Subtitle : “Happy Birthday ”?
Ashley’s pov
My phone started ringing waking me up from my beauty sleep. I groa-ned as pulled the bedsheet over my face. The call hang up and i breath in a breath of relief. Just when i was about to fall asleep again, the little bitc-h started ringing.
Arrrrgh!
I pulled the covers off my face and got up to a sitting position and reach out to my phone. The ID caller was Kyle.
Why was he calling? It isn’t monday, is it?
I took in a de-ep breath before answering the call.
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY!” he screamed very loud that i had to pull the phone away from my hear until he had stopped talking before i placed the phone back to my ear.
“what? Happy birthday?”
“yes. Wait, you’ve forgotten about your day again.”
I rolled my eyes. I seriously forgot about today. I sighed, this was the same day i was betrayed by my best friend and my boyfriend. Ex.
“My bad.” I mumbled.
“come on, sis. You need to cheer up. It’s your day…So tell me how is it going to be?”
I shrugged then suddenly realize how foolish i was because he clearly can’t see me shrug.
“i don’t know, Ky. But i really don’t want to celebrate it or even remember what day it is.”
“you know that isn’t possible. Everyone knows it’s your day.” Everyone aside from the current people am living with which I’m grateful for. “look, We are coming over.”
“wait, what? Coming over? Never. Besides, the Js will feel so uncomfortable having some people around.” Trust me that was just an excuse.
“they won’t, besides they…” He voice trailed away.
What was he going to say? They also know what?
“what about them?”
“look, we are coming over, okay? And make sure you wear something nice.” He said then hung up.
Did he just hang up on me? God, why do they need to come? Why? Why? Why?
I was about to go back to bed again when my phone started ringing. Again.
I groa-ned loudly before i stare at the ID caller. It was mom.
I quickly answered the call. “mom.” I squealed.
“my baby. How are you sweetheart?”
“I’m doing great. How about you? Dad? and Jeremy?”
“we are all fine, love. Seems like Kyle beat us to it by calling you first.”
I chuckled. “yes mom.”
She laughs softly as she scolded Jeremy from the other line. That boy would never change.
“Happy birthday, Tommy.” I heard Jeremy said from the other line.
Tommy? Another nickname? I think am going to die with the way people call me in nicknames and not in my name. Do you know what that Tommy stands for? I will tell you, Tommy as in Tomboy. Give me one reason why i shouldn’t slap this guy throu-ghthis call.
”Shut up but thanks.” I retorted.
“so is Josh going to celebrate it or anyone from the Js? Do they even know what day it is?”
“MOM! TAKE THE PHONE FROM HIM OR I’M GOING TO HANG UP AND BURN THIS PHONE TO ASHES SO THAT NO ONE WOULD REACH ME EVER AGAIN.” i yelled. Okay, that was a threat. An empty one at that.
I could hear bark of laughter from the background. Wait, do they think I’m joking?
Shut up, Ash. You and i both know that you are joking.
“try more har-der , Tommy.”
“Shut up.”
“okay, that’s enough, Jerry. now…”
“Jerry? Mom it’s Jeremy not Jerry.” He said.
a-sshole.
“just shut up and leave your sister alone.”
“but I’m not holding her.”
“you are stressing her out, Jerry. Now, walk out of that place and go to your room.”
I breath in a sigh of relief. I thought i was going to go crazy. God bless my mom.
“baby.” I heard my dad’s voice.
“dad. I’ve missed you so much. I’m sorry for not calling.”
“it’s alright, love. Happy birthday.”
”thanks dad.”
After a while of speaking with my family we finally said our goodbyes and hung up the call.
I smiled as i fell flat on the bed. I really miss them. I was already drifting my eyes close when i heard a soft knock on my door.
I felt like crying. Why are they doing this to me?
“what? what? WHAT?!?” i snapped out as i got out of the bed and made my way to the door before unlocking it and opened it.
“Jasmine? Tiffany? Kyle? Hudson? What are you guys doing here this early? Don’t tell me it’s because of my birth_”
“Happy birthday!!!!” Tiff and Jasmine yelled as they made their way into my room and pulled me into a tight hug.
