"Thank you for coming, really." Tyler says bashfully as he receives his gifts from four very excited girls, they looked like chipmunks finally finding a nut and honestly as funny it was Tyler could get used to these sincere joy.
"Of course we would come, this is our brother's birthday!"
Mirriam said as she pump fists hım then she puts her gift next to Tyler's couch, and places herself to the soft pillow's
"This party is gonna be WİLD!!!"
Abby screams and places her gift to next to Mirriam's
"You WİLL love what I've got for you."
She giggled, and then started to wiggle around the room.
"Happy birthday dude."
Priya says in her usual monotone voice and hands the gift to Tyler.
"So where's the others?"
She asks as she sits on the couch.
"Well…"
Tyler fidged his shirt as he averted his eyes.
"İ only called you girls."
Tyles says as his face gets warmer, he hides his face with his right hand and mumbles a bit.
"İ thought…"
He looks down at the ground and basically gets all the attention of the girl's.
"You what?"
Mirriam asks within a soft gentle voice, there was real curiosity behind her voice but it didn't felt any pushy.
"İt'll be better with you guys, y'know…"
Tyler puts his hand behind the back of his neck, scratching as he tries to look at the girl's eyes.
"Because you guys are kinda my real friends."
He says in a low tone as his voice cracks, his face gets red all over, making him look like an sweet red apple which was only heart-warming to look at. Seeing the little ex bully coming out of his shell would make any normal human being at least bit happy after all.
Abby then embraces his legs then rubs his face against Tyler's naked legs.
"You are sooo cute!!"
She then started to chuckle with juvenile joy.
"Warn us before getting all emotional dude."
Mirriam adds and leans towards Tyler, she then stokes his hair lovingly and gingerly.
"We became your warm and fuzzy blanket too huh?"
Priya says as the corner of her lips curled up slightly.
"OKAY that's enough, İ am gonna regret saying that."
Tyler screams and tries to push both Mirriam and Abby.
Then they hear the door ringing.
"Must be Mei, I must go!"
Tyler says and rushes to open the door, and likely runs away from two very loving girls.
But not for so long.
"Mei you have to hear this!!!"
Abby screams and runs to their side, and then she helds Mei's arm and pulls her closer to herself.
Tyeler hold her shirt and tries to stop her but it was too late for hım
"Tyler said we are his true friends hehehe"
She helds Mei's cheeks on her palms.
"İsn't it sick!"
She shakes her joy and the good news makes her smile lightly. Her eyes laughed first, her eyes were to be easily amused. The rest of her being followed swiftly. She laughed, and Abby laughed with her.
"Okay okay that's enough."
Tyler separates the girl's and soon recieves a warm tight hug from Mei.
"That's so adorable of you!"
She says as she rubs her lightly to his cheeks, and Priya adds.
"We are the only ones to be invited too."
She giggles between her teeths as she sees Tyler basically turning into a red panda himself.
"Now what are we gonna do?"
Mirriam asks.
"İ was thinking about watching a movie, eating the birthday cake then opening my presents but now all I want iş you four to go."
Tyler groaned as he told his plans.
"Aww don't be like that, you know you want us~"
Mei said and caressed his hair.
"Fine, fine, just sit on the couch and be quiet."
He orders around and for once Mei listens hım.
"Okay now what do you guys want to watch?"
Priya looked at Abby then Mirriam, she signed Mirriam to ask the question.
“Have you heard of ‘The Night2”?”
Tyler looked at Mirriam with confusion.
"No, why?"
He asked, then 3 girls started to giggle lightly.
"Well then we must watch it!!"
Abby said and signed Mirriam to get up, then Mei talked.
"But isn't it-"
But Abby shut her up with her hand, then she gently placed her to the couch and Priya pulled Tyler to next to her.
Mirriam took a CD from a bag she brought and they started to watch the movie.
3 girls were sitting on the floor while Tyler and Mei sat right next to each other.
The movie was about a Vampire boy crushing on a human and turning her into a vampire as well.
İt had many rather sensual, romantic and something definitely not for their age.
This kind of movie was not his taste but he couldn't say no to the girls so he forced himself to look like he was watching at least.
But three of them didn't care much about thay.
They were more into what kind of romantic moment they could create with those two.
Unfortunately for their luck half of the movie nothing much happened.
"Girls time out!"
Abby yelled and stopped the movie.
"Wait, what? What does that even mean?"
Tyler asked, with a half sleepy voice.
"İt's time for girls to gather up dear, meaning no boys allowed."
Priya said as she pulled Mei's leg.
"Come on Mei, Abby, Priya let's go to the kitchen for a sec."
Mirriam said and three of them followed her to the kitchen, which wasn't too hard to find.
"Okay, what's going on? What are you guys planning to do?"
Mei crossed her arms, her voice came rather angry.
"Come on Mei-Mei, you gotta understand!"
Abby said as she poked her tummy with her elbow.
Mei's jaw clenched and her lips curled.
"İ don't. Explain."
She said in a flat voice with a heavy tone.
"Don't get all angry, Mei. Just think about it for a second."
Mirriam puts her hand on Mei's shoulders and gives her a warm but cunning grin.
"You, hım. Together watching a romantic movie. Put the pieces together."
And it hits Mei.
"Oh… OH"
That triumphant grin covered her face. That look of pure, malevolent glee.
"Come on girl, it's your chance to make some move"
Priya said. Mei shook her head as "yes I've got this" and they went to Tyler's side.
Mei sat closer to hım this time, and soon as the movie continued her hand touched his, loosely holding onto each other’s hands she laid her head onto his head.
Tyler's heart raced in silent terror, sending warm blood to his freckled face and he feared that he looked an unsophisticated fool, especially when Mei snirked subtly on his way.
"You are too close."
He shrugged, feeling a warm glow rise up into my face and somehow, He knew my cheeks were pink.
And then he dared to look at Mei, the joy in her smile and the obvious look of embarrassment from her rose colored cheeks were simply adorable
Tyler couldn't help but blush even harder, and Mei didn't respond to Tyler.
They stayed like that until the movie ended, no one actually watched the movie though.
Everyone was more focused on the two not so couples.
Then they eat their cake.
The cake upon his birthday was a gift of the heart, for in that moment of giving lives a moment of divine vulnerability. In that, more than a sweet treat, it was a gift of part of the self, a chance to deepen bonds of love.
That's why it tasted better than any cake Tyler had until that day.
And it was time to open up the gifts.
Abby gave hım a copy of a 4*Town albüm
Mirriam's gift was a binder since Tyler mentioned wanting a one for the future.
And Priya got hım basketball with 4*Town theme.
Mei's gift was an special one
She asked him to close his eyes.
And so did Tyler.
Her lips brushed his, softly, delicately, like butterfly wings, just long enough that he could inhale her breath, feel the warmth of her skin, and the taste of her cherry lipstick lingered far after she had gone.
"Happy birthday Tyler."
She said then she smiled. Her pink lips curved, her rosy cheeks glowed. A irresistible, tender, captivating smile on her face, spontaneously puts up a smile on his too.
"Thank you"
