APOV

Its been a week since the gala and I'm glad I managed to get over my nerves to sing the whole set. I was surprised when Christian started to play the piano and sing but I have to say, singing the duet at the end was the best way to end. I would never have imagined Christian doing something like that but him doing it for me just makes me fall even deeper in love with him. Next week is his birthday and I'm not sure what to get him, I know he asked his parents for a dog but I don't know what to get him.

You would think shopping for ones boyfriend would be a simple task but its not because I want him to love the gift not because it was from me. I'm at the mall with my mom and Kate, getting a few things that we need then we are going to go into a jewellery store. I know my parents anniversary is coming up next month so I think mom is looking for something to get dad. Once we walk in to the jewellery store Kate goes to look at the charms that they have as she has a few space left on the charm bracelet she had for christmas a few years ago. I follow mom looking around and see what the perfect gift for Christian. I ask the sales assistant the price if I have something engraved on to it. Its not that bad just $250 with the engraving, so after I write down the message and pay I'm told to come back in at the end of the week and it will be ready.

That's good as Christians birthday is Wednesday next week, I hope he likes what I've picked out, I'm giving him another gift of couple coupons. The idea is cheesy but I don't care I know that we will both be getting busy soon with exams and I don't want Christian to feel like I'm not there for him. So if he does feel that way he can cash in a coupon and I'll make time for what he picked, I made sure there aren't any sexual ones as we haven't done anything sexual yet. Mom finds the prefect gift for dad, watch with matching cuff links and tie pin, they have a golf theme to them. Its sweet how mom knows dad so well as he is going to love his gift. Kate didn't find a charms she liked so we leave the mall and head home.

After having lunch I go next door and go find Christian, him and Elliot are playing on the xbox playing some game which one I'm not sure but they are laughing at something. Not wanting to ruin their bonding I go and find Grace in the kitchen as she is baking what looks like her home made cookies. Once she places the tray on the counter top and closes the oven I great her. "Hi Grace are those your cookies?" I ask walking over to the counter.

"Hello Ana, yes they are I'm just waiting for them to cool down now the rest of the batch I made are already cooled" she replies smiling at me.

"Do you think made one day soon you will share the recipe with me?" I ask giving her my best puppy dog eyes. This is the one recipe Grace says she will not share until we are all grown up and out of the house.

"Oh sweet heart you know I love baking and will tell you any recipe but this one stays will me a little longer" she say giggling softly shaking her head.

"I knew it was a long shot but hey can't blame a girl for trying can you" I reply giggling myself.

"I found the perfect gift for Christian today" I say "can I ask are you going to get him a dog ?"

She turns to me "I know if I told you, you wouldn't tell him but Carrick and I are still discussing it don't worry we will have our decision before his birthday" she smiles and gives me a quick hug before going back to the cookies.

"Mom are you baking cookies?!" I giggle hearing both Christian and Elliot shout the same question at the same time. Grace hands me a plate "I knew it wouldn't be long before they knew will you take them this plate for me darling, if they come in here for some they will try to take all of them to eat themselves"

I take the plate "of course I don't mind I know what they are like when it comes to your cookies and to be honest I'd do the same, they are just so addictive and too good to miss out on" I kiss her cheek and make me way to the boys. I sit between them on the floor placing the plate in front of me, I rest my head on Christian's shoulder just happy to be with him.

"Hey Ana when did you get here?" Elliot asks as he stuffs a cookie into his mouth.

"Oh about 10 minutes ago I saw you two were busy so I went to talk to your mom" I answer feeling Christian kiss the top of my head putting his arms around me. The game gets paused as Elliot says he needs to use the bathroom. Christian pulls me closer to him wrapping both arms around me giving me a chase kiss on the lips rubbing his nose against mine.

"Hi I missed you baby" he says holding me a little tighter

"I missed you too" I give him a chase kiss and sigh happy to be in his arms where I feel the safest.

"How was shopping with your mom and Kate?" He asks pulling me to sit in between his legs

"It was good got everything we needed even though it took longer than I would have liked you know how Kate is when it comes to shopping" I giggle leaning my back against his chest.