I thought i was going to choke to death but my savior, my big brother saved me from them.
“hey, guys calm down.”
We giggled and pulled away from the hug. ”hey, and how is it early? It’s already 9:30am and not 6am.” Tiffany said.
what? 9:30am??? They’ve got to be kidding me. It seems like they saw the doubt on my face as they handed me a phone to check the time. They were right.
I sighed de-eply and ran my fingers throu-ghmy messy hair.
“are you ready?” Jasmine asked with a grin on her face.
”what surprise?”
“Hey, babe. it’s time.”
And just when i was about to ask then what they were talking about, Hudson pulled a black piece o clothe and covered my eyes, tying knot at the back of my head.
“what is this? what is going on? why are you guys doing? I can’t even see a thing.” This is kidnap. Stupid! They are my friends and they are at my house so, this isn’t kidnap but what? I don’t know.
I felt a hand on my shoulder as we made our way to the stairs. My hair was left down. I couldn’t tie it in its usual, all thanks to my friends and brother.
We finally came to a stop.
“can this shit come off now? I can’t see a thing.
“hold on.” Hudson said. After a while, the blindfold was finally taken off. I shut my eyes close and slowly open it so, it could adjust to the light.
Finally my eyes were fully opened. I gasp when i saw the Js with some instrument. They started singing while playing the instrumental.
I slowly settled my gaze on my boyfriend who was smiling at me as he played the instrument. He winked and i foolishly blus-hed. Even with the fact that he was my boyfriend i still blus-h over every little things.
Oh, you guys must be confuse. As you guys know, Josh had asked me to be his girlfriend the other day at the cliff. Well, i was a bit hesitant. I mean, i was scared of getting hurt again but Josh a-ssured me that he wouldn’t hurt me and that he would change for me. He would change for us. So yeah, i accepted to be his girlfriend. His REAL girlfriend.
“Happy birthday, princess.” Josh said after they had sang finish. We were both standing at the kitchen counter.
“thank you.” I said and as usual, i blus-hed.
“you look…ugly.” He said.
what? ug…ugly? I frowned at him. “thank you, Mr grumpy.” I spat as i scowled at him.
He laughed and leaned towards me. “just kidding, you are fu-cking beautiful with your hair down.” He smiled as he brushed his li-ps against mine.
“mmm-hmm.” i mumbled as i parted my li-ps for him. His tongue slowly slide into my mouth and we started ki-ssing pa-ssionately. My body was pressed against the kitchen counter while Josh hands were wrapped around my wa-ist.
I really want this guy. I can’t afford to lose him.
We pulled away just to catch our breath. Josh forehead rested on mine while his hand were still on my wa-ist and my hands were on his ch-est.
“how did you know that today was my birthday?”
I saw his li-ps stretch out in a smile. “your friends? C’mon, i need to know my girlfriend’s birthday.”
I chuckled. ”if i could remember clearly someone had said, and i quote, ‘you and i can never date. You are not my type. In fact, you can’t even be a hooker talk more on becoming my girlfriend. I don’t do girlfriends shit and most importantly, i don’t date tomboys.’ So tell me, what changed?” I teased.
He smir-ked. “hmm, what a great memory you have. Hope you haven’t forgotten about the m-oan from the concert?” He gave me a playfully questioning look.
”remind me about that day again and I’m going to cut off your balls.” I threatened and he laughed as he tuck my hair behind my ear and ki-ssed me again on my li-ps.
I took my hands and wrapped it around his ne-ck and pulled him closer. His hands on my wa-ist pulled me closer to him even more and the ki-ss became so intense and hot.
I slowly let out a soft m-oan . I felt the smirk that form on his face as he kept ki-ssing. He left my li-ps and started trailing ki-sses on my ne-ck. I tilt my head to the other side as he kept ki-ssing my jaws and ne-ck. I let out a m-oan again and ran my finger throu-ghhis soft hair.
He was so su-cking on my ne-ck when i felt something. Oh no. He didn’t.
