"Park... ah," I moaned as he bit my earlobe softly.
He returned his lips to mine and I blushed beneath his body. Park leaned back and winked at me, "Moaning at me, Dove?"
"No," I pouted, "I'm hungry."
"You're always hungry," he pointed out and returned to leaving kisses along my jawline.
I, reluctantly, moaned again as he trailed down further to suck gently on a sweet spot in my neck.
"Park, seriously," I gasped, "You're going to give me a hickey and I'll have to explain it to my teacher... and Emily."
Park leant back, "But... it marks you as mine."
Happy birthd-
I pushed him lightly away from me, "I know. But a teacher doesn't necessarily need to know that..."
Park frowned, "But, Do~ve..."
I leant forward and kissed his mouth sucking lightly on his bottom lip before pulling back, "I love you."
He sighed and ruffled my hair, "And I love you."
Happy birthday to-
"Park," I whispered, my real-self breaking through my dream-self, "I miss you like crazy..."
His eyes suddenly focused and I knew he was there, "I miss you too, Dove... Happy birthday?"
"Thanks," I murmured, kissing his cheek.

"Happy birthday dear, Nat," the girls chorused, finally jarring me awake, "Happy birthday to you!"
"Hip-hip!" Emily shouted.
"Hooray!" they chorused.
"Hip-hip!"
"Hooray."
Emily pounced on me in a hug, "Happy birthday, best friend!"
"Thanks, best friend," I hugged her tightly back, "Thanks everyone."
Emily let me go, "Present time! August 21st, a.k.a. the start of 'The Birthday Period' has officially begun!"
I smiled brightly at her, "Long live the birthday period!"
Everyone repeated after me and soon presents were being piled at my feet from a dozen or so girls in my year.
Emily begged, "Please open mine first!"
"Okay," I chuckled and ripped open the wrapping paper.
I laughed lightly, "Aw, this is so cute!"
It was a photo frame of Emily and myself our seventh-grade year when we both had chubby cheeks and limp hair in oversized uniforms. I placed it on my bedside table and hugged her again, "Thank you, Em..."
"No problem, Talie," she smiled.
Rose placed a large, pretty box in my lap, "It's from me and Whitney."
I smiled at the two of them before taking the box lid off. I let out a giggle at the present inside - another box. I took the lid off that one to reveal, yet another box and then an actual present in gift paper. I ripped up the gift paper and pulled out a new wallet.
I grinned, "I've been eyeing this off for ages, how did you know?"
Whitney winked, "A little birdy by the name of Em told us."
