OH MY GOSH! What do i say? I pondered in thoughts. He's gonna kill me then slice me when he finds out. Gosh, he might know i'm hiding something. Keep it cool, Sharon.

"I called you severally last night but you didn't pick any of my calls. For God's sake, what the hell is he doing with you, huh?"
Aaron just looked away like he never heard what he said. Being with a guy like him, you have to tolerate his habit.
"Sorry, Stephen. I was at home last night. What time did you come? Maybe that was the time i left to see a friend."
"Very good. I just caught you in the act. You were never around because i was at your door step a...ll ni..ght long. Allison wasn't around too. So tell me, you were with him right?" Stephen asks.
"Stephen, i can explain. It's definitely not what you think."
"I'm thinking nothing. C'mon, Sharon i was just pulling your legs. I know you kinda went to your friends place and met Aaron at the door step. Isn't it? Believe me, i understand," He lied.
"I don't want to ruin this moment," He hugs me.
This feels so... awkward. This is not the Stephen i know. Did he read the bible or what?
"Happy birthday Sharon."
"What? Today is my birthday?" I exclaimed. I swear, i can't believe this.
"Yes, it is. I know you would have forgotten."
"Oh my! I can't believe this. I didn't make any plans. My dress, my hair, new shoes, my friends, everything."
"It's okay. It's all settled."
"Hey, Sharon you know i would have told you the words but i'm just hearing it now, so, Happy birthday,"
Stephen rolled his eyes.
Stephen's pov
Just get the fuck out of here because i'm losing my patience. What is he trying to feel like. Besides, I'm the first and the first always wins.

"To this pretty, gorgeous lady." He hugs me.
Stephen flinched but i gave him a look saying, 'not to worry'
"Thanks."
I switched on my phone and saw a lot of Happy birthday messages from my friends, Bella, Helen,jane, so on. And also My mom, Carly, Matt and Dad. I was really happy.
"I know there's a surprised party but you spoiled it just to be the first. What am i going to wear?"
"Yeah,yeah,yeah. They are on your bed,"
"Aaron, won't you leave my girlfriend and i alone, together?"
"Won't you leave my girlfriend and i alone, together?" Stephen said with a frustrated look.
*********
"For god's sake Stephen, Are you starting this again?"
"What? I'm just saying what a normal guy would say or are you uncomfortable seeing both of us together?"
"Sorry to be rude Sharon but Stephen she's not the hottest chick in the world and i can fuck as many as i want. One more thing, You being together with her does not bother me."
"Just let my girl to be out of those 'as many as you want.' Then me and you are cool."
I gulped in my saliva, as i heard those words. Guilty conscience.
"I'm leaving if that's what will satisfy you."
"Em, Aaron, so sorry you can't be invited. The list is just too full. I wish you could come, really." Stephen says with a smirk on his face.
"You wish." Aaron slammed the door.
"You just wait. Your worst nightmare is coming to you Stephen. I promise you." Aaron said as he left.

"Is there anything wrong with what i have said?" Stephen asked Sharon.
"You sound exactly like my dad." I took the red dress on my bed that Stephen bought for me.
"Really?"
"Yeah."
I pulled off my clothes and went to have a quick bathe. My mind was still trying to think about how that incident happened.
"Not now Sharon, not today."
********
My mom, Carly, Matt, Bella were busy making the preparations at the house.
"Tori! Don't go near the cake!"
"But mom just a little bite."
"You will ruin it."
"Let me eat something. I can hold it anymore!"
"Here, take this chocolate and go to your room."Matt says.
"I'm not going. I don't want to."
Matt carries her to her room.
"Drop me down! I'm not a baby! Let me go Matt!"
***********
I wore the dress and put on a light make-up. I wore black heels.
"You look beautiful."
"Thank you."
I locked the door and entered Stephen's lamborghini.
Stephen texted them that we were on our way coming.
********
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" They said out loud as i came in.
They sang the 'birthday song'. I was about crying but i pushed the tears back in.
Unfortunately, it busted out.
My mom hugged me. My dad wasn't able to because he was on the phone. Stephen went outside to pick an urgent call. He said it was his dad. Bella and i were talking when he left.
Stephen's pov
"Hello, dad."
"Where are you right now?" He asks.
"My girlfriend's. Is something wrong?"
"I need to see you. We need to talk."
"You can say it on the phone."
"Come to the next street. You will see a black car parked at the side of the road. Enter it. I won't take much of your time."
I signed. "Okay, I'm on my way."
I spotted the black car and hopped in.
"Dad, what are you doing here? Are you spying on me?"
"Yes, I noticed you've been spending a lot of your time with that girl."
"That's because i love her and i want to spend my life with her."
"You talk like a child. You know there's no such thing as love. There was no love between your mother and i when we got married. It was just business."
"Well, i wouldn't want my life to be so ruined and boring as yours."
"I don't want you with that girl. It will spoil everything i have built."
