Arabella's POV

I woke up feeling like I was floating on clouds, light streaming through the windows onto my back. Groaning and pulling the duvet over my head groaning. Suddenly a knock came through the wooden door.

"Ugh hello, how can I help you?" I asked, my voice muffled by the pillow pressed against my face.

"Well good morning Belle, I am waking you up as it is 9am, and we have your birthday to celebrate. Can I come in?" Xavier asked through the door, with a slight giggle in his voice.

"Uh, yeah sure, let me come and unlock the door for you." I said whilst swinging my legs over the bed onto the cold wooden floor. Slipping on a robe I got out of the closet, which just happens to be a Victoria secret robe.

Unlocking the door, I am greeted with a fully suited Xavier smiling down at me. Coughing I brought his attention from my bare legs to my body.

"Hey, happy birthday Belle, come on get dressed we have to celebrate your birthday. Forget about going to the hospital and change into something smart. Go the wardrobe on the left of the door and pick an outfit out of there. See you downstairs, beautiful." He said to me, before kissing my check and turning to walk away.

Laughing to myself, I walked into the walking in wardrobe, and looking to the left. I gasped at the sight in front of me. There was so many beautiful dresses in front of my eyes. I looked for a good five minutes trying to decide which dress I should choose. "Well, seeing as Xavi was in a suit I think I will go for this one." I whispered to myself.

Placing the dress on my bed I went looking for some shoes. "Mmm I think I will go for these" I said whilst pulling out these cute 4-inch pale pink heels to match the dress.

Quickly going to the bathroom and doing my business I sat down at the dresser and started to play with different hair styles. Deciding to go with a simple up do and simple makeup. Getting up from the dresser, I walk to the closet to get some underwear. I pull out some Victoria secret pants and bra. Quickly sliding them on, I skip over to the bed and sliding on the beautiful dress I found.

The dress is a simple knee length pale pink dress which has lace all over it and a nice corset back to it. Sliding it on, and struggling to tie it up at the back I look around for help, deciding to go and find Xavier I walked out of my room and to his door.

Knocking lightly, and trying to listen through the door. "Xavi, are you in there? I need some help with my dress, I need..." Hearing shuffling around the room I stopped talking.

"Belle, are you okay? What can I help you with, come inside my room." Xavier said whilst turning to the side, letting me inside his room.

Looking around his room in awe, I completely forgot that I came in here to get his help, and well, I also forgot his presence. Well that was until he hugged me from the back.

"Belle, what do you need me to do? I'll do anything for you, name it and I'll do it." His breath tickled my neck as he back hugged me.

"Uh, would you be able to tie my dress up for me? I love this dress but I cannot tie it up." I said whilst walking forward waiting for him to tie the dress.

Slowly he moved his hands from my shoulders down to my waist and slowly started to tie my corset up.

"There you are, done. Did I tell you how beautiful you look? Huh birthday girl, you look divine." He said whilst looking at me as if he is trying to memorise every inch of me.

"Well, thank you Xavi, we better get downstairs now" I blushed slightly as I started to turn around, not forgetting to kiss his cheek.

As we walked out of his room he offered me his hand, I looked at it for a few seconds before taking it.

"Xavi, I don't think we should be doing this" I looked down at our hands. "But I can't help myself, it just feels so right Xavi, I just broke up with my ex last night, but with you I feel like we've know each other for ever. And well, it just feels so right."

"Well, Belle, I feel the exact same as you, but I want to keep carrying on." He said whilst smiling at our joined hands.

"Come on, we need to go greet everyone, before it turns to the evening." He said whilst dragging me to a flight of stairs.
