Nicky has been dragging me through the mall for the last 2 hours.

We went shop to shop looking for the 'perfect' dress. I mean I already got 10 bags with me all full of dresses I don't need more.

"Nicky!" I yell as she goes into another shop.

I follow her in as soon as I'm inside she pushes me into a changing room with a dark blue dress.

I put it on and it hugs my body nicely.

It has a sweetheart neckline, it has bling lines below the chest area

From there it flows down, the front is mid-thigh and the back gets below my knees a bit.

"Nicky this is..." i say she comes in and stops staring at me.

"This is perfect! Now we gotta get you home then do your hair and make up" she says jumping up and down.

"Why do we have to do all that?" I ask. Another 2 hours.

"Oh shit we late!" She says.

I get out of the dress and change out of my clothes. We pay for the dress and leave.

*****

I'm now at Nicky's house. Why? I don't know.

She plaited my hair back into two with some small roses here and there.

I get into the dress with black heels.

She does my make up. Light just a little mascara, smokey eyes and a bit of blush.

"Are you going to tell me why I'm dressed up?" I ask as I grab a matching purse.

20 minutes later she parks into an unfamiliar driveway.

"Nicky. Are you going to kill me on my birthday all dressed up?" I ask as we get out.

She chuckles then looks at me dead serious.

My breath hitches then she laughs.

She unlocks the house and it seems empty and dark.

I look to my right and Nicky isn't there anymore.

"Happy birthday Novio" a husky voice says behind me.

My body stiffens and tears brim my eyes.

"Happy birthday!" The lights go on and everyone is there.

My mom and dad, Nicky and the guys. Family and friends from back home and Justin.

Turning around I see Luca there with a single rose, dressed in a Jean and dress shirt.

My purse falls, and I gasp.

A tear falls down my cheek and I jump into his arms.

He hugs me back and places me down.

"How is it possible, I was there with you earlier. The doctor said there isn't no process made. You were asleep or I thought you were. How?!" I ask jumping back into his arms.

"He woke up yesterday, when we sent you home to have some rest and a quick shower, we spoke for an hour till we realised that today will be your birthday. We chose to keep it a secret as a surprise for you" Nicky says

I look back at her then Luca and jump back again

"Don't you dare do that to me again. You've cause me too much pain" I say my voice croaking a bit.

"I'm sorry Novio. I didn't mean to. I love you too much to bring you that pain and I know I did but I didn't mean to" he says in my hair.

I wipe away my tears and look back to everyone.

We all went our separate ways, and I was stuck with Luca by the kitchen counter.

"So tell me why is my mom alive?" I ask.

I know it's sounds like I'm rude and all but I was told she passed away.

"I have a confession to make." He says looking me in the eyes.

I nodd for him to go on

"Everything was a lie. Your mom and father never passed away but my dad did. Your mom got Sarah. So I did lash out a lot, so Marco heard that you became an AlphaLuna, so he knew that you keep rouges. We came up with a plan for him and Nicky, Tion and Sarah to come here and act as rouges then let the story play out somehow" he says looking down

"But you rejected me-i know you said your father forced you to but why?" I ask fiddling with my fingers

"I felt bad for it, I really did but I had no choice. Once you were gone I realised that the oak was the way it was because you were there. When my dad left us I decided that it was time to get you back" he says

I nod my head "tha-"

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Lili, happy birthday to you!" I look behind me and everyone is there holding a huge cake.

I get off the stool and blow out the candles.

"Happy birthday sweetheart" my father says placing the cake down and kissing my head.

"Now cut the cake dumba- dummy!" Sarah says.

I look behind my father and look at my little sister.

"Marco Luco Los Poderoso" i say looking at him.

He cowers beneath my gaze "blame it on mom for making me babysit!" He defends

I laugh and cute a 2/3 of the cake.

I watch as the sprinkles, chocolate chips and Nutella ooze out of the cake.

"Why such a big slice?" Justin asks.

"Why such and big head?" I and placing the cake on a plate

"Fine!" He says.

