Quote of the day : The past will always remain in the past, so let us now think of our present, and look to our future.

____ONE YEAR LATER____

"Surprise!"

He nearly jumped out of his skin at the shout and sudden light that glowed through his house. He looked around to see smiling faces of his family and friends, how the hell did they manage to plan a surprise without him getting a whiff of it?

"Happy birthday!" They all chorused again. He smiled with outmost joy and happiness at the kind gesture, he was indeed happy and grateful.

"Thank you all, thank you so much," he said sending an appreciative look to everyone present, there were made up of, his father, Nora, Davis, Chloe, and almost every living employee from 'Marshall enterprises.'

"You should thank this two ladies," his father said pointing to Nora, and Chloe as he made his way towards their group. "They are the masterminds."

"Woah, I was the director of the whole thing." You can already guessed that it was Davis who said this.

"I'm thanking everyone of you," he said smiling at his friend's stupidity.

"Well then, let the party commence, the celebrant is here!" Davis yelled and soft music filled the air, resulting in a sound of joy from everyone present.

He looked at how they had managed to change his lounge into a party hall, it almost looked like he was in a different place. There were tables of twos, threes, and the most, fours. The whole place was decorated almost like it was a wedding reception, every single guest present was either in a suit or dinner dress. There were three long decorated tables that had several kind of food on them at the corner of the room. At another spot two tables had been set aside to house presents and bouquets, and there were lots of them, most of the presents were arranged neatly on the floor because of little space on the tables. There was a huge screen on a sort of stage that had his picture, and on it was written, 'Gregory Kane Marshall,' he need not ask to know who brought the idea. He must really say they outdid themselves. Chandeliers decorated the whole place, and if you must know he had no Chandeliers till yesterday. He should have suspected this when his father asked for the sole ownership of his lounge, funny.

He went over to his father, hugging him. "I can't believe you're twenty seven, you my son are a man."

"Thanks Dad." And yes, he started calling him Dad because he now felt close enough to do so, for some reason saying father always felt so distant to him.

"Where is my hug?" Nora said from his side. He smiled at her and pulled her into a hug also, ruffling her dark mane. "I will withdraw my birthday wish if you don't stop scattering my hair, do you know how long it took to style it?"

"Really, all I see is corncobs," he said chuckling. This resulted in a series of punches from her, she never changes.

"Greg, you need to stop teasing your sister," his father said giving him a gentle glare. "Let me go attend to our guests, once you are done Greg you need to give a speech."

"What speech?" And his father already left before he could complete the question, he looked to Davis and Chloe. "Thanks so much Chloe."

"You're welcome." She smiled brilliantly.

"Where is my thanks?" Davis asked. He was actually going to thank him before, but now he would just have the joy of keeping his gratitude.

"In my pocket, snatch it." He deadpanned, and earned a laugh from both Nora and Chloe, leaving Davis with an angry glare.
