Mavi's POV

I am preparing to sleep because it's already 10 pm. I got really tired of swimming session at the beach earlier.

But I got received another message from someone that keep me up..

from: ate <3

birthday na bukas

I stare on the screen of my phone for almost 15 minutes, figuring out the things that I should do.

"Think Mavi." I sighed

I'm not sure but I feel like she's not time of person naman who loves expensive things.

I walked out my room and went to nearest convenience store.

Hon gamitin ko muna favorite ice cream mo ah. Baka favorite niya din. I thought

I bought 2 gallon of ice cream, chocolate flavor.

This would do.

I choose to walk nalang from the store to her cabin, hindi naman ganun kalayo.

When I finally reach her door, I knock softly.

'Baka naman I disturbed her sleep.'

After a while, the door swung open and I saw her on her pajamas.

'Dang why so attractive this woman?'

When I got back to my sense, I examine her surprise expression. And I realize her eyes is a bit red.

"You cried?" I can't help but to asked.

She didn't say anything and walk up to me.

I was taken aback when she put her arms  around my waist. I heard her small sobs so I just let her. I rub her back using my left hand, since I have the ice cream on my right.

"Why are you here?" She whispered but she still hugging me.

'God this woman will be the death of me.'

"I bought us ice cream" I tried my best to sound cheerful, despite of my rising temperature because our closeness.

She back away a little but her arms still on my waist. Her eyes sparkled as her lips form a beautiful smile. My lips automatically show a smile.

The two of them are now sitting om the couch beside each other. Mavi keep glancing at Avi without saying anything. Avi on the other hand keep her gaze ahead. They are currently eating their ice cream.

"Mavi, would you mind if I ask you a question?" Avi break the silence between them.

" You are already asking a question." Mavi playfully replied, Avi turn to her as they giggled.

" Why are you doing this?" Avi asked and became serious

"Why not? " Mavi said as she stop eating and turn to her this made Avi stop from eating too,they face and stare at each other.

"Are you not comfortable about it? Should I stop? Maybe I am causing trouble-

Mavi expression became complicated as she keep rumbling. This made Avi smile.

" Stop rumbling Quihano." Avi said and Mavi stare at her with complicated expression. "Eat your ice cream baka matunaw pa." Avi said as she look away .

"Can I sleep here tonight?" Mavi ask. Avi turn to her as she smile.

" Sure."

"So we could do count down for your birthday." Mavi casually said but this made Avi tear up.

"You- how do you? Bakit mo alam?" Avi can't found the word to explain her emotion.

But Mavi just shrugged her shoulder and eat her ice cream.

Avi was confused but she didn't asked anymore.

After a couple of minutes, Mavi suddenly stood from her seat and browse through her phone.

A music sudden plays.

Mavi put her phone on the table and walk closer to Avi. She extend her hand to Avi.

"Let me have this chance to dance with this special person on her special day." Mavi softly said to Avi. The latter ignore the abnormal beating of her heart and accept Mavi's hand.

The moment they had right now seems magical for both of them.

Mavi put hands on Avi's waist while Avi's were place on Mavi's shoulders.

"Happiest birthday Avi." Mavi said as they sway with the rhythm of the song. They stare at each other as they put their forehead together and slowly close their eyes. The world seems to stop at the moment.

'Amazing birthday celebration so far' Avi smile with her thought

This moment was witness by Crys, Gleen, and Jeremiea.

They are supposed to surprise Avi for her birthday but the table turns.

'Lakas naman Mavi.' Crys thought

'Bilis, daig si flash.' Gleen thought

Jeremiea was the first one to walk away without saying anything.

Crys and Gleen look at each other as they nod and walk away with Jeremiea.