They laugh and I take my cake outside to watch the sunset.

After a few minutes I realised that I didn't take a fork.

Before I could get up I see someone put two forks in my cake.

"Thanks" I say sitting back down.

"No problem" he says sitting next to me.

I place my head on his shoulder,a comfortable silence sits around us.

"It's beautiful" I say in a low whisper.

"The best view I've seen" he says taking a fork and placing some cake in my mouth

We eat the cake in silence for a few minutes.

" I remember the day I told you I'm your mate. We were watching the sunset, eating desert and playing in water" he says looking at it in awe

I sit up in a proper position and face him

"Yeah. I think I got sick after" I say rembering the part

*******

I saw Liliana walking I saw Liliana walking towards me wearing the dress I bought her.

I had prepared all her favorite desserts. Everything chocolate, chocolate cake stuffed with chocolate fudge,with chocolate icing covered with chocolate sprinkles and chocolate shavings. Chocolate covered strawberries, chocolate fudge brownies, chocolate slabs, chocolate cookies, chocolate cookies with chocolate chips, chocolate smoothies and some water since this was a lot of sweets.

I had digged some info out of Marco since they are twins and they like the same things.

I wonder how she feels about me, knowing that destiny is never wrong, I hope she tries to see past the last 2-4 years.

How I have never seen this just makes me sick. Her beautiful black eyes, brown silky hair I just wish I can run my fingers through, and those full lips, I wonder how many moans can escape those lips after every night and day.

To think I used to treat her like a perra just makes me disgusted by myself.

Once she arrives I search her face for any emotions. Her eyes are confusing me they show love,desire,distrust,hatred, confusion and fearfulness.

I take a step forward and she takes one back. So I decide to stop on the spot.

"Hey thanks for coming, take a seat" I say gesturing to the blanket on the grass.

She takes a seat and starts to fiddle with her hair. So I decide to make small talk.

"I got you your favorite kinds of desserts. Everything chocolate" I say taking out the chocolate milkshakes handing one to her.

She takes it and smiles "thanks" she says.

God her voice sounds like an angel's.

I place mine on the side. "How did you know chocolate is my favorite?" She asks taking a sip of her milkshake.

"Well I digged some info out of Marco and since ya'll are twins I thought maybe you will like the same plus it's all you wanted to eat since we were kids" I reply taking out the rest of the desserts.

"Well, thank you. It's delicious and you can't blame me." she says in a small voice offering me a smile.

Gosh this is so awkward, I am not used to this usually I just sweet talk girls then break their hearts.

But it ain't so easy since I treated her like a perra all these years. It wasn't like this before we were actually best friends but after the incident things just changed.

"Okay look, Liliana, I am sorry about the way I have treated you for the last 4 years. It's just that after the accident I couldn't handle loosing my mother, and I took out all my anger on you. Watching you suffer just brought comfort to me. It wasn't all your fault, I mean even if I was you I wouldn't have known what to do at that time. I am sorry. And if you wanna reject me it's fine I deserve it anyway. I just hope you can forgive me" I say trying to at least try to move past the awkwardness

"No, it's OK, I forgave you a long time ago. I mean it was my fault anyway,I could've tried to help her in anyway. But what I don't understand is why you didn't reject me, I mean I was the reason for your mother's death. You should hate me till I die. I do deserve to suffer and I don't blame you. Anyway I can handle the rejection since I could do so from the last four years." She says taking a slice from the cake

"You know what, let's change the topic. So did you enjoy the chocolates?" I said.

I know it's stupid but what else can I say since I can't ask her about her day since I tortured her for the last four years.

"Uhm yeah" she says licking her lips right after.

"You're lying" I say stating the obvious

"And how do you know that Mr Obvious?" She says. I can tell she is trying to lighten the mood.

"Well, you lick your lips when you lie and you get a high pitch voice. Plus you can never get away with lying to me. Remember when we were 5 and I asked you who ate my chocolate? You did the same thing you were doing now, and you had the brown teeth to prove it." I say adding a chuckle

"Well, I told you I would get you back from taking my barbie and ripping it's head off. Plus it's annoying how ya'll know when I lie." She says.

