BEFORE THE CLEARWATER'S

CHAPTER 15

SAVANNAH P.O.V

Valentine's day was any other day for me. Dad always got me chocolate and flowers and he always made breakfast for all of us. Seth had insisted on staying apart for the night saying that it would make the day more special if we didn't spend the night together. I wasn't going to argue. 

The smell of bacon woke me up and I quickly rushed downstairs. The flowers and chocolates were sitting on the island like always to greet us when we woke up. I smelled them before reading the card. Dad's messy handwriting was written on a card to mom and Peyton but not to me. 

"Where are mine?" I asked a little disappointed. I knew he wasn't exactly happy with me, hadn't fully forgiven me for everything with Seth but not getting me flowers hurt me. 

"Well, you have a boyfriend this year. I didn't know you still wanted flowers." He commented flipping over the pancakes he was making. 

"Oh. Right." The ring on my finger suddenly felt like it was 100 pounds and it made me realize that this was final. I really was just Seth's now and I wasn't going to be a Black for much longer. Not that I minded being a Clearwater. It was something that I had wanted for a long time. 

"I'm sorry." 

"No it's okay. Seth probably got me some." I smiled sitting down. I was gone to a ton of different stores with Alice trying to find the perfect gifts for him. I had no idea what to get him because I knew all he would ever say he wanted was me. So I got him some pools. He had been complaining that he couldn't fix things around his place without borrowing tools from people. So I figured he would enjoy them. He would get good use out of them. 

"What does he have planned for today?" 

"I don't know. He didn't tell me. Just said he would be over after breakfast." I shrugged stealing a piece of bacon. Mom came out of their room holding Finn. 

"Morning." Dad smiled at her. "Happy Valentine's Day." He kissed her. Their height difference was so close. Seth was shorter than dad but I was about the same height as mom. It was funny seeing mom not even reach dad's upper arm. 

"Happy Valentine's day." She commented back. Mom did the exact same thing as me and leaned over to smell the flowers. She read the card and he face automatically blushed bright red. Lucky for me, I knew what the card said and dad's plans for tonight. It was disgusting. 

Peyton came into the room and was thrilled to see her flowers. Ashton and Ryder each got gifts from mom instead of dad. It was always been like that. A little family tradition. 

We all ate breakfast together before everyone went their own ways. I went to shower and get ready to spend the day with Seth. I had no idea what he had planned but I knew that later tonight it involved lingerie. We had planned to stay at his place tonight. 

More and more of my stuff was being moved over there every week. My room was mostly empty now besides my bed and my clothes and a few other things. I wouldn't be taking any of the furniture with me. My parents said they were going to use it as a guest bedroom. I had no idea who was coming to visit them. Everyone we knew lived within ten minutes of each other. 

I waited for what seemed like forever for Seth to get here but finally he showed up in a simple pair of jeans and a white t-shirt. 

"Hi, beautiful." He smiled lifting me off the ground and kissing me. "Happy Valentine's day." I smiled at him. 

"Happy Valentine's Day. Would you like your gift?" 

"Sure." He smiled following me into the house. I had it laid out on the table perfectly wrapped. Of course he would be getting more later. He tore open the gift like a kid on Christmas. He smiled at the gift before chuckling.
