I Yawned turning to wrap myself up a little more trying to get back to sleep when there was a loud bang on my door so I sighed getting up getting my dress on and going down to the dinning room my mother and father sat at one end my grandmother at the other and my grandfather in his chair in the middle of the long table covered with food, sweets and a small pile of presents by my normal chair
“Happy Birthday Sara” my mother smiled
“Thank you” I nodded taking my normal seat having a bit of toast from the rack
“Go on darling enjoy yourself it's your birthday” my father told me even if my gandmother shot him and he a evil scoll so I nodded having some food but not to much as not to anger her to much I opened my presents it wasn't much really, jewlery, dresses and such like all very beautiful and clearly very expensive they where nice but most of them a means to an end anyway till I got to the last one it was a stange shape and very heavy so I opened it and it was a book
“Ahh yes, your grandfather got that one made for you no clue what it's about” my grandmother told me I looked to him and he nodded with a faint smile tapping his finger to his nose the outside had no writing at all but a couple pages in it read...
“The Tales Of Lully Bay,
For The Most Immaginetaive Princess In the world
P.s Spaces for your own Drawings”
I looked though and it was all the stories he used to tell me about the merpeople and the cities they lived in under the sea, all the tales of when they came into contact with humans from land I almost wanted to cry, who knows how long this must have taken to make and every now and again there was places to draw pictures and a bunch of blank pages at the back with a little note
“for your own Story” I even noticed by the feel of the pages they where water proff each one done so they would be able to survie a dip or even a drouning in water I got up and went around giving him a hug
“Thank you Grandfather” I smile and he just nodded to me I took my things to my room once most of them retired to the living room for wine and chats for the rest of the day so I went sitting on my window ledge reading my book all the stories I know every word of but still loved reading them when I heard a little voice so I looked around but spotted Lynn on the ground under my window he had a bag over his shoulder that was clearly full
“Hey! Sara!” he calls waving to me which made me laugh a little “You going to let me up or not?” he asks so I sigh grabbing my little rope an throwing it out my window so I moved to sit on my bed as he climbed up and into my window tugging the rope back in with him shutting my window as he finished up “Hello birthday Girl” he laughs
“hello” I smile
“Aww somebodies happy? Get lots of nice presents?” he asks sitting on my bed with me and I nod “what are you reading?” he asks shuffleing to be beside me
“A book, My grandfather had made for me” I smile
“made for you, what is it?” he asks
“All the stories he used to tell me, the Lully bay stories” I smile resting my head on his shoulder
“All of them?” he asks and I nod
“I think so” I smile “Look there are even places to draw pictures” I smile showing him my book
“Aren't you a little old now for story books? With pictures?” He asks
“You sound like my parents” I sigh moving away from him
“Oh sara, I was just kidding” he laughs “it's beautiful, come on” He smiles so I sigh cuddling back close to him again “Only problem is you can't draw Sara” he laughs
“I know... but you can” I giggle
“Okay, but not today okay...you want your present?” He asks and I nod “Alright let off me then Sara” he laughs
“No My Lynn” I giggle hugging him tighter
“Princess. I will give you a cuddle in a minuet” He laughs getting up off my bed “Eyes shut” he told me so I sigh shutting my eyes and sitting putting my book down on my table “okay open” He says so I looked and my bed was covered in huge beautiful shells
“Ohh Lynn there beautiful” I smile hugging him tightly I looked at each all of them as introdcat an beautiful as you could immagine I put each perfectly on my shelfs making sure they where safe and nice “Thank you” I smile giving his cheek a kiss “where did you get them all?” I ask him
“I've been collecting them up for a while now for you” He says
“Aww thank you lynn” I smile holding him close
“it's okay, I have another present for you” He says
“Aww Lynn you shouldn't have this is more then enough for little me” I giggle
“But your my princess course you get more then one present” he laughs getting something else from his bag it was a perfectly round rock
“Ohh it looks cool, where did you find it?” I ask him
“that is a secret my sweet” he smiles “but it's not just a cool rock break it open come on” he says handing it to me
“Alright” I laugh taking it to my little table and slowly cracking it open the inside was beautiful little rocks and crystals “It's beautiful Lynn, thank you so much” I smile
“Your welcome my princess” he smiles “Come on, come here” He says so I sat in my with him
“Thank you for all my presents Lynn” I smile snuggling close to him “This is the best part of my birthday, getting to be with you” I smile
“Humm, it's the best present I could give you my Princess, getting to be your pillow for the night” he says
“Umm, my favourite Pillow” I giggle giving him a little kiss on the nose
“Awww, Am I?” He asks and I nod pushing him so he was flat on my bed “Whoa hello” he laughs surprised by me pushing him down and I moved to sit over his stomach “Uhhhh Sara... what are you doing?” He asks
“come on Lynn it's my birthday Please” I beg
“Ohh alright, but I can't be long your father has guards posted everywhere tonight” he warns
“yay!” I giggle jumping back on to my side of the bed he sighed sitting up and taking his shirt off
“Happy now Little princess?” he asks and I nod nuddling him tightly and laying down together “Why do you like cuddling me when I'm like this?” he asks
“Your softer then your clothes, I just like it better” I smile giving his skin a little kiss
“Sara! That tickles” he complains
“want me to tickle you?” I ask him
“No” he laughs
“then shu-” I began
“I know, I know shut up Lynn” he laughs pulling me closer I smiled almost falling asleep on him I was so comfortable until I began to hear the chimes of the grandfather clock down the hall “I need to get going sara, before it gets to dark and the guards start there patrolls” he says
“Ohhh Please a little longer Lynn” I beg
“I'm sorry Sara, as much as I would love to stay my little princess I have to go” he says getting up and getting his shirt back on “Imagine what would happen if your father came to visit the pretty little princess for her birthday before she goes to sleep and he found me here half naked in bed with you” he laughs
“You would be executed” I giggle
“Exactly, and if you want your favourite pillow to stay alive you need to let me go home” he says kneeling at my bed and giving my hand a kiss
“Alright, will you visit me tomorrow?” I ask him
“Of course my Princess” he says kissing my head and going to get his bag “Ohh I almost forgot, I had another present for you” he says
“Lynn, you gave me enough” I laugh
“One more little present for my sweet little princess thats all” he smiles sitting on my bed “So you have something to snuggle with night's I can't be with you” he says handing me a soft teddy bear
“Awww lynn, really?” I ask
“Course, I made him for you” He says
“Umm thank you” I smile hugging him tightly
“Your welcome Sara” he smiles giving my head a kiss “See you tomorrow, I promise” he says
“Okay, tomorrow” I smile laying in my bed holding the soft bear tightly as I puleld the duvet up closer “Goodnight Lynn” I giggle
“Goodnight Sara” he smiles “Sweet dreams my Princess” he says blowing me a little kiss before he climbed out my window it was to dark for me to see him so I tucked myself in and snuggled with the little bear he made for me it smelt like him a little the material even felt a little like one of his shirts it had little hands one of which held as I went to sleep.
