“Well, parties are not really my cup of tea. But this one is special so can’t miss it. Otherwise, I would do everything to skip it, parties really suck, don’t they?”
“do they? I don’t really know. I have not attended many parties to give a comment on this” even when typing it, I felt really bad. No one has ever invited me to their parties, except for official parties like prom. After some parties most of them attended, I had to tolerate all the fun stories they will discuss in the next few days.
“I am so sorry princess…I made you sad, didn’t I?”
“Hey don’t worry about that. You can do nothing about that. But I am sure, one day I will get to attend all the parties I want with you by my side. [“
“Thank you for keeping your faith in me princess, that’s all I want.”

Next day morning, I went to university. I couldn’t come up with an idea for a gift yet, so I was still thinking about that.
In the washroom, I heard a few girls were talking about attending Luke’s birthday party. It seems like he has invited a lot of people and he is going to have it in a big hotel. Don’t get me wrong, I want all the happiness in this world for my Luke. But I felt a bit sad because I won’t get to see him being so happy at his birthday party.
I came out of the washroom with a heavy heart. I was walking along the corridor, so hopelessly until I bump into someone with a strong chest. GOD!!!! That is my darling birthday boy!!!
There were not many students at the corridor, it was pretty much empty. Finally, God has given me a chance to at least wish him properly!!! “Hey!!!” he said with a bright smile.
“Happy Birthday!!!” I said smiling.
“Give me a hug girl!!!” though he said as a request, without letting me saying anything he hugged me!!!!!
Sweet Jesus!!!
I know, I should be afraid about all the eyes that would be staring at us, but at that moment, I didn’t feel anything else other than his affection.
“Sarah, I have an invitation to be made,” he said looking at my eyes after he releases me from the hug.
“invitation.” my voice was almost inaudible.
“I know it is super late. I didn’t know if you are willing to come or not? that’s why I didn’t ask you earlier. But anyway… would you like to come to my birthday party tonight?”
am I dreaming or did he really tell that?
“Sarah… I know you must be really pissed at me, for inviting you at the last moment…” he was saying.
“sh….” I kept my index finger on his lips and make him silent.
Are there people looking at us, well… I don’t give a shit…
“I am honored to come for your birthday party,” I said, still having my finger right on his soft lips. God, Can I kiss those lips?
He appeared shocked.
“Great!!! I will send you the details in FB,” he said, as I removed my finger from his lips.
I looked around. There was literally no one in the corridor. We were alone.
This is a perfect time!
I stood on my toes and placed a small kiss on his right cheek and ran away giggling!!!!
I did it!!!
I really did it!!!
I have no idea what he think about it. However, I hope he doesn’t need any other birthday gifts from me!!!
So… I kissed him. God! For the first time, I kissed a guy. I know, it is just a kiss on his cheeks, not a big deal, yet… God! I kissed him.
I just don’t know what he thinks about that. Maybe he got a hint, that I know, he is the one who texts with me. Or, he took it as just a friendly movement. Anyway, I know, I shouldn’t have done that, but I don’t really regret it as well.
However, I just sent him a text.
“Luke invited me to his birthday party.” the only objective of that text was to see his reaction.
“Are you coming?” he replied shortly.
So, what does it imply? I think he believed my little kiss, just as a friendly kiss. Thank God. That’s a relief.
“Yes, I think so,” I replied.
“Great! Princess, looking forward to seeing you there…”
I had my viva with Dr. Fedric, which went pretty well. I didn’t have any lectures after that so, I directly went home.
I had so much to do. I was so desperate that he invited everyone but me for his birthday party. I craved so badly to go there and celebrate this wonderful day with the person I love. So, when he invited me, it made me forget about everything else. Without even thinking twice, I accepted it. But now, I have to figure out what the hell am I going to wear?
Luke has already sent me the details of the venue via facebook. It was a great hotel in the town. I don’t have any beautiful dresses to wear for such a grand occasion. To be honest, I don’t really own any good dresses for any party, in any scale. Holding the only reasonable dress that I own, I was thinking what should I do? I can’t really wear this to the party. Everyone will just laugh at me. The last thing I want today is to get embarrassed in front of everyone and make him sorry. Today is his birthday, and he deserves to have all the happiness.
Maybe, I should just message him saying, I get to attend some urgent work, so I won’t be able to make it. But I really want to go there… I never wanted to go for a party this badly, in my entire life. What should I do? This is such a dilemma!!!
I felt absolutely helpless. What is the meaning of my pathetic life? I can’t even afford to buy a nice dress to wear to the birthday party of the person I love. Without even knowing, my eyes filled with tears.
Holding my aching head from both of my hands, I started to cry my eyes out. Why do I live to be this weak? Why don’t I just die?
I don’t know how long I was crying, hating my very own existence. I paused my crying for a second to check my phone, as I received a new message.
“Princess…I sent you something. The delivery man is right in front of your door. Can you please go and get it?”
What? What has he sent me?
“What have you sent?”
“Jesus! wait for a minute, then you can find out. Now be a good girl, and get it. Don’t let that poor man waste his time”
I ran down and opened the door. A man was standing outside and he handed me a considerably big box. I signed his card and climbed the stairs to my room.
I was so eager to open the box, which was neatly wrapped in an expensive wrapping paper. It also had a nice bow in the middle. No matter how anxious I was to open it, I carefully unwrapped the box, because that wrapping paper was too good to ruin. Finally, I opened the box. Inside the box, there was the prettiest dress, I have ever touched in my whole life. It was sky blue and knee-length. God, it is so elegant!!! The box contained not just the dress, but it also had a matching pair of shoes and another small box. I carefully opened it to find a pretty pearl necklace and a matching earring.
