Curveball

Chapter 32

**Morgan's POV**

Smiling even brighter than you had been when you feel his arm wrap around your waist holding you close to him as you walked to the Lobby.  Wondering where you might be going with him so dressed up.  There is something to be said about a man dressed in a tux though that will make you melt.  When you reach the lobby you are confused when he doesn't have you guys go to get a car but continue through the hotel.  He stops and whispers in your ear to keep your eyes closed until he gives you the sign to open them.  Closing your eyes quickly as he guides you through the hallways of the hotel.   Noticing how when you come to turns how he slows down to make sure you don't hit anything as you continue on.  Knowing for sure you had not gone to this part of the hotel unless he was having you somehow walk in circles.  All of a sudden he stops, telling you that you can open your eyes and you see a closed set of double doors in front of you.  Looking at Adam with a confused look, as he just smiles at you as he grabs one of the door handles and has you walk in.  

Walking in, you almost jump out of your skin as you hear the collective SURPRISEEEEEE form everyone.  Not expecting to see everyone you have met even in passing in your time here so far, along with the very romantic setup the whole ballroom has taken.  Turning around you throw your arms around Adam's neck, whispering in his ear, "Thank you so much Daddy!" As he kisses you softly, and keeping hold of one of your hands, before you start to feel people coming closer to you guys.  Saying Hello, and thank you as everyone comes up and says Happy Birthday to you.  Feeling so overwhelmed by all the attention and so many people being here yet so grateful at the same time.  Laughing to yourself knowing Adam is dying to go dig into the food, squeezing his hand softly.  After the next wave of people you are able to excuse yourself to go get some food.  As you add all sorts of goodies to your plate, you laugh as Adam is carrying two plates for himself.  You notice that they set up a small table for just the two of you, as you follow Adam to the table.  Knowing you haven't smiled this much, for this long in a while with how your face is starting to hurt.  "This is amazing!  It's crazy, but amazing.  I don't think I can ever thank you enough for this.  I won't lie, I do like having a table that is just for us though, have our own little quiet space.  How did you manage to pull all this off?"  You ask him, before taking a bite of your food.  He explains how he wanted this to be special for you, that he had some help from Daisy & John since they know the area better than most.  How everyone wanted to celebrate and they wouldn't let you just do a simple night with just the two of you.   You can't help but laugh, thinking how he would want to do a nice quiet night but Daisy, Oscar & John vetoing him.   Looking out at all the people who are eating, mingling and having fun.  Finishing your plate of food and feeling full, you smile as you watch Adam being the bottomless pit he is with food.    When he finishes he smiles at you, asking if you would like something to drink, taking his hand walking over to the bar.    Looking at what they have available behind the bar, deciding to keep it simple, as the bartender comes over to you and Adam, gesturing for you to order first, "I'll have a a coors light please."  Surprised but grateful to see a beer you know, wanting to try to keep a hand of what is going on just in case anyone tries to order you something to drink.  Adam gets a Macallan on the rocks, pulling him to you, "Please don't let anyone try to get me anything stronger than this tonight.  I would prefer to not have a migraine on the plane ride tomorrow."  He smiles as he kisses you just as the DJ starts the dance party.  Smiling into the kiss so excited about being able to dance with Adam, as you break the kiss you drinks are waiting in front of you.  

Taking Adam's hand you go straight for the dance floor with drinks in hand, seeing John, Daisy & Oscar.  Walking over to them, you hug them all tightly and thank them as best as you can over the music before you all start dancing.  Making a mental note to yourself how fun it is to see all of them so carefree, wishing these moments could happen more often.  Laughing as you all dance a fool, taking sips here and there of your beer.   It was funny, almost every time your beer was almost finished someone had grabbed you a new one.  You were starting to feel really good and knew you needed to slow down, as Adam went for a refill you asked him to grab you an ice water.  He kisses you as he went to grab your drinks.  Feeling like taking a small break, you sit over to the side of the dance floor watching everyone, Oscar comes over and sits with you.  "I have to say that big lug of a guy is crazy for you.  Joanne would be so happy to see you both so happy.  I know I'm happy to have you both in my life.  Also a little birdy tells me congratulations are in order for you, that we will see you around here maybe a little more."  You both laugh as you nod, "To say it's been a whirlwind of a week is an understatement.  We officially went on our first date, I was surprised with a role in Star Wars, and now all this!  Meanwhile I'm used to my birthdays just being me and a few people either hanging out in someone's backyard or us going to a bar and drinking.  I never could've imagined my life changing so much so quickly.  I mean I'm happy but it's a lot sometimes, you know?"  You look up in his eyes as he hugs you like the big brother he has become.  "It takes someone really special to hold up as well as you are Morgan, plus you have all of us in your corner to help.  You have quickly become my little sister, so if you need anything I will be here for you."  Smiling just as Adam comes over with a little inquisitive look on his face, as you stand up on your tip toes to kiss him. As you lean back from the kiss he hands you your water.  You wrap your arms around Adam looking up at him smiling, as you see him smirk, before he leans down to kiss you on the forehead.
