“Here comes the cake!!” Valentina exclaimed bringing the cake from the kitchen.
“Cake!!” Myles smiled, lic-king his li-ps…
Valentina placed it in front of Ricardo who ki-ssed her cheek as a ‘thank you’.
“So what are you waiting for Ricardo? Cut the cake!!” Harlin exclaimed.
Ricardo smiled and took the knife then slowly cut the cake while the rest sang the song for him. Valentina took a picture of the moment…
“Happy birthday to you!!” They concluded and all clapped for him. Valentina came forward and hu-gged him before pecking him…
“Can we eat the cake now” Myles blurted out.
Valentina chuckled and went forward to share the cake. She shared it and the whole family ate happily and heartily.
“Thanks for this little surprise love” Ricardo said as he fed Valentina.
“I know you don’t like big pa-rties so I thought of this. Hope you liked it” Valentina smiled..
“I just don’t like it…I love it! This is the best birthday I’ve ever had since ages” Ricardo smiled.
He sp-otted a stain of chocolate on Valentina’s li-ps. She made to clean it but he held her hand.
“Let me help you…” He smi-rked and leaned forward then ki-ssed her, lic-king off the chocolate off her li-ps.
“Rick!! What if your parents saw us?!” Valentina said eyeing Ricardo’s parents.
“Well let them see… Not like they don’t know we’re dating, besides we’re adults…” Ricardo ru-bbe-d her cheek, staring at her lovingly.
“I love you so much Valentina, you don’t even have any idea of” Ricardo smiled.
Valentina smiled and ru-bbe-d his cheek too.
“Love you too very much darling,,” Valentina smiled. Ricardo leaned forward and ki-ssed her briefly before resuming feeding her.

TWILIGHT HIGH**
“Where’s Gavin? He’s been gone for like two hours… Cl@$$es are even over” Iris asked, walking out with the girls…
“That’s really strange, Kim I saw your mom in school… Maybe they went back” Riley said.
“But why?” Kimberly muttered…
She sp-otted her driver waiting already for her.
“Girls, think I’ll nee-d to go now. Bye girls,,, Iris come let me drop you off you work” Kimberly said.
“Oh okay. Thank you” Iris smiled and the left for Kimberly’s car.
“Bye girls!” Iris waved before entering, followed by Kimberly.
“Now that they’re gone, let’s discuss about Luca” Charlotte turned and faced Riley..
“I heard you confess to him that day and also you gave him the br@celet he’s wearing right now” Charlotte said.
“Huh?!” Riley exclaimed. She slowly looked down feeling embarr@$$ed.
“Don’t feel embarr@$$ed, it’s normal to fall in love. After all, you’re a girl and Luca is a cool guy” Charlotte smiled.
“Yeah, but in the past I was a je-rk and a mean girl… What if he now dislikes me?” Riley said.
“You’ll never know unless you come clean to him..” Charlotte said.
“Oh okay. I’ll try but I can’t @$$ure you anything” Riley sighed.
“Okay, that’s better” Charlotte smiled and began heading to her car.
“Do you still love him?” Riley blurted out. That made Charlotte stop on her track.
“Not at all… I’m over him and that’s better” Charlotte replied and without looking back, she left.
Riley smiled, watching her car drive away…
“Thank you” She muttered and began walking away…

THE WHITE HOUSE**
“Gavin, why did you just suddenly disappear without warning us” Kimberly barged in Gavin’s room.
She met him lying on his be-d with his headsets on. His right fist was wrapped in a white bandage…
“Gavin, what’s wrong?” Kimberly slowly walked to him and sat down beside Gavin.
Gavin slowly opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling.
“Xander’s plan finally succeeded.” Gavin muttered.
“Huh?” Kimberly said.
“He finally succeeded in separating us…” Gavin said and sat down on the be-d.
He took de-ep breaths and then slowly told all what happened to Kimberly. Her eyes grew by the minute.
“A restraining order?!” Kimberly exclaimed.
“Yeah… I can’t even talk to Iris, talkless of calling her on phone. I can’t even text her… I feel like a pa-rt of me has been deprived from me” Gavin said sadly…
“Iris will be so sad when she hears about this” Kimberly muttered.
Gavin stood from his be-d and sat down on his reading table. He brou-ght out a pen and page and then began writing on it…
Once he was done, he kept back the pen and handed the paper to Kimberly.
“Please give her this for me. Make sure she doesn’t cry too much…. She might seem tough but she’s a hu-ge crybaby” Gavin smiled sadly.
“This is really touching…” Kimberly cleaned her tears and nodded then looked at the paper in her hands…

