Chapter 0048 David put his hands up , ready to catch me , and I allowed myself to fall forward into his arms .
He caught me and held me firmly against his chest , laughing slightly .
You see , you are drunk , he said .
I told you .
I You must be right , I replied , avoiding his eyes so that he wouldnt see my own amusement .

I guess I should .
head to bed .
Dont worry , he said .
Ill help you up the stairs .
I didnt argue as he put his arm around my waist and led me up the staircase .
We passed the door to Amandas room on the way to ours .
I wondered if she was inside already , waiting for him .
The door was closed , so there was no way for me to tell .
David walked me into our room , and I went directly to the bed and threw myself down on my stomach .
Come on , Ill help you get cleaned up , he said , but I didnt respond .
I closed my eyes and let my breathing become heavy .
Ella , he called out .
Are you asleep ? I didnt respond , but I could sense him coming closer and looking at my face .
Passed out already , he muttered .
Good I listened as he moved around the room for a few moments , then the door opened and closed .
I waited a few moments longer to make sure that I was really alone , then I stood up .
As I suspected , David was nowhere to be found .
My heart began to race as I realized that it was finally time to enact my plan .
I checked the time it was five minutes to midnight .
I took a few deep breaths to calm myself , then went toward the head of the stairs where Elizabeth and the others were supposed to meet me .
Elizabeth and over a dozen of the other guests were waiting for me just as we had planned .
They were holding all of the items I had asked Alexander to have brought to the house for me : balloons , a large bouquet of flowers , a cake decorated in Amandas favorite colors , and several small gift bags filled with items that I knew she would love It looks like everythings ready , I said , smiling with excitement .
Is David coming ? Elizabeth asked .
Im not sure where he is , I said .
He came to the room with me , but he left when I dozed off .
I can text him to join us , but Im too excited to wait on him .
I pulled my phone off and sent David a short text asking where he went .
I was sure that he would ignore the message if he really was with Amanda .
I dont feel the need to wait either .
Amandas going to be so surprised , Elizabeth said .
I really hope so , I replied .
I looked at the time .
Im not sure if I can wait until the stroke of midnight , I said .
Itll be more of a surprise if its a little early , right ? one of the girls chimed in , Lets just go now .
I thought for a moment enough time should have passed for David to make his way into her room .
+25 BONUS I nodded in agreement .
Okay , everyone , quiet until we open the door .
Iled the group silently down the hall to Amandas door .
I gripped the handle and tested it carefully , it was unlocked .
Then I turned to the group and held up three fingers , lowering them slowly one by one When all of my fingers were lowered , I threw the door open , and all of us screamed in unison .
Surprise ! Happy birthday ! Before the words had even fully left our mouths , I could hear people around me gasping and crying out in shock at the sight before us .
It was exactly as I had hoped .
David and Amanda were on the bed ; he was on top of her , and her legs were wrapped around him They were both staring at the doorway in horror , and from their expressions , there was no mistaking what was happening We had caught them in the act .
