Wild Baleigh love 2️⃣☑️

5. Happy birthday

I turn around to face Ballice. "Bally am sorry for not telling you earlier. I never thought that she'll show up. I just didn't see the necessity of saying it. " He gives me an unconvinced look but a smile tugs on his lips shortly after.

"You humiliated me! Everyone in that party was looking at me strangely. I thought I was looking gorgeous!" Maya croaks.

" Gorgewhat?" Cam bursts out laughing.

" Gorgeous you say?" Ballice plays along with Cam surprising us all with his laughter. Such a girl!

"I was batshit gorgefire!" Tiffany chimes in closing her eyes dreamily.

"You dog shit!" Maya snarls moving towards me.

"Hey!" I raise a finger at her. " I will lick your body up down and leave you with incurable wounds because I don't have a normal tongue baby, it's more than just acid." I hiss at her and she steps back glaring at me.

"Don't you dare insult my girl when am here and especially when you don't have your three douches of  lappies... Five times five is twenty five." Ballice says screwing his eyes shut. "Maya." He warningly says screwing his eyes open. "More than twenty five minutes have passed since I swore giving you five minutes. Leave already!" He breathes. " Noooooowww!" He growls making Maya tense.

She turns her eyes and looks briefly at Cam and Tif before she finally settles on me. I feel like they linger on me way too long looking dangerously threatening before she gives Ballice one glance, then she turns around and disappears into the house without uttering a single word.

"What was that?" Tiffany turns to me.

"Tell me about it." I smirk at her.

"You she devil." Cam says pinching my cheeks lightly and then she drops her hands and pulls me into a tight hug. "I missed you." She whispers into my hair.

"I missed you too." I mumble beside her face.

"Enough." Bally groans behind Cam.

"What?" I make a face at him. And before I know it he's pulling me away from Cam. "Such a jerk." I mumble laughing at his crazy antics.

" About Maya and your lies we're not done yet." He whispers dangerously soft beside me and I look up at him deviously accepting the challenge.

"Ight?" I smirk.

"I'm going to look for Dubel." Tiffany announces running into the house.

I look at Cam, "Are you not going to look for your Jelton too?" She shrugs. And then she says. "I think he's mad at me because I promised him to be here yesterday but I showed up today and what is worse, late." She sighs into her palms.

"You have each other all night and the coming days." Ballice tells her shifting his weight beside me.

"I hope so." She says pulling her lips into her mouth.

"Well." I start. "Birthday boy." I wink at him. "It's about time you show up and make the birthday official. What a party without the party holder." I huff swatting him on his chest.

"If my mind serves me well, I think you're the one holding it, not me." He teases raising his hands up.

"Whatever, let's go in." I roll my eyes pushing him towards the backdoor.

"It's been one hell of an evening." He mumbles to himself letting out a long sigh.

"I know right?" I say brushing one hand along his right arm and the other is holding Cam's hand lightly. She's silently playing with my fingers and I can't decipher what is going on in her mind right now. She looks like she's far deep into thoughts.

"Are you okay?" I ask her once we stop at the wall separating the sitting room where the party is and the dining room. Bally has disappeared into the living room already.

"I am. But I'm worried because Jelton didn't even say hi when I got here. Our eyes met but he looked away first,  and resumed his DJ role like am just not his girlfriend. And he's not been taking my calls since last night." She answers worriedly.

"C'mon, he's just playing tricks on you. The boy is head over heels in you. Trust me." I gently squeeze her palms.

" I hope you're right." She quips dismissively.

"Of course, let's join the others." I drag her into the party.

It's 10 p.m but some other teenagers look so wasted. Now this makes me hate the idea of having liquor in this party more.

And before I scan all the room, Ballice's voice startles me from the speakers on the wall beside us.

"I'm sorry for coming in late since I'm the birthday boy but I hope you forgive me. I had to take care of some problem."

'Some problem' What a lie. I roll my eyes but then I'm reminded again that of course it was a problem, infact problems.

"So, let's start the partyyyyyy!" Jelton's voice booms and everyone in the room goes wild with yells.

"Yaaaaaaaaayyyyy!"

Ugh... I hate this type of noise. Always!

And this is how we start it. They start with the cake cutting which is not entirely the exciting thing to the teenagers but anyways, they really do enjoy the enormous cake. Girl did I blush when he fed me a piece.

I know it's cheesy and cliche but I made him blow all the nineteen candles I had circled round the cake, one after the other he blew them out making successful tides.

Now the next thing that follows is making a toss.

"To many more years!" Everyone shouts out loud as the sound of plastic tumblers permeate in the air.

"Happy nineteen!" I shout out loud together with the others but I bet my voice goes noticeably louder and Ballice who is just a few feet away from us blows me a kiss in the air combining it with a wink. And I blow it back almost immediately gaining a pinch from Camille who's seated beside me.

Moments later after all the chatters, jabbers, babbles, whispers and soft chats around, Ballice takes the mike again and clears his throat gaining the attention of everybody else.

"I'm sorry if the party wasn't sweet as_"

He is immediately cut off by whistles and screams.

"Heeeeyyyy! It was one of a kind, hotter than all their partners!" Tiffany yells from the back of the room. And then everyone cracks out a laugh.

" I'm glad you all enjoyed." The room is only lit with swirling neon lights but you can't miss to spot the familiar faces in the room. "Really." He says straining a smile. "Thanks to my princess over there." He points the mike at me. " To be honest this is my first birthday party. I've never held any kind of party before. She forced me into this and she did all she had to, to make this party work and I can't be any happier that she pulled it out great with the help of my_ anyway yeah." He brushes it off quickly. " So thank you love for everything." He winks my way.

All the aaaawwwwsss from the girls around can't help my reddening cheeks. How he manages to get a reaction from me up until now is still questionable. I'm here blushing like a freaking lobster and Cam can't stop poking me.

"The party is up until 4 a.m in the morning. So you are free to leave at any time and at your own free will." He rambles on. " To make it merrier someone suggested that the rest of the time can be turned into some sort of karaoke before y'all have the dance for yourselves, so I don't know_"

"Yeeeeessss pleeeeeaaaaseee..." Of course that's what girls like. I doesn't miss the joy in their voices as they squeal out excitedly.

Just

Just I didn't see it coming...

Tbc...
