Briana Miller

Chapter 8

The next month passed pretty quickly, bringing Naomi and Bennett even closer than before. The four musketeers with the little sunshine enjoyed their vacation visiting the theme parks, having movie nights and playing non-stop. They spoiled Briana with toys, dresses, chocolates and what not.

Her giggles became the first thing to wake the base up. Naomi sometimes stayed, sometimes didn't. But Briana never complained.

The little girl held a great position in every single member's heart.

"How about you open the presents now?" asked Declan.

It was Briana's birthday. They planned the whole day the previous night together. After, lots of fighting on what gift they should get her or how they should decorate the house, here they were in the evening.

The living room was decorated with Cinderella themed ballroom. Bri wasn't aware of any of these things, so when she woke up from her sleep, she screamed loudly and crushed everyone with our hugs and kisses.

"YOU GOT ME PRESENTS!" Briana shouted enthusiastically and everyone laughed.

"Of course, baby! It's your birthday after all." Naomi said.

Jordan and Declan stepped aside to reveal gifts that made a mini mountain. They had never seen a light so pure, so innocent and so bright before- the light that was glowing on Briana's face.

Jordan immediately ripped open the wrapping paper of a box. From inside came a cute dollhouse. Declan immediately scowled.

"That's not fair. You cheated! I bought a dollhouse too." He whined like a baby.

"It's not my fault. I never asked you about your gift. You cheated." Jordan shrugged.

"No, I didn't! And mine is bigger than yours." He pointed out.

"Shut up!" Naomi scolded. "At least not today"

"But-"

"No buts. She's right." Bennett said. "Bri can play with two dollhouses. When one of that breaks, she'll still have another one." He reasoned but the two just rolled their eyes.

"Whatever, I still have another present for Bri," Declan said as he opened another box to reveal a custom-made jersey with Briana written on it. It was their school team's color.

"She'll support me in the next match." He grinned widely.

Jordan narrowed his eyes. "So do I." He came up with another box which had a folded princess tent house inside" He looked at Briana. "Did you like it babygirl?"

But not waiting for her reply, Naomi already made her way there and took out something that looked like shopping bags. The first packet had a beautiful white dress with little sparkles on it. The second was a pink floral dress and the third had a bunch of headbands and hair clips.

"What do you all think? Wouldn't they look adorable on her?" Naomi asked and they nodded.

"But mine would look more pretty," Bennett interjected. Naomi furrowed her eyebrows when Bennett took out a mini blue ball gown. It looked exactly like the one Cinderella wore.

"Specially designed by Disney's costume stylists." He said and Naomi slapped his shoulder.

"You just had to ruin it." She muttered, clearly annoyed. But Bennett only grinned.

"Then there is a VIP ticket of Disneyland for all of us and... oh! I got a pair of glass slippers too. Specially made for my Bri." He continued.

"Rich people" Others muttered quietly.