"What have you been doing today? Apart from getting your ass handed to you on this game by Elliot?" I ask giggling as I look at the score on the TV. Next thing I know I'm laying flat on my back with Christian straddling me tickling me

"Want to say that again? Huh ?" He says laughing

I'm laughing so hard wriggling around trying to get away but its useless "o...ok I...I'm so...sorry...stop...please" I ask through my laughter trying to push his hands off of me. He finally stops but doesn't get up off of me, he puts his hands on the floor either side of my head. He leans down rubbing his nose against mine "I love your giggle, its the best sound in the world"

I blush hard looking deep into his eyes, tilting my chin up to kiss him softly. Once our lips connect our kiss starts off soft and slow but it quickly becomes hard and passionate. Wrapping my arms around his neck I pull him closer to me, but for that to work he lays down on top of me one hand on the back of my neck the other one on my hip holding me close.

Moaning as I feel his full weight on top of me, his tongue licks my lips asking permission which I gladly grant. We pull apart both needing to breath, staring into each others eyes smiling at each other.

"You might want to move guys the parents are coming this way" we hear Elliot say, as quickly as we can we sit up next to each other, Christian wrapping his arms around me. Our parents are ok with us dating but the said they don't want grandchildren yet. So to be respectful to them we have tried to keep our PDA's around them to a minimum. We haven't done anything sexual yet but I know I'm not ready yet I mean I'm 14 turning 15 this year I'm not ready for sex, but one thing I do know and that is that Christian is the only guy I want sexual. He will be my first and my last.

Tomorrow is my birthday and no matter how hard I try I can't find out want anyone has gotten me. I've tired catching people off guard but still no luck. I know it was a long shot asking my parents for a dog but if they say no then its ok I will just wait until I have a place of my own to get myself a dog.

I'm not a spoilt kid so I won't kick off if they decide now isn't the best time for me to have one. My parents said I'm having a family dinner on my birthday and on the weekend they have planned my party. They didn't want us all up late on a school night and this way we don't have to cut it short. I know the Ana has been helping my mom plan the party so I know I'm in safe hands. She has listened to what my ideal party would be, basically I want it to look like a night club and have the feel of a night club. Of course there won't be alcohol but that's fine with me, I remember the hang overs I used to have and that is something I don't want to experience ever again.

Sitting around the dining table with my family I can't help but smile, I've grown closer to my family and I don't feel like I am not worthy of them. Its a wonderful feeling and one that I would do anything to have for the rest of my life. I know I want to be with Ana, I want her as my wife but children I'm not sure about. I mean if I was going to have any Ana would be the only person I would have them with. Even though I have a wonderful loving family I'm not sure if I would be a good father.

Its not something I have to think about yet. I know Ana and I haven't done anything sexual and I'm ok with that just knowing that she loves me is enough. I don't want to pressure her at all I want to make our first time special for her.

I go to bed that night after watching a movie with Elliot, laying in bed I try to think how I'm going to cope when the time comes for me to go to college. Its not something I saw myself doing but I know if I want to be taken seriously when I start my own business then a college degree will help that. But how will I cope not being able to see Ana or my family when ever I want. Knowing I'll work something out I fall asleep knowing no matter what I will always have the love and support of everyone close to me.

I wake up the next morning and rush to shower and get dressed. I have rowing practise first thing at school and coach likes us to be on time. I head down stairs to grab breakfast and as soon as I walk into the kitchen and sit down my mother comes over giving me a tight hug "happy birthday my darling boy" I hug her back knowing no matter how old I get this will always be the way she greets me on my birthday. "Thanks mom" I say when she pulls back.

I eat my breakfast and hear the door bell go, mom says she will go answer it and to finish eating. I can't hear any voices but I do hear foot steps heading towards the kitchen. I place my plate and glass in to the sink, turning around I see my parents stood in the doorway of the kitchen smiling at me "happy birthday son" my dad says smiling widely at me "thanks dad"

My parents look at each other then back to me "well you know you get your birthday gift first thing in the morning but with rowing you have to leave soon, we were wondering if you wanted your gift now or after school?"

Now no matter how old you get when your parents say that to you then the only answer you can say is "can I have it now please"

My parents look at each other laughing slightly "ok son here you go"
