Reaching upstairs, he hurled me inside his room and closed the door harshly. I stood there shaking with fear. He looked scary. Extremely scary.
He tilted his head, forming an evil grin on his face. I couldn't move. I...

"I can believe you got all dressed up just to fool me."
"Last time our acting didn't fool you. It kinda hurt our ego. So we put in our everything this time." Oliver chuckled.
"Such drama queeeaaahhhh"
My toe hit something lying beneath the sea of balloons and I tripped. My flip flops flew high in the air. One landed on Toby's head while the other on Oliver's. I prepared to get a few of my bones broken but surprisingly, I was alright.
"I hope you had a safe landing ma'am." A velvety voice spoke from under me.
My floor speaks? My floor has hands wrapped around me?
As long as my floor is Rafael, yes!
"Happy birthday senorita." He kissed me on the forehead.
"Was this all planned?"
"Happy birthday senorita." He repeated.
The corners of my lips lifted up and I felt my cheeks heating up. "Thank you Rafael."
"Now tell me. Did you really plan to trip me on my birthday?"

"Now I am." He grinned, looking at my hand over his shoulder.
The twins looked away awkwardly and Oliver rolled his eyes at his best friend.
"Took you long enough to wish her." The grandpa commented, disapproval etched on his face.
"Look what we have here for you." Toby chimed in quickly, gesturing his hands at the bed where there was a...
"Holy guacamole!"
My hands flew to my mouth and I was on the verge of tears. It was a short black glitter cami dress. I can't believe this! Over the dress was a note along with a rose.
Happy birthday kiddo! - Masey.
The small note fell down from my trembling hands and my heart beat shot up like crazy.
