Chapter 14: You changed your mind and chose wrong

16 wasn't that different from 17.

I wore the same things.

I acted the same way.

I walked the same.

I felt like any other day.

Well accept for the presents and the way Dick was treating me. I guess after being tortured to do elaborate things for Madison on her birthday he got into a tradition of sorts.

The first thing I see when I wake up on my 17th birthday is a large present sitting on my desk. I open it thinking it was from my parents to see a new white Mac computer. I run downstairs to thank them a million plus times, but then I saw their confused faces.

"That boy we saw at the hospital on Thanksgiving came here and left it. What's his name? Rick or something?" my dad had asked looking up from his bacon and eggs.

I had looked at them dumbstruck totally awed that Dick would buy a brand new computer for me. I didn't know wither I should call him and thank him or make him take it back for spending too much on me.

As I finally came out of my 5 minute coma and had turned around to go back upstairs my parents wishes of Happy Birthday following me down the hallway, my phone rang.

It was Dick calling to wish me a happy birthday.

I told him he should take the computer back because it was too much. He insisted I keep it and then he told me he'd be there in 10 to pick me up for school. He was being overly sweet.

He was like a hott toothache.

So I guess in a way 16 is different from 17, Dick was being super nice and super hott...he was also super mine. I smiled at the thought. We drove up to school and Dick parked in his usual places. As we stepped out of the car I saw a lot of people looking at us.

And it wasn't because it was my birthday.

This was the first time Dick and I had completely announced we were together. We were walking into school together a sure sign we were in fact together. My stomach dropped at the thought and I moved closer to Dick who smiled in response.

This was going to be a long birthday.

"It's so nice to meet you." my mother said smiling and shaking Dick's hand.

Dick smiled a little flushed then looked towards me who was standing next to Veronica and Logan. The cutsey-twosome were holding each others hands and looking as gross as humanly possible. I noticed my brother Ryan eyeing them.

I rolled my eyes and looked back at Dick was scrambled over to me once my mother was done talking to him.

I smiled and grabbed for his hand. His hand was so warm and calloused in mine. I guessed he got the callouses from surfing. I blushed when I thought of him on his board surfing and I saw my dad eyeing our hands and my face.

I dropped Dick's hand immediately.

"Are you guys ready to go?" my mom asked us.

I rolled my eyes.

We were already walking out the door.

Obviously we were ready.

"Since Mac brought her friends I think we should take two cars." my dad said.

"Good idea Mr. Mackenzie." Dick said boldly.

We all turned to look at him. He was such a suck up. Dad, mom, and Ryan walked over to the car and got in as Veronica, Logan, Dick and I got into Logan's Xterra. We followed my dad to the restaurant. I glanced over at Dick and saw his twitching with his collar. I cuddled closer to him and kissed him on the cheek.

"Calm down. Everything will be fine."

He nodded and I smiled leaning my shoulder on him.

Maybe going on to dinner with my parents for my birthday wasn't the best idea...

Although intially the idea of having Dick meet my parents and everything at my birthday party seemed like a good one in my head on paper it was a disaster. Well, I guess it could have been worse. Someone could have died.

The entire night Dick tried to be the best he could and my parents who weren't openly mean weren't openly nice either. All I can say is it's a relief to finally be away and in Logan's Xterra looking for something to do. Actually Logan had decided what to do for us. He was dropping Dick and I off at Dick's all because of Dick's sugestion.

Plus we had nothing else to do.

And Veronica and Logan were getting horny which was gross upon itself.

"what do you wanna do?" Dick asked as we stepped into his house.

I smiled at him, "you wanna play Halo?"

Dick smiled too and we ran upstairs and onto Dick's bed to play Halo.

Once we were done, I had beaten him 5 times and he had won once. we layed side by side on his bed both of us wearing huge grins.

Dick scooted closer to me. "Mac, I think you're the best girlfriend ever." I laughed and kissed him on the lips.

"Just because I play Halo with you?"

Dick shook his head. "naw. Because you're amazing."

He kissed me on the lips then this time for longer and soon we were having sex on his bed.

On my birthday.

Together.

Unlike the last time we did it this time I was his girlfriend and I was happy.

I had no regrets.

And I was caught up with this sexy blonde man.

Before I fell asleep I heard a whispered 'I love you' in my ear and I had to say that this was the best birthday ever.

And no one could ruin it.

The End
