Chapter 7 ~ Eighteenth Birthday

😃 Sorry this chapter will be so depressing but I did add a lot of humor. So I declare this chapter amusingly depressing! 😂😭

Iris's POV

It was my eighteenth birthday and Sherlock had planned out my entire birthday party. It was at his house in an hour. Sherlock's black eye was almost gone and he won't leave my side because of the kidnapping incident.

My hair was curled nicely for my party I wore black jeans and my favorite pink hoodie. I hadn't slept well the previous night because of a painful backache, that had now dulled to a barely noticeable throbbing.

A cab stopped for me and my mum outside our flat, Sherlock was already at his house preparing for my arrival. After a fifteen minute cab ride we arrived at Sherlock's house. My mum paid the cabbie and stepped outside the cab. Held under her right arm was a birthday present. We walked to the door, Jane held it open for us.

"Thanks, Jane." I said

"Your welcome Iris, Sherlock is in his room if you were wondering." Jane said closing the door

"Okay." I said as Jane led my mum to the sitting room where the party was being held. I walked to Sherlock's room, the door was open. He was on his bed in his usual thinking position.

"Hello Sherlock." I said knocking on the doorframe

He looked at me, "hello iris." He said smiling

I stepped into the room, he got off his bed and walked over to me, he was wearing his purple shirt.

"Happy birthday." He said looking down at me

"Thank you." I say

"You look tired." He said putting his hand on my shoulder

"Yeah, I couldn't sleep last night I had a terrible backache." I said

"How do you feel now?" He asked concerned

"Fine, my back still hurts a bit, but I'm fine." I reply

"Do you need to sit down, or anything." Sherlock asks

"No, I'm fine, but thanks for asking." I reply

"Are you sure?" Sherlock asks, he looked worried

"Yes I am sure." I say

"Are you absolutely sure?" Sherlock asks

"Yes Sherlock, stop your worrying." I said wrapping my arms around his neck to kiss him. He put his arms around me, as he kissed me back.

I ran my fingers through his black curls, he played with a single curl of my hair not wanting to mess up the rest of it.

He broke the kiss, "I believe it's time for your party." He said grabbing my hand and pulling me towards the sitting room. We walked through the door, there was about ten guests. One of them was my brother Mike, that I hadn't seen for a year.

"Mike!" I exclaim running to him

"Hey little sis!" Mike said

I hugged him, "where have you been mister, explain yourself!" I say looking him in the eye

"I've been in Canada, for work." He said

"Couldn't have bothered to call." I say teasing him

"Sorry" he said

"Have you met my boyfriend, Sherlock?" I ask when I saw that he was standing beside me

"Yeah, I met him shortly before you arrived." Mike said
