets Chris!'" In a flash, I was up from the bed and over my little brother, pinning him down on the floor.

"Don't you dare put a finger on my posters, Christopher King! Or I'll rip your throat." I said, glaring at him and poking his chest with my finger.

"Geez, what's got your knickers in a knot? I was joking", he replied raising his hands in defence.

"You better"

He rolled his eyes. "Anyway, Dad sent me to wake you up so we can give you your birthday present". I looked at him questioningly. Birthday present?... Oh, right! I was turning 18 today. Bloody hell, I'm getting old.

"Alright, I'll be down in five"

"Great. Now, can you move? I'm kind of choking with your hair", he said, pushing me lightly with his hands.

"Oh, sure. Sorry" I stood up, but as soon as I was standing balanced Chris swept me up in his arms, turning in circles and making me feel dizzy.

"Happy Birthday sis" he laughed.

I chukled, "Okay, thanks. Now put me down!" He did one more turn, put me down and kissed my cheek.

"See you in five downstairs. Hurry up!" he yelled while stomping down the stairs to the living room.

I laughed at my brother. He's so childish sometimes, despite being so huge and therfore a little clumsy. No more of a klutz than me though.

I went to the loo, brushed my teeth, washed my face and combed my hair. Daily routine. Back in my bedroom, I grabbed a coral top, some salmon colored pants and a pair of light pink Tom's. I quickly changed and went to meet my father and brother in the kitchen.

"Happy Birthday Charlotte!" my dad greeted me with a bone-crushing-hug.

"Thanks Dad" I returned the hug and smiled at him.

"Chars", Chris said, "I made you some breakfast".  

I eyed the food on the table. "Sure you made this Chris? Doesn't look that healthy", I asked a little worried.

"Well, Dad made you breakfast", he rolled his eyes. "Anyway, eat it before I do and then we can give you your present". Suddenly, the food looked a lot more better, so I made my way to the table and started eating.

Chris sitted beside me, eyeing me with a mocking scowl on his face. "You eat like a pig, hasn't anyone ever told you so?"

My eyes went wide. "I do not!"

"Do too!"

"Do not!

"Do too!"

"Do not!

"Do to-"

"Kids!" my Dad yelled, "It's too early to be yelling!"

I rolled my eyes, "look who's talking".

He rolled his eyes too, "are you finished? I'm not getting any younger in here".

Neither am I, sadly. I cleaned my mouth with the napking. "Yep! I'm ready for this awesome gift you have for me" I said with an unnecessary, and fake, amount of happiness. They know I don't like people giving me things.

"I'm going to ignore that comment because I know you'll love this one" Dad said, poking my nose.

"Ok then, lets see it!" I was getting a little bit annoyed.

"Close your eyes sis!" Chris yelled and I complied. While keeping my eyes closed, I heard a drawer opening and an 'Ouch!'  that meant my brother tripped with the bureau, again.

"Alright, you can open them now!" he yelled excited. I did as he said and saw he was holding an envelope.

"Wow chaps, you didn't have to make such an effort! An envelope, who would have thought you hade it in you? Wonder what it is..." I exclaimed with my eyes open wide.

"Ha ha, really funny Chars", Chris glared at me.

"Just open it, will you?" Dad rushed me.

"Ok. Geez, you guys have no sense of humour at all." I mocked them. I started to tear open the envelope and froze when I saw what seemed to be a slip of paper. A really familiar slip of paper. "Dad? Is this what I think it is?"

"Oh yeah, you bet it is" he smiled, proud of himself.

"No way!"

"Yes way!"

In a matter of mere seconds my eyes opened as wide as baseballs. "No bloody way you got me Meet & Greet for One Direction!"
