SHANAY POV
I cannot believe that today is my birthday, I am finally 21. I dont even believe that Luke and I have been together for 3 years. Five days ago he told me that today he has a day filled with surprises. I am shocked at the fact that he has planned stuff in just five days. I haven't seen him all day, but I know that I will have to see him eventually.
When I got up he had my breakfast made for me already and it was just waiting for me that makes me wonder how long ago he left. He could have atleast wished me a happy birthday while he was still at home.
I spent the entire morning watching Netflix, at one point I got up to go to the bathroom like 3 times because I felt sick, maybe it was something I ate, then something caught my eye when I sat back down on the sofa. It was an envelope with my name on it. I opened it and there was a note inside. It told me to go outside because there was someone waiting for me. I quickly got dressed because I didnt know if I was late or not and ran downstairs and made my way out the house.
When I got out the house there was a driver waiting for me, and he told me that we needed to go somewhere.
"Good day Miss Ramjass, I will be your driver for today, you will enjoy everything that your fiancè has in store for you today. Oh before I forget, Happy Birthday and I hope you enjoy today."
"Thank you so much sir. Am I late?" I asked him, I was a little scared. I dont even know why.
"Oh dont be silly, I just got here, you are right on time." I gave him a smile and he opened the door for me so I got in and we were on our way. I can't believe that Luke arranged for a limo at such short notice. The windows were pitch black so I couldn't really see what was outside, I didn't even know where we were.
After ten minutes of us driving, the limo stopped and he got out, and he opened the door for me. I got out and he told me to close my eyes, I did so and he put a blindfold on for me. I felt him take my hand and guide me to our destination. We then came to a stop.
I still had the blindfold on, I felt someone start to untie the blindfold and when it was off I took about 5 seconds until I opened my eyes. When I opened my eyes, I saw that Luke was standing in front of me and he was wearing semi-formal clothing. It made me so happy to see him. I could feel those tears that threatened to fall. I walked up to him and gave him a hug. I hugged him so tight that I didnt want to leave him, but we both knew that we had to go on with the plans for today.
We were at a fancy restaurant, but we were in a place that could have been a VIP section, we were alone, the waiter came up to us and the both of us ordered. It was only lunch so I knew that today would be long but Luke would make it memorable.
I felt a bit sick so I had to go to the bathroom. When I came back Luke had a concerned look on his face.
"Babe are you okay, should we leave? You look pale."
"No I'll be fine, don't worry, we should continue with our day. I don't want to ruin all of your plans for today." I said to him.
Not long after that, our food arrived and we started eating. I wonder how he even found such a fancy place because the food here is delicious.
After having our lunch he paid for everything and we left. This time we both went in the limo. I guess that one of his friends took his car back to the house.
This whole day has been full of surprises. We finally got to dinner and this time we went to the house. The lights were off but in the middle of the dining room, our dinner table was set and there were candles that were lit. Everything was set out really nicely. It looked as if it took him alot of planning to get everything so perfect.
"So? Do you like this?" He turned to look at me and I could see the sparkle in his eyes.
"Luke...this, this is perfect." I almost started crying. I must have done something to get the best fiancè ever. I looked at him and didn't even give it another thought when I gave him the tightest hug that I have ever given him. He was in shock for a little while then he wrapped his arms around my waist.
"Alright babe, let's go and eat. I don't want our food to get cold before we eat it." He held my hand guiding me to the table. We both sat down and someone brought some food for us.
After dinner that person brought some dessert for us and after I had that all I wanted to ask him was where he found this brilliant chef for today.
"I already know what you want to ask me. I could see your facial expression when you took the first bite of your dessert. My parents know alot of affluent people since they are well known for all their movies, so when i asked them, they gave me the phone number for the best chef in all of Los Angeles.
After everything I went upstairs to change into a fresh pair of pajamas. While I was changing, my mind wandered to the chance of me being pregnant. It's kinda obvious since I haven't been feeling well these past few days and my weird craving for different foods.
