19th August
John's POV
"Good morning birthday boy!" I heard come from the soothing, familiar voice coming from next to me. I gave a cheesy smile and invited Eden in for a hug.
"How come you're cold?"
"I had to get your presents from my car didnt I?" She laughed.
"Why did you get me presents? You didn't have to do that!"
"No complaining, especially not today. Now come on my love" she said in a mockingly posh accent, pulling me off the mattress.
I walked into the kitchen offering her a tea but she declined my offer and waited for me on the couch surrounded by a pile of presents, to which I was surprised by the amount.
Eventually the kettle finished boiling on the stove and I filled up the mug with the teabag and sugar in and topped it off with a splash of milk. Taking it into the room carefully, Eden tapped on the sofa suggesting that I hurried up and sat next to her.
"Someone's eager" I chuckled
"Just sit down love" she replied smiling, "take this" she handed me a large box wrapped in wrapping paper and watched me open it.
"If you don't like it or something, I've still got receipts"
"Are you joking! Why on earth would you buy me something so expensive?"
It was a black, silk shirt with stars covering the torso, it looked like it wasn't cheap either. I couldn't even describe how grateful I was for it.
"It's because I love you" she leaned in kissing me.
"I love you too"
"Plus it'll give you something to wear when queen do gigs and things, when are you next performing by the way"
"Hm, I think some time towards the end of August. I'll let you know"
She handed me more presents, one being a box of "Faberge" cologne which she knew I loved. Another was an omega watch. "Oh my word! What on earth, why did you get me this" I cried in hysterics.
"Stop asking me! It's nothing" she said pulling me in for a hug. Passing me a envelope she began to speak, "this might seem like a random thing to buy you but it's just something I thought you might like to do with whoever you choose to take"
Confused, I opened the envelope to find tickets for a Paul McCartney concert. "Eden."
"Do you hate it?"
I began laughing but also feeling so overwhelmed. "You're joking! I don't, oh my word, I love it! You're coming with me aren't you?"
"It's your choice" she replied.
"Obviously it's you" I smiled heavily, "come here" I said pulling her in for a kiss.
" I love you so much" she told me
"and I love you most"Eden's POV
I think it was safe to say I nailed the presents, given Johns reaction to them all. He seemed so grateful, and I couldn't be more happy. There weren't any plans on the agenda, so we played the morning by ear and ended up getting ready to go out to the cinema to see 'M*A*S*H' because John was a huge film fan.I toyed between a few outfits which all depended on the weather. One was a colourful shirt and skirt to go with it
But I also wondered if I should've worn something a bit more casual, and probably more appropriate.
So I settled for a dainty white vest and a denim skirt and blue wedges. John (despite it being 22° outside) insisted on wearing his new shirt and jeans
Although I couldn't complain, he looked darn good. "Oh wow, John. Look at you"
"I'm never taking this off, I love it" he said laughing enthusiastically talking about his new top.
"Let's go Lovie" I exclaimed.After a short drive we arrived at the cinema which was luckily quite calm and air conditioned. It was a Wednesday so most people were working, which reminded me of how I had to begin working soon and save up for my new flat. But today wasn't meant to be about me, only John, who seemed to be enjoying the movie. The entire theatre was empty besides us randomly which led to many make out sessions, but from the few scenes I saw from the movie it seemed okay. I was lucky I wore a skirt really, nothing too crazy happened but it was slightly teasing John, screw the bible today I thought to myself.
The movie ended and much to my annoyance we had to leave. So we went to a small cafe by the other end of the arcade, starving, I downed a bowl of cauliflower soup with bread on the side and John had scampi and chips and with that we came back home a relaxed for a while.
"You're a tease"
"What?" I laughed
"That god damn skirt"
"It's a skirt?"
"Exactly, and you look so good in the skirt... you're not getting it, come here"
I shuffled over excitedly straddling over johns hips kissing him passionately. "When's your mum here?" "Not for a few hours" John replied smiling. He seemed almost frustrated as he kissed me, but it was even more attractive.
Slowly he pulled off my top until I was in just my silk bra, I unbuttoned his shirt ripping it off aggressively. I noticed he stared a lot, but I knew it was his first time so I found it sweet. When he unzipped the back of my skirt, I noticed he became uneasy. "Deaky, if you're not ready"
"No, no it's not that" he quickly cut me off, "just thinking, I always told myself I'd wait until I was ready with a wife, you know. But the thing is, with you I feel completely ready now, you make me feel safe and like it's normal"
"John, if there's anyone I trust to do something this important with its you, okay?"
He said nothing but instead kissed me and continued to pull off my skirt. The following events are predictable, but for me, at first I felt slight pain but pleasure eventually. John was so gentle and checked on me often. It was an unexpected moment but something I'd think about for a while.John's POV
I never thought I'd trust a girl so early on in a relationship, but she trusted me and I respected that. I could tell for her it wasn't overly pleasurable at first for her, so I tried to help out by going slower. Eventually the rhythm synced between the two of us and the result was something I'd never felt before. I wasn't sure how she felt after, but I felt like asking was important. While I buttoned you my shirt and helped her put her skirt back on, she was still quietly catching her breath.
"Are you okay?"
"What do you mean" she said very smiley
"Uh... was it okay for you?" I asked awkwardly.
"Shutup John. You damn well know it was" she said laughing and pecking my cheek.
"Thank you" I replied giggling along.

Bit of a different chapter really but I just thought "screw it" 😂. If anyone for a random reason went back to the authors not which gave a picture of who i though the characters would looked like, I changed Eden's character to Claudia Wells, but as I said then, feel free to imagine her as whoever you'd like.
