I WAS IN the most deepest slumber I have ever experienced before a hand rocketed my shoulder.

I really did not want to get up and see the world right now. I just wanted to sleep. For a long time.

The hand shook my back again making me contemplate cutting it or stuffing it down the owners throat. I could do both too no doubt.

"Come on." Aaron whined. "Wake up West."

I grumbled some incoherent slurs into the wake of morning and continued to shut my eyes. I felt him straddle my back making me frown.

"What do you want?" I demanded pressing the right side of my face to the wonderfully cold pillow.

"Damn that's a turn seeming it's your birthday." He chuckled. "Happy birthday West."

"Okay thanks." I quickly put out and turned to sleep again. It was my birthday.

Woohoo.

The excitement is literally pouring out of me like confetti.

"West." He presses his face on my shoulder and lays down. I could feel his legs tangle over mine and hover in the air as they were too long at this angle of the bed. "It's your big day. It's your fucking birthday."

"For real?" I deigned shock. "Must've slipped my mind."

He huffs and bites my shoulder softly. I turned with a great effort so he was now on top of me and I under. I was still in my dress while he was in nothing but boxers.

It made listening to him very hard as his gorgeous body was on sight.

"Thank you." I smile placing my hands on his back.

"You're fucking eighteen now. You now what that means?"

"What?"

"We can get married in Vegas legally." I burst out laughing as he grinned down at me. "Is that really funny?" He was still smiling when he asked that question.

I shook my head biting down an explosive smile. "Not at all." I get up on my elbows as he moved back, his thighs on either side of my hips as he gazed down at me with a gritted jaw.

I followed his line of sight and blushed uncomfortably. The neckline of this dress was shifted awkwardly so a good portion of my breasts were visible here.

My hand moved on it's own accord to cover myself up but Aaron grabbed my wrist and stopped me. I looked up to see a muscle feather in his jaw.

"Let me worship you today." He said, his cold blue eyes staring at me intently.

Not knowing how to answer to that I only gave him a nod. An answer of yes.

"Say it." He breathed. "Say you want me."

My heart kicked up and I spoke, "I want you Aaron."

"Fuck." He took both of my wrists in one hand and pinned them over my head. I was splayed across the mattress as he parted my legs with his knee coming closer.

Aaron's eyes raked me in slowly before he reached down to the neckline of the gold dress and and pushed the thin fabric wider allowing my breasts to become expose.

The cold air hit me making me shiver as goosebumps travelled the entirety of my body making my skin tighten.

He pulls the material off my shoulder quickly and runs his thumb over my nipple making me gasp as he palms it.

"Aaron." I gasp my back arching as he placed kisses on my neck.

He made a sound in the hollow of my throat and moved his lips on my breasts kissing them both, leaving wet trails all the way to the sensitive spot at my inner thigh.

I clenched them together only for him to hold them back as he ran his tongue along my skin making my breath come out ragged. I wanted him so bad.

"I love every inch of you." He murmured running his hand that had my wrist locked over my chest, ass and gripped the back of my thigh. "Every inch." He repeated placing a finger on the top of my underwear and bringing it down.

I kicked it off and shifted on the bed so he could have better access as my hands ran over his pack.

He shuddered as he grabbed my thighs and pulled me closer earning a shortage of breath from me. My back was on his knees as my ass was in the air whilst the back of my knees were hooked on his shoulders.

I felt my body react at his touch as he traced a finger down my wet centre plunging a finger in. Then another.

I moaned out loud as he broke into a rhythm working me with his finger making an euphoria exist between just the two of us.

I scrunched the bedsheets harder in my fists as my eyes rolled back. "Aaron. Aaron." I groaned as he kissed my thighs.

"I know." He mumbled against my thigh removing himself from me and taking off his boxers. I watched his lower body leisurely the whole of him ready and hard.

I reached to touch him and watched his cock twitch in my hand.

"God West." He breathed clenching his jaw towards the ceiling. Aaron looked down and moved to me. I pushed back against the bed widening my legs as he came in between and adjusted himself. I gripped his shoulders tightly as he pushed into me making a thrumming pain ignite.

It was there with every push until it turned to pleasure. I panted against his chest as he slammed harder giving his all to me.

"I love you." I breathed against his neck.

He kissed me as a response and pulled me to his lap while we were still connected. "I love you too West." A knot built in my stomach and I released with him shakily.

We were messy and perfect and we exceeded every expectation I held of us. Aaron and I were all that we needed.

...

"Hey, hey, birthday girl." Jordan walked to me crushing me in a hug. "Finally at the legal age. What's your plan? Drugs, vandalism, stripping?"

I laughed and hugged him back tightly. "Nothing yet. But if I get any ideas I'm sure you all will know."

"Happy birthday!" Sersha jumped on my back and gripped me tightly. "My baby is eighteen and growing."

"Thank you." I squeezed her back and look around the living room that was decorated with streamers, confetti and all sorts of glittering decoration.

At the centre was a white table holding a large cake and bunch of presents. I gaped at in shock not believing this was for me.

