Blood Ties (DrTrollinski & Soul OMU)

"Thanks, mom." He smiled. Brandon handed him one of the presents and he opened it up, going bright red in embarassment as he quickly hid them in his lap. It was a box of condoms.


"Figured you'd need those for later." He said with a wink and grin. He had one more present to open, though.


"What were those?" George asked.


"Nothing." Brandon said quickly. (@Soul OMU)
 
".. Okay." He smiled and took the balloons and opened them up; he pulled one blue one out and started blowing it up gradually.


Cole opened up the second box that was given to him by Brandon and then looked inside at a small black box. In curiosity he opened it up and pulled out a small silver chain. It looked very nice, and it was very high quality. Cole smiled and reached across the table to pat his hand. ".. Thanks, dad." He said as he put the chain around his neck and clipped it into place, smiling a little. He then looked over at Miranda. ".. So, mom, did you forget about my birthday this year?" He joked with a chuckle and wink. (@Soul OMU)
 
Cole took it from her and held it on the table in front of him, slowly tearing away the gift wrap to look at the gift that rested underneath it, smiling as he did so. (@Soul OMU)
 
".. That's great, mom. Thanks." He smiled. The Samsung Galaxy S5 - The phone he'd been waiting for for so long. He'd had a few birthday cards come in the post, but no one had seen that yet. He took the money from the box and smiled as he tucked it into his pocket and went around to hug her. ".. Thanks, mom." He smiled, then he went and thanked Brandon. "You too, old man." He said, Brandon laughed and pulled him down, grinding the top of his head with his knuckles.


"You're only half my age, so don't push it." He laughed and then let him go. Cole stood up and grinned as he stretched his back. "Shall we all go into the living room so that Cole can open up the rest of his presents?" Brandon suggested. (@Soul OMU)
 
They all went into the living room and went through the rest of Cole's presents. He was happy with everything he got - The PS4 with the stack of games, the new clothes, and other stuff such as fancy cologne and other toiletry products such as a nice new electronic razor as well as a proper shaving razor as well. He liked all of the stuff he got, and he thanked them all for everything so far.


Now it was time for the biggest gift.


Brandon lead them all out back and to the back of the garage.


"What's going on?" Cole asked with one eyebrow raised. George was grinning like mad, and Cole had a good idea at what he was going to be expecting. He was expecting some really cheap car, but what he got was a surprise. As they walked in, he saw a car on the left. A new one - at first he thought it was a prank, but then he realized something, when Brandon gave him that look a wild smile lit up his face and his heart started beating like crazy as his dad held out the BMW M5 Saloon keys. He ran over to it and instantly unlocked it by pressing a button on the key. He climbed inside and slowly looked around the car. Ah. That nice 'new car smell.'

It had every available feature. A temperature control on the driver's wheel, air con on all seats, reversing assistance camera, a built in TV in the front and back, internet access, extra safety mechanisms. Everything. (Everything can be viewed here @Soul OMU)
 
".. I can't believe you got me a car." He laughed in sheer amazement and then looked at the two kids. ".. Tell you what, guys... If I'm not too hungover tomorrow morning, I'll take you for a spin in my car and we'll go out and see a movie, then we'll go and get some McDonald's for dinner. How's that sound?" He asked. George instantly jumped on the spot and hugged him again.


"That'd be awesome!" He grinned and snuggled him for a few minutes. (@Soul OMU)
 
(Mind if I hold a short time-skip to later on during the day so we can get the party started? @Soul OMU)
 
As the day went on, Cole spent a while on the phone to Lexie talking about his birthday so far, and the awesome car he got that he and her could go cruising around the town in at some point. He spent the rest of his day spending time with George and Olivia, as well as getting his PS4 set up and playing a few games on it - it had been an awesome day so far. He left George and Olivia alone in his bedroom playing 'inFamous: Second Son' at one point while he went and took a shower and then got changed back into his clothes.


