*Claire’s Point of View*
---
I could feel my heartbeat racing as she was halfway finished with what she’s doing with her buttons.
Then she stopped in front of me while still smiling wildly.
I held my breath, and why is it so f*cking warm in here?
“Hey, I’m just kidding. If you could just see your reaction, Red.” She let out and laughed so hard, then sat on the bed beside me.
I just combed my hair with my fingers and let out a deep breath, then laughed nervously. Dang, it!
“Here, open it.” She stated as she handed me a box.
Okay, so this is what she wants me to open? Damn, can she continue opening those later? Sh*t, shut it. Behave.
“What’s this?” I asked her as I was opening her gift.
And inside it is a box. I opened it again, and another box appeared. I looked at her with my eyebrows met, and she’s just smiling so wide.
“Just open it.” She uttered and put away the wrappers and the boxes.
I opened the third box, and here is another box. Is she kidding me? A gift full of boxes?
“Keep opening, Red.” She muttered and took her phone from the nightstand.
Is she taking a video?
I kept opening it, and finally, the seventh box. Damn, can we just open something else other than this?
Then a smile crept on my face as I saw a cute bracelet inside the seventh box.
I looked at her, and she snapped a picture.
“You like it?” She asked, and I nodded my head as I stared at the thing in awe.
“I made it when I was twelve years old, and I’m supposed to give that to you on your twelfth birthday, but you went away, and I never got the chance. Then every year from that day, I kept wrapping it. So, it has seven boxes now. Happy birthday, my Clairedaven Lawrence.” She explained, and I’m just speechless.
Wow, I never thought that this bully had some sweet side in her during our younger years. This is so unbelievable.
She took the thing and put it on me. I really love it. It has a ‘C&S’ engraved on it, and it’s so freaking adorable. I’m going to keep this forever.
She kissed my cheek and wiped something on my face with her thumb—a tear.
“It’s so beautiful, Sammy. Thank you.” I told her, and she smiled warmly.
She took selfies with me while I showed the bracelet on my wrist at the camera.
Then I looked at the box, and there was paper in it. I think it’s a letter.
“Oops! Would you please not read it yet? Damn, I already forgot the things I have written there. Just read it when you’re alone. Please?” She uttered frantically and asked.
“Why? Are you blushing? What is in this?” I asked her, and she’s so red.
“No! I’m uh... Well, I kinda remembered something that my twelve-year-old self wrote in there and just read it some other time. Okay?” She let out, and I think she’s ashamed of something in here.
And because I am stubbornly curious, I attempted to unfold it.
“Let’s see what’s in it,” I stated, and she tried to get it from me, but I moved my hand away from her.
“No!!!! Please, Red! Don’t!!” She kept reaching it, and now, she’s on top of me.
She’s so desperate to get the thing from me, and I’m hugging her waist and her... uh, her chest is very, very near my face. Damn, I think she’s not wearing a... Ahem. Bra.
“Give it to me!!!!” She yelled, and I just kept laughing my ass out. She’s so cute.
She suddenly stopped, and I guess she gave up.
I was surprised when she kissed me while she’s still on top of me. And of course, I responded politely. I’m a good girl.
My hands wandered inside her clothes, and she let out a soft moan as I gently scratched her waist.
She kept kissing my lips, and her hands were somewhere else.
Then she suddenly gets out of bed while wearing a victorious face.
I looked at her left hAnd and she got the letter. Damn, I lost my attention. What a clever cheerleader!
“Got it.” She claimed and waved the paper near my face while biting her lower lip.
She’s making me crazy.
I slowly got up from the bed while looking at her intently.
“You… Are… So… Dead... to me.” I growled as I slowly went near her.
And she seemed to panic, and when I’m about to grab her, she ran away from me, and I chased her. You like games, huh? I’ll show you how it is played.
“Where do you think you’re going?” I asked her playfully, and she’s on the other side of the bed.
“No!! No!! No!! Stop right there, Red! I swear you’ll never like it when I go mad. Stop!” She threatened me, and I’m not afraid even a bit.
“Try me.” I challenged her and crawled on the bed while slowly going near her. Damn, she looks so funny right now.
“Red, Red, Red! Stop! Fine, here.” She let out while doing a stop hand signal in front of my face and handed the letter. I thought she’s brave?
“Too late now. I’m provoked.” I uttered and grabbed her hand and then pinned her to the bed.
And now, I’m on top of her.
“Red, I was… umm… just... Uh… joking?” She stammered, and the letter is nowhere to be found now. I think it’s on the floor.
“You never should have done that,” I told her and captured her lips hungrily.
She responded and sat up on the bed while I was sitting on her lap. And I let my hands take control and took off her top. Now, she’s only in her white camisole. Mmm, so hot.
Then my lips traveled down her neck, and she’s busy taking off my shirt.
I looked her in the eyes, and they’re saying that she wants more. So, she pulled me closer to her as she wrestled with pinning me down on my bed.
Her lips claimed mine once again while her hands were caressing my skin gently. And I wrapped my arms around her neck as our kiss became deeper.
Then the next moments went so intimate and full of passion.

After the energy-draining activity, we're both gasping for air as we laid down on the bed. Her head is on my chest while I'm playing with some strands of her blonde hair. It has been the most wonderful gift I have received.
Well, it's just wow. I have no other words to describe it.
Moments passed, and I think she's already asleep.
"I love you, Sammy," I whispered and kissed her head.
Then I slowly put her head on the pillow and tucked her in.
And finally, I got up from the bed and went to the bathroom.
I looked at myself in the mirror, and my eyes went wide when I saw something red on my neck.
I just shook my head while smiling so wide, and then I removed my contact lenses.
I put back on my pajamas, and I think I should wake her up. And I just decided to let her wear a nightgown.
She seemed startled, and she fluttered her eyes open while smiling at me.
I can barely see her face since I don't have my glasses with me, and the only light around here is the one from the lamp.
Then she wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me to lie on the bed beside her.
"I love you too, Red, and happy birthday." She whispered in my ear and placed a kiss on my forehead.
This feeling is just so wonderful.
Then she put her left arm under my neck and wrapped me in her embrace.
"Good night." We chuckled when we both said it at the same time.
Finally, we went to sleep, and my only birthday wish is that we could stay like this forever.