“did you just gave me a Hi-ckey?”
He shrugged as he stare at me in the eyes. “maybe.”
“what?”
“hey, i need to leave a mark there just to inform the world that you are taken.”
“I’m gonna payback.”
“all talk and no action is so annoying, princess.” He smir-ked again.
Did he just insult me? Okay, yeah, he was right. I’ve always said i had revenge on Josh but i actually never did anything and now he sees me, as an empty threat. All talk and no action.
How about we prove him wrong? I smir-ked. Watch out, Josh.
†††
We were seated at the sitting room on the floor. Josh had excused himself to go get something from the sto-re room. I was just smiling when he had left.
We suddenly heard a loud scream and a curse followed after the scream. He has probably seen the co-ckroach. I got to find out from Johnny that Josh was always afraid of co-ckroach so i used that little information to my advantage. Am i not a genius? Okay, yeah, he is my boyfriend. But come on, having little fun wouldn’t be a bad idea, right?
We all made our way to the sto-re room and found Josh standing on a stool as he stared at the co-ckroaches in fear.
I tried holding unto the laugh but i couldn’t and i burst out laughing. The rest joined me and we all started laughing.
Josh 3 and Ashley 1. That was our score. You know what that means, you more pranks to go.
Jason killed the co-ckroach and took it out of the sto-re room before Josh hopped down from the stool. He was so embarra-ssed and caught sight of me laughing, that was when he knew i had something to do with co-ckroach. Good way, to start a birthday celebration.
†††
“who will get the drinks?” Kyle asked and i raised my hand immediately. “okay, birthday girl. Go get the drinks and hurry.”
I smiled before walking out to the kitchen. I smir-ked looking down at the drinks, here comes prank 2, watch out Josh.
I made my way to the sitting room with the drinks. I handed everyone their drinks including Josh.
I collected mine as well. We all cheers an pop the cap of the drinks off. Josh did the same and the contents in the bottle pop on his face.
“fu-ck!” He cursed.
Yeah, i had shake his own drink.
“seems like the heavens are angry with you.” Jasmine said as she started laughing.
Josh 3 vs Ashley 2. One more prank to go.
†††
Josh had changed into another clothes. He walked up to me with a stern look.
“you are the one doing this.”
“what? me? come on, babe why will i do that? huh?”
He stare at me closely. I tried holding the laughter. I really tried. But i couldn’t not when he had that funny look on his face.
“i knew it! ASHLEY!”
“You just called me by my name.”
“I’ve always called you by your name countless times.”
“only three times, Mr grumpy.”
He rolled his eyes. ”you count?”
“mmm- hmm.”
He laughs for a while. “funny you.” He ruffles my hair and i smiled.
“what will you like as a birthday gift?”
”a yin ne-cklace. I want to have that ne-cklace with you. I will take the yang and you will have the yin.”
“why will you take the yang?”
“hey, I love black, remember?”
“and i also love black as well. remember?”
I rolled my eyes. “I’m the birthday girl, remember?”
He smiled as he wrapped his arms on my wa-ist and pulled me closer to him. He leaned down and peck my li-ps.
“how can i forget.”
I smiled. I placed my head on his ch-est as i listened to the beat of his heart. They were a bit fast than usual. I love moment. This was the best birthday of my life.
“um, are you hungry?” I asked after a long silence.
He pulled away from me and i suddenly miss his touch and scent. “no, thank you. I don’t know the prank you have in mind again.” He said and quickly walked out of the kitchen.
I smiled and then my phone started ringing. i took it out of my pocket and stare at the ID caller, it was an unknown number.
I hesitate for a while before answering the call.
“hello?”
“hello, love. Can you still remember my voice?” That voice brou-ght shivers though my body. Evans. TBC.
A/N: Evans? what does Evans want from our dear princess again? Hmm, seems like the battle is just about to get started.
Hey, do you love the pranks done to Josh? I think i kinda loved it. Ashley is one smart girl.
Okay then. Hope you enjoy this chapter? Have fun while you read but don’t laugh too much o??.
