Back in the streets of New York lived a
small family in a ...
And candles . The inside was full of
bright smiles and warm happiness.
Jenifer Darcy was celebrating her 17
birthday that day. From going to the
same routine every year to ending the
day with a surprise her family made for
her. It was her main present and what
she was expecting and waiting for the
most on her birthday.
She put up a dress , light blue that's
getting darker by its edge, and she put
her favourite ring on her left hand.
Her eyes were excited and she took a
good look of herself in the mirror.
Brown eyes like chocolate was looking
at her playfully, a smile tilted to her
cheeks and she smiled with her teeth to
herself.
Her gaze stuttered to her right and
through the window, a pair of blue eyes
were looking at her from a far.
Vimal Lakes.
The guy next door. The hot guy next
door to be precise, but he wasn't really
her type. Too pretty.
She went close to the window and
opened it up. He smiled and did the
same at his room .
" Hope you a happy day , my dear" he
leaned down and I gave him a quick
smile .
" Well thanks" she told him and added
before getting out of the room, " And
Vimal".
His eyes sparkled when she said his
name and he said excitedly " Yes?"
" Last time you call me dear" , she said
firmly . " Got it? "
His smile grow wider " But you are my
dear to me , so I don't think its the last
time . sorry" He winked at me and I got
out of the room as soon as he did.
Going downstairs with light steps she
brushed her long hair back " Guess
who's up " she said as soon as she
entered the living room .
" Hey, that my girl" her dad turned
around and lifted her up to a hug.
While kissing the top of her head she
close her eyes and her lips turned to a
wide smile.
" hehe, I can't believe I'm actually 17 "
she sighed while laughing.
He smiled at her and went to the table
" Yep , not a fantasy anyone " .
She sat next to him " You cannot say
that . This number is perfect in every
possibly way" .
He laughed. " No way , you got the
wrong number you meant to say.."
She rolled her eyes " three .. and no, i
wasn't it just your little fantasy" she
smiled .
My dad's phone rang and he picked it
up . " Hey , what's up"
I ate my snacks while I got up " I'll get
going " and I started to the door but my
dad stopped me.
" No , no wait " , I sat down again and
looked at him.
" Hold on for a sec" he said to the phone,
" I have a surprise for you " that was
meant for me .
" You are not going to believe it but , hold
tight , close your eyes "
I did as he said while an exited smile
was spreading all over my face.
"Wait a second , I'll be right there" he
whispered, not to me I suppose.
I heard his footsteps and the door
opening.
" Get in , thanks for coming so early" ,he
said while laughing.
A laugh of a voice I didn't recognize
came out to the air " I didn't really had a
choice, you know what my mon is like" .
"yeah , sorry about that. come inside , I
want you to meet each other " more
footsteps coming closer and closer.
I turned around " Can I open my eyes?"
" No reason not to" , the new voice said
and I opened my eyes .Infront of me
was sitting a guy who was looking so
good.
My dad sat next to me and squeezed my
shoulders " This is Balu . say hi"
I smiled to him " Hey , Your cup is
pretty" .
He was wearing a dark green cup on his
head while his brown hair was tapped
inside it.
" Thanks " he looked at me with deep
eyes " you've got good taste. And ehhm,
happy birthday".
" Thank you".
My dad grabbed my hand and putted it
on Balu's . His hand was a bit cold..
" Dad, what are you doing"
" He is your surprise, Jenny. You're
engaged to him from today on"
The blood in my veins stopped moving.
" sorry, What?"