"Wow." I whispered looking around at all my grinning friends. "Thank you so much. This is all amazing."

"You are amazing." Owen smiled. "This is all because of you."

"Happy birthday Bryce. I'm glad I know you." Reuben came forth with a parcel in his hand. "A little something for you."

I unwrapped the parchment paper and saw a brown antique book with a lavender dried plant strapped to it. I flipped through it to see each page filled with words.

"They're poems I got inspired to write by you," He explained. "And the sparrows but all of that happened after we met you." I smiled some at it and then at him.

"It's beautiful Reub." I hugged him tightly and pulled back.

Sersha came next and handed me a large rectangular package. I thanked her and opened it up to see a portrait of Aaron and I. I was on his back laughing with him as we stood next to a large autumn tree with a sparkling lake behind us.

It was so stunning it actually felt like a dream.

I traced the figures in awe. "Sersha this- this is extraordinary."

She grinned at me tucking a strand of her red hair behind her ear. "I'm glad you love it. Happy eighteen."

I turned to show it to Aaron who looked at it warmly. "It's fantastic." He murmured kissing my temple.

"My turn." Madison stepped forward with a neon orange parcel. I took it and ripped the package away to reveal a whole set of Chanel and Gucci perfumes, A Natasha Denona palette and jewellery.

"Maddie." I grin. "I fucking love this. Thank you."

"I knew you would." She chuckled hugging me. "It's not everyday that mama turns eighteen now is it?"

"Cut the bullshit. Here's my present. It from Olivia and I." Owen brought a parcel. I exposed the content of it and grinned at the Pandora bracelets and necklaces. One of them had a small bird at the bottom whilst others were filled with charms. "Like it?"

"Love it." I sling an arm around him and hug him tightly. "Thanks Owen."

Jordan stepped forward and handed me another package. I looked inside the box and beamed at the framed collage of all of us and some of Jordan and I when we were younger. "Jordan this is lovely."

He rolled his eyes and said, "You're welcome." We all gathered around the couch and I looked at Aaron who was not here.

I wondered what he got me. Or if he did. I mean the piano was pretty damn expensive.

"Did you forget us?" I turned to the voice to see Catherine and Louis crossing their arms at me. I jumped off the couch and chuckled.

"Yes." I confessed.

Catherine scoffed while Louis bit her lip. "Look out the window." I confusedly did and screamed out loud.

"What the fuck?" I shouted running through the doors and nearly skidding across the asphalt as my bare feet made contact with the snow.

I could care less.

Not when a Buggati La Voiture Noire- the same one as Aaron's- was standing there in its prized form.

I ran my hand against the sleek hood, my heart instantly increasing.

Everybody laughed at my reaction behind me as I drank my new love in.

"Happy birthday!" They all shouted.

And fucking hell was it one.

...

"A third? I'm stuffed." I shook my hand as Catherine brought me another piece.

She chuckled and returned it as we all watched Me before You. God I loved this movie but it crushed my heart like a bitch.

"I still have my present to give." Aaron whispered in my ear.

"You don't have to-"

"Shut up. You are getting one whether you like it or not." He pulled my hand up and led me away from the scene and up the stairs.

I followed him up with a smile growing on my face as went through the same hallways to the last room. He stopped turning to me and grinning in the shadows.

"Now it's not ready since you don't live here or at the academy but..." Aaron pushed the door open and I thought I was going to faint.

The reality of this was like a dream. A fucking dream.

I thought I was going to wake up but no.

"Aaron..." I gasped placing a hand on my mouth in shock. "Oh my god."

"I checked your notes and bought every single one you wrote down. Then I went on a website that showed substitutes of the ones you loved too." I look at the countless stacks of books he had bought. Every single ones I wanted and the ones I loved.

From fantasy to contemporaries to dark romances to everything. He got me everything.

The stack was so large it hit the ceiling. I think he bought the entirety of a library or something because this was huge.

"I got a ladder that you wanted. And some plants and decor to decorate these bookshelves that will be built in. I hope you love it." I turned to him so fast and wrapped my legs around him.

Mouth crashes against his showing every ounce of love I had for him. I loved him soo much.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you." I repeated the mantra into his mouth. He smiled against my mouth.

"Goal achieved?"

"Fucking overachieved." I laughed and turned around to see the whole thing. "I may just marry you right now."

He smirked at my as his hands rested on my hips. "I might take you up on that." I laughed and kissed him again savouring him.

I love him way too much to be able to explain that in one life.

A million lives would not make up for it either.

I needed an eternity to start with.

...

"Nobody can love you like I can, can, can." I sang with Madison. "Woah!" I stumbled against the steps my drinking sloshing onto me.

"Damnnn," Madison hiccuped. "I wanna twerk like a spider."

I chuckled staring at the sky. "I wanna fly." I brought the vodka bottle to my lips and chugged another long drag. "Do you have a molly on you?"

"I think so." She swayed. "In my purse."

I waddled to her purse abs tossed the content out searching for the purple bottle.

Purple? That's cool.

