Chapter 2

"You alright love?"

I looked over to see Reece standing in the doorway with his hands in his pockets, shirt left unbuttoned 

I sighed and nodded fixing my necklace and throwing my hair up messily 

"Worried?" he guessed

I dropped my hands down by my side and shrugged 

He opened his arms and I smiled, walking over and pressing myself to his chest

"You look beautiful" he whispered in my ear "Why are you so worried?"

"I don't want to make a whole big deal of this, I'm getting older, why do we have to celebrate?" I muttered

"Because your 18"

"What does that matter?"

"You're not a kid anymore that's what it means" 

"And you are?"

He laughed "Until November, Yes"

I sighed and pressed my nose into his skin "I don't want to do this"

He rubbed his hands in circles on my back "It's no big deal babe, we'll go for dinner, have some drinks, laugh, come home and I'll make you cookie dough ice-cream" 

"Promise?"

"Promise" 

I kissed his neck and looked up at him "Want me to do your buttons?"

"You don't have to baby me" he grinned "But yeah"

I rolled my eyes "Idiot"

He leaned down and kissed my neck as I pulled the shirt together and worked his buttons closed 

"You love me"

"That's why I'm marrying you"

He smiled wider "Fiancé" 

I laughed and slapped his chest "Were late"

He grabbed his keys off the hall table and we were off

“Happy Birthday Quinn!”

I pushed myself closer into Reece’s side

“Thanks everyone” I smiled

The group of friends and family dismembered from a large group and spread out onto all of the tables of the pub Wayne ran

“You really didn’t have to do this” I whispered to Reece

He kissed the top of my head and smirked “I didn’t”

“Babes!”

I turned to see a fiery red head walking towards me, dressed up in a black dress and red heels with two glasses of champagne in each hand

I smirked and threw my arms around her “Hey Bre”

She giggled and hugged me awkwardly trying not to spill the drinks

“Here you go lovely” she smiled handing me the drinks before looking over at Reece “You can go get your drink from Harry”

Reece smiled and nodded at us before walking off to find our youngest friend

“So, I have something for you”

I rolled my eyes “Bre, knock it off, I don’t want any presents”
