Beep, beep, BEEEEEEP. I groaned and groggily got up and switched my alarm off. I forget to turn it off last night. It was finally the weekend, and my birthday. I got up and realized I was still in my pj's. I really didn't care today though. I went downstairs and was greeted by my parents holding a cake. "Happy 18th Birthday Sweetie!" They cheered and I blew out the candles. "Thanks." I said and smiled. I made my way into the kitchen which smelled like omlets. My favorite breakfast. I grabbed an omlet off the stove, sat down at the breakfast bar and switched on the flat screen in my kitchen. I was halfway done with breakfast when my phone vibrated with a text, that scared me half to death.

I slid it up then looked at the screen, Sav. I couldn't help but smile. I read the text that said, "happy birthday babe. ill be at ur party tonight and since it's tonite ill be taking you out tmrrw. no questions asked ;). I laughed and replied with a "thanks(: and haha okayy." I finished breakfast and went upstairs to get changed. Chantay and I were going to the mall to get dresses for my party. I was also getting my hair,make-up, and nails professionaly done.

We were roaming around the mall when I looked quick into the window at DEB'S and saw the perfect dress. "C'mon!" I grabbed Chantay and went in to look for the dress. I finally found it in my size and went to try it on. It was thin-strapped,went straight across my chest, it was black and had a silver strap across the wasit and was mid-thigh length. I came out of the dressing room to get Chantay's opinion. "So?" I said twirling around to give her a full view of it. "Absouletly goregous!" She told me,smiling. "Thanks, I'm definatley getting it." I told her and went back to the dressing room to change. I came back out and bought the dress.

An hour later I was in the hair salon getting my hair done. I was getting it half up, half down. The part that was up was in a diamond (fake obviously) barrette, and the down part was starightend. About an hour later it was perfect. "Thanks so much Sherry!" I said hugging my stylist. It was my mom's best friend and she was an awesome hair dresser. I went over to the make-up section. I got sparkley white eye shadow that look silver when it was on my eyes to it matched my dress, then some light blush, clear lip gloss, mascara, and eye liner. Pretty, but natural.

After that I got my nails done, just a french manicure but with acrylic nails. I looked in the full length mirror in my room and for the first time in awhile, I felt beautiful. I was ready to make my entrance. Everyone was already outside in my backyard, partying it up. I was right in the mud room which was right by the backyard, when I heard the DJ we hired for the party go on the loudspeaker.

"Okay everyone, I know your having fun but now we have the birthday girl herself, Anya!" He said and pointed to the door I was coming out of.

I gracefully walked out and stopped while everyone was admiring my dress. I smiled then everyone went back to the party. I made sure to go around and greet everyone. I made sure Sav was last.

"Hey! I said sneaking up on him.

"Hey, you look amazing." He said and gave me a peck on the lips.

"Thanks." I said and hugged him. Just then the DJ came on the speakers again.

"Okay sorry to interrupt again but I need to know, does this birthday girl have a special someone?" He asked and everyone screamed yes. I giggled to how he said special someone. "Then, let them have this dance." He said and put on a slow song.

I smiled and Sav grabbed my hand, leading to the middle of the dance floor. My arms rested around his neck while his were on my waist. We danced slow, following the beat of the song. After awhile, everyone joined in dancing with the opposite gender. [AN: Sorry that was really lame "opposite gender." but I honestly didn't know how else to say it haha :P]

I smiled up at Sav. "This is amazing." I told him and rested my head on his shoulder. "I know." He replied and even though I couldn't see him, I heard the smile in his voice. "So, what exactly do you have planned for tomorrow?" I asked him , lifting my head up. "Oh you'll see." He smirked and I rolled my eyes playfully. "I hate suprises." I said and laughed. "Well then this make it even more fun." He smirked again and kissed me. I wish I could make this moment last forever, it was PERFECT. I couldn't ask for a better birthday.
That was until my mom came over breaking up the kiss. "Anya, me and your father have a suprise for you!" She said and smiled wide. They put a blindfold on and led me somewhere. I couldn't see but it felt like the garage. They pulled it off and my eyes adjusted to the darkness. Then I saw a BRAND NEW SILVER BMW! "Oh my god!" I screamed and hugged my parents. "Thank you so much!" I said and kissed them both. "You're welcome honey. We thought you deserved it." I smiled and looked at the car. It was mine, all mine.

We went back into the backyard and my party continued. Around 10pm everyone left, except Sav. "Come talk a walk with me. I need to give you something that can't wait until tomorrow." He smiled and I told my parents I'd be back in half an hour and left with Sav.

