I don't know, why are others happy every birthday? Coz me, why can't I feel it? I feel like I have no appetite. I don’t want to get out of bed.I'm so lazy today.
I leaned over and looked at my cellphone. No calls and text from my family. Don't they know it's my birthday today?
Hello? No father and mother can forget their daughter's birthday! But suddenly my phone beep. Natalia's name pops out.
Natalia was the first to greet me today. I also don’t know if Clinton knew it was my birthday today because sometimes I didn’t say about myself.
I replied to Natalia that it was okay. She has always been with me on my birthday for many years.
I'm not the type to prepare for my birthday. No balloons, no cakes, no gifts. My celebration is always at the bar. I treat my friend but now, I don’t feel.
I decided to text Clinton.
To Clinton: Good morning.
Until a few more minutes I lay on the bed and no reply was received decided to get up. I pulled my own hair while going to the bathroom.
After I dressed at home, I headed to the dining area. I made my coffee and went online on my cellphone.
I stumbled upon a site selling tickets online. It's worth twelve thousand for one ticket formy favorite singee concert in the open field at MOA tonight! Twelve thousand for VIP in front of the stage!
What the hell!
I immediately texted ticketnet to get two and I just sent my payment. While having my coffee I decided to call mama.
I dialed her number and a few more rings before she answered.
I smiled.
"Hello ma!" I exclaimed happily.
"Kylie.." she seriously said.
I'm pissed. Won't she greet me? "Hmm, what's your gift for me mah?" I would have added when she spoke.
"I'll call you later hija, we're so busy. It's Claudette's birthday tomorrow. I'm busy for the celebration." she immediately turned off the call.
What the fuck?
My lips trembled and my hand seemed to lose strength as I let go of the cellphone.
But it's my birthday today!
I sighed heavily and tried to call papa. I called h and he answered immediately.
"Dad-"
"I'm in the middle of the meeting daughter." He immediately cut me off.
My tears rolled down my cheeks.
"Dad, I-I need" my heart ached like it was being squeezed. It hurts.
"You need money ?Okay, I'll send six digits to your account and happy birhday . "my heart jumped at the last word he said. Even though the tears were dripping, there was still a smile on my face.
"Thanks dad. I love you."
"I love you too take care please." he said to me.
"I will dad."
All night I could only think of Clinton so I called him. I plan to bring him later in the concert.
A few rings before he answered.
"Yes, baby?"
I don’t know what to feel. Doesn't he really know it's my birthday?
"Hmm, where are you?"
"I just woke up. I'm sorry. "It was obvious in his voice.
"Can we go out tonight?"
"Sure! Wait, did you eat?"
"Nope, just coffee."
He groaned. "Fix yourself, let's eat somewhere."
I smiled widely with excitement.
"Really ?!"
"Ofcourse, faster please. I'll wait for you downstairs?"
"Okay."
He's so sweet! Besides, even though he's cold with me, he behaves differently!
After all I was getting ready. I am wearing a simple white shirt and a faded short. I paired it with white sneakers. I Put powder on face and liptint on the lips.
Maybe my birthday will be happy somehow. As I went down, my chest throbbed harder. I was so excited . After descending, I came out of the building and welcomed by the heat of the sun.
And then there I saw a black car parked on the side . The frontseat door opened then.
Even though I was nervous, I was able to smile because I knew he was staring at me. Upon entering, I immediately felt the cold but the heat immediately enveloped me when Clinton hugged me.
His smell attacked my nose immediately. He was very masculine .
"How's my baby?" his voice tickled my ear. His arms wrapped around me.
"I’m okay, about you?"
"I missed you." he answer.
"You're flattering. Then you'll miss me right away?"
He caressed my face. "It's not my fault if I've been looking for you for hours. I'm so addicted to you."
What the hell !
"Chee! Come on! I'm hungry." I whimpered but he hugged me.
Clinton is wearing a black shirt and gray pants. Effortless ,handsome. His dragon tattooed shoulders were now visible because there was no more cloth covering there.
"Kiss me first." He said so I laughed.
I moved so I could kiss him properly. I cupped both his cheeks to kiss him but before our lips met, he turned my neck into a deep kiss. Even his tongue entered my lips immediately.
I shivered when his other hand cupped my butt cheeks. Damn it.
From my seat , his hand crawled to my legs as he kissed me passionately. I managed to kiss back with the same intensity.
"Damn it.You're so irresistible." He said breathlessly.
I bit my lip because when he said that. During the ride and up to the mall, a smile was already posted on my face. He made my day.
We ate to a restaurant. Until we went to the mall.
While in the jewelries section we met Berna.
My forehead creased. I've noticed for months that Clinton no longer pays attention to Berna.
It was then that I sometimes saw them and I was even jealous. That's why I bullied her. I noticed because she just pretends to be poor and nerd but inside she’s an insecure bitch.
When we met, my eyes were already focused on Berna. I saw her shocked when Clinton saw her. She even stopped walking.
I rolled my eyes. She's too obvious. She's wearing a dress and a sandals. She doesn't have eyesglasses anymore. Now her hair is loose. Why the sudden change huh?
Clinton saw her but it seems nothing to him. He is just straight and holding my waist. When we got close she suddenly tripped dnd even grabbed Clinton's arm!
My forehead furrowed. Clinton held her arm.
"Hey, are you okay?" he asked Berna.
"Ugh! I think my ankle is sprained!"
But I don't believe it.
"Can you just walk right?" I said.
She shooked her head. "No .. it hurts."
I rolled my eyes. Clinton turned to me.
"Baby I'll just take her outside."
"What ?!" I hissed annoyingly.
"I didn't bring my car. Please take me." said Berna who still clings to Clinton.
Clinton seems so worried.
"Okay." he sighed. "We'll deliver you."
I exploded in anger. "What? Why do we have to take her home? She's not a child anymore ! She's even older then me! " I rant.
Berna's cheek immediately turned red.
"Nicole, tone down you voice. You're making a scene!" Clinton scolded me.
So always? He always defends Berna!
"Me ? Still me? "I pointed to myself." I am not the one who is making a scene here! She makes herself twitch there to grab attention! It's our date Clinton! She ruined it! "
And its my fucking birthday!
Clinton gasped and close his eyes.
"It really hurts." and now Berna's crying.
"Okay, I'll drive you home."
Anger flared up in me when I heard that. So are they really close huh?
"Okay! You bring her! I'll walk alone! And you'll never come near me again from now on!" I cried holding back the tears because I was in so much pain.
"Nicole." he protested but I immediately ran out.
