“Hey, you guys know it’s almost my birthday.” I sing-song.

“Uh yeah, crap... We don’t have anything planned.” I say, stumbling over my words.
Charlotte sighs and I stifle a laugh.
“Surprise birthday party?” I ask, rolling my eyes.
I nod and glare at Joseph.
“Well you have always been a terrible liar.” I sigh.
“Sorry.” I mumble.
“Don’t worry about it,” I shrug. “Just make sure the cake is chocolate.” I grin.
“Consider it done!” I say, pulling out my phone and making a note.
My phone buzzes in my pocket and I grab it. It’s Julie, my fathers blushing bride to be. Julie is actually pretty awesome, it’s my dad who’s the problem. Is that weird? Liking your future step-mother more than you actual father? Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t, but I guess nothings normal in my life.
“Hello?” I ask, putting the phone to my ear.
“Hey Charlotte, so you want to come by my studio this afternoon? We can look through some of the magazines to find your dress, and I have a few pieces I want to show you.”
“Yeah, definitely! When should I come by?” I ask.
“3:00 work for you?” I ask.
“Sure, see you then.” I say, smiling.
“Okay, see you then, Charlotte.” I say.
“Who was that?” I ask.
“Julie.”
“Oh right! Dang it, I almost forgot about that, when is it?” I ask.
“Three days before Christmas.” I say.
“Well at least I’m going to have a date.” I grin.