No...i should check first before I am absolutely sure that I am not pregnant. But how will I be able to go out without Luke noticing that I'm gone? After a while I finally came up with an idea on how to distract him. I phoned Michael and told him to pick me up in 10 minutes and luckily he didn't ask any questions. So I went downstairs and Luke was sitting on the couch watching a movie on Netflix.
"Umm...babe, we ran out of juice. Do you mind going out and getting some for us. I would really appreciate it." I said and gave him my puppy dog eyes.
"You're lucky that it's your birthday and that you're soo cute. If it were anyone else, I would have refused them." He said to me and gave me a kiss before picking up his phone and car keys then walking out the door.
I am really scared about taking this pregnancy test because if it does turn out to be positive, what will I tell Luke then? We aren't even married yet, that would be even more stressful for us. So without further thought I picked up my cell phone and walked out the door.
Just as I got outside, that was the exact time that Michael pulled up outside my house, wow this guy has perfect timing.
"So who's dead body are we dumping this time?" He looked at me and i just raised an eyebrow at her.
"What?" I was so confused.
"Relax girl, you know that I'm kidding. Or am I?" He raised an eyebrow. And this time I just couldn't hold my laugh back, why is he so weird. But that part of him is why we're best friends.
It didn't take us that long to get to the Pharmacy. Once we got there I went inside and headed for the aisle that had those pregnancy tests. I grabbed about 4 so that I could be absolute sure that I was pregnant or not. As soon as I paid for them I made my way out and jumped into Michael's car. We went back to my house and I went inside, I think he followed me in, but i doubt it because when I was on the phone with him, it sounded as if there was someone with him, so he wouldn't stay.
I did the first test and had to wait for 2 minutes. As soon as those 2 minutes were over, it was the moment of truth... was I pregnant or not? I was scared, I finally got the courage and looked down at it.
"POSITIVE!" The shock in my voice was evident. And that was when I heard something drop to the floor. I quickly looked up and saw Luke standing there and the tears in his eyes, threatening to fall. I got up and walked over to him. I started at him for a little while until he pulled me into his arms.
"Y-You're not mad or anything?" I asked him. He just held me closer to him. I took this moment of silence to soak in everything that was happening.
"Why on earth would I ever be mad that we can now start our family? This is the best news ever." He looked at me and smiled.
"But Luke, we aren't married yet, what will we do about that?" I asked him.
"All we need to do is go and have a small wedding in court so that we are register as a married couple. And when our daughter is born, we will have our wedding and invite all of our family and friends."
"Daughter?" I asked him. This was shocking that he wanted a daughter. I thought that he would want a son that he can do so much things with.
"Yes Shanay, I want a daughter who will be exactly like her mother, loving, caring, compassionate, sweet, beautiful and funny. That is all I want her to be. But if she gets a boyfriend, then I will embarrass her." He laughed.
"I just can't believe that you are so happy at the thought of having a daughter." I said to him.
"Why wouldn't I be happy? She will always be Daddy's little angel. And Mommy's little mini me."
"Come one, don't make me cry anymore. When will we break this news to everyone?" I asked him. I finally pulled away from his arms and looked him in the eyes.
"Let's give it a month before we can tell anyone okay?" But I want to tell everyone now.
"That would take alot of time but I can do that." I said to him. I walked out of the bathroom, and he followed me.
He took off his shirt and pants, leaving him in his boxers. I found that very attractive, but that was just my hormones, because we have seen eachother naked like a million times. I got into bed and just started at him. He noticed after a while.
"C'mon, you still like all this, even after 3 years?" He said, signaling to his body.
"Well, I mean, look at it. I find it breathtaking. Okay, now I see it. You're getting fat. You don't even exercise anymore."
"I feel very offended by that." He said sarcastically. He got into bed and pulled me closer to him so that we were spooning. We were watch I no a movie on Netflix, and eventually we both drifted off to sleep in that exact position.
It made me feel so safe to just be near him or even in his arms. My life would be completely different if I didnt meet my soulmate, who happened to be my neighbor. And if we didn't speak at all in senior year then I would be with some kind of douche, or single. But I wouldn't change that for the world.
