Chapter 63

Ari P.O.V

"Kitten, wake up." I heard Victor say, and I felt him shake my shoulder, gently.

"Five more minutes." I grumbled. I had had that dream again. I wanted to go back to it, and see the little boy.

"Kitten, wake up. It's your birthday." He said.

"Don't care." I said. It had been several weeks since I had felt well enough to have sex with Victor, and if it was my birthday, it meant two things. One, the exams were starting in a couple of days, and two, Victor would be leaving soon. He said that Magneto had a job for him to do.

"Come on kitten, at least you don't have to go to school."

"Then let me sleep in." I groaned.

I felt him move and knew he had stood up. I curled back up, only to have the duvet covers pulled off me. I moaned, and opened my eyes to see Victor standing at the edge of the bed, with the covers.

"Now, are you going to wake up, or do I have to go further?" He asked.

I just closed my eyes and tried to go back to sleep. I heard him sigh, before I was picked up, out of bed. My eyes snapped open, and I saw that Victor was carrying me out of my bedroom. He carried me into the bathroom and dumped me in the shower, and turned it on. The water that hit me was freezing! I let out a shriek, and woke up fully.

I turned the heat up, and glared at him. Victor chuckled, and took of the jeans he had been wearing, before he joined me. Half an hour later we both ventured downstairs.

Ma was there with Zoe, James and Autumn. I smiled, as Autumn launched out of her seat, and ran at me. I caught her, and span her round, laughing with her.

"Happy Birthday, Auntie Ari!" She said happily.

"Thanks, squirt."

"Am not a squirt!" She said, and pretended to pout.

"To me you are." I said, before I kissed her on the fore head, and placed her back down. I was hugged by my mam, sister and brother in law, before being sat down, given a cup of tea, and handed presents. Ma had given me a purple strapless dress, and a pair of black boots, which I planned to wear tonight. She'd also bought me a charm for my Italian charm bracelet which had a picture of a white tiger on it and a pair of silver stud earrings that were in the shape of cats. I loved all of them. Off Zoe, James and Autumn, I had chocolate, several books and a Bullet For My Valentine CD. Dad had sent me a few films, a Linken Park C.D and a Lordi CD as well as a Celtic knot bracelet. Vic gave me two charms for my bracelet as well, with the word forever written on one and a green four leaf clover with good luck on the other. He'd also bought me a DVD and a couple of books. People knew exactly what to get me. Damn, I was predictable.

Lena jumped up on my lap as I was going through the books, looking at the synopsis for each one. The one that grabbed me the most was the 'Night World' series. I really liked the ideas. We went out for lunch. We would have gone out for dinner, but my friends and I were going on a pub crawl. There were four within walking distance of my place, so Cari, Faith, Mark, Paddy, Victor and I were going for several drinks in each. At half six, I changed into my new dress, and boots. I was already wearing the bracelet and earrings and my charms had been added to my other bracelet which I was also wearing.

Victor and I walked out of the house, and towards the first pub, where we were going to meet the others. I was swamped in hugs when we got there.

"She's finally caught up!" I heard Mark yell. "Eighteen today!" I rolled my eyes as I was dragged to a table. We got in the first round of drinks and I was once again given gifts. They had all gotten me either a note pad or a fountain pen each, and had chipped in to buy me a bracelet that had the word Sister engraved on it. I hugged each of them.

"Zoe also chipped in. So it's also off her." Cari explained.

"Thanks guys." I said, sticking the bracelet on. I was happy with what they bought me. I went through both pens and notebooks at an alarming rate. Now I had two new notebooks and two new pens. After we had about two rounds, I noticed that the technicians were struggling to get something to work.

Paddy had also noticed, and suddenly, the fault was fixed. He grinned, and I dragged Vic up to dance, with the other people who were already on the floor.

That night, we all walked back to mams house, and when we got there, we crashed on the sofas, me leaning on Vic, Cari leaning on me, and Faith leaning on Cari, and Mark and Paddy leaning on each other.
