Birthday presents

After partying the rest of the night, they came back home to Old Man.... They met him in the living room. It was like he waited for them all night...

"Old Man we're back" Zairo announced

"Yes I can see that.., they could sense the seriousness in his voice.... It's 5am in the morning and you are just entering the house... Why??

" there was traffic...., the Tridox were many this time...., the Cats were vicious... they echoed together, spewing the first rubbish that came out of their mouths. They knew they were not fooling anyone.

" I'm sorry Old Man Sam, they we're late because of me.... They wanted to help me celebrate my birthday.... It's all my fault"

"well if you are sorry, don't just stand there, let's have some cake, I've been waiting for you guys for hours..... I even almost had a bite without you....

" Old Man Sam, cake?? We love you so so much.... She said and ran over to him and gave him a hug... Zairo and Jato were already seated at the table, ready to devour the cake....

"Don't you dare touch that cake, if I could wait hours, then you can wait longer.... Old man ordered, and they made pouting faces.

They all sat round the table, sang a happy birthday song for chinju and then.. She made a wish and then blew out the candles.

C-H-I-N-J-U...., she cut the cake after they called out U. Tears welled up in her eyes, she really loved it, she could not ask for a better family than this one.... She cut a slice of cake for each of them, Zairo and Jato immediately devoured it.

"Chinju here I got this for you.. Happy birthday dear".... Old Man said, handing her a bag.... "awnnnn, you didn't have to do this....." she probably would have complained the whole year if he did not" Jato whispered to Zairo.., but loud enough for Chinju to hear also., and she threw him a deadly glance.....

"how about you guys, you didn't get anything for me?? She asks pretending to be less concerned about it..." I don't know of Jato but I did not..., or Jato did you..., get anything for her??... "No..., no I didn't?? He answered nonchalantly.... Focusing on the cake.

Chinju is boiling with rage inside her.., she looks at Old man with a face of a child whose toy was taken, and is trying really hard to not cry about it.... He just gestures her to calm down which she does...., but then... Zairo spoke...,

"truth be told.., I was really going to get you something, I was going to get you a b..b...b.... He was trying to hold back but he couldn't, he bust out laughing as he said... I was going to get you a bra, but I decided that you don't need it because those things never grew bigger... He said as he laughed out loudly, Jato was really trying to hold back his laughter, he was really trying, he even pinched Zairo to stop laughing because it made him want to laugh too... When he couldn't control it anymore, he too bust out laughing.

To the annoyance of Chinju, he was always doing this, teasing her about her boobs ever since she turned sixteen. He would say girls of her age already had boobs as big as watermelons, and hers were like the watermelon's seed. He even nicknamed her FLATTY, because she had small boobs.. She was twenty today and he still found the time to tease her.... She was now totally red. You could literally see the steam coming out of her nose and head.... Without much thought, she picked up the cake and shoved it into Zairo's face. The laughter seized..., Jato swiped some icing from Zairo's face and licked it...

"you taste sweet".....then he started laughing and even Chinju found it funny that she joined the laughter.....

Zairo who didn't find it funny, took some cake, and pasted it on Jato's face... "Now you look sweet".....

Old Man who knew what was going to follow this, took the knife, cut out a piece of cake and then left the table.

As soon as he left, the battle began... They were throwing cake at each other, Old man just sat on one chair, eating his cake. He watched them laughing, wasting cake, but they were laughing. And that meant a lot to him. Seeing them happy together, always looking out for each other, they were like cat and rat sometimes, but there was love and care between them. They showed it in different ways....They had grown up well.

After the cake fight, Zairo and Jato went into their room and brought her gifts. It turns out that they actually had something for her but they just loved teasing her.... As she collected the gifts, she suddenly had thankful puppy eyes.....

"you really thought we wouldn't get you anything huh?? Jato said as he playfully ruffles her hair.....

" would you let us ever rest if we don't??.. And besides if we don't get you gifts, who will....you are the baby of the house, and my dear Flatty..... He said while straightening up her ruffled her....

She was really happy, being called Flatty, did not even annoy her. For this moment, she loved the nickname... It made her feel special... She could not control her emotions anymore.., she threw herself on them both, jumping to be able to reach their necks, because they were both very tall. She hugged them both tightly....

"We know.., we know.., you love us a lot, you don't have to say it".... Jato said teasingly.... Enough now.., open up the presents....

Like realizing that that was actually much more important, she moved away from them both...and went back to the dining table to grab the gift Old Man had given her, then she brought it all to the living room.

She opened up Old man's own and her mouth went... Hooooooooo..... Ahhhhhhhh..... "What., what.., you don't like it?? Old man asked as she squealed.... Oh my Gosh.... Oh my Gosh.... Oh my Gosh..... This can't be..... No it's not.... This is the Queen's XL.., it's a limited edition, it must have cost a fortune..., how in the world did you get it... Oh my Gosh it's so beautiful, oh my Gosh I love it Old Man thank you.... Do you know that Queen's only made thirty of these boots..., it literally is almost impossible to get.....

Zairo and Jato on the other hand looked really shocked to see Old man's gift...

"Thank you so much Old Man"..., she stands up and gives him a hug again..... Still in the joy of her first present, she moves to her next present.

"Chinju, I think you don't really need to open it now, you can open it later. You are already tired now... Look it's already 7:15am...

Jato says pointing at the wall clock.... Yes, I don't think you need to open it now... Zairo also backed him up..

" why? are you feeling intimidated huh?... You feel like Old Man's gift will beat yours right.... They both nodded.... Well don't worry, no matter what I will accept it...

She opened Jato's own and....

" oh my gosh... You gotta be kidding me..., you also got me a Queen's XL boot.., this is insane.., I have two out of thirty that was made..., wait a minute.. She shifts her glance towards Zairo's present. She grabs it like someone was dragging it with her, tears it open and VOILÀ....

"I can't believe it.., I have three Queen's XL boots.., and in the three colors they were made....

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH..... She almost choked.

This is the best birthday ever.....
