"SURPRISE!!"
Ho-ly shit. A mass of people jump up from behind the booths and scare the living daylight out of me. More lights come up around the room illuminating a rose wall, several balloon decorations dotted around and birthday decorations that transform the venue. It honestly looks like some Kardashian party... and it's for me? I turn around to where Jacob and the girls are grinning at me,
"Don't look at us, we didn't do this..." Jacob says gesturing behind me. I swing round met with Colton rubbing the nape of his neck sheepishly, my feet move my body forwards and I throw my arms around his neck.
"You're such an idiot," I giggle into his neck inhaling his fresh citrusy cologne sent, god he smells good. The whole day he's been avoiding me but not for the reasons I thought. How long has he been planning this?
"An idiot that did good?" His gravely voice low in my ear,
"Really good, unbelievably good, I... have no words. Thank you Shirt-boy," His arms tighten around my waist lifting me slightly off the ground caught up in our own little moment until it's broken apart by an abrupt spurt of coughing from behind us, Colton lowers me back to the ground where Anto is stood with Marsha on his arm,
"Buon compleanno Bambina!" He says never removing his narrowed eyes from Colton.
Happy birthday baby girl.
Marsha slaps him on the arm, signalling for him to stop staring CJ down, as she pulls me into a bone-crushing hug. Resting on her shoulder I look behind her to the crowd of people who are here, Nicki, Sammy with Lolly and Tasha, who also worked at Nicki's with me, Frannie, Bleu and his family, Sofia's dad, Anto's kids, Will and the entire tour crew, Jayden and... two other guys. How has he done all of this? I just don't understand...
Everythings amazing... perfect even... except one thing...one major thing that's missing,
"Look behind you," Marsha whispers in my ear releasing me, I turn on my heels only to be tackled by small arms,
"Happy birthday Gigi!" Luca screams, "I've missed you so much."He says as I grip his small waist and lift him up in a suffocating hug. My heart swells bigger than ever, a few tears slip from my lashline, this is the best present anyone could have ever given me...
"I've missed you too baby, so so so so much!" I whisper back making him giggle, suddenly my legs are met with a few more pairs of clammy hands,
"We want hugs too Auntie Gigi!" I look down to find Alessio and Zada pouting up at me, I giggle scooping all three children into my arms and peppering them all in kisses until they've had enough. I look back at Colton, still in awe, who's just grinning at me.
It was this moment she realised she was in trouble, as it was this moment she realised... she may have... may be... very possibly... be falling for Colton Jax.
