Chapter 59: Chapter 59
I help Sean get dressed, I don’t want him to sound too formal it’s just a birthday party, wearing black jeans, a linen shirt then a dark blue body fit suit, he chooses to wear my favorite hermes belt, it looks like whatever he wears will stay looks handsome, even when he is not wearing anything he looks very seductive. Sean returned to his wall in closet and took something after that it was back in front of me.
“You’re missing something,” he said, in his hand was a bright blue box at the top of the lid that said Stuart Weitzman, and I knew this was another expensive item. I opened the lid of the box, my eyes glaring at a pair of beautiful white stilettos studded with jewels on the surface of the small straps inside the box.
He then took the expensive thing out of the box, then he told me to sit on the dresser chair and help me put it on. He smiled at my feet wearing the thing then looked at me.
“You’re ready now,” he assured, then took the shoes he was going to wear in his wall in closet and put them on, after which we left the room.
“Wouw! You guys are really compatible,” said Caroline, her gaze sparkled, Rani pouted her lips at us, Sean snorted when he looked at his brother, I know that the relationship between brother and sister is unique. Rani always tries to interfere in her sister’s life with good intentions, but sometimes she overdoes it. Rani and Caroline left together, before we left Sean asked me to dance in the middle of the room. Sean twists me under his hands twice then lifts me up, twists me under his arm, I close my eyes screaming and laughing, when my feet return to the floor we kiss near the balcony door of the living room, the view of the evening sky is dark orange, dark purple, blue and black it adds to the beautiful atmosphere on this day.
Sean took my hand out of the apartment, we got into the elevator.
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ANAAAA!!”
I was surprised when everyone gathered in the living room and greeted me by shouting happy birthday, my friends from management also came, Benjamin, Peter, Jessica, Rebecca, Edward and Ramona even Eden and his wife were also here, oh, God! It must have been Caroline who invited them, this was a complete surprise. I looked at all of them with feelings of emotion, my mother was the first to approach me and gave me a hug, she was crying. “Well, my mother is indeed a melancholic woman,” My Inner Goddess rolled her eyes in a rebuke. Caroline became the second person to come to me and congratulate me, I love this hug, a special hug of a Caroline Cortez, she kissed my cheeks just like my mom did.
“My sister in crime,” he said with a sly smile of a million meanings and I tried to imitate his smile and we laughed together, he was always there for me. When it was Ronald’s turn to hug me, the man seemed to want to crush me. It was a special hug. A Ronald Cortez.
“If you want to leave your husband someday, I’ll be right here waiting for you,” he whispers in my ear,
I looked at him with a glaring look at me then, placing a fist on his chest, he groaned then laughed, I snorted then he hugged me back.
“Always, Ariana, always.” I just smiled in response to his words, does he still have that feeling?? My Inner Goddess looked at me with a very firm ‘of course-she-still-likes you’ look my senses contemplated it like something a little unsettling, after that she let me go today is the day to hug Ariana, everyone hugs me congratulating even my father-in-law also here. Mama Ramia brought a round birthday cake, the whole cake was covered with chocolate, there was white cream in the shape of a small flower around the edges, on top of the cream there were pieces of cherry, kiwi, strawberry, and orange, in the middle was written my name and happy birthday The number 25 candle completes this cake. Before I blow out the candle, I close my eyes and say my wish in my heart, everyone applauds when the fire in the candle goes out, Sean who is near me kisses one of my cheeks and whispers his love words to me, my heart swells with happy feelings My Inner Goddess covers half her shy face with her peacock feather fan.
A small round table is used to put my birthday cake, then I have to go through the next procession, cutting the cake and distributing it to the people around me. First cut to my greatest woman, my mama, I warned her not to cry with my eyes, oh my whiny mama but I love her so much. The second piece of cake for Caroline, she flashed a smile advertising her toothpaste when I handed her my second piece of cake, then the third piece for Ronald, he’s one of the special people for me, although lately we rarely see each other because of each other’s busyness, but our togetherness from childhood until now has made me have the figure of an older brother that I need. The fourth cake for mama Ramia and dad Jariz, my mother-in-law gave me a funny kiss bye so I giggled in amusement. After that the next cake for Rani, both hands cupped my face and then kissed my forehead.
“I know you will complete our family, honey,” he said and it brought a feeling of emotion inside of me, tears prickling the back of my eyes, and a final cut to my most beloved man in the whole world. I looked at Sean with a piece of cake in my hand.
“The last cake for my first favorite man in the world,” I said while looking at him with my happy smile. Her golden nets glowed lovingly, her lips fell on mine crushing me and sucking her, like it was a must for her, someone whistled, and I knew it must be Caroline that woman sometimes had a wild and shameless attitude. Ronald covered his face with his hands looking at his sister’s behavior, I laughed amused seeing the two of them.
Music was playing from a loudspeaker that was big enough and hooked up by someone’s ipod, I don’t know who it might be Rani or Caroline, Westlife’s More Than Words sounded. My father and mother-in-law seemed to be dancing, I smiled at the couple who were no longer young, but I could feel the love radiating from both of them. Rani dances with Sean they seem to be having a serious conversation I want to know, my Inner Goddess looks at me with a rebuke look, my senses stomping their feet in disapproval, my curious mode is here. Benjamin dispelled my gaze that looked at Sean and Rani, his sweet smile distracting me I smiled back.
“Dance with me, Ana.” He held out his hand and I had a moment of deja vu, we used to practice the choreography together, I accepted his outstretched hand and he led me slightly to the center of the room, joining the other couples who were dancing. We talked about the funniest things we had together during choreography practice with other dancers, I laughed when Benjamin told me about Peter messing up rehearsals with his silly free moves with Edward, these two guys are really good at making messes up during choreography practice, and Benjamin was always overwhelmed by the actions of these two. The song changed, there was a beat from David Guetta’s Play Hard. Peter and Edward reacted with their moves, Benjamin and I laughed as did Rebecca, Caroline and Rani. They both managed to entertain us with laughter, but on the other hand they are very compact. Eden approached me with his wife Carmen.
“I see, you’re starting to get over your relationship.” Eden smiled, I chuckled he was the first person I went to before I married Sean and asked him for advice.
“Yeah, it was nice to meet you that day, too bad Carmen wasn’t with us at the time.” I looked at Carmen with my sad eyes, they are a couple who get along and rarely have problems they are blessed with two twins which they are currently keeping temporarily at Carmen’s parents’ house.
“How are Glen and Gwen??”
Their two children are very cute and adorable, it is not uncommon for the child to come to the cafe.
“They miss you, especially Gwen, every time she goes to the cafe she will ask you, stop by tomorrow if you have time, they will both be very happy to see you.” Carmen looks at me pleadingly, I nod enthusiastically tomorrow after work I’ll stop by.
When all the guests had left, I looked for Sean’s whereabouts, my eyes caught his figure walking into the house to the living room, without waiting for me to follow him, he was on a call with someone.
