Jonah Marais' P.O.V.

I felt a weight on top of me, "Wakey wakey." And then a poke on my cheek. I kept my eyes closed but it still continued. I groaned a little before opening my eyes.

"Hey, baby." I said, wrapping my arms around Leia's waist.

"Good morning." She replied. I smiled, pecking her nose. She giggled, "Happy Birthday. I got you something."

"Baby, you don't have to do that." I said.

"Yes, I do. And what I'm about to give you is only part one of your present."

"Oh, wow." I said, chuckling, "How many parts is there?"

"Three."

"Aww, baby. Thanks." She smiled, "I'm gonna take a shower. You coming?"

"Sure, but, do you want your first present now or after the shower?"

"Depends on what it's gonna be."

"It's a clothing item of some sort."

"Well, I'm gonna take a bath first. I stink." I said, laughing at the end. She chuckled, "Okay."

I finished putting on my shirt before getting out of the bathroom. I used the towel to dry my hair, rubbing my scalp. I looked at my bed, seeing Leia on her phone. She looked at me, "So, part one?"

She got up and I followed her. She handed me a gift box. I looked inside, seeing a matching couple's baseball jerseys.

"Woah!" I said, examining the items. Leia's jersey has her last name, Livingston, and mine has my last name, Marais. I looked at the numbers. Hers has 10 and mine has 31. I raised a brow til I realized that that's the day where we started dating. I smiled at her, "This is amazing. Thank you."

She hugged me and I immediately hugged back. I pulled away and take my shirt off, "I'm gonna wear this."

I put the Jersey on, "How do I look?"

"Handsome as always." I smiled, grabbing her hand. I kissed her forehead, "So... part two?"

She pulled away, wearing her jersey too. She went to her dresser, opening the lowest drawer. It's her underwear drawer. Clever. She knew I wouldn't go there. She pulled out another present and handed it to me. I opened it to see two tickets of my favorite sport, baseball. And it just so happens that today, my favorite team is playing! And she got us seats in the private skyboxes. I looked at her in awe before pulling her in for a hug, spinning us around, "You're so amazing. I love you so much."

She just laughed as I put her down.

Cheers erupted all around as we got a home run. We watched and cheered as we gain another point.

"We're gonna win!" I yelled over the defeaning noise from the crowd. She giggled, "You're such a fanboy."

"And, you," I poked her nose, "are the most amazing girl in my life, my princess."

She blushed, which only made me smile. She smiled back her beautiful smile.

The game ended and my team won. I was over the clouds when they made a home run. I looked over at her, seeing her on her phone, smiling. I smiled at her, "What are you doing?"

"Nothing."

"Come on. Lemme see."

With a raise of an eyebrow, she responds, "And if I don't let you?"
