Chapter.61.Happy Birthday Lucas Part 2.<3

Currently, he's trying to blow out the candles... I can't stop laughing. "Son of a – Why won't these blow out?" Lucas growls and tosses his hands up in the air. His eyes scan the crowd of family and immediate friends, I'm sure looking for one particular person but I'm hiding behind Ryder.

"Why don't you try one more time?" Maya offers with a mischievous grin.

I'm gripping Ryder's leather jacket like my life freaking depends on it. "I got you kitten." He whispers, and funnily enough that's what gives us away.

"Ryder why don't you let my sweet cheeks free. I have a question to ask her."

My orbs turn dangerously wide before flickering to my peaches. She's got the candles that will blow out in her hands and I'm so tempted to let her use them. "I don't know where my kitten is Lucas. Why on earth would you think that I'd be able to let her free?"

As I hear footsteps trailing towards us, he's laughing. Lucas kindly shoves Ryder to the side and gives him an extra pat on the rock. "Probably because my princess is standing right behind you." Don't open your eyes Riley, don't open them. "Can you open your beautiful eyes?" I vehemently shake my head no. "Awe why not? Got a guilty conscious?"

Yes. "No."

He chuckles when I'm pulled abruptly into a hard chest. Yummy. With the collision my eyes fly open. "Ah there they are. Did you get the trick candles?" Before I can even begin to defend myself the entire room – including my mom, dad, and Auggie, traitors – sold me out.

"Yes."

His playful glower zeroes in on me. "Now what on earth are we going to do about that? It's my birthday you know, I can't not make a birthday wish."

The small circles he's making on my hips are incredibly distracting and luckily so discreet that no one notices. "Maya has candles."

"I'll replace them." My peaches offers and saunters towards my cake.

I can tell by the playful glimmer in his eyes that this isn't over. It isn't just because of the amused glint in his eyes but his words that reaffirm that this whole trick candle business isn't over. "You'll pay for that later sweet cheeks."

"Looking forward to it." Oh come on! Where the hell did that come from? The humorous spark dies out and is replaced with darkened pupils.

Lucas' Point of View.

I absolutely cannot believe everything Riley has done for me today. This is literally the second best birthday I've ever had, if my parents were here it would have easily topped every other one. The first being the one in third grade, Riley and my parents were both there and I had a bounce house. I'm sure if she would have had a place then I would have gotten one. I love that she's trying to keep me young with the Ninja Turtle theme and as usual the cake is incredible.

This whole day has been amazing. The past few years I've avoided celebrating my birthday as much as possible seeing as both my parents are gone, the people who made this day possible are gone and never coming back. I'd like to think that they are in a better place, but being selfish is something everyone is good at. So I would be lying if I said I didn't want them here. Luckily everyone has done such a great job at distracting me. I've hardly thought about them today... wow that sounds pretty terrible. I'm a terrible son. "This one is from Zay." My girl passes me my next present that's in a little gift bag, and one glance my direction she knows something is wrong. Leaning over she pecks my cheek, knowing I won't want to talk about it now. "Later?"
