On the Road- Awsten Knight Waterparks

Chapter Forty Three

Warning! SUPER LONG CHAPTER AHEAD!!!!

Isla's POV:

"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear my beautiful girlfriend! Happy birthday to you!" I smiled, waking up from my sleep. Awsten was sat on the edge of my bed with a cupcake in his hand.

"Happy birthday, princess." His lips pressed against my forehead.

"Thank you." I smiled, sitting up from my sleeping position.

"Here." Awsten put the cupcake down on the bedside table and handed me an envelope. I opened it to see an adorable watercolour card, reading 'Happy Birthday'.

I opened it and inside Awsten's handwriting covered a whole side of the card.

'Isla,

You are my everything. I love you so much. I love the soft kisses that you leave on the tip of my nose. I love when I hear you humming along to your playlist as you wash the dishes. I love seeing you smile in the mirror, telling yourself that it's going to a good day, when you think I'm not looking. I love it when you start to have a conversation with me even though you're falling asleep and won't be able to hold it. I love it when you read to me because you don't want me to feel excluded, when you've got your head in a book. I love so much about you, but what I love most is that there's so much that I'd have to write you a thousand birthday cards to list everything (which I hope I get to do!).
Happy 20th Birthday, Buttercup!

Love Always,
Awsten xxx'

Tears collected in my eyes, I was so lucky to have him.

"Aws." I sniffed. "You're so beautiful and pure! I love you, too." I tightly wrapped my arms around his neck, kissing his face like a madman. "Did you put love always as a reference to the perks of being a wallflower?"

"Yeah, it was the first book that I ever saw you reading and when you were reading it to me, the love always would stand out to me." Awsten said shyly, I smiled even wider.

"You are the perfect boyfriend." I booped his nose.

"Here, open this." He handed me a medium sized box, messily wrapped in cute paper.

"Hold on." I grabbed my Polaroid camera from the draw of my bedside table and snapped a picture of it, allowing it to develop.

"You're such a tumblr girl." Awsten laughed and kissed my shoulder.

"It's my birthday, you're not allowed to bully me!" I pouted.

"I promise not to, now will you just open it." He rolled his eyes but his smile suggested he wasn't actually annoyed.

I started to gently unwrap it. Underneath the wrapping paper was a fairly large shoebox that had a marble-like design on it. I lifted the lid off to see that he had made me a hamper.

"Awsten!" I smiled even more and gave him a kiss. I started to unwrap the individual gifts, one by one.

The first one I unwrapped was a bath bomb from lush, the guardians of the forest one. I took a big smell of it and smiled, thanking him.

The next thing I unwrapped was a sandalwood and patchouli candle with a box of matches that had the quote: 'Without inspiration, we're all like a box of matches that will never be lit.' I bit my lip as he was so adorable.

I finished opening the rest of the hamper in which he had given me: a Dottie James poetry t-shirt, an All the Bright Places phone case, a girl power patch, my own copy of the perks of being a wallflower (So I don't have to keep borrowing it from the library every time I want to read it again), and a bottle of my one of favourite lush perfume, sikkim girls.
