soz I haven't updated earlier, as usual, stuff going on. OMG 5 days to xmas!
R+R
As a child, birthdays are always the highlight of their lives. They get all the attention, presents, cards and excitment.
When you grow up, the excitment fades away and it's just another year gone by and you're year older. For most people.
For a 20, well just 21 year old, I can be a little crazed on birthdays. Ok, a lot.
How I see it is that it's the one time of the year when you go from adult to child. I love it!
The only thing I don't like, is birthday parties. Don't ask why. Yet.
As usual I woke up pretty early to tend to my animals and crops.
The Autumn air was crisp and you could feel the frost coming, nearly winter.
Cookie always greeted me in the morning, she was becoming a prize winning hen, already giving me high A ranked eggs.
Riley just follows me everywhere, a very lively puppy.
I also got a sheep and a cow called Flossy and Daisy.
When I finished tending to the animals, I checked the letterbox to see if I had any cards.
I flicked through the letters.
Junk.
Junk.
Junk.
Junk.
Oh, a competion to go to paris... Junk.
Birthday card.
Birthday card.
Birthday card.
"Well if it isn't the birthday girl herself!" Oh crap...Julia.
Then something or should I say someone jumped on my back.
"Julia get off!" I shouted at her.
"Nuh uh! Birthday bumps yay!" No! No! Anything but that! "Ready?"
"No" I squeaked.
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 and one for luck 22." She was punching my arm as hard as she could. She jumped off my back and smiled.
"You love me a lot don't you." She said sarcastically.
"You wish." I laughed.
"Well, 21. You're getting old."
"Look who's talking, you're 22 in a few months time."
"Whatever, now about a party..."
"No. Absolutly no." I stopped her in her track.
"Why not?" She pleaded.
"Well, for my 13th I had a party, everyone turned up that I invited. Everything was going smoothly till an argument broke out between me and the most popular girl in the school.
It happened just because I didn't invite her, everyone went on her side and since then I was a loner cause I didn't invite the so called popular girl.
I was apparently out of order, tight and a bitch."
Julia didn't say anything.
"Yeah ok. It sounds petty, I just don't want arguments and things like that."
"No, it's not petty I understand, it won't happen again. Anyway, I gotta go, see ya round."
"Bye."
What does she mean by it won't happen again?
I shrugged it off and carried along with my jobs and chores.
I was lied on the sofa watching a soppy romance film when someone knocked on the front door.
I dragged my legs to the door and opened it. Vaughn was there, his hat covering his face again.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Mirrabelle asked me to ask you to check out a sick animal." He pulled his hat down even further.
Something was up.
"I got my hands full at the momment...sorry." I lied.
He hesitated.
"She said it was urgent. She wouldn't of asked other wise."
"Fine."
"Shouldn't the animal be in the barn?" I asked as he opened the shop door.
It was all dark, well, it's pretty obvious what's going on. 50 people are going to jump out and shout 'happy birthday!' when I switch on the lights.
I decided to have some fun.
I switched the lights on for a split second and back off.
"HAPPY-" they started to shout.
I switched them back on.
"Birthday?" I laughed. I looked at Vaughn who was almost smiling.
The shop was all decorated, party food layed out and music started playing.
Julia came up to me pouting.
"Way to ruin the suprise Chels."
"Julia, it was obvious number one 'cause Vaughn can't lie to save his life and two, the whole lights out thing."
"How am I a bad lier?" He asked.
"I'll show you." I took his hat from his head.
"Oi!" I put my index up at him to say 'wait'
I put on the hat covering my eyes and put on a deep voice.
"Mirrabelle asked me to ask you to check out a sick animal." I pulled the hat down lower, Julia was giggling like a hienna.
I took off the hat and looked at him. Oh my god, he looked so cute without his hat "You look better without your hat ya know." I smiled and joined the crowed.
"Can I have everyone's attention!" Mirrabelle called.
The noise fadded into silence.
"We're all here for one person and that's Chelsea." This is leading on to something. "That lot over there is your's Chels and in return I think we want a speech." she pointed to a table of cards and presents.
"Speech! Speech! Speech!" Everyone was chanting.
"Ok ok!" I shouted. "Where should I start? Thank you all for coming, I've really enjoyed the party and I hope you lot have as well and as for the presents thank you so much but you really shouldn't of. Not much else to say apart from let's continue with the party!"
The party lasted for another 3 hours. When everyone left, I started to help clear up.
"Chels, we'll deal with that, Vaughn will take you home." Mirrabelle said.
"Are you sure?"
"Very."
"Thank you for the party, it was great."
"Oh don't thank, you go home now. Vaughn go with Chelsea."
"Fine..." He grunted.
We got to the enterance of my farm.
"Thaks for everything."
He seemed to have ignored me.
"I-I have something for you."
He took out a little wrapped up box from his pocked and handed it to me.
"Open it, I want to see what you think of it."
I carefully unwrapped it and opened the box.
In it was a charm bracelet with my name on it and animal charms with crystals outlining them.
My eyes lit up. I didn't know what to say. It was beautiful.
"T-thank you, it's beautiful."
Then I.
Then I kissed him on the cheek.
His face turned into a red rose and then he kissed me. On the lips.
So how was it? I hope you like it. R+R please. =D
