Jameson has a flashing grin on his face, nothing changed there.

Xander, being his silly self, also being the smallest at the time, now he is the tallest of them.

Nash has his arm around his brothers.

How cute they were.

I stare at that painting for a little while longer. Memorizing every detail of it.

All of the sudden, I am really thirsty.

I peel my eyes away from the painting and start down the hall again.

I reach the stairs, and head downstairs to the kichen.

I walk through the huge arch going in and go to the cabinet with the glasses in it. I open it, grabbing a tall glass.

I twirl over to the fridge and get some ice, then filling my cup with water.

I go and set my cup on the table, my back towards the entrance. I pull out my phone and scroll through some news sites.

Most top headlines are about me.

The Hawthorne Heiress.

I read some of the text, some saying I blackmailed Tobias, and that I was a con woman.

Just then, two muscular arms wrap around my waist.

Grayson brings his head down to my neck and kisses me.

"Hello beautiful" He says.

"Hi, I missed you." I say.

I start turning around.

He smiles and his eyes travel my face. His dimples are showing.

I bring my arms around his neck and bring my lips up to his.

He looks so good today.

"Happy Birthday!" I say excitedly.

He grins. "Thanks love." I smile at him.

"What are you up to?" He asks.

"Just looking at some stories, you know."

He nods. He grabs my hand and twirls me around. He picks me up.

Today im wearing my favorite Chanel boots, a mini skirt, a cute black ruffly shirt and some black transparent tights.

I wrap my arms around his neck

I wrap my arms around his neck.

We are going to be leaving for our surprise trip in a few hours, so I need to tell him now.

"So, Grayson"

"Yes?"

I think for a second how i can say this without giving it away.

"I have something special planned for your birthday." He smiles.

"Really?" I grin at him.

"Yeah, and we are leaving in a couple of hours so I would start packinnnngg"
