" Looks who is here?" Cyma said as they got back
" Good, you're all here. Connor will be here any minute" Tyler said putting off the light
" Why are you talking me here this late, I'm tired" Connor said ashe entered with Tara
" Surprise!" they all yelled as the lights went on
" Happy birthday Connor!" They said
" OMG, you guys" Connor said looking around at the decoration
" This is for you" cyma said giving him the video game
" Don't tell me this is the latest edition"
" Bet it is"
" You really did this much for me " Connor said hugging cyma
" Okay, don't get too clingy" she said breaking free
" Peter dropped this for you" Vinny said giving him6 the wrapped box
" Peter?" Connor asked confused
" Yeah" Vinny said
" Peter Simon" Connor asked surprise
" We are shocked as you are" Tyler said
" I'm not surprised" cyma said winking at Kiara and she shook her head jokingly
" Open it, let's see" Vinny said and Connor unboxed it.
It was a brand new smart watch, the latest edition.
" OMG, I can't believe it" Connor said
" Wow, nice" cyma said seeing his reaction
" I like yours better, no need to be jealous" Connor said
" Who knew Peter had a good side in him" Tyler said
" Someone is bringing out the good side" cyma said looking at Kiara again
" Okay, I'm seeing lot of new faces" Connor said
" This is Vinny, Leo and Kiara" Tyler said
" Tara did a good job by keeping all these away from me" Connor said looking around again
" Yeah, and where is Tara?" Douglas asked
" She should be here any minute" Vinny said smiling
" What are you up to?" Cyma asked him
" You'll see" Vinny said
" Happy birthday" Jeremy said coming in with Tomika
" You guys are here too" Connor said
" Tara invited us" Mika said
" Hey" Alexandria said coming in as well
" You came as well" Connor said
" Yeah, happy birthday. Sorry I didn't get you anything" she said
" It's fine, you coming here is something" he said
" Looks like those two are into something" Mika said
" You said he's into Tara some days ago" Jeremy said
"I wasn't sure, they just look like they like each other" Mika said
" I don't think Alex is into him, he's not her type of guy" Jeremy said
" We will just ask then" Mika said
" Ask?, she's still angry at us" Jeremy said
" Not for long, here she comes" Mika said as Alex approached them
" Hey" Mika said
" Why I'm not surprised to see you guys here?" Alex said
" You look good" Jeremy said
" As usual" Mika said
" I'm still mad at you guys" Alex said and the whole room went silent as Tara walked in.
She was stunning, her dress, her hair, her bag, her shoe, everything was given.
" So, this is what you were up to" cyma said
" I knew you were the right guy for the job" Tyler said
" Connor can't take her eyes off her" Vinny said
" I don't think it's only Tyler, even Jeremy " Kiara said
" Happy birthday" Tara said
" What's the occasion?" Connor asked
" Your birthday dummy" Tara said
" The celebrant didn't even dress up, don't you think you're over dressed" Connor said
" Gather around" Douglas said
" The delivery guy" Jeremy thought
" I just want to use this opportunity to wish connor a happy birthday, and drinks on the house" He said
" Thanks Douglas" Connor said
" Hey, remember me?" Jeremy said approaching Douglas at the counter
" No, have we met before?"
" Yeah, you delivered to a house some days back"
" Oh, I have delivered to many house... I can't remember "
" A girl answered and both of you were staring at each other weirdly"
" A girl?"
" Yeah, tall, fine, slim, long hair..."
" Oh the girl that ordered burger and shake"
" I actually don't know what she ordered"
" I delivered at the Richards?"
" Yeah"
" Richards?" Tara said approaching
" Ummm..... My dad works there, he's there butler so I went to see him" Jeremy lied
" Oh okay" Tara said then she faced Douglas
" Cocktail please" Tara said
" Nice try, I'm not giving you" Douglas said
" Even on this special day, can't today be an exception"
" Ummm... Nope" Douglas said giving her juice
" You're welcome" he said as she took the cup with a swollen face
" Hey" Jeremy said following Tara
" Hey" she said
" I can get you that cocktail" Jeremy said
" No way, Douglas won't give you that easily"
" Not from Douglas"
" Then from where, we are underaged"
" You'll see, meet me at the park tomorrow evening"
" What are you planning?"
" You'll see" he said smiling
" And squeezing your face like this makes you look even cuter" he said and she gave him a confused look
" Cuter?"
" I'm just joking, you look like Megan" he said laughing
"Funny"
" You look good though" he said and she couldn't help but blush
" Thanks, you aren't bad too you know"
" A compliment huh?"
" No it's the truth"
" Telling me the truth now?"
" What are friends for?"
" So you finally accepted" he said as hugged her
" Yeah, why are you so happy about it" she said as he released her
" It's nice making new friends" he said
" Yeah"
" So, see you tommorow at the park"
" If my schedule isn't tight, I'm a busy person you know"
" Yeah, I can see how busy you are" he said chuckling and she smiled
" I'll try and add you to my tight schedule then" she said before leaving unknown to her that Connor was watching them from a distance.
" Hey" Tara said approaching him
" What is it?" He asked
" Come with me, I want to show you my present" she said dragging him outside through the back door
" Why are we here?" He asked
" Inside is a bit noisy don't you think?"
" I thought you were enjoying your time in there, I mean you and that guy again"
" You jealous?"
" I'm happy for you, that's if you're happy. I don't just know what you see in that guy" he said and she smiled as she held his hands in hers as she stared into his eyes
" Exactly, I don't know what I see in you that makes me so crazy about you.. that makes me so into you. It just..."
" Did you just say you into me?"
" Well, if that's what you heard"
" I must be hearing things then"
" Of course that's what I said" she said
" You're joking?" He said getting up and breaking free from her
" I know you might not feel the same way, I don't mind. I just couldn't keep hiding something this big from you, I just wanted to lift the burden from my heart. I hope this doesn't affect our friendship in a bad way and ..."
" At least you said it, you're better than me who is still keeping it" he said and he faced her
" I've been a coward but not anymore, I've like you since elementary school but I was too scared to express my feelings and you did it again... Just like always, showing me the way" he said
" Are you saying you feel the same way too?" She asked
" Yes, I'm crazy about you Tara bakers. Would you be my girlfriend?" He asked and she smiled
" I'll think about it" she said
" What's there to think about, you just said you like me"
" Yeah, but I'm a girl with some dignity left in her so I'll think about it"
" As you wish my lady" he said as he sat beside her back
She held his hand as they both looked at the moon, and then she pinned her lips to his
" That's your gift" she said smiling
" Is that a yes?"
" Can't you even wait for a week"
" A week?"
" Few days then"
" Few days?"
" How about tomorrow"
" That's much better, that's if I make it to tommorow with the amount of excitement in me" he said and she smiled
" What would you have done if I didn't feel the same?" He asked
" Move on"
" Would you still have given me a kiss as my gift"
" I don't know, and I guess we'll never know" she said smiling unknown to them that Alex was watching them