NIGHTSHINE CLUB**
“Miss!!” The client yelled.
Iris jo-lted off from her thoughts. Today, she’s been spacing off abit. Maybe its because she misses Gavin right now.
She looked at the ne-cklace he gave her and sighed before going to take the order of the person who was calling her attention.
“W@$$up pretty, we’re back!!” Two boys said. From the looks, they were around her age or even older.
Iris rolled her eyes and made to leave but one them held her arm.
“What’s wrong baby?… We just wanna talk” He said.
“Yea, and your knight in shining armor ain’t here. Better” The other one said.
“Just bug off” Iris yanked his hand off.
“That’s no way to talk to your customer!” He grabbe-d her hand… This time more rou-ghly.
Iris struggled to get out of his grip…
“And that’s no way to treat a lady. What were your parents doing that they didn’t educate you on how to be a gentleman” A voice said behind them.
They turned back and immediately froze as all colors drained from their faces. Who won’t know this man?
“Tsk!, kids of nowadays…so stubborn” Mr Baxter shook his head.
“What are you still standing here in front of me?” He asked.
No one nee-d to tell them that they nee-d to run away. They immediately took off to their heels and rushed out of the club.
“Thank you Mr Baxter” Iris bowed.
“I see your boyfriend told you about me” He said and went to sit down on an empty seat.
“A gl@$$ of whiskey with ice in it… Today was a really busy day” He said.
Iris just looked at him for a whole before going to get his order. She was confused…
On normal basis he could have allowed those men har@$$ her since she was an obstacle to Emery and Gavin betrothal but instead he helped her.
“He’s weird” Iris muttered.
“Here’s your drink sir” Iris served him.
“Thanks. Here’s the money and you can keep the change” He said and sipped on his drink then sighed satisfactorily..
“I know you’re probably confused and I’ll tell you to stop trying to un-derstand me for you’ll never succeed. Only one person un-derstood me… Like I told Gavin I won’t meddle in your relationship. If you’re meant to be then cool and if you aren’t meant to be well cool too. You won’t be the first couple to experience heartbreak anyways” He sipped on his drink.
Iris crea-sed her brows for a while before slowly leaving him. She worked till her hours of work were over. She wore her coat and walked out, heading home.

NEXT MORNING**
“See you later mom!! Bye Tina, safe trip” Iris smiled and walked out of their house. She sighed disappointedly when she didn’t see Gavin’s car nor him waiting for her…
“I’m getting too attached to him…” Iris thought…
She began her walk to school, smiling as she watched kids pla-y in the snow. Who wouldn’t be excited when Christmas is in two weeks..
She exhaled loudly when she sp-otted her school. With a loud sigh, she slowly walked in.
To her surprise, the students weren’t staring at her with the same look like yesterday. Maybe the news quickly died down.
“Hey girls” Iris smiled when she saw the girls..
The girls all looked at her with worried eyes most especially Kimberly. Iris noticed it and the smile she had on her li-ps slowly fell.
“What’s wrong?” Iris asked curiously…
The girls looked at Kimberly. Kimberly brou-ght out the letter from her bag and stared at it..
“Gavin asked me to give you this…” Kimberly said slowly.
Iris looked at the letter and then back at them before slowly collecting it. She opened it and began reading it in her mind.
?Babe, if you’re reading this then I’m probably in the shower or I’m listening to my music…trying to cheer myself up. You won’t see me for three days, we’ll because I got a three days suspension for beating up that moron. Not that but my mom…she filed a restraining order against YOU. She forbids me from seeing you and failure of doing so will warrant yoir arrest… Right now, I am angry, sad, I feel useless… Sorry I can’t be with you nor even talk to you…?
Iris’s grip on the letter loose-ned before she could even finish reading the letter. Her hands flew to her li-ps as tears slowly streamed down her cheek.
“It’s my fault…it’s all my fault” Iris cried.
“No Iris…it’s not your fault… Gavin did the right thing by fighting that Xander. I’m sure he’ll find a way out of this” Kimberly said.
“But if I didn’t fall for him then this wouldn’t have happened… It’s all my fault” Iris cried and ran off.
This time she locked herself in the restroom and then slowly slumped down on the floor.
She looked at the ne-cklace she had on her ne-ck with teary eyes and then ki-ssed it before closing her eyes, bringing the ne-cklace close to her heart.
Suddenly memories of the beautiful things they did together. The visit at his secret place, how he usually escort her to the club and also home, how he usually came to pick her up to school, the time they pla-yed truth or dare and he dared her to do a lap dance on him, how he drank toilet water for her…
A smile broke up on her li-ps and she looked back at the ne-cklace though tears where still in her eyes.
“I’m never giving up on you my cute je-rk… Never” Iris muttered.
She wiped off her tears and stood then opened the door before leaving
T.B.C
That’s the spirit Iris?
