My alarm goes off, and I'm jumping out of bed. Today is a day that I've been looking forward to in more ways than one. Hannah's birthday is today, and I've got a really good gift for her. They're the movie tickets from the first date we've ever been on.

I've had them placed into a locket on one side, and a small picture of us that we took on that night in the same locket. It's not the most extravagant gift, but it's something that means a lot to me... And I know that night means a lot for Hannah.

It was when we started to really get interested in each other. Before I can distract myself with the locket anymore than I am, I gently place it back in its case and hide it in my sock drawer.

"Mom shouldn't be up yet... Meaning I can make my way over to Hannah's house..."

It doesn't take me long to get in the shower and get all cleaned up. I'm meeting Hannah outside her house, and we're taking off for the day. Her parents have a big party planned for tonight, but I get the day with her.

We're going to go do stuff that we haven't got to do yet. I'm looking forward to how good she is at bowling. I've managed to get custom bowling shoes for my foot size.

The last thing I grab before leaving the house is my gift for Hannah. Both our lives are changing, and I'm excited for the next chapter in our lives.

Today is the day... Today is my 18th birthday and the day that Ulysses and I will finally have sex!! It's been a long time coming. And there isn't anything that's going to ruin it.

Ulysses doesn't know this, but instead of going bowling and doing our other planned activities for today, I'm taking him to a hotel...

We're going to be spending the whole day, or for as long as we can go on, doing what I've been waiting to do. Ulysses hasn't pressured me, and he hasn't been in a rush. In all honesty, I know he's been afraid to cross that line with me.

He's far larger than the average man, and he's got a weapon in his pants that match his impressive height and build. He's a physical specimen that only comes around every 50 to 100 years... According to ESPN...

After his speech during Graduation, the only thing I can think about anymore is Ulysses. He's my soulmate... He's always treating me the way he should... The way he wants to be treated...

Ellie outdid herself in raising him, and if anyone deserves mother of the year, it's Ellie. My own parents aren't people that I'm happy with... In fact, I'm on the verge of moving out...

They're trying to control my life... They even tried to stop me from seeing Ulysses any more. That was the day I flipped my shit on them, and they've left the subject alone since. But I can tell that they're not going to stay silent for long.

My attention is taken as I see myself in the mirror. I look perfect for today, and I know Ulysses loves it when I don't wear makeup. But today, I put on just a little bit.

"Ulysses Kennedy... You're in for a surprise today!"

I can't help cheering myself on from the mirror, and my excitement is just as high as my nervousness... My first time is going to hurt... Taking something that big... But it's an eventuality... And the zero pressure from Ulysses has made it really easy.

After a few more minutes, my phone goes off, and it's a text from Ulysses telling me he's waiting outside. I'm the one driving my car, and this is the way that I've planned it.

I make my way to the front door and gently open it, and do the same, closing it. As I turn around, I see him waving from the driveway, and I can't help but feel butterflies in my stomach. I run down the steps, and I leap into his arms and body.

He catches me like I'm light as a feather and gives me a hug that only Ulysses can give.

"Happy 18th birthday, Hannah!"

He spins me around like a princess in his arms! It makes me feel like I could die from happiness!!
