Vanora Campbell.
24 Nov.
Oh my! I forgot what today was, it was my freaking birthday. I hadn't told anyone because it never crossed my mind.
Last three years, I had my birthdays like normal days, and that was when I wasn't happy with myself. That was when I didn't care about anything in the world.
The door busted open and Irene stepped in with Balloons.
Alec followed with a cake.
And lastly, Zavi and Will came in with boxes of gifts.
"Happy birthday, Nora," Irene screamed, handing the balloons to me. I covered my mouth as I looked at them, perplexed.
"How did you know? they look so beautiful," I asked, rubbing my hands on the balloons.
"Your boyfriend told us." She answered and I turned to look at Zavi.
"I completely forgot, my baby. Aww, you guys are the best."
Is there anything Zavi doesn't know?
I look at him, "Thank you, baby." I mumbled and kissed his lips.
"Let's open the gifts," Alec said, grabbing the boxes.
Irene protested immediately, "No, Cake." She pushed the gift away and carefully placed the cake in front of me.
"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you!!, Happy birthday to you!!!, Happy birthday to you!!!!." I shake my head as they sing for me.
I smiled and placed my hand on the knife, "V.A.N.O.R.A."
I slid it down as they clapped for me.
"Thank you, everyone. I'm happy to celebrate my birthday with you guys."
"We love you too Nora," Irene mumbled and kissed my hair. If there is someone who has a good heart, she's the one. She's free-spirited but she's a jealous freak. I guess it's good to know someone before concluding, if I hadn't known Irene, I wouldn't know she's this nice.
Alec handed me the first box, I looked at him with a wide grin played on his lip, I opened the box to find a car key.
What?.
Another Car?
"You didn't just get a car for her, Alec," Zavi said, looking at him like he'd tear him apart.
"She likes Royce too much, I was jealous. So I got you a black Mercedes-Benz Maybach."
"Okay, I'm green with jealousy," Irene mumbled, turning my attention towards her.
"Oh, girl. I would have to give you the Benz, I love Frosty too much."
"No, darling. That's your birthday gift." She answers, sitting down by my left side.
"Why do you have to get her a car?." Zavi asked, getting jealous. Oh, Zavi? That's not what you should fight about.
"Because I wanna give her a car."
"I already gave her one."
"Does she have to live with one car all her life?." Alec retorted, "After all, it's my fucking money." He mumbled the last sentence.
"Spend on your girlfriend and leave mine alone."
Oops, it's getting heated, but when did Alec get a girlfriend?
"You two, it's my birthday, if you don't stop now, I'm gonna kick you both out of here. I'll use both the cars, Frosty and Berry are my babies."
Alec smiled, "What a nice name."
"Shut the fuck up! When did you get a girlfriend?." I asked him.
There was silence.
Zavi looked away, having that he didn't know when he spilled that.
"Hey, you hiding something from me again?."
He denied, "No, I found out recently."
"Who? Do you know her?."
"She's from the Gambino family," Will answered for them.
"What?. If I see that bitch in this house, I'm gonna kill you, Alec."
Alec scoffed, "Relax, Nora. It's her sister, Becca."
Confusion crosses my face, "She has a sister? Even though, what about Irene?." I seriously thought they were going to date.
Everyone looked at Irene as her eyes widened, "Ew. I have a boyfriend, Nora."
"Really?." Zavi asked her.
"When did you get a boyfriend, Irene?." Alec asked her.
"She's my girlfriend."
Everyone turned to William.
Holy freaking Jesus!!.
"You date?. I think you're too serious to date." Alec jokes.
"It's true, Will. You're all grown now." Zavi added and they burst out laughing.
I look at Will, seeing that he was embarrassed.
"Okay, guys. Enough!. You're making him shy, let's see the other gifts."
I carried another box wrapped in a fancy red wrapper and ribbon, i looked at Irene, "Yours?." I asked her.
She nodded and I tore it open.
There was a white diamond dress. Beside it, I saw a pair of white stilettos, diamond long earrings, and a diamond necklace. She completely dressed me up.
"Aw, they're so lovely." I hugged her.
"Thanks, Irene."
"My pleasure."
I turned to William.
He looked shy as he handed me a two concert tickets.
"I didn't know what to get you, so I picked this."
I looked at the ticket and saw that it was a place I had wished to go to today, but Zavi wouldn't allow me.
"I heard you both arguing about it, so I got it for you."
I've always wished to listen to Ed Sheeran sing his songs at his concert today but my overprotective mafia boyfriend denied me access to go out.
"Thanks, Will. That's so kind of you."
There were no more boxes to open. I looked at Zavi, wondering if he got me any.
He straightened up beside me and texted someone.
Everyone wondered what he must have gotten for me.
A guy walked through the door with a flowerbasket. I quickly sat up on the bed, seeing him carry the beautiful Camilla flowers to me. This was exactly what my mom got for me on my birthday three years before she died.
Tears clouded my eyes. Tears of joy. It was the best gift that I have ever received from someone.
He got me something that should remind me of my mother. Something that makes me think my mom was still alive.
Zavi slowly wiped away a tear from my eyes.
"You deserve the best."
He always tells me that whenever he gets me gifts.
"You can't imagine how much I love you, I only want your happiness."
He kissed my forehead.
"Thank you for loving me this much, I'm so lucky to have you."
"No, I'm so lucky to have you." I told him, feeling on top of the world.
I laughed.
"We're so lucky to have each other."
He held my hand and squeezed it lightly.
"Dress up, I'm taking you out for a date."
