I'll be there for you {CHARLES LECLERC, ENG}

Birthday disaster

(Several months later)

I wish i was kidding..when i tell you my brother and his girlfriend got engaged. I mean LOVELY for them. But its august 16th. Also known as my birthday.

At this exact moment we where at the beach house of my parents in Monaco. We live in Monaco but we tend to like to move around a little. So I decided to trow my birthday party at the beach house.

It had a beautiful blue and white team you know very costal vibes. I was wearing a white dress. And my guest were requested to wear a blue outfit. And if you are wearing a unmatched top a white pants or skirt.

The most adorable thing ever. My parents were there and all my friends and family. And as most people would assume a lor of people i don't know.

I may have forgot to mention that my parents own a very big Yacht company. Its called "SubSilver" because out last name is Silver. You get it...

My parents have a lot of business partners and co owners. Since its a beach house there are a few of our yachts in the pond that finds place in the massive back yard. So bold to assume that there wouldn't be any business people.

As my parents came back of showing a few yachts that are in the pond. My brother stood on the deck of one of them with a microphone that was connected to the boxes for the music. He began.

"Dear Oaks, how much we love you! And now that you are so mature you are glowing!.."

I smiled. My brother is a sweet guy. VERY dominated but sweet.

"I wish you the best birthday you could wish for! Even you are now 23 isn't that old. Since your becoming a wonderful woman. I wanted to gift you something you could cherish forever."

He sighned at Rosé, his girlfriend to come over with a box probably as big as a laptop. I stood there confused because it was taking a little long.

He started opening the package to make me even more confused since i thought it was my present.

He revealed 3 boxes. One as big as a ring box (of course) and 2 as big as necklace boxes. He put the other two on the table with a lot of other gifts while he held the one with the (ring) small gift in his palm. Rosé was still standing on the deck.

He looked between me my parents and Rosé a fee times before it clicked.

I started walking over to them.

"Pablo let's not do this okay!" I said or more like yelled at him as he went on his knees. The second he pulled open the ring box i knew it was over. He ofcourse had to steal the attention away from me as I thought he was being sweet. How could i ever trust him HOW!

Everyone started cheering and clapping and saying 'Ahwww'

I walked inside of the Beach house crying because i can never have a moment just for me. A moment that my parents give to just me. Because my brother has all these things he has accomplished that he always has to share on my moments. And i am just there.

Last year on my birthday he told my parents he invested 100k and got 750k back. GOOD FOR HIM

Ofcourse my whole birthday party went on about him!
"Aren't you proud of your brother"
"Don't you wanna be successful like your brother"
"Are you a little jealous of your brother"

No im not proud.
I am just as successful.
And no EW.

People find it hard to believe a woman can do as much as a man. I may not be as rich but ik definitely just as successful and most definitely for the 4 year age gap.

I found myself sitting on the stairs crying..

I heard steps coming and they slowed down on the stairs. I quickly looked down trying to hide my tears. As i also took some steps upstairs.

"Are you okay?" A masculine gentle voice said. Not someone i knew but i had heard his voice before probably one of Pablos friend or business partners who was going to say "aren't you happy for you brother" in about 20 seconds.

"It's really shitty of him to do that on your birthday."

To my surprise.

I looked up finally being able to see his face.

It didn't click. But i had seen his 'Green Eyes' before. Brown hair sun kissed skin. A little beard and a little moustache. He was wearing a blue blouse and a white pants as the Dresscode requested.

The blouse sitting tightly to his biceps. He was attractive probably has a girlfriend or a wife. He had a ring around his left ring finger i see..

"Are you married?" Is the only thing i could get out or my mouth.

"Is that the only thing you can say when you see me?"

"Huh.."

"Last time we saw each other in the club in Monte Carlo. You asked the same question. And i have the same answer"

There ie no way...
HIM?

"You?"

"Me? Your name was Oaklynn right? But i could call you 'Whatever'"

"What are you doing here?"

"I saw it coming as soon as he started talking about wanting kids about 40 minutes ago. So i went up to the balcony. That way i got a better few without anybody seeing me"

"Oh. But like i meant what are you doing at my party."

"I Own a Yacht from your parents company and I'm 'familiar' so i got invited for some vieuws you know."

"Oh okay. What was your name again?"

"Charles"

"Well thanks Charles. For i don't know yet."

"My pleasure for you whatever"

"I take back my words! You can call me Oaks or lynn"

"Okay Oaks. Pleasure being here"

"Of course even tho I didn't invite you."

He looked at me straight in my eyes. Maybe i felt my heart pumping a little and beating a little faster then usual. But not to much i think..

"Are you okay though?"

I signed trying not to cry again. I failed miserably!! My tears started flowing. He grabbed me for a hug. Something i really needed.

I was sobbing on his shoulder.. maybe a little embarrassed since we were standing on the staircase and it was my birthday.

We were just standing there for a few minutes him petting my hair with his other hand on my lower back. And my arms around his neck. I pulled away with our faces still close. I started at his eyes.

Because they were just so beautifully green. Maybe he was what i was jealous of. The kinda man who seems like he's got it all together. Seems to be able to afford stuff since he has yacht and apparently is 'familair'.

"You are beautiful Oaklynn. Don't let them take that away from you. You deserve so much more and so much better. I promise you, it will all be okay"

He made me cry ever more. Just odd of him to assume that he can say the nicest things i have ever heard someone say to me. And think im not going to cry.

"I really appreciate it Charles. You are a beautiful person. I may not know you very well, But you seem very gentle and just really sweet. I hope and wish you the best!"

He gave me another hug before he walked down stairs.

"Give me a call if you ever need someone to talk to or just need a hug. I'll be there for you"

"I will thanks Charles"

"Anytime"

And there he went. He disappeared on my own party. Which i didn't enjoy so much.
