Lately, my boyfriend Carter has been acting distant. I don't know what it is, but he keeps pushing me away. To make matters worse, today is my birthday. And he hasn't event called me. Not once.

Tonight I am going out with the girls for dinner and we are going to see a movie. I started to get ready seeing that it was a little after 4:00 and I needed to be ready by around 6:00ish. I put on my favorite pair of skinny jeans with a long sleeved royal blue shirt that has a deep neckline and cinched at the smallest part of my waist. It is Carter's favorite shirt. I really wish he would call me. Heck I would even settle for a text.

I started to curl my long brown locks. That's how Carter likes my hair. I really need to get my mind off that boy, but he is really starting to hurt me. I keep checking my phone to make sure I have no missed calls or texts but he just hasn't bothered to do either. I hope he didn't forget my 17th birthday. I finished curling my hair and pinned back some hair out of my eyes. Satisfied I moved on to my makeup.

Since Carter likes it when I wear the least amount of makeup, I decided to wear extra. Just because I was starting to get pissed with him. He probably forgot about my birthday and probably doesn't care anymore. In fact, he is probably out with the boys not even thinking about me.

I got lost in my angry thoughts and messed up my eyeshadow so I had to start over. I used silvers and blues to make my hazel eyes stick out. When I started to apply some mascara, my phone rang causing me to jump and smear mascara into my eyebrow. "Dammit," I swore looking into the mirror before laughing at how ridiculous I looked.

"Hello?" I answered. I didn't get a chance to look at the caller ID because I would have missed the call.

"Andrea! Can you be ready by 5:30 instead?" my best friend Jessa said from the other end of the line.

"Oh, umm yeah. I guess I can. What time is it now?"

"It is almost five now. So hurry up because Ann messed up our dinner reservations." was her reply. I sighed and bid her goodbye feeling let down because it wasn't Carter calling.

I finished my makeup quickly and headed to the downstairs area of my small apartment. I stepped outside onto my small balcony and was greeted by the crisp Autumn air. It was going to be one of those cold October nights that I wish I were able to live in forever. Slipping back inside, I grabbed my new coat that my mom had shipped me for my birthday and buttoned it up. I looked around for my scarf and looped it around my neck. I found a pair of black heeled boots from the hallway closet and grabbed my phone before heading down to the lobby.

I sat and waited down there for the girls since we were running a little late. It was almost 5:30 and I don't even know where they were taking me for dinner so It must be close by.

I had lost the little hope of Carter calling or texting me or anything like that. The look of Hirt must have been evident on my face when Jessa walked in and gave me the 'what-the-heck-is-wrong-with-you?' look.

"You look hot! But you are frowning?" Ann said.

"I-I, guys I really don't want to go out or anything. I'm just not feeling up to it." I said. After getting some 'are-you-stupid?' looks, I elaborated further.

"Carter hasn't called me or texted me all day. Lately he has been really distant and I feel like he is hiding things from me. He hasn't been around a lot lately. It's like he always has something better to do. It's my birthday and he probably forgot. What f he is cheating?" I said the last part with tears welling up in my eyes.

"Oh honey! It sucks to hear that, but you are coming with us weather you like it or not. Trust me you will have a blast." Jessa said.

"And, if hasn't called by the end of the night, we can go hunt him down and kill him," Ann added to lighten the mood.

"Okay," I said apprehensively.

We soon pulled up outside of a large building very close to my apartment complex where Ann said we needed to stop in and pick up something. We all got out of Jessa's Jeep and followed Ann to a back entrance. It sounded like a club. I could faintly hear the beat to an unknown song. By this time it was already six o'clock.

"Umm, guys what about our reservations?" I questioned.

"I took care of it already, don't worry about it." Ann said.

Jessa opened up the door and my eyes couldn't believe the sight before me. There were so many people. It was like everyone and their mom came. I couldn't believe it. A huge banner read 'Happy Birthday Andrea' was hung in the center of the huge room. All my friends and the Magcon boys came. And even their friends came. But the only person who mattered to me stood right in front of me with a giant smile on his face.

"Happy birthday Andrea," Jessa, Ann, and Carter all said at once.

"You guys!" you said with tears of joy in you eyes for a change.

"It was all Carter's idea. You should thank him." Jessa explained.

"We'll Lear you two alone," Ann said before grabbing Jessa by the wrist and pulling towards the food tables.

"I don't know what to say. I mean thank you, but I am speechless."

"Then don't say anything. Let's just have some fun. I know you are mad at me because lately I have been being a jerk, but I didn't want to ruin the surprise. All the times I have cancelled or anything like that is because I was working in this. I hope you like it Andrea. I love you, so don't be mad. Let's enjoy the night." Carter explained himself.

"Gosh, could my boyfriend be any more perfect?" I said jokingly. "And I love you too babe."

"I have a special present for you," Carter said.

My eyes lit up at the sound of a gift. "Really? What is it, what is it!?"

"If you want it, you will have to kiss me first, I haven't been able to do that in a while," Carter smirked.

I sighed. I knew there would be a catch, but I obliged and got on to my tip toes to give Carter a kiss. And boy was it good. I had missed him so much that I couldn't help but to put passion into it. Carter deepened the kiss by licking my bottom lip asking for entrance. Of coarse I let him in, I hadn't kissed him in so long. His tongue explored my mouth as I let him have dominance. Gently biting his lower lip, I pulled away smiling in satisfaction as I felt Carter's 'excitement' against me. I had managed to get him frustrated.

"We'll have to finish this later babe, because you owe me a present." I told him.

"O-okay, yeah, damn. Can we just do that again?" Carter asked.

"I want my present Carter, " I gave him the puppy dog eyes and pouted my lips.

"Sure," he said digging into his pocket. He pulled out a key and looked at me.

"Andrea, I have been wanting to ask you this for a while. I have thought about this a lot and I was wondering if you would move in with me?" he looked at me with hopeful eyes. Wow, I couldn't think of anyone else I would want to live with.

"Of course Carter. Living with you would be amazing! Wow," my mind started to think about all the things we could do. We will have an apartment all to ourselves. I would get to wake up in his arms every morning, we could stay up all night watching netflix, Moving in with Carter is going to be the best.

"Did I mention how amazing you look tonight? My girlfriend is hot!" he said, as he wrapped his arm around me and pulled me out of my thoughts and back into the party. I just giggled and Carter leaned down and have me a soft sweet kiss.
