Brad’s eyes were later opened. He stared at the five beautifully wrapper gifts. He smiled and looked at the others seated. They all wore a smile. Brad inhaled deeply and started unwrapping them. He unwrapped all the gifts and smiled. He liked them but he liked one better.
“This stuff looks like me” Brad smiled taking a gift from the others. He lifted the gift on the air and showed it to others. It was a small round smiley face rubber emoji ?.
It was blue in colour. It standed out bold and thick. There was also a small light gold chain at the top.
“It’s cute. Who got this for me?” He asked.
No one answered. There was deep silence.
“Huh? Who wrapped this up?” He asked again now in the state of curiosity. Slowly, Malia stood up.
“Wow. Was it you?” He asked. Malia nodded.
“I decided to get that because I knew you had everything. It is a smiley face so whenever you are sad. You can just look at it… Oh! Can you squeeze it a little?” Malia asked
“Oh…Brad paused and gently squeezed it. It made a cute sound and said ;”Smile, Brad”
“Wow.. It just said my name. This is really the best gift. Others are cool though. How did you do that, Lia ?” Brad asked stunned
“You don’t have to ask. There’s enough cash!” Malia chuckled
“Well.. I guess. And oh.. That voice in it–
“It’s yours right?” Brad cut in Malia’s statement smiling happily.
“Yeah” She replied
“It’s cute” He whispered staring into her eyes.
Malia nervously blinked her eyes. “Thank you, Happy Birthday again, Brad” She commented.
Brad nodded still smiling. “I wonder who got these gifts, Which are yours guys?” He asked
“I own the bow tie” Newton said
“I own the wrist watch” Blaze commented
“I own the shoes” Elle smiled
“While I own the Brad Stickers!” Samantha gushed as every one laughed.

“Now, It’s time for cutting of the cake. Uhmm, I’m gonna light the candles–Make a wish, Brad and blow the candles” Newton said.
“Uhh, I know we all have wishes here. I don’t wanna be greedy and selfish cause you all tried, seriously.. Now, Can you guys all make a wish with me. Let’s blow these candles together?” Brad asked
The girls looked at each other, sighed deeply and turned to brad.
“Okay Brad. We can’t say NO. It’s your birthday after all” Samantha responded.
“Thank you Softball… Let’s close our eyes and make our secret wishes” Brad said as they all closed their eyes.
Later on, They opened their eyes and blew out the candles in the count of Three. They clapped their hands happily and hoped for their different wishes to come true.
After that, They all took numerous pictures with their different phones. Some were funny, cute and sweet.
They enjoyed the cake and the Birthday Dinner.

***********************
It was already 11:30 pm. Giselle went home immediately it clocked 9:15 because of her family. Also, The church’s gate was gonna be locked around 10:00 pm. The girls had arrived at the birthday dinner around 7:25pm.
Soon, Malia’s parents called her to hurry home. They were worried about their daughter’s welfare. Now, It was only Samantha around.
They all drank to stupor. They drank a lot of beer and got a little drunk. Blaze stood up and walked to his bedroom tiredly. He laid on his bed and started dozing off.
.

Samantha didn’t know what she was doing any longer. She found herself walking down to Blaze bedroom. She opened it and saw him asleep. She smiled and blushed happily. She staggered to the bed and slept close to him. She was face to face with him. His eyes were closed as Samantha stared at him. She chuckled softly.
Minutes Later, The door flunged open. It was Brad. It was also quite drunk. He walked up to the bed and slept behind Samantha.
Now Samantha was in the middle of both guys though her eyes couldn’t get over Blaze. She smiled as she continued staring at him.
As if that wasn’t enough, Newton came in. His eyes caught them. Though, He was quite drunk like the rest. He still managed to jack Brad and pulled him down on the floor.
Brad fell down with a heavy thud though he was not moved. The sleep had taken over him entirely.
Newton smiled and slept behind Samantha now on the bed. He was feeling sleepy already. He wrapped his arms around Samantha’s waist and made her back his pillow. He smiled as “sleep” took over his eyes. Samantha wiggled uncomfortably feeling Newton’s touch on her. Although, Her eyes were still on Blaze.
Suddenly, Blaze eyes opened wide. He stared at Samantha whose eyes were now twitching. He smiled and wrapped his arms around her waist too. Samantha felt her heart nearly bursting out of her chest.
Samantha saw Blaze face coming closer to hers. She closed her eyes quickly and felt his lips slightly touch hers.
Slowly, He took his lips off hers. Samantha opened her eyes and looked at him. Samantha smiled and also wrapped her arms tightly around him taking her head to lay in his comfortable wide manly chest.
“Sa—Blaze tried saying as he brought Samantha closer to him.Then,He paused. He was still drunk and feeling very sleepy. “Sam” He finally said in a very low whisper. A bright smile from no where, came to his face and he found himself in a nice dream.
