The Little Danger

Chapter 49: Husband and wife?

ALORA

The first wave of happiness was the birthday celebration I had with my friends and Enzo.

It was so wholesome for me to have them beside me, wishing me all the happiness of life and then giving me lots of gifts.

I am truly grateful for that.

Meanwhile, Stella has been planning a date for us. In the morning, I saw Stella's messages popping up on my phone like a virus, asking me to hangout with her in a mall to which I replied sure, and just like that we are here.

She first commanded that she will also have a little celebration of my late birthday. I felt bad that I couldn't do anything to let her join that time.

To my surprise, she told me that Enzo did invite her and asked her to come. But because of some important work hanging on her shoulder, Stella couldn't make it.

I remember Enzo telling me that he won't invite her, what he didn't let me know is that he lied- while he already did ask Stella to come- because he knew about her stressful work. And they say that these two can't stand each other.

Foolish comments.

Therefore, Stella told me that I have to celebrate once again with her. And yeah, I agreed because why not... if I can agree to celebrate because of my friend's happiness and for that silly man then why would I not do it with my girlfriend.

So I accepted her plan for today.

And then she bought a large... too large pizza for me, and arranged some candles on it. I blew out the candles, she wished me cheerfully, gave me a sweet long hug and also... she also kissed me on my forehead before wishing me birthday.

Also she gave me a present too.

So, that's how she and I celebrated my late birthday once again.

I remember that I said I will never waste the money which I got from Enzo- or in his words the money that I earned, it will never be wasted in shopping. But it seems like there's a change in the plan.

And the change already happened. I bought something from that money.

All this time Stella kept asking me if I wanted something else or if I didn't like the gift she bought. She is truly a literal darling.

For a moment, I almost forgot that she is a friend and not my sister because her behaviour towards me is no less than a big sister.

That makes me wonder how a girl who was a stranger to me just some days ago is now the most lovable person and closest to my heart like an oldest sister while the real cousin sister I have, has never been like this to me.

It explains that just because you are blood related doesn't mean that you will be their family.

"Alora, hey. What are you thinking?" Stella's voice pulled me back to reality. I smiled at her shaking my head.

Only if I could describe to her how much she started to matter to me. And how much I am feeling loved by her.

"Don't tell me..." I watched confused as she made an amusing face.

"Are you missing someone?" She asked.

Suddenly, I could feel the heat arriving on my both cheeks as my cheeks flushed with something I can't describe. She tilted her head while staring at me with a teasing smirk.

"What?'' I released a fake laugh to show her that she is wrong. "No! I am... not missing Enzo."

Wait... why did I take Enzo's name? She didn't mention him, she just used the word someone, so why did I- Oh God.
