Forever - Christian Yelich

You'll See.

Brooklyn~

I woke up in my own bed and honestly it was a relief. Being in your own bed is like a luxury when you're constantly traveling. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love traveling, it's one of my favorite things to do, but those hotel beds, they're just not it. But, today was a special day, for me at least. It's my birthday, and the whole team has an off day. I was spending the entire day not worrying about work at all. 

I got up and headed to my kitchen to make some coffee and get my day started. I looked at my phone and saw a text from Christian. 

Christian: Happy Birthday baby! I will be over in 30 minutes so we can start your special day. Don't eat anything for breakfast. Dress casually, but bring a swimsuit. I'll see you soon. <3

Thank you! I'll be ready! <3 

I quickly get ready and put on some jeans and a tank top and got a small bag ready. I have no idea what he has planned today, but what I do know is that I am ready to spend it with him. I go back to my living room, waiting for Christian to get here. I pick up around my apartment quickly and make sure I can come home to a clean place. I hear a knock at my door and see Christian on the other side with a gigantic smile on his face. I open the door and smile at him and let him in. 

He hands me a small bouquet of summer flowers and I lean in to kiss him. "Thank you, Christian," I say and head to the kitchen to put in a vase and set them on the table. 

"What are we doing first?" I ask and he shoves his hands in his pockets.

"That's for me to know and you to find out," he says and I scoff and shake my head. I grab my bag and we head out the door to his car. 

Christian started driving and put his hand on my thigh and I put mine over his as we started heading down the Lake Michigan coast. We ended up at a brunch cafe that looks over Lake Michigan. We sat down in the back of the restaurant and talked for a bit. 

"What's on this year's plan?" he asks and I tilt my head not quite understanding what he means. 

"What do you mean? Like my goals for being 24?" I ask and he nods. 

"Well, I hope to possibly buy a house in the next year. I know I want to do some traveling in the offseason. But, I think the number one thing, is to push everything 'bad' that has happened out of my head and really focus on me, and you and me," I say as he smiles and nods. 

"I think that is all possible if you set your mind to it," he tells me all while grabbing my hands. 

We eat and head out back to his car and start going back into the city. We turn into a neighborhood that I don't recognize at all, but I realize that all of the houses are on a lake. 

"Christian, what are we doing?" I ask as we pull into a driveway with a ton of cars. 

"You'll see," he says and laughs and shuts off the car. I get out of the car and Christian comes around to my side and puts his hands over my eyes and I can no longer see anything. 

"Christian, oh my god, what are you doing?" I say. 

"Trust me," he says and kisses my neck before walking us toward who knows where. 

Christian guides me to somewhere outside which I believe I am on some sort of deck. "You can open your eyes on 3," he says as he removes his hands from my face. 

"Ready?" I nod, "Okay, 1. 2. 3," he says and I open my eyes and see all of the guys and their significant others surrounding us, "Happy Birthday Brooklyn," they all say in unison.
