16. THE CELEBRATION

"PRINCESS!! Wake up!!" My eyes snapped open at his scream. The sudden noise had given my heart a kick start and it was thumping so loudly against my chest, that I couldn't move for a moment, until he began to nudge me.

"Wake up! It's your birthday!!" His annoying voice clashed with my ears and all of a sudden, I felt immense rage burning in me. With a loud and irritated groan, I pulled the sheets to my face and turned away from him.

"If you don't wake up this instant—I am going to carry you Princess style—" Even before he could finish, I had sat up and pushed him away with a shove.