While the day continued, Brandon had dragged the old gas-fueled grill out of the garage and dragged it over to the edge of the patio; he also got a table from the garage that they used when they had barbecues during the summer, and left that there so he could put food and drinks down on it when he needed to - right now he was just giving the barbecue grill a scrub-down so that it was all clean and good to go when they wanted to cook the food. He'd gone out the night before and got all of the food they were going to need, as well as plenty of beers and other types of alcohol alongside five coolers with dozens of bags of ice - they could put them all in that when they were outside later on. He'd given all of the salad stuff to Miranda to prepare - this was going to be a great birthday barbecue, without a doubt.

A few hours later in the early afternoon, at around two o'clock, he expected that someone would be arriving soon. It may have been early, but he was expecting some people to show up now. He was one of the more popular people in school, so he knew that quite a few people were going to come early. The first person he expected to arrive was Lexie, but George said he was on door-duty, and he was waiting right beside the door on a little chair while watching videos on his father's iPad - He was waiting, and when he heard the first knock he'd be able to let them in right away. (@Soul OMU)
 
Lexie currently staring at her gift for Cole and sighs, running a hand through her hair since she's a bit disappointed with herself since she wishes she could have gotten him something better instead of making it with parts that she had gotten from the garage she worked at and the junkyard. She was even debating on showing up since she knew a lot of Cole's other friends and they were bound to have a lot cooler presents for him. She had heard from him what he got from his family and sighed as she wiped her forehead and continued to work on her present.


Olivia upstairs in her room, playing with balloons that she blew up and tied herself, humming happily.


Miranda currently getting the food and snacks ready inside while Brandon barbecues. (@DrTrollinski)
 
Brandon dashed back inside and went to the storage unit under the stairs and pulled out a stereo - he went back outside and plugged in the stereo by leading the cable through an open window, and then put it down on the bench that was just outside and under the window, anyway. He started playing some music after tossing in the 'Top Country Singles' CD - There was a bit of everything on there, Keith Urban, Miranda Lambert, Hunter Hayes, Eric Church, and many other artists. He was playing it at a moderate volume, for now.


Cole was lying on his bed - He'd set up his new contract phone and added all of his old contacts onto it. He didn't know what sort of phone Lexie had, but he knew she had one somewhere seeing as he invited her to his party via text. He flicked through some of the apps on his phone and simply smiled - this was the phone he'd been waiting all year for. It was awesome. He got up his contact of 'Lexie' and hit the 'message' button on the screen.


'Hey, Lex. When u gonna' be here?' He texted her. (@Soul OMU)
 
Lexie hears her phone buzz and rolls out from under what she's working on. She gets up and picks up her slide phone and checks her messages and reads over Cole's before typing a reply. 'Oh you know... At some point.' She wrote before getting back to work, listening to her radio as she works. (@DrTrollinski)
 
'Oh, okay. I hope to see you at some point soon - No one else is here just yet, it's still early :P I'll show you some of my stuff once you get here.' He texted back, lying back on his bed and putting his arms behind his head while taking a deep breath and smiling a little. (@Soul OMU)
 
George was still sat by the door, waiting for someone to come knocking. He was quite happily watching YouTube videos from his favorite uploaders, though, so he'd keep entertained while he waited for someone to knock on the door. He was ready to be straight on it as soon as he heard even the slightest tap, and his excitement was overflowing.


Brandon was now sat down on a lounger on the wooding decking beside the barbecue and was simply enjoying the sunlight while he sipped on an ice cold beer. He wasn't going to start cooking until most of the people had got here - they had enough food to serve a small army, and he also took the liberty of buying a load of towels for people that decided to go for a nighttime swim. (@Soul OMU)
 
George instantly sprung up from his seat and went to the door, quickly swinging it open and shyly smiling at the people who had knocked. He didn't really know any of them, but he'd sometimes seen Cole walking out of school with them, and so on.


"Hi." He said simply, trying to appear as friendly as he possibly could. He didn't know that this girl was the one who was mean to Olivia, but if he ever found out... (@Soul OMU)