I took it in my hands and grinned like and idiot before grabbing out two.

I spun into a body and laughed apologising. "West?"

"Yes?" I looked up to see Aaron. Wow he was tall. Taller then me.

"Do you have drugs in your hands?" His voice sounded strained as he stared at them longingly.

"Yeah." I held them up with a sloppy grin. "Want one?"

"I- uh-" He reached for them and shook his head. "No. No. I promised you I wouldn't. If I take one I'll get addicted."

"Oh." I pouted staring down at them. I have took another swing of the bottle and brought the drug to my lips before he snatched it away and tossed it at the bin. "Hey!" I shouted. "What the fuck, mate?"

Aaron looked at me with a tight smile. "You can't have drugs and alcohol together. It can kill you. I need you alive everyday, alright?" I licked my lips and sighed nodding.

"Alright." I turned to Madison who was humping a broom stick. I wondered where everybody else went.

"Come on." Aaron guided me forward catching me several times. I put my hand on Madison's back to stabilise myself and heard her hiss.

"What's wrong?"

"Sunburn." She choked touching her shoulder. I stared at it confusedly at shaped my mouth into an 'O' when I saw the mark.

"Sorry." I piped.

Aaron squeezed my hand and said, "How'd you get that?"

"Maldives." She smiled.

"But you were at your parents in Cali for Christmas?"

"They had a fight so Mom took me there." She shrugged. Aaron gave her a sad look and dragged me towards the rest of us fallen on the couch.

"Aaron?"

"Yeah?" He pulled me onto his lap as I looked at his cold eyes.

"You've got really pretty eyes." I whisper.

"So do you." Aaron tucks a piece of hair behind my hair and smiles at me. I shuffle off his lap and rest my back on his knees and place my legs on the top of the couch.

"I see a lot of pretty eyes. Archer has green eyes, Dad had blue eyes and Grandma has hazel ones. I have boring brown ones." I always wanted this eyes that sparkled under the sun and made you look beautiful.

It took such a hard time to love myself. Especially my face and body. I was always so sensitive about it. From the age of fourteen and below I always was overweight and chubbier then everyone in my class. I was so depressed to the point I gave up food for a good month and exercise  on and off for years until at sixteen I went full on mode. I convinced myself that the only way I would not cry looking at my reflection is to change myself.

I used all sorts of beauty products and clothing styles to change me.

Only later did I realise how beautiful everyone was. Every feature of a person was so special. I wish I had realised that advice when I was younger.

I guess the saying still stays tattooed at my heart: Treat people with kindness.

"I think you have the best colour eyes out of all the people I have met. My favourite colour are your eyes." He ran his hands through my hair, braiding a few strands.

"Do you know when Grandma will come over?"

"I don't know... You're mother hasn't said anything. I think Amelia and Jake are pretty tight on that topic."

"Mhm." I hum fixing the hem of my pink sweater. "I think they feel uncomfortable because of her. I don't know why though. Grandma is awesome. She's basically me but fifty plus years older." I laugh remembering her face.

"I can't wait to meet her." Aaron smiles. "My grandparents died when I was younger. I don't really remember anything about them. We weren't close anyway. So it's mostly whatever."

"That's sad. I guess I'm lucky to have a down to Earth one, huh? A lot of people have boring ones."

"Yeah."

Sersha landed on my feet making me wince. She shuffled back looking at me half-drunk. "I want to be loved."

"Then go be loved." Aaron shooed her.

"I want to be loved by Reuben."

"Aren't you guys already...?" I crossed my fingers to emphasise the question.

Sersha blew out her lips frustratedly. "I thought so. But then he called me a 'friend' last night. Like hello? Do you love me or not?"

"Ask him? Confront him. Pull the trigger and let the bullet pierce him. If he gives the right answer then take the bullet out. If he gives the wrong one let the wound become infected." I gush dramatically clawing my hand in front of me.

"As brutal as that sounds... I think you should try the jealousy technique on him. Nothing too intense. Just talk about some boys you like or point out attractive ones down the street." Aaron shrugged finishing off a braid in my hair. "It will make him tempted to hold on to you more directly. Or you can just pull out another trick."

"Which one?" Sersha and I both asked, extremely invested.

"Tell him you have some childhood best friend or whatever and that that person asked you to make it official as he loves you. Discuss it with Reuben if you should say yes. Lean on the yes part yourself to make him more possessive and expose an answer." I stared at him with wide eyes. Maybe it was the drunk-ness but woah. I should have tried that on him.

"You are my fairy godmother or shit!" Sersha exclaimed loudly. "If I have a child I am naming it after you. I swear to god I'm doing this. Reuben can either man up or get his ass kicked by me." She abruptly stood up and ran out the room with a large flashing grin.

I tilted my head up to look at Aaron. "Can I use that trick on you after we break up?"

He held my face as I stared at him from below on his lap. "You can't ever break up with me. We're permanently set in stone."

"Forever?" I ask holding my pinky finger up at him.

"Forever." He hooks his with mine and shakes it.

Forever actually sounded more and more appealing.
