Now that I was certain that I’ve somehow travelled in to the future and this seemed to be my house, I decided that I was going to enjoy my birthday in 2018, so I opened the wardrobe. It was amazing! I don’t think I’ve ever seen this many clothes in my life. I picked a lovely pink dress and rosy sandals to wear.
Nervously I went down the stairs, and found the sitting room just opposite the stairs.
After a while the two little girls from the photograph came running towards me, shouting “happy birthday mummy” I turned around and look behind me because I thought they were talking to someone else, but they came and hugged me! I was so shocked I didn’t know what to say! I just said thank you as they handed a big box to me.
The cute guy from the picture came in to the room with four boxes wrapped and a few letters which seemed to be business letters. “Happy birthday, darling” he said as he bent over to give me a kiss on my lips.
“Aww... Thank you” I said
I opened the presents and I tried to read the name on the top of the business letters the he held in his hands. I managed to read the name, it said Ben James… O my gosh! I’m married to Ben James from school! He used to be a loser in school! This shows how much people change when they grow up.
I stared at Ben in disbelief!
“Kell, Kelly” Ben said
“O, sorry” I said smiling
“I have to leave for work; Joe’s picking me up in five minutes”
“Joe” I thought loudly
“yes… the driver” said Ben
“course… sorry”
“stop apologising honey” he kissed me and said bye
Ben left and I went around the house and every time someone saw me they’d say; “morning ma’am” and I kept thinking they were talking to someone else so I kept looking around to see who they were talking to.
As I was walking and looking around someone came up to me and said; “Ma’am you’re mother is on the phone for you”
“thank you” I said and tried to figure out where the phone was without making it too obvious.
After twenty minutes talking on the phone to my mum, I felt that my ear was half cooked; she carried on talking none stop, and all she wanted to say was “happy birthday darling.”
Later I saw my best friend and I was surprised that we were still best friends.
“Happy birthday, kell” she said handing her present to me
I grabbed her hand and took her upstairs to tell her everything.
“that’s impossible honey” she said
After forty minutes of re talking to her tying to tell her everything from the start she believed me. I told her that I didn’t know where I was and things like I didn’t know what’s the name of the two little girls who seemed to be my daughters.
She told me that I was in London.
“We both moved here because of our jobs and you’re a well known interior designer.”
She also explained to me how I met Ben and fell in love with him and what the little girls are called Lizzy and Lucy and Lizzy is 5 and Lucy is 3, and I’m suppose to be going to a posh party tonight.
I and Annie got ready after two hours and Ben got back home from work and he got ready surprisingly quickly and we left in a LIMO!
The limo stopped in front of a big house. “Why are we stopping here?” I asked Annie
“To get James… my boyfriend” she said
“O right”
“Honey is everything ok?” Ben asked
“Course, why shouldn’t it be?” I looked at him and smiled.
While we were in the limo I noticed that I was surrounded by people who love me for who I am and I thought that was very special. I felt happy with who I am for the first time in my life.
After waiting for about ten minutes James came in with a wrapped box.
“Sorry I’m late” he said “Heya kell, this is for you” he handed over a box to me. “Go ahead open it” he said
“Aww thank you” I said “It’s gorgeous!” it was a lovely necklace
We were having a superb time at the party, dancing to lovely music, eating fabulous food and drinking plenty of red wine and champagne, everything about this crazy experience was perfect.
The perfect evening was made even better when James asked Annie to marry him! And I was wishing that I could relieve the day that Ben asked me to marry him.
I woke up and it was really weird because I could hardly open my eues and I couldn’t see clearly. I tried to open my eyes and I di but only a little I didn’t know where I was I mean I wasn’t in my room in 2006 and I wasn’t in my room in 2018. Does that mean that I have travelled in time again? I looked around and there were three nurses standing next to my bed.
“Where am I?” I said
“I’m sorry honey, you had an accident last night” the nurse said
“Where’s Annie?” I said
“I’m here.” Annie replied, holding a blanket very tightly.
I looked around and I saw James standing next to her, also holding a blanket tightly
“Your husband is having an operation” one of the nurses said “he’s going to be fine. You have nothing to worry about.”
After waiting what seemed a few hours the nurses brought Ben in my room. I was speechless when I saw him, his face was bruised and he could hardly talk.
“They can leave next week.” I heard the doctor telling Annie and James.
I closed my eyes thinking that I was very lucky. Even though bad things happen in life we can’t just sit somewhere and worry; we only live once and we should try and enjoy it.
