At bottom and aloft

Chapter Twenty-three

    Time was running out very fast. And then there was November 25th. Two days before Aaron's birthday. I wanted to thank him this way. That he was there for me. I had a romantic plan and Olivia was helping me.
,,Which one? Super sexy or Cute girly?"
,,Well, it's Aaron. And Aaron is Aaron no matter there's some Becca. So do you want to warp him or do you want to be cute?"
,,Warp him? Olivia! I'm not Matt!" Her smile faded and turned into incredibly sad.
,,Hey, what happened?"
,,Nothing, I'm fine." And then she started crying. Oh no, what could've happen?
,,Hey, you can talk to me too. I'm here for you as much you're here for me. So tell me. What happened?"
,,It was at my birthday party..." she sniffed and then continued ,,We were kissing and then some girl pushed him away from me and slapped him with following words 'You asshole, how could you do that to me? Cheating on me?' and then he apologized and went after her. He didn't care about me. I went into my room and cried. He came and said 'It's not what it looks like.' But it was exactly like it looked like." And then she cried the most in her life. When I heard her.
,,Maybe it's not like that, maybe she just got wrong guy."
,,I don't think so."
,,But Ol, it's Matt. He would never do that."
,,It doesn't matter now. It's over." And now they do not have each other. Matt is gonna stay away from us because of Olivia. But I was more worried about Olivia than that.
,,Okay, sorry. We have to finish this."
,,So I guess those Sexy dresses will do their magic."
,,Go ahead, catwoman! Try them on!" I put on those bright red dress and showed myself to Olivia.
,,Well girl, I'm pretty sure he won't hold up to main meal."
,,Oh God!" We laughed. That's right he won't.
,,Well, dress done, shoes done, hair...I'll do something with them, dishes done, place done, music done... It's everything!"
,,What about decorations?"
,,Oh yeah! That's my part. You just need to act like you're not up to anything. It would ruin the surprise. Don't let me down."
,,Two days left."
,,You'll be surprise how fast time will fly by."

    And she was right. I was waiting in the cafeteria for Aaron to show up. When he finally did I couldn't hide my smile.
,,What are you smiling at?" I stood up.
,,Happy birthday, birthday-boy!"
,,Oh my God. You didn't forget about it!"
,,Of course I haven't, you fool."
,,No present?"
,,I left it at Olivia's house."
,,Olivia's?"
,,Yeah, I came over and asked for her opinion and left it in there."
,,Oh okay." Fish is caught.
,,Hi, lovebirds!" Olivia.
,,Hey."
,,So what are you up today? Are you about to rob a bank for Aaron's birthday? Happy birthday, by the way."
,,Thanks."
,,I left Aaron's present on your place tomorrow." I told her to boast for my brilliant idea.
,,Of course you did. I found it."
,,Why haven't you brought that?" Aaron asked. Oh. God.
,,Yeah, too late. I forgot about it." Olivia said.

    I walked with Aaron way home. I supposed to be with him before I get a text from Olivia that everything's ready.
,,Come in."
,,Nothing has changed."
,,No, it hasn't."
We went upstairs. We were talking and sitting and he was still asking why are we just sitting there for two hours. In 17:23 I got text from Olivia. Finally.
Everything's ready! Do not make it suspicious! O.
,,We should go?"
,,Where?" He said, bored.
,,Pick up your present!" His eyes revived. I grabbed my bag with dresses and those stuff and then we went to Olivia's.

    We rang a bell. Olivia opened us and told us that she has to go. When Aaron was sitting at the sofa and we were in hall way Olivia wished me luck and gave me the rest of the instructions. She left.
,,Can you go down the stairs? Down there? I'll be right back."
,,Okay." I went up and changed into Sexy dress. I put my hair down and used my bright red lipstick. I grabbed a little box with a gift from Olivia's desk and went down. I found him looking around the room.
,,Do you like it?"
,,Like it? I love it!"
,,I'm glad to hear that." And then he turned. And his eyes were staring at me.
,,You look awesome!"
,,I do right?"
,,Totally." I smiled.
,,It's time for dinner." And then a boy, that Olivia rented us for waiter, brought first meal. We sat and started to eat. We were talking and eating. We were about to have dessert.
,,I've got something for you."
,,Isn't this enough?"
,,Nope." I smiled. We both got up and I gave him a little box. He opened it.
,,Oh my God! You bought me tickets for football match?"
,,They're for you and Matt. You need some boy and boy time together."
,,You're the best!" He hugged me tightly.
,,Happy birthday."
,,Thanks." And then he kissed me and we kissed and kissed. We weren't drunk. We were doing this because we wanted to. First my dress ended up on the floor. Then Aaron's shirt. And then every single piece of our clothing was laying down on the way into the bedroom. It was the same bedroom we ended up the night at the party. I recognized the bed and television. Aaron lifted me up and pushed against the wall, just like the other night. He was kissing my neck and then went down to my chest. He undo my bra and this time even she ended up on the floor. He carried me and put me on the bed. Gently. He kissed my neck, chest, every single part of my body. It was ours night. Ours and no one else's. Becca and Aaron. Aaron and Becca. These two had the night of their life. These two completed the next first time on their List. It was night full of love and passion. Unforgettable night. PERFECT.
