OLIVIA

6 Months Later.
Christmas Day.

"Happy Birthday!!! Merry Christmas!!!" My mom said as I came downstairs.

"Thank you mom. Merry Christmas." I said as I hugged her.

Yes, I was born on Christmas Day. People say ain't I bothered by sharing my birthday with the day that most people all over the world celebrates. Nope. Because my parents go above and beyond to make sure my day is a day I never forget. As I got older they end up buying me more things; as oppose to them throwing parties or going on holiday. For example I have two cars. One which I got for my 23rd and 24th birthdays. Some may say I'm spoilt. But I'm an A Grade student. Always been into my books unlike my hoodlum brothers. So it's only right I get awarded for my good behaviour.

"I think your presents this year will beat all your presents." My mom said with a wink.

"Mom...what are you up to? It's nine in the morning and you have me fully dressed ready to go wherever it is you want me to go."

"All shall be revealed. We're just waiting for your brothers." Mom said as she brought me over a cup of hot coco.

"Ugh." I said as I looked at the message I just received. It was from Liam.

"What's wrong?"

"Liam messaged me. Happy birthday and Merry Christmas. And that he hopes he will be able to see me so we can talk. What the fuck..."

"OLIVIA!!"

"Sorry...What the HELL we got to talk about?"

"Maybe you should hear him out?"

"Mom? Have you hit yo head? Did dad ever cheat on you?"

"No."

"Right. Anyway. It's been six months. If I wanted to hear him out I would have already. He's all over my tv and the billboards. He's lucky I never made Carter and Jake break his legs. I don't want to talk to him. He needs to kick rocks."

"HO HO HO!!" I heard my dad say as he entered the house.

"Merry Christmas Daddy!!" I said hugging him. I was a daddy's girl. He was my best friend. Always there when I needed him. He had the wisest words. I loved talking to him.

"Merry Christmas Princess and Happy Birthday." He said as he kissed my head.

"Happy birthday sis." My brothers said

"Thanks guys! Merry Christmas!"

"So pops why did you make us get up and out so early?" Jake asked

"What? Y'all don't want to show Liv her present?"

"Oh yeah! Yo Liv! I think we all outdone ourselves this year." Carter said.

"Yeah. Next year and onwards... Yo birthday is cancelled." Jake said making us laugh.

"Say what?"

"Seriously. If we keep trying to outdo what we do from the year before we gon have to buy you America itself." Jake added making us all laugh again.
