Happy Birthday Holly - The Big Birthday Activity Book: (Personalized Children's Activity Book)

Product Information

Well, this is new. I mean Gail held my hand to the entire car ride over here. She opened every door and took my coat. Then grabbed my hand as we were waiting to be seated. With anybody else, I'd be confident that she likes me the same way I like her. But with Gail, I can't help but be cautious. She's so sweet, and she's making it hard for me to keep my hands to myself. I think I'm falling for her. Like really falling. What I felt for any of my ex’s pales in comparison to what I feel for her. I'm in unknown territory. I'm terrified that I'm going to ruin everything. I don't want to lose her. I need her in my life in whatever capacity she wants. I think she might be attracted to me. I've caught her giving me some looks that make my heart skip a beat, but she would always look away and start rambling about something. Uh-huh, it's a date for you even if she doesn't know it. I can't believe that your Officer is this dense or dumb. From what you told me, your invitation screamed date. Does she even know it's your birthday?"

Tracy just continues to laugh and say, "Listen, we are all happy for you. It's obvious Holly makes you happy. You deserve to be happy, Gail." Then the car stops before I can say another word. She immediately goes for the door, and I see her run into the Penny. Now, what I'm going to do? Tracy, if you share anything I'm about to say with absolutely anybody, I swear to God I'll never speak to you again." Yes, I didn't want to ruin it. I didn't know how to tell you that I felt the same about you. I should have listened to Tracy and gone with her Plan A."

How the hell do you know I did something?" I ask exasperated. Damn it; it's like she can read my mind. I'd love to. Do you have any place in mind?" I ask as a small, lopsided grin appears. I love when that happens.

Tracy laughs and says, "Oh come on, Gail. She makes you happy. You smile more; you're more open with us. You even have more patience. Then there's the small little fact that whenever you even get a glimpse of Holly, your face lights up like a freaking Christmas Tree. It's written all over your face and hers too, by the way. We even have a pool going." I don't know if I should be insulted or just let it go because Tracy helped tonight," I say frowning a little. What did you get for yourself?", Holly asks as she looks at the containers and she begins to frown.

Anybody else wouldn't say I was overreacting. I'm just cautious. Besides, that little episode scared the hell out of me. Seeing your best friend gasping for air and covered in hives would make anybody cautious. It didn't have to happen. You told them about your allergy. They could have killed you," Holly quietly says as she looks down. But it's her birthday. I meant what I said. She deserves a special night, and I'm determined to give her one. But it's time I make my intentions clear. I grab her hand, intertwine our fingers and whisper, "Come on Lunchbox. Your carriage awaits." The room erupts in applause, catcalls, and requests for another song; she just drops the mic and begins to get off the stage. I feel Tracy gives me a shove in her direction while softly saying, "Go, Holly. Yes, I know she hurt you, but you can devastate her. Please be gentle with my friend." She should be here any minute. I don't think my stomach has ever been in so many knots. I'm going out with the woman of my dreams on my birthday. How special is that? I sigh and decide to take a chance. "As the Disney Princess has already reported, I had lunch with Holly. Everything was going fine and then she asked if I wanted to go with her to Vittorio's on Friday. You've heard of it, right?"