We walked to me and Sav's "spot" which was the bench in the nature path. "So what did you want to give me?" I asked him. "This." He reached inside his suit to the inside pocket and took out an wrapped box that fit perfecty inside my palm. "Open it." He said and smiled. I opened it to reveal a locket on a chain along with a mini key. The locket had a key hole. "You actually have to use the key to open the locket. Unlock it." He said, flashing my favorite smile of his. I unlocked it to see the picture that we took here a few days ago. "Sav, I love it!" I hugged him and gave him a passionate kiss. "That's not all, look at the back." I flipped it over and it was engraved it said: Forever & Always-Sav & Anya.

I was literally speechless. It was the sweetest and most romantic gift he had ever gotten me. "Do you like it?" He asked nervously because of my quietness. I didn't answer him, instead I gave him the most passionate kiss I have ever given him and pulled back. "Does that answer your question?" I smiled wide. "Yeah, and I'm guessing it's a yes? If not then you certainly have a weird way of showing you hate it." He smiled and chuckled and I hugged him.

We just sat there hugging for the longest time. "I better get you home before your parents start to worry." Sav said getting up. "Yeah, that would be a good idea." I said and giggled.

After I as home and inside I sat down on my bed and just stared at the picture in the locket. I sighed happily and thought about my party. It was amazing, ecspecially when I was with Sav. When I was with him...I don't know everything just felt so...so complete! Cliche, I know but it was true. I was thinkign about what Sav had planned for tomorrow. I didn't need anything else. Him and the necklace were all I needed. I fell asleep clutching the locket in my hand.

*Next day!*

I woke around 10am to my phone ringing.

"Hello?" I answered noticing my voice was cracked so I coughed. I also hadn't checked the caller i.d

"Good morning gorgeous." I heard Sav's voice and automatically sat up in my bed.

"Say that while you can't see me. I'm not so gorgeous in the morning." I said and laughed while I looked in the mirror at my hair that was going everywhere.

"I'm sure you are, when aren't you?" I heard the smile in his voice and I blushed even though he couldn't see me.

"Thanks Sav. Anyways what's up?" I asked him getting clothes ready.

"Okay well your special day-after-your-birthday day starts at 1, so be ready." Again I heard the smile in his voice which made me smile.

"Okay I'll see you then, love you, byee." I said and hung up. I put a pair of short denima jeans on along with a purple v-neck tank top with a white caridgan. I slipped on some white heeled flip flops. I carefully put the locket around my neck and stared at it in the mirror. It was perfect.

Just the the doorbell snapped me out of my daze. I took one last look in the mirror, smiled at my appearance and went downstairs to get the door. Usually my parents would have gotten it but they both had to work. I answered the door and smiled seeing it was Sav. "Hey." He said greeting me with a kiss. You'd think after a year the sparks would have gone away but I still get butterflies everytime he kisses me.

"So where are we going?" I asked him, pretty sure he wouldn't tell me where.

"You'll see." He was so predictable. I giggled.

"Of course." He opened the door to his car for me and I got in. We drove for about 40 minutes until we arrived at the closest beach to us.

He opened the door for me again and led me to a spot that seemed really familar to me. "Remember this place?" He asked me as we stood there. Then it dawned on me.

"Our first date." A smile broke out on my face. It was the most romantic spot he ever took me. It was the place where he orignally asked me to be his girlfriend. We walked a little past that place and I saw a table with two chairs and a meal already set on it.

"How romantic." I said and smiled. He laughed and pulled the chair out for me. "When did you become such a gentleman?" I said sitting down and giggled.

"I always have been." He said and we both laughed. "I have another present for you." He said handing me a box, this one was a little longer.

"Sav, this lunch and neckalce were more then enough." I said smiling. "Just open it, please?" He said and smiled, once again my favorite smile of his. "Okay, fine." I said I opened the box and there was a charm braclet with really cute love quotes on the charms. I looked at each charm, most of them had cute quotes, one had the date we got together, and one was a picture from the prom. "Sav, this is amazing." I kissed him.

"Just like you." he smiled and kissed me back.

I just smiled and looked over the braclet again. "If anyone's amazing, it's you. You are just the sweetest boyfriend ever." I said and kissed him again.

When we finished eating we walked along the beach, holding hands. Our fingers were intwined and they fit together perfectly.

"Don't kill me but...I have one more thing for you." He said and smiled. "Sav, this is too much." I said, but he ignored me and handed me an envelope. I opened it and it was a just a card, which made me smile. "This was all I wanted." I said and kissed him.

About an hour later we went back to my house, it was around 5pm. "I had an amazing day, Sav. Thank you. For EVERYTHING." I said and gave him a passionate kiss. "I love you." I said looking into his eyes.

"I love you too." He smiled and looked into my eyes.

Those four words, gave me butterflies all over again.
