"Oh okay, well go play in your room. I'm gonna go take a nap. I'm exhausted from finals."
She nods and runs upstairs to her room laughing.
She's definitely hiding something.
I go upstairs and enter my room when I see a light.
It's a candle.
I turn on the light and see a cake with the numbers 1 and 7 on it.
"What the-"
Someone behind me suddenly shuts my eyes with their hands.
"Guess who?" I hear someone whisper in my ear.
A smile grows on my face when I hear his voice.
"Ethan."
I remove his hands and face him.
"Happy birthday beautiful." He smiles.
"Thank you." I blush.
"You're welcome and why didn't you tell me today was your birthday, huh?" He raises his eyebrow and crosses his arms.
"It's not a big deal and how did you know it was my birthday, huh?" I mimic his posture and laugh.
"It is a big deal Val! And Ani told me the last time we went to the park. Today was hard for me to see you without saying happy birthday. But now it's Friday night! I'm here on your birthday." He smirks.
"Ani! I'm gonna get her later." I laugh.
"Wait, my mom didn't see you, did she?"
"No Val. Ani told me she was asleep and why?"
"Well she clearly isn't a big fan of yours."
"I know I just wanted to spend this day with you, your day. Seventeen now huh?" He sighs and comes closer to me for a hug.
I smile and hug him.
"Now blow out your candles birthday girl!"
I reach over to blow the candles.
"What did you wish for?" He asks
I smirk and reach to him and kiss him.
He kisses me and then pulls back.
"Wait, don't you wanna taste the cake I made for you first?"
"You made it?"
He picks up some frosting with his finger and smudges it on my lips.

"Ethan!" I laugh
"How's my cake taste?" He laughs.
"Not bad." I lick it.
"Cam helped me over FaceTime."
"Oh she left already?"
"Yeah she said happy birthday."
"Aww, I miss her already."
"Yeah this cake almost turned out a disaster but I called her."
"Well I'm thankful and I think it tastes good." I wipe the remaining of the cake off my lips.
"You missed a spot." He rubs his thumb over my lip taking the frosting off.
I watch him and he brings his lips connecting with mine.
"It's not as good as you." He nibbles on my bottom lip.
He throws me back and gets on top of me and pulls my jeans off.
I tug on his shirt.
Just when he's about to go any further I stop him.
"Wait." I try catching my breath.
"What is it?" He breathes hard.
"I can't do this anymore."
"Do what Val?"
"I know it might ruin things but I can't hide it anymore. So I rather get it out now than let it gather up inside of me."
"What?" He waits
"I-I love you Ethan."
He stays speechless.
"Yeah I knew you didn't feel the same way, I'm sorry but I can't let this go on any further if it isn't serious. I don't want to hurt myself by falling for someone who doesn't love me back. I want an official relationship." I say getting off the bed about to put my jeans back on.
He pulls me back on the bed.
"Then let's make it official." He whispers and kisses me.
I knew those weren't his words. He couldn't think of anything to say himself.
What he said wasn't enough and it never was but right in the moment he was just telling me what I wanted to hear.
I knew I shouldn't have fell for that but I did.
I thought what we were doing was making love for the first time.
But as always we were just fucking.
He put the condom on and started going back and forth.
"Val" He moans as he throws his head back in pleasure.
"Ethan" I moaned and pulled my hair as I felt him going deeper.
"This is your birthday gift from me." He whispers in my ear and I can feel him smile on my neck as he places kisses everywhere.
After we're done he falls next to me.
We focus our breathing and cuddle.
A couple of seconds later I feel a growing sensation in my stomach and I run to the bathroom.
I vomit. I feel Ethan behind me as he takes the hair tie from my wrist and ties my hair up.
"You okay baby?"
"Yeah I'm okay. I'm just not used to cake like that, that's all." I smile at him.
"You want some water?"
"No I'm okay." I get up and wash my mouth.
—————
The whole night I lay in bed with Ethan as we cuddle.
Friday night with him was the best birthday I could ever ask for.
