What Happens In Rome.... [Lgbt] [✔]

Chapter 32

~~~ Five months later

"(It's almost Wei's birthday, what can we get him?)" Lisa asked while putting some oil on the frying pan.

"(Maybe we can buy him a new shirt? Or a watch? A book maybe, would that be enough?)" Qiqi replied cutting a fish.

Lisa snorted. "(What if he has it already? I want something he might like... what about a homemade cake? Would he like that?)"

Qiqi considered that for a while. "(We did that for Yunlan already. It's Wei's first birthday since we live all together, it would be nice to surprise him, maybe we could...)"

"(Stop chatting, we're working here.)" The chef's loud voice shut them up.

Lisa murmured, "(Grumpy's yelling. We'll talk later,)" then she blew her a kiss.
Qiqi giggled and they focused on their cooking.

The first free day they had they got out together and after a long search they ended up choosing a board game they agreed he would like.

They involved Yunlan too because Wei's birthday happened to be on a Wednesday, so they wouldn't be at home.

Finally the day arrived; as Yunlan and Wei walked inside their apartment, Yunlan told him to go get ready because he had planned a dinner for the two of them to celebrate his birthday. He even called a taxi because it was "a very special occasion after all" and Wei felt over the moon, even more when he realised where they were going to eat.

Yunlan winked at him. "I heard the food is really good here," he said as the name "2000" came into view.
Wei beamed happily throughout the dinner, the food was delicious and he couldn't stop thanking him.

On weekdays the restaurant wasn't as crowded as it was during the weekends, so after a certain hour the girls were allowed to join them at their table.

Qiqi arrived first with a big smile on her face. "Happy birthday Wei!".
He didn't expect to actually see them that night, knowing that they were working, and he was so happy they could celebrate with him.

Lisa arrived with an equally big smile. She half-hugged him with a "(come here birthday boy!)", giving him a kiss on each cheek, then she began pulling his earlobe.

Yunlan laughed at his uncomfortable expression, but Wei didn't protest.

Finally Lisa sat down. "(Wow, how cute you are, I always complained while my mom did it to me.)"

Wei widened his eyes. "(She don't do it  no more?)"

Lisa laughed. "(Oh no, I put a stop to it long ago.)"

Wei faked annoyance and she laughed again.

The two girls looked at each other, then giggled and Qiqi pulled out the wrapped box she had hurried to get while he was busy getting his ear pulled.

"(This is for you!)" They exclaimed at the same time.

He unwrapped it and looked at the board game with a confused expression. "(What is it?)"

"(It's a board game, so we can play all together!)" Qiqi said. "(You throw a dice to choose a letter, then you must write as many things starting with that letter as possible! It's fun!)"

Lisa joined in. "(And your Italian is so good now! The challenge is to think of them in a minute's time, we could try it next Monday if you want.)"

Wei doubted his Italian was as good as she said, but it had certainly improved a lot living with her, and he was touched both by the gift and her words.
"(Thank you, I love it,)" he said, sounding as moved as he was.
