You finally arrive at my house, all pretty and beautiful. Which you always are. Whenever I see you, I still get butterflies. When we kiss, I fall in love with you all over again.
You walk up to my door and give me a little kiss.
"Hey," I let you inside.
"Happy 1 year and 3 month anniversary!" you yell out.
This year and months with you have been the best that I've experienced in a while. You makes my days much brighter. Before you, I was stuck in the dark days with no one to help pull me out, but you came along and my life changed for the better. I love you so much.
"Happy anniversary!" I yell back.
You move the bag you have been hiding behind her legs in the front, "So I brought a bunch of old movies and popcorn and a little gift for you." You pull out this lavender flower crown that I used to bug you with ever since we first started dating.
"Are you serious?" I laugh, "I've wanted this ever since a year ago."
"Better late then never," you kiss my cheek then head to the kitchen so you can pop the popcorn.
"So what did you do before coming here?" I ask.
You close the microwave and just stand there for a second just thinking, "Oh, um," you say as you put in the time, "I was buying popcorn."
That didn't seem like the truth, "Are you sure?"
"Definitely," she says walking closer to me.
"Pinky promise?" I stick out my pinky.
"Pinky promise," you wrap your pinky around mine then kiss me.
That's out little thing. We both know that we can't break a pinky promise and we can't break it even more when we add a kiss at the end.
"So are we going to watch these movies, or are we going to silently watch these movies," I smirk at you.
"Both," you go over to the popcorn.
"Sounds like a plan," I run over to pick you up and bring you to the couch.
You are screaming, "Put me down!" because you hate being off the ground, so I dropped you on the couch and lie on top of you to kiss you.
"Get off of me fat ass," you say trying to push me off.
I laugh and get the movies set up. "Did you seriously pick all these Disney movies?"
"What! There's also some scary movies in there," you say.
"The Visit is not scary whatsoever," I laugh holding up the dvd.
"True, but it's what we went to go see on our first date," you sit up.
I put in a movie then ran over to sit right next to you. The whole time we were watching the movie, but most of the time, I don't even remember what happened. Y'know.
You move around a lot when we're watching movies. Let's me honest, you move around a lot when we're just sitting on the couch. You either have your legs on top of mine, or you sit on my lap, or we lay down with me behind you and my arms wrapped around your waist.
There were times where you just look at me instead of the tv, I'd act like I don't notice at first, but when I would pull you in closer just to kiss you passionately.
The movie ended and we were laying down just staring at each other playing with each other's fingers.
"You are the first girl I've been with that I actually see a future with," I tell you.
"I see you in my future too," you start tearing up.
"You are amazing and beautiful and I love you so much."
You hide your face like you always do whenever I tell you that, and I always move your hands so I can kiss you.
The weekend went by pretty fast and Monday came long. I was walking over to my second period when I met up with my best friend.
"Hey," I call out.
"Hey! I was thinking for your birthday that we can have a guys night," he brings up, "just like old times."
"I was thinking that I was going to be with her-"
He cuts me off, "Cmon we never hang out with just us anymore. I mean it won't be just us on your birthday, we'll have the og group."
"That seems like fun actually," I consider, "Okay let's do it!"
"Cool! So bowling Friday night?"
"Seems legit."
Friday night comes around fast and I'm at home getting ready to go bowling.
You text me to have a good time tonight and that we'll celebrate my birthday on yours because our birthdays are five days apart. I'm always so grateful that you're not that type to always want me for yourself. You let me have fun with my friends and that makes me happy.
He texts me that he needs to pick up something on at the activities center before we head to bowling, I was fine with it. I didn't really care.
The car ride there was quiet. He seemed so tense, but it didn't seem like it was life changing.
We finally get there and he says, "Okay I'm going to get that thing I needed."
"I know, let's just go," I laugh.
He walked pretty slow so I walked in first. Everything was dark until someone turn on the lights and said, "SURPRISE!"
You run up to me, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOSER!" and give me a kiss.
"Did you do all this for me?" I ask.
"Well with the help of your very very great best friend here," you say as you walk over to him and rest your head on his shoulder.
"You guys are great," I say with a gigantic smile on my face.
I leave them to go greet everyone else.
The party was amazing. I had so much fun on my birthday then I've had in a really long time. During the whole thing I was just thinking to myself that I am so lucky that I have an amazing girlfriend, and an incredible best friend that'll be there for me whenever I need them.
I know it was my night and everyone wanted to be around me, but I wanted to have you to have a little alone time with just us. Y'know.
"Hey, have you seen her?" I ask almost everyone at the party. No one knew where you were. Until I ran into your best friend who was completely drunk.
"Oh she's outside," she told me, "she wanted to get some fresh air because it was getting all stuffy in here.
"Thanks!" I tell her as I walk towards the exit.
I was planning to go out to the garden in the back and give you this promise ring. I've had it for a while. I wanted to give it to you on Valentine's Day, or if I chickened out, on your birthday afterwards, but right now was the perfect moment. You looked beautiful tonight. You curled her hair, which you never does unless something special is going on, you did your make up all perfect, and wore that strapless black sparkly skin tight dress that looks stunning on your body. What could be any better?
I finally walk outside and I couldn't believe my eyes. I saw you with him. Together. Kissing.
