Since I was turning 18 in a few days, Juliet wanted me to hang out with her before Harry stole me away for this, "Birthday weekend surprise," as he called it. I got up and stretched, then took a shower. I examined myself in the mirror when i was done, pleased with my choice of clothing. I was wearing a navy blue blouse, my white shorts, and my Navy TOMS. I pulled two sections of my hair back and put them up in bobby-pins.
I went out of the bathroom and got my purse out of the chair that was in the corner of the room. I saw Anne sitting on a chair at the table. "Hey Emily!" Anne said smiling and waving at me. "Hello Anne!" I said waving back. "So your friend is taking you out somewhere today?" she asked, taking a sip of her tea. "Yeah!" I said, nodding politely. I made myself some cereal and ate it quickly.
I kissed Anne's cheek and went out the door. I closed the door and hummed a song as I walked to Juliet's house. I walked up her stone pathway, and knocked on her door. She opened it and there, i saw my best friend, Juliet Tompkins. She was happy, as usual, and wearing a yello blouse, white shorts, and some sandals. She hugged me and got her purse from the table inside,
She smiled and closed the door, then we started walking. "So what have you got planned today?" i asked her, as she got in her car. I got in the passenger seat, and she answered, "Oh, i thought that, mabe you and I could go eat lunch, since Haz has the dinner planned already- Crap! i ruin everything! Crap! crap! crap!" she said repeatedly, putting her palm of her hand against her forehead over and over again.
"It's fine, Jules!" I said, while carefully taking her hand away from her head. I laughed as she narrowed her eyes and started to drive. We turned on the radio, and Can't Stand It by Never Shout Never was on! "I LOVE THIS SONG!!" Juliet screamed, turning it up. "ME TOO!" i screamed back, laughing at her. We sang/screamed the whole song as we rode to the mall.
When we got there, we went to our favourite shop, Ooh La La. We shopped for about 20 minutes, then went to a small restaraunt. After we ate and shopped, she told me that I had to go home because I had to get ready. I laughed and thanked her for the lunch. I went home and found Anne laying on the couch, sleeping. I smiled and went into my room.
I got dressed into a blue dress and I curled my hair. I waled out of my room to find Harry at the bottom of the stairs, in a dashing tuxedo, that showed off his abs. Oh god... "Hello Emily!" He said, hugging me and kissing me. "Hey, Haz." I said smilng at him. "you lok beautiful, as always." He whispered into my ear, making chills go down my spine. "Well, you look pretty sexy yourself." I said winking at him. We both laughed and walked out.
"Where are you taking me?" I asked, as we both got into the car. He started the engine and said, "You'll see." I smiled and thought of him. god damnit, he's so perfect. We soon came to a park. "What're we doing here, Haz?" I asked. "just go with it." He said taking my hand and leading me out of the car and towards that front gate of the park. He smiled as we walked through the gate. The ground was covered in rose petals and there was a blanket and a small basket near it.
The sky was perfect and there was fireflies. He sat down on the blanket, so i sat next to him. "This is perfect." I said, while cuddling my head into his chest. "Just like you." He said, kissing my forehead. I blushed and kissed his cheek. "Would you like to eat, love?" he asked me, while pulling the basket near us. "Sure!" I said, while cuddling on his lap. He smiled at me, and pulled out two sandwhiches. "Sandwhiches? I love sandwhiches!" I teased, hitting his chest. He laughed and kissed me. We ate, and he started to sing to me.
"Settle down with me,
cover me up,
cuddle me in.
Lie down with me, and hold me in your arms.
And your heart's against my chest, your lips pressed to my neck.
I'm falling for your eyes, but they don't know me yet.
And with a feeling i'll forget, i'm in love now.
Kiss me like you wanna be loved, wanna be loved, wanna be loved
This feels like fallin' in love, fallen in love, fallen in love.
Setle down with me, and i'll be your safety, you'll be my lady.
I was made to keep your bady warm, but i'm cold as the wind blows,
so hold me in your arms.
My heart's against your chest, your lips pressed to my neck.
I've fallen for your eyes, but they don;t know me yet.
and with this feelin' i'll forget, i'm in love now.
Kiss me like you wanna be loved, wanna be loved, wanna be loved
this feels like fallin' in love, fallen in love, fallen in love.
Yeah, i've been feelin' everything from hate to love
from love to lust,
from lust to truth,
I guess that's how i know you.
So hold you close to help you give it up.
so kiss me like you wanna be loved, wanna be loved, wanna be loved
Thei feels like fallin' in love, fallen in love, fallen in love.
Kiss me like you wanna be loved, wanna be loved, wanna be loved.
This feels like fallin' in love, fallen in love, fallen in love..."
He finished and he kissed me for a long time. "I love you." He said, holding my hand. "Haz, that was beautiful. I love you too." I said. We lay down and looked at each other, holding hands. He smiled at me and said, "I'm excited for this weekend."
"What are we doing this weekend, Haz?" I asked him curiously. I watched him as he pulled out two tickets for something. He handed me one, and it was an airplane ticket. "Oh my god, Haz!" I said hugging him tightly. "Anything for you, Emily." He said, while kissing me. I smiled and looked where he planned on taking me. It said California! Maybe i could go see my old friend Denisse for my birthday! Denisse used to be my really good friend for a while, but then my mum had to move... I miss Denisse like crazy! I kissed him for a long time and he smiled at me. "Happy Birthday, Emily." He said, while wrapping his arms around me.
I nuzzled my face into his neck and he pulled us up from the ground. I noticed that there really wasn't anyone lese there, besides us. He pressed "play" on the stereo, that I didn't realize was there... wow. The song that started was Hummingbird by Never Shout Never; my favourite band. I smiled at the song, he must've known that i loved this band. He smiled at me and pulled me close.
He wrapped his hands around my waist, and I wrapped my arms around his neck. I put y head on his shoulder, and we swayed from side to side. He smiled at me and kissed me softly when the song was done. "I love you, Emily." he said. "I love you too, Harry." i replied, kissing him. I was really happy. He was such a gentleman. I was realy excited for this weekend.
