Sophie

I woke up exhausted. I had completely forgotten about Charlie. He somehow managed to get on the bed and woke me up by licking me on my nose. His sandpaper-like tongue made me giggle.

I grabbed him and cradled him against me while laying on my side. "Morning Charlie! You're such a cute baby."

The door to the bathroom opened, Logan was coming out with nothing but a towel wrapped low around his waist. The sight of him looking so sexy still makes me blush. I smiled and covered myself with the blanket up to my nose to hide my complexion.

He chuckled and leaned over to kiss me. "Morning beautiful."

"Good morning. Why are you up so early?" I sat up and leaned against the headboard, taking Charlie in my arms.
Logan narrowed his eyebrows in disbelief taking Charlie in his right arm.

"The fuck Charles! I told you, get your own woman, boy." He places Charlie down. I couldn't help but laugh, he was so cute. It amused me how he was so jealous of Charlie.

He looks back at me with a smile and walks over to his drawer, grabbing a pair of clean boxers. Once he was changed comfortably in a pair of black sweatpants and a hoodie, he came over to lay with me for a bit longer.

"So, what would my queen like for breakfast? Pancakes? Waffles? Me?" I blushed at his options, and bite my lip.

"Mm, I'd love option number three, please. Smothered in a little bit of honey to make his green side a little sweeter," I giggled as he asked, his mouth open, and smiled.

"Bitter. Did you call me an old bitter man? I'll show you bitter." He chuckled, hovering over me and tickling me on my neck with his mouth. His hands tickled me all over my stomach, I tried so hard to get away as I squirmed and pushed on his chest, but to no avail.

"Ok, I'm. I'm sorry. No more." I squeezed, biting my lip. He ignored my pleads and continued to tickle me. "Baby please, no more. I give up, I'll do anything. Logan!" I squeezed and giggled, my stomach was hurting from laughing so hard.

"Anything huh? Say you love me. Say I'm your only man, for now, and forever, say it." His voice was husky, but his tickling continued to torture me.

"You-you're my only man, Logan. For now, and forever. I love you, Logan. Now please, no more!" I whimpered through my laughter.

He stopped torturing me, hovering over my body with his hands resting on either side of my body. His eyes locked in mine, I love those green-honey eyes of his. He was utter perfection. He was a damn handsome devil.

"I love you too." He lowers himself and kisses me softly repeatedly. We stayed cuddling for a few minutes before I got off and decided to take a quick shower. My stomach was beginning to grumble.

I went and picked up Charlie, kissed him on his little nose, and placed him back down. I went and turned on the water, it was still coming out pretty warm since it hadn't been long since Logan took a bath.

I washed my teeth while the water fully heated and took Logan's shirt off, hopping into the shower.

I took my time showering, enjoying the feel of the hot water cascading down my body. The restroom still smelled like him. His sexy cologne and shower gel still filled the air.

After I finished showering, I dried myself off. Taking my time to lather my body with lotion and opening the bathroom caddy to grab my body spray out.

I decided on wearing my black leggings, a white V-neck, a long blue cardigan, and my blue converse.

I combed my hair and leave it down since there were still water droplets falling off my hair.

I grabbed the towel and patted my hair a little more in the end while I opened the door to the room. My gaze was down, and I was surprised to see so many pink balloons on the floor.

I looked up to see the room covered in all kinds of balloons. There were so many shades of pink, and sizes, there were balloons on the floor and hanging from the ceiling. The bed was covered in rose petals and a huge teddy bear with a pink bow. There was a box centered in the middle of the bed, surrounded by pink roses and gerbera daisies.

My mouth was tasked open, and I'm sure my eyes were going to pop out of their sockets from how wide they were.

Charlie barked by my right foot, I looked down to see he was handsomely dressed in his white and orange Lakeview High shirt.

I picked him up and glanced all over. Logan was smiling from ear to ear. He stood on the opposite side of the room from me, a long-stemmed pink rose in his hand.

"Logan. You did all this for me? But, why?" I walked over to him, wrapping my hands around his waist and placing a kiss on his lips.

"Actually, it was all of us. Mom, Ash, Meghan, aunt Ruth, even Aaron pitched in. Do you like it?"

"Like? I-I love it. But, why?"

"It's your early birthday Soph."

"Logan, my birthday isn't until Monday."

"I know. But, we're starting an early celebration. So, go and look at your first gift. In the box, and then we'll go down for breakfast before you have to get ready to go."

"Wait, go? Where am I going? And aren't you coming with me?"

"No. You're going with Lexie and the girls. Then we'll meet here again and you're going out with Lexie, me and the boys. So... Yeah."

I smiled at him. He was the best boyfriend in the world. I kissed him and let him take my hand. He walked me over to the bed and showed me everything that was in the box.

There was a huge black box with all kinds of mochis his mon had made last night, tricking me into thinking they were for an event. It also had a lot of handcrafted chocolates she had perfectly mastered.

The big-box Logan made me have a lot inside. It included his visa card, which he explained had no limit to my expenses for the day. Though I probably wouldn't use it. It had a whole package for a spa day, with massage, facial, mani-pedi and so much more. It had a card for a restaurant and different cards for me to go shop. Each card was worth 500 dollars per store. I was feeling a little unease with myself. I didn't want Logan spending so much money. How the hell was he able to afford all this anyway?

I wanted to protest and tell him he should be saving this money for college, but he wouldn't hear any of it.

"But it's just too much Logan. Why did you get me so mu-"

"Stop it, Soph. You deserve all this and so much more babe. You mean so much to me, you have no idea. I'd give you the world if I could." His eyebrows are pursed, he leans in kissing me on my forehead.

"I love you, baby girl. You have no idea how much."

"I love you too." I smiled, though I still felt a little remorse with all this. What if he went broke with all this? Oh and Ash, she wanted a puppy, he spent so much on me, he didn't get her puppy.
I was starting to feel so guilty.

"Now come on. Let's get down to get some breakfast." He pulls me and hoists me up, hugging me bridal style. My arms automatically wrap around him.

He took his first step but accidentally steps on Charlie's paw making him yell and whimper.

"Damn it, Charles! Kill my moment why don't you?" I chuckle at his reaction. He puts me down and picks up Charlie in his arms.

Charlie was still whimpering and pouts his little face.

"Aww, it's ok, boy. Daddy didn't mean to step on you."

Logan chuckles, kissing me on my lips and cradling Charlie in his arms.

"Alright, alright. I'm sorry Charlie. I didn't mean to," he snuggles Charlie against his chest and Charlie automatically snuggles, stopping his whimpers.

We made our way out of the room and down the stairs. I could not have had a better morning. Now- to eat.
