Jan was sitting on the couch, watching tv when she heard someone knocking on her door. Today was her birthday and she knew Putzie was coming over, he had told her at the Drive-In last night. She rushed to the door and saw Putzie standing there with his always adorable smile that always made her happy.
He held out his arms and she hugged him,"Happy birthday Sweetie! I love you so much!" He kissed her head and they walked inside the house and sat down on the couch. "I've got your present, but you gotta close your eyes ok."
"Alright," Jan replied.
Putzie pulled a silver heart locket from his pocket. He opened it to make sure the picute looked perfect in it. It was the same picture Jan had gotten him for his birthday. He read the engraving on the outside of the locket, My heart belongs to you -Love, Putzie. He placed the locket in a bag he had filled with oreos, twinkies, and little beanie baby stuffed animals.
"Ok, open your eyes." Jan opened her eyes and picked up the bag. Her face lit up as soon as she looked into the bag. It was three of her favorite things, she pulled everything out one at a time. Then she pulled out the locket.
"Putize," her eyes started to water looking at it,"I love it!"
"Come here, I'll put it on you." She stood up and then sat down on Putzie's lap. He clipped the locket on to her and hugged her tightly.
"There's something else, but I gotta take you to your room to show you."
"What?" Jan was really confused, how did he get something into her room.
"Just trust me."
They went upstairs to Jan's room. The night before Putzie had climbed the tree next to Jan's window and placed a bag there. The bag was full of notes. Every note was in an envelope and they all said something like, when you're sad, or when you miss me.
There were 53 notes in all, all for different occasions. He gave them to Jan and she cried, she opened the one that said when you're happy, the card read:
So you're happy, that's always good. I wrote this cards cause I always wanna be able to help you, and I don't always get to see you to help you, these cards can help if I'm gone or you didn't see me after the bad thing happened. I love you, never forget that. I gave you that locket cause you're the only girl that has ever made me feel special. You're perfect! I love you to the moon and back again.
Stay happy -Putzie
She started laughing and crying at the same time,"You're so sweet! I love you to the moon and back too!" She said as she hugged him. He picked her up and spun her around. They kissed and then Putzie carried her back downstairs.
"Putzie, can we just snuggle on the couch and talk all day?" Jan asked.
"I would love that," he answered.
He laid down on the couch and Jan laid next to him. Putzie had laid down with his head leaning up on the arm rest, Jan with her head on his chest.
She hugged his torso,"Best birthday ever. I love you!" He kissed her head and stroked her hair
"I love you too."
"Putzie, can I ask you a really weird question that you may not know the answer to?"
"Ask me anything." He was still stroking her hair.
"Are we still gonna be boyrfriend and girlfriend after we graduate?"
"Jan, I love you, of course we are! I would never leave a perfect girl."
"Ok, good. I love you too."
They kissed a few times and then started just cuddling again. They cuddled the whole day and barely talked. The next time they talked was right before Jan fell asleep.
"Tired?" Jan had yawned 5 times in the last 7 minutes so Putzie knew she would probably crash soon.
"Mmhmm." Was her reply.
"Happy birthday," he said kissing her head,"I love you sweetie."
"I love you too," she mumbled,"Good night."
"Night Princess."
He looked at Jan, she was so cute, she was also his. He smiled at the way she was holding on to her locket, he pulled her closer and fell asleep.
