Hollow

Fifty Two | Sweat

I wake up to the sound loud music and I let out a groan when my eyes land on the culprit. Killian is smiling at me with a speaker in one hand and his phone in the other, recording.

"Go shawty, it's your birthday! We gone party like it's your birthday! We gone sip Bacardi like it's your bir—"

I yawn and sit up, glaring at him as I stretch. He lowers the volume before turning back to me. "Aren't you a ray of sunshine today."

"Feliz compleaños." I wrap my arms around him, pulling him into a hug.

"Happy birthday, my love." He presses a kiss to my cheek making me let out a chuckle as he begins to leave a trail of kisses down to my jaw and neck before venturing back up. "Now get your ass up. I have a lot planned for us."

"Like what? Birthday sex?" I snort.

"Don't give me ideas." He places a ghost peck on my lips before standing up and heading towards the bathroom.

Getting out of bed, I pull on my slides and stroll out of the bedroom. I walk into the living room to the lounge area and grab the bags with Killian's gift when my phone vibrates in my hoodie's pocket. Stepping into the kitchen, I drop the bags on the table and reach for my phone, grinning when I notice it's a facetime call from Navid.

"Hey, what's up?" I greet as I settle in one of the chairs.

"Aren't you happy today." He says, grinning from ear to ear.

I'm about to reply when I hear loud footsteps walking down the stairs. Killian strolls into the kitchen and walks over to me, placing a quick kiss on my temple before sitting in the chair next to mine. "What can I say, it's a beautiful today."

"Is that Zahra? Happy birthday, little one!" Tate says as he pocks his head in front of Navid, Alex pulling up behind him. "And happy birthday Killian!" Alex adds.

Navid chuckles, shaking his head slowly as the duo walks away. "Listen, we have a meeting in a few, we were just calling to wish you guys a happy birthday. Hope you like the gifts."

"Thank you guys!"

He winks before cutting the call. I turn to Killian who's scrolling on his phone while eating from a Nutella jar in front of him. I slide the bags to him and he looks up with a frown. He takes one of the bag hesitantly, pulling the wrapped gift out of the bag. He unwraps it and opens the box, letting out a chuckle as he holds the small yacht in his hands.

"The bigger version is waiting for you." I smile, chuckling at his confused state.

A few days ago, while debating on what to get Killian for his birthday, I asked his friends and family what I could get him and they all told me I should just wing it. That didn't really give me a lot of answers but remembering that he loves water, I knew what the perfect birthday gift would be and judging by his reaction now, I made the right call. His face beams as wraps his arms around my standing frame.

"You got me a yatcht huh?"

"Yes, daddy."

"You're done." Killian chuckles shaking his head. He grabs his phone from the counter and pulls me to sit on lap.

We hear footsteps and Kaia steps inside, a bunch of wrapped boxes in hand. "Happy birthday kids!" She says placing what I assume are presents in front of us.

She strolls towards us and ruffles Killian's hair before placing a kiss on my cheek. She proceeds to grab Killian's Nutella jar as she sits and dips her spoon inside. Killian on the other hand looks like a kid on Christmas on the verge of passing out from joy as he unwraps his gifts. Killian lets out a shriek as he rips off the remaining wrap, revealing a denim jacket and sneakers inspired by his favorite anime. He pulls out the jacket and holds it to his chest.

"You're welcome." Kaia chuckles before turning to me. She hands me a wrapped box and I pull her into a hug. "Happy birthday bichota!"

"I love you too." I reply, kissing her cheek as we pull back.

"You'll love me even more when you see the other presents."

"Wait, there's more?"

"Of course there's more." Jas' voice says excitedly.

I look over my shoulder and see Jas, Paris, Avery, Caleb and Daniel walking in. I give Kaia a confused look and she immediately looks away but I swear I saw a knowing smirk on her face. I turn back around to ask Killian only to find him walking away with Caleb. Sighing in defeat I shift my gaze back to the girls.

"Not that I'm complaining but what are you guys doing here?"

"You really thought we'd miss your birthday?" Paris replies, munching on a piece of toast from my plate.

I part my lips to utter a protest but Jas grabs my wrist and drags me out of the house. I groan in annoyance as she continues to run. She finally lets go of my wrist and I place my hands on my waist, closing my eyes to take a breath before straightening up only to have my eyes, widen in shock.

Killian's leaning against a white Lamborghini with a huge red bow on top. I instantly run to Killian and jump into his arms, barely managing to contain my excitement as I shower him with kisses.

"I think I'm gonna cry."

"Don't crush it." He teases, handing me the keys.
