Roni POV
Today is Nessa and I's birthday. It's not such a big birthday for us. We've had 24 other ones, there for I wasn't expecting much.(they're turning 25 in this story) When I wake up there's some flowers on the nightstand. There's and hand written note left in them from Aaron.
Happy birthday baby, the kids and I have made you breakfast and I've taken them out while you get dressed for your party tonight.
I totally forgot about the party. It's tonight at a restaurant. We just invited some friends and said that they could bring a plus one. The kids are supposed to stay with mom and dad for the night. I don't know how I forgot about that.
I go downstairs. I'm in full relaxation mode. I grab my breakfast and turn on the TV. I slept in late but Nessa must have slept in really late because it's almost ten o'clock and she's not downstairs yet. It's a typical Nessa move. I decide that I want to take a dip in the pool. Why not? I have to wash my hair anyway and it's only going to help me relax more. I play some of my favorite songs on the speakers and hop in. I take a couple of laps and and come out. I sit in the sun for a little while to dry of a little. I decide to FaceTime Aaron to see where he and the kids are at.
"Hey babe" He says when he answers
"Hey, I'm just calling to check on you guys" I say
"We're doing great. Did you just take a shower? You look wet"
"Nope, I took a dip in the pool"
"Wow look at the birthday girl changing up the routine" he teases. I giggle and roll my eyes.
"The twins want to talk to you" he says. He owns the camera to them.
"Happy Birthday Mama!" They both say. It melts my heart "We love you!" They add. I feel like shedding a tear because it so cute.
"Thank you and I love you guys too! How was your morning?" I ask
"We go to the store and we got toys." Vinny says. They must be in Walmart because I see the stuff in the background.
"Did you like breakfast?" Vi asks
"Yes sweet girl, I did" I say
"Bye mama" they say
"Bye my favorite set of twins in the world!" I say. They hang up the phone. That made my morning ten times better. I'm fully dried off now so I go inside. Nessa is finally downstairs.
"Happy birthday!" We say at the same time. Twin telepathy. We embrace each other in a hug. I may have said that Vi and Vinny are my favorite set of twins, but Nessa is my favorite individual twin. I don't know what I would do without her.
"We're twenty five!" We say. We hold hands and jump up and down.
"I don't want to look old" Nessa complains
"Don't worry? I don't think we'll look a day over twelve" I joke. Nessa giggles at that.
"So what do you want to do while we wait to get ready for the party?" She asks after a while of not awkward silence.
"Well I have to take a shower, but stranger things season three is calling my name."
"Mine to. The kids and the boys are gone so we can watch it in peace" she says
"I'll get the face mask and stuff to do our nails" I say. I take a quick shower and get all the stuff that we need to pamper ourselves. We get all wrapped up in blankets a start the season. We have some lunch and then we start getting ready. Just like old times we get ready in the same room. It's fun because we can blast our favorite songs and do our makeup and give each other advice on what to do with our looks. We used to do this all the time and it's cool to keep the tradition up. We're finally ready when the boys come in. They get ready fast, as usual.
"You look beautiful" Aaron says to me.
"Thank you very much sir" She says
"So your just treating me like an escort huh?" He says
"Maybe I am" I say and wink at him. We all meet up down stairs. We drive to the restaurant and greet our friends as the come in. The restaurant provides a table for them to put the gifts on. There at pre planned seating arrangements. None of our friends hate each other or really have a problem with each other but we know where to put people so no conflict occurs. For example, we invited Lauren early in the game, everything that happened between her and Alex happened. We're to totally not expecting her to come, but if she does we want Alex to not see her and still be comfortable. We don't want to the throw him something he couldn't handle. We're just trying to keep the peace.
The diner is going great. Everyone is eating and enjoying themselves and the food. Someone walks in that I can't recognize. Aaron goes to see who it is. I eavesdrop on their conversation.
"Hey, are you here for Roni and Nessa birthday?" Aaron asks in a friendly way
"Yeah, I'm Jermey by the way" The man says and reaches his hand for Aaron to shake. "You must be Aaron" he says
"That's me"
"Lauren has told me a lot of good stuff about you" Jermey says. This is where it sort of clicks in Aaron's head.
"Hey man I'm not trying to be rude or cause a scene or anything, but I think you know what happened between Alex and Lauren and I think it's best for you to leave."
"I know that this would happen. I told Lauren that it would. Sorry to inconvenience you man. She just told me to come in her place and met some of her friends. I meant no harm by it. I really want to work things out with Alex. Maybe you and I can stay in contact so that I can try, of course you don't have to if you don't want to" Jermey says
"I think that will be great" Aaron says. I didn't think that would've gone down that way. Lauren's new boo is nice, and she isn't?! Shocker.
"I'm out of your way" Jermey says after he gives him the number. "Thanks got giving me a chance."
"No problem" Aaron says. He returns back to his seat.
"What was that all about?" Alex asks
"Nothing, just someone who was confused" Aaron responds. We finish our dinners and everyone sings happy birthday to us. We tell our friends Bye and that we're so glad they came. We truly are glad to see them. Aaron and Kian load our presents into the car. It's safe to say that it was a good, peaceful night and Nessa and I really enjoyed it.
