Chapter Thirteen
*Claire*
"Claire, wake up! It's your birthday today!" Mike and Vic shouted. They were jumping on my bed.
"Whhhaaattt?!" I groaned.
"Thanks Mike, I'll take it from here." Vic said, followed by footsteps, and the door closing.
"Happy birthday, babygirl." Vic smiled and kissed my cheek.
"Morning, Vic." I said as I sat up.
"I don't want to go to school today."
I groaned again. "Ah, but you have to" He laughed.
"Ugh. And today I have to stay until 5 for choir practice!" I moaned. "Don't do that." Vic said.
"C'Mon. Hurry up and get dressed!" He yelled and walked out of my room.
*SKIPPING BECAUSE SCHOOL IS EWW*
The dismissal bell rang and I walked to Choir. I love this class, don't get me wrong, but I want to stay home with Vic on my birthday. Not stay here.
Vic came by the classroom and smiled at me. "Im gonna go run an errand for my mom, so when your ready. Call me okay baby."
I nodded. "Okay." He left and I went back to my spot on the risers.
Back to my boring school life.
*Vic*
I smiled to myself as I began my truck. I was going to buy Claire her gift. I have been planning it for days.
I walked into the store and instantly saw the 'gift' I had planned to get her.
I walked over to the register and pointed to it. "How much is that one?"
********
Just as I had sat down on the couch Claire had called me. So right now I'm driving to school to pick her up.
I honestly can't wait to see her face when she sees what I bought her.
She smiled as she closed the door and strapped herself in.
"How was practice?" "Meh." She shrugged.
When we arrived home, I made her wait until I opened her door.
"Thank you." She smiled. I nodded and led her to her room.
"Claire. Happy Birthday." She looked truly confused until she opened get door.
"Vic! You got me a puppy?!" She asked. "Yup. Happy Birthday, Claire!" She smiled at the puppy.
"Hi there! What's your name?" She asked. "That is for you to decide." I chuckled. She is so good with dogs.
"Well then can you help me with a name?" She asked.
I nodded even though she couldn't see me.
"How about Stitch?" I asked, knowing she loved Lilo & Stitch when we were younger. "OMG! Yas!" She smiled.
She got up from her bed and hugged me. "Thank you, Vic." "No problem, Clairey." She scowled at the nickname and then slapped my arm.
"Oh. And remember yesterday?" She asked. I nodded. "I didn't get to say it. But I love you too."
We both smiled knowing both of us were being honest.
