Chapter 17: Chapter 17

Alexander North

2 weeks later..

Everything started to fall in place, Jonathan didn’t show his activity much lately and I hate to say that I hate his guts. I looked at my room ceiling and just felt empty.

I've been feeling quite empty these days.. lonely and just empty.. maybe I've used to have Angel around until it made me start to feel weird when she's not around.

I turned to the right and I sighed hating the fact that she’s not here. I straighten up my body and leaned my back to the wall.

Suddenly someone knocked on my door, I looked at my door weirdly because not even my maid dare to knock it. I walked to the door and opened it.

My eyes widen, I can't even believe this. Angel was standing in front of me with a cake on her hand, smiling widely at me. The candle on the cake already been lighted up and she started to sing the happy birthday song.

"Happy Birthday Alex, Happy Birthday Alex.. Happy Birthday Happy Birthdayyyyyy.. Happy Birthday Alex." She smiled widely. I was speechless.

"Happy 29th Birthday Alex, I hope this year will be a really good year for you and everything will start to fall down in place." She said and her eyes twinkled.

"How do you know?"

"I just know." She smirked, "Come on blow the candles but first make a wish!" She squealed. I closed my eyes and make a wish, I really don't know what I wish so I just wish that everything will fall back in place. I blew up the candles and she smiled happily.

I don't even know when was the last time I celebrated my birthday. I never even care about my birthday but today I felt special. She pulled me out and we walked downstairs. My eyes even wide more when I saw all of my friends already sat on the dining table downstairs.

"Happy birthday dude!" Aaron said.

"Happy birthday Ander!" Luke said and I chuckled.

Everyone started to give me a hugs and wishes, I never felt so happy before. A few minutes ago, I was thinking how lonely I am and just feeling empty but I realized I have them in my life is always enough.

"Let's cut the cake!" Angel squealed.

"Good idea." Sophia smiled.

"Angel planned all this." Rose said beside me as I saw Angel and Sophia were talking and looking for a knife.

"So?"

"I don't know if you're stupid or not." Rose stated and I glared at her.

"She went on a date last week with a guy name, Nathan. I saw her and she greeted me." That made my heart boil a little bit but I tried to keep it cool.

"Nathan seems to like her." Rose added.

"I don't care, I even tell her to do that." I said and I heard Rose chuckle.

"Don't care, do you even see your face now?" She left me and I sighed.

"Got it!" Sophia said and Angel went to her, they're busy cutting the cake. They started to put the cake on the plates and passed it to everyone. I saw Angel walked to me and gave me one.

"Happy birthday big boy.." She said and she kissed my cheek, the warmness started to creep my body. I miss it.

"I'm so posting this on my blog." I heard Janet start clicking on her camera.

"If you dare!" I glared at her and she just sticked her tongue out.

"Do whatever you want babe." Sky said and kissed her cheek.

"I'll kill you." I turned to Sky and he just laughed.

"Wanna go party tonight?" Max asked and that when I looked at Angel, I don't know why do I look at her.

"Go.. have fun." Angel said.

"Do you have plans tonight?"

"I have a date with Nathan, uhmm-"

"On my birthday?" That made me boil more than before.

"I- I'm sorry it's- it's just I alre-"

"Whatever, you can go." I cut her even I choked saying that.

"If you want me not to go, I won't." Suddenly she said and I turned to her.

"You can go.. don't forget tomorrow is the day where Aaron's company party."

"Okay." She looked at me with a little hint of hurt on her face.

"Let's party tonight." I stated and the boys raised their thumbs up. Not long after that everyone when home except Angel. She helped Doris to tidy up everything and when she's done she sat beside me on the sofa.

"Alex." She called me and I turned to her raising my eyebrows. She took out a small box from her bag and gave it to me.

"I know it's not that expensive but I kinda design it for you. I don't know if you'll like or not." She said nervously and I opened the box.

It's an A intial necklace, it was in black color and it's a firm letter. She took out the necklace and put it on me. I looked at her as she seriously putting it on me.

"Thankyou, I like it." I said and I really am. This is the first time I receive a gift like this. I looked at the necklace and held it tightly.

"Glad you like it." She smiled.

"I had 2 dates with Nathan, I don't like it." She suddenly stated and I looked at her weirdly.

"Why do you keep on having it?" I asked.

"I don't know."

"You still have 3 dates with me you know." I don't know why I said that but her face lighted up.

"I want to use it for later maybe." She looked at me.

"Why are you acting like this all weird.. I'm not use to have you acting weird like this." I chuckled and she just gave me a light smile.

"Maybe I'm nervous, I have a race tonight." She chuckled.

"I don't like you racing, Angel."

"I'm going back to Los Angeles in 3 days." She stated and my eyes widen.

"Work?"

"Yeah I have photoshoot and script reading for a new movie."

"That must be exciting." I said and she chuckled.

"I won't come here to New York for full 2 months."

"Are you sad?"

"Yes and a no." She stated.

"You'll be fine, it's just your regular activity.. I'll call you when I need you." I said and she nodded.

"I think I'll miss you." I looked at her speechless.
