The sun made itself known as it peeked through the heavy crutains causing the beautiful brunette beside me to stir

I had a smile on my face at the sight ,she turned and nestled closer into my chest as if to hide from the harsh rays that were shining

"I swear,if the sun doesn't go away in the next five seconds" Natalie groaned ,as she balled her fist capturing my t shirt within its grasp in the process

"Not a morning person love?" I asked as I brushed away as lock of hair from her face ,she slowly opened her eyes and allowed them to adjust to the light

My heart began pounding against my ribcage making me feel like I was being shot from the inside minus all the pain

She noticed the position that we were both lying in and blushed profusely before trying to move away ,I frowned before realising that I was stronger

I moved from underneath her and effectively pinned her down on the mattress before hovering a few inches away from her rosebud lips ,she squealed at the sudden move before locking her beautiful chocolate brown eyes with mine and I felt myself stop breathing

She truly was breathtaking even in the morning ,just then there was a knock on the door and I groaned ,why the bloody hell would someone have to always ruin our moments?

Maybe I should ask her to come to my apartment?I'll talk to her about it later

"Who is it?" Natalie yelled sweetly

"Get up Birthday girl ,only 3days left before you turn 24...get up and enjoy your youth" Tiara yelled

I didn't even know her birthday was coming up ,I'll have to get her something but what do you gift the perfect person?

"Really tia couldn't you wait ?uhggggg go away we will be right down" she groaned as she looked back up at me ,it was only then did I realise that I do nt move from our current position

"Fine but hurry up with the celebrating and coupley stuff I miss my sister " Tiara said as she left the door

Natalie blushed as she smiled and it was a truley spectacular sight ,I felt like I won the lottery and became the president

"You didnt tell me your birthday was coming up" I said accusingly

"Well ummmmmmmm you never asked I suppose " she said matter of factly

"Well since you put it like that " I said as I smashed my lips into hers

After pulling away she asked"what was that for?"

"Well that's was for me being an idiot and not asking and a pretty birthday gift" I said letting my cockiness set in

"Haha,very funny ,but I really gotta get up and get downstairs so do you mind?" She asked and I moved

"How are you feeling love?" I asked as she slid her slippers onto her feet

"Much better thankfully" she said as she walked into her closet

I got up and went in with her ,it was the first time I walked into her closet To say I was shocked would be an understatement since there was nothing so much as a single shoe out of place

In the short time that I've known Natalie ,I have become acquainted with her neat freak side and if I'm being honest its sort of cute

I snaaked my arms around her waist from behind as I rested my head on top of hers

"What you wearing today love?" I asked

"Well it looks like good weather and I wanna go to the mall to pick out a dress for my birthday as the reunion so I suppose I'll wear my jeans and a jumper " she said as she pulled a maroon jumper of the rack
