EVE'S POV

Nathan was also a photographer, aside being an artist. He handed over to me, a large album containing pictures he had taken. I turned each page of the big book as I carefully adored his beautiful handiwork. After, I randomly brought up an idea of which we were to take pictures of ourselves.

"I'll go first," He ushered me to stand in front of one of his gorgeous drop-backs as he took shots of me. After several flashes of the bright light, he signalled me to come have a look at how he did. "Let's see," He showed me the pictures one by one.

"These are beautiful because you're beautiful," He looked at me closely. His stare shifted to my lips and he looked away quickly after.

"You make me blush on purpose," I looked back at him and he was smiling. He's always smiling...

"Now, it's your turn," I took the heavy object from him carefully. I wasn't really good with cameras but I had to try. I took a couple of shaky shots of him. He had a look of the photos. "At least you've tried. So your birthday is in a week. Planning anything?" Nathan asked and it had me thinking for a moment.

"No. I haven't even thought of it." He always tends to admire me whenever I'm talking. He simply nods, saying nothing. "What next?" I said, trying to break the silence between us.

He sat on the small couch and sighed. "I'm out of ideas," He scratches the back of his head. "Maybe we could watch a movie?" He suggested and shrugged.

"Sure," He scrolled through the numerous movies. "Let's watch that one!" He abruptly stopped on the Aladdin movie. He went into the kitchen and came back with a big bowl of salty popcorn. He sat beside me, right when the movie started.

My eyes became extremely heavy in the middle of the movie. I unknowingly rested my head on Nathan's shoulder and fell into deep sleep shortly after.

NATHAN'S POV

Eve seemed somehow comfortable on my hard shoulder. I made sure she was sound asleep before I lifted her up in bridal style and trod carefully to my room. I slowly put her in my bed, covering her body with the soft, thick blanket. I watched her once again before shutting the door quietly.

Once I was back in the living room, the movie had ended. I then got myself something to do. Taking both our paintings, I sprayed them with finish. I was deep in my thoughts as I was doing this.

'Eve mentioned not planning anything for her birthday. Maybe I should plan something for her?'

Thoughts of this sort run through my mind. It was going to be a lot of work; something I couldn't do all by myself.

'Who can I get to help me? Who, who...'

That was when her friend came into mind. I smiled and nodded to myself. I set the can of finish and both paintings unto the table in the corner. I picked up the light weighted device and scrolled through the numbers, till I stopped on one, that looked very familiar.

I quickly sent a quick text to this number and awaited the reply.

EMMA'S POV

I rested my body on the cosy bed with my phone beside me. I scan through the diverse channels with the small remote control. I froze instantly after hearing the message tone sound. I quickly grabbed my phone to see who it was.

"Hello." The brief text was from Nathan. But why is he texting me? Did something happen? I sent a quick reply to him.

"Hi..."

"I hope you're good?"

"I am. Is everything okay?" I hope everything is okay, though. Especially with Eve.

"Everything's fine. I need your help."

Me? Is he going to propose to Eve? Focus Emma!

"Okay. What is it?"

"Eve's birthday is in a week and I want to surprise her with a party but I needed help so I thought to ask you."

That's so nice of him!

"Totally! I'd love to help."

"Great! I'll text you soon to talk about the preparations."

"Okay. Later!"

I fought so hard with my inner instincts not to say anything to Eve until everything has been settled.
