Chapter 11: Birthday ll
After being carried in Eddie's arms, back into her house, Patricia's feet rested themselves back onto the ground. Her arms stayed around Eddie's shoulders as Eddie then wrapped his arms around Patricia's waist. Patricia smiled as she realised that Eddie had travelled half way across the world just for her and most importantly he had kept his promise and had succeeded in making this birthday special. That meant a lot to Patricia because she was so used to being let down, but this time she hadn't.
"You've never been here before" Patricia pointed out. "How did you know where I lived?" she then asked.
"Oh it took me forever to convince Joy to give me your address" Eddie told her. "I now owe her Taylor Swift concert tickets or something" he then shrugged, as if he had never heard of Taylor Swift before.
Patricia smiled as she inched her face closer to Eddie's, so their foreheads were touching. "Well I'm glad that she told you where I live" Patricia replied before kissing Eddie gently on the lips. "You must be exhausted. Do you want a tour of the house now or do you just want to get some sleep?" she asked him.
"Ehh neither. There's only one hour and twelve minutes left of your birthday and I'm going to make the most of it" Eddie explained as he glanced down at his wrist, checking out his watch. "To the kitchen" he then said as he pointed to his right and began to walk down the hallway, attempting to find the kitchen.
"Eddie the kitchen is the other way" Patricia called.
"Of course it is" Eddie called back as he turned back around and began walking the opposite way to the way he was walking before, pulling his suitcase along with him. Patricia smiled at her boyfriend before following him down the hallway and into the kitchen, which he had finally found.
When Patricia joined Eddie in the kitchen she sat herself up on top of the kitchen counter and watched Eddie as he rummaged around in his suitcase for something. When Eddie found what he was looking for, he carefully placed it next to Patricia on the kitchen counter.
"Is that a birthday cake?" Patricia asked Eddie as she glanced down to the birthday cake next to her, which was iced with the words 'Happy Birthday Yacker'.
"Yes it is" Eddie smiled excitedly. "Have you got something I can cut it with?" he then asked.
"In the first draw closest to the sink" Patricia replied. "Why have you got me a birthday cake, aren't they for little kids?" she asked.
"No, they are not for little kids. Everyone has to have a birthday cake on their birthday" he explained.
"Okay, well you can now put getting Patricia her first birthday cake on your list of Patricia's firsts" Patricia told him.
"Wait, you've never had a birthday cake before?" Eddie asked her.
"Nope" she shrugged, not thinking that it was important, which caused Eddie to give her a sympathetic look. Eddie was honoured to be Patricia's first kiss, first date, first boyfriend and first 'I love you' but he honestly found it quite upsetting for Patricia that he was the first person to get her a birthday cake.
"Well then, here's a slice of your first ever birthday cake" Eddie said as he handed Patricia a plate with a slice of her birthday cake on it. Patricia then hopped off of the kitchen counter and made her way into the living room, with her plate in her hand and Eddie following her.
"So when are your parents due home?" Eddie asked as the two took a seat on the couch and Patricia even rested her feet on his lap.
"Not until after we go back to Anubis so you're staying here for the rest of the school holidays" Patricia told him. "But we both know that was your plan anyway" she smiled, causing Eddie to smirk back.
"It wasn't my plan if your parents were here" he replied.
"Yeh, cause you're scared they would murder you" Patricia teased.
"Anyway I think it's time for your birthday present" Eddie then said, changing the current conversation as he pulled a small wrapped up box out of his backpack.
"You got me a present, why?" Patricia asked as she was finding it rather unusual that someone for once was actually taking an interest in her birthday.
"Because you're my girlfriend, it's your birthday and I wanted to get you a present" Eddie replied.
"Hmm okay, let's just get this over with I don't like opening presents in front of people" she told him.
"Why's that?" he asked.
"Everyone always gets me really stupid girly stuff then I have to pretend to like it else my parents just shout at me" she moaned.
"Well your parents aren't here to shout so you don't have to pretend to like it" Eddie told her.
"Have you got me something girly?" Patricia then asked.
"Just open it and find out" he told her.
Patricia then did what she was told and for once she loved a girly gift. Well it wasn't really girly; it was a plain, unique and simple locket that caught her eye last term at Anubis house when Joy forced her to read some magazine. Patricia couldn't believe that Eddie had brought it for her because let's just say it wasn't cheap and the price was the whole reason why Patricia hadn't brought it for herself. Eddie had even had the locket engraved; saying E+P which must have cost him a whole lot more.
"Eddie it's beautiful" Patricia breathed as she gazed at the locket in her hands. "Do you have any idea how much this locket was?" she then asked.
"Yes, I did buy it" he chuckled.
"You didn't have to spend so much on me" Patricia told him.
"You're worth it" Eddie replied as he took the locket out of her hands, placing it around her neck. "It looks perfect" he then whispered in her ear.
"Thank you" she smiled before placing her arms around his neck and kissing him. It didn't take long for Eddie to wrap his arms around her waist and kiss her back.
Pretty soon the clock read 11:59pm "happy birthday Yacker" Eddie murmured against Patricia's lips and a minute later her birthday was over. Thanks to Eddie, Patricia was looking forward to her next birthday.
