LUCY'S POV~~~~~
                          
" get up!" I whisper-shouted to George. 
" why." He mumbled into his pillow. " wait why are you in my room?" He said prying his face from the bed. 
" Because you and me are going out, now." I explained throwing the blankets off him. Biggest mistake I have ever made. I gaged and sheltered my eyes from the painful sight. George in his underwear. 
" I warned you." He said grabbing blindly for the covers. 
" No you didn't!" I half yelled. " lets go!" I said. I put my knee on the side of his bed and shoved him off the other end. I walked out of the room so that he could get dressed and walked right into Lockwood. NO NO NO NO NO NO! I screamed in my head. 
                          
" L-Lockwood, why are you up so early!" I stuttered. 
                          
" I woke up to you and George fighting." He joked. 
                          
" hey let me go make you some tea!" I exclaimed. 
                          
" alright." He said. We walked down to the kitchen and I put the kettle on. He sat at the table, reading his magazine. When the kettle blew I quickly took it off and poured it into two cups. I made Lockwood's first. Then I sadly slipped in a sleeping pill. I was going to make this the best birthday ever, and he was going to ruin it. I gave him his cup and sat down. After we finished, he started yawning so I turned to him and said " hey I need to show you something." I lied. 
                          
" whats that?" He said in a sleepy voice. 
" I'll show you, it's in my room." I lied again. 
" alright." He yawned. 
 So I took him up in my room and he sat on my bed while I pretended to look for something in my bag. He went out fairly quickly. I laid him back on the bed and covered him with the sheets. I walked back down to Georges room, hauled him out, and went shopping.

                          
We got back about a half an hour later. We have two bags full of stuff. George didn't waste any time. He ran strait for the kitchen and began cooking. I started hanging the streamers and tying up the balloons. I liked decorating, it was kinda relaxing. 
                          
" almost done Luce?" George chirped. He was almost done with the cake. It was vanilla. The only kind Lockwood liked. How did I know this you may ask, well I remember one day when there was absolutely nothing to do, we all sat around the fire and played truth or dare. I asked Lockwood if he prefers chocolate or vanilla. He said vanilla. 
                          
" yup, almost finished." I said back. " can you help me, I'm...too short." I said that last part quietly. 
                          
" of course!" George sang to me. He then lifted me up partially and I strapped the last piece  into place. George put me down and said " wow you're  light!" 
                          
" thanks???" I said with a quizzical look strapped to my face. I walked over to inspect the cake. It was perfectly done. Obviously. George made it.                " George this looks great!" He had smeared vanilla icing on top and threw on some blue sprinkles  as well. I gave him a pat on the back. 
                          
" thanks Luce!" He said as joyfulness lit his eyes. " can't wait till Lockwood sees the place. It looks really good. Were is Lockwood anyway?" He said. Oh no. He's still upstairs. 
                          
" I don't know let me go see." I said, the smile still on my face as I somewhat skipped up the stairs. I went up to my room to see a puzzled Lockwood. Good. He must of just woken up. I thought to myself. " Hey!" I said closing the door behind me. 
                          
"Mind telling me what I'm  doing in your bed Luce?" He said with a grin on his face. 
                          
" I don't know but ummm hey I have a surprise for you!" I chirped. 
                          
" oh yeah? Is that surprise the truth?" He said still grinning. " get over here Luce." I did as he said. I sat on the end of his old bed almost afraid of what he was going to say. 
                          
" I can explain." I said looking down at my hands. 
                          
" go ahead." He replied 
                          
" I might of threw a sleeping pill in your tea this morning." 
                          
" might have?" He said. " Luce whats going on?"
He sounded worried. I grabbed his hand instead of answering and lead him downstairs. When he got there he gasped. He never released my hand though. " you did this all for me?" He said turning toward me. George wasn't in the room at the moment. I could hear some shuffling from the upstairs bathroom though. 
                          
" yeah. I needed you to go back to sleep so that I could finish up. Sorry." I said looking down once more. 
                          
Lockwood leaned in close and whispered in my ear " thank you." He was so close that his teeth nipped my ear when he spoke. My cheeks got really warm and I tried to look away so that he couldn't see me but he just put his hand on my chin and turned me toward him. He starred  at me with his dark eyes. I started blushing even more as he moved his hand to my cheek and started drawing circles with his thumb. He chuckled and leaned in really close so that his lips grazed mine. He then spoke. " you don't know how long I've waited for this Luce." Something told me it wasn't the party. Then he kissed me. I started kissing back, rapping my arms around his neck. He put his other arm behind my back and closed the space between us in one swift movement. My muscles lit up when he touched them, my insides felt warm and slippery. My blood boiled and rose to my cheeks. He smiled into the kiss. When we broke apart we were both slightly panting. I smiled at him and whispered " Happy birthday Lockwood."