She always got so defensive when she knew we knew she was lying.

I let out a laugh.

"Fine. Any who are you enjoying the cake? That is like your 3rd slice. How can you eat so much sweets and not get sick, let alone not get tired of it." I say

She smiles showing her brown teeth due to the chocolate fudge inside.

"Well, chocolate is delicious, I live on water so I hardly get anything sweet, and once I get sweets I take advantage of it since I don't know when I will get it again." Stuffing her mouth with a cookie.

She reminds me of when we were kids. I used to get her chocolate all the time since I had a crush on her, but time came and i liked her like a sister.

"Fine, but at least have some water and save some cake for me" she was halfway finish with everything.

"Well like I say never leave a solider behind, and hurry up before I finish everything. You know I don't play when it comes to sweets" she says offering me a smile

She looks in the basket and takes

I take a slice of the cake and the chocolate brownie.

Once she drinks her water we sit in science. But a comfortable kind of silence.

"Hey, uhm you wanna go for a walk?" I ask standing up and offering her my hand.

She takes it and nodds.

"The sunset is beautiful, I hardly get to see it. Either I am cleaning or cooking." She says in a low voice.

"Yeah" I say in a whisper

I turn her around, intertwined our hands and looked into her eyes.

"Look Ana I am sorry about that, believe me when I say I am sorry and that I like you. If I didn't-" she cuts me off by placing her finger on my mouth

"I believe you and I am the one who is supposed to be sorry. I like you too" she looks down trying to hide her face.

I lift her chin to make her look at me.

I start to lean in and she does the same. Before our lips can touch the sprinklers go off we pull away.

She starts to twirl around in the droplets and begins to chuckle.

"Remember when we used to do this every day before summer holidays?" She screams over the sprinklers

She reminds me of us when we were younger, we would play in the water till we got all wrinkly.

She grabs my hand and twirls me with her.

I twirl her in to my hands then grab her and kiss her.

This time she kisses me back, she places her hand around my neck and begins to play with my hair.

I take it was a chance to deepen the kiss and God she tastes like strawberries.

She does the same and explores my mouth with her tongue. A groan escapes my throat then we pull back to catch our breaths.

She stands to my side and we head towards the pack house hand in hand.

It was late 8 so everyone is probably asleep.

I accompany her to her 'room'. Only now I see how it looks you can't actually call it a room if it only has a bed with a closet including a drawer.

I wonder how she survived 4 years her. She is a survivor.

I kiss her temple and wishes her a good night

******

Lili's (P.O.V)

As soon as the door closes I jump on my bed and my muffle my screams with a pillow.

I never knew there was such a romantic side to Luca.

I didn't think he would even remember anything from our childhood, especially if it included me.

Before I could change into my pajamas I see a note on my bed.

Por mi Novio

An angel from heaven

Mad, crazy and absolutely insane are the times spent with you

Sweet, innocent and strong is the love I fell into without a clue

Girl you bring magic into my life more magic than I can even imagine

It is you my love,who has set in my life the red carpet of celebration

I wish I could only show you how thankful I am to you mi amore

You are the most beautiful angel from heaven above.

~Luca

Not to mention even a poet, he doesn't seem like the type to write poems or even tell his friends about it.

I change into my pajamas and sleep with the paper folded under my pillow.

********

"Cake for your thoughts" he says placing the cake in front of me

"It's already my cake. I was thinking about when you told me about the mate thing" I say eating the last piece

" I remember it like it was yesterday. I still have the dress" he says.

I look at his shocked "that's why I never found it!" I say.

"Yeah, it kinda reminded me of you. The smell is faded a lot but it was the only reminder I had of you" he says.

We sit there looking into each other's eyes. His eyes keep flicking to my lips.

I bite my lip out of no where, my eyes flick to his lips as he wets them.

He starts to lean in and my eyes flutter close, I feel his breath on my face.

His lips brush mine lightly, I feel him get closer and finally our li- "GIFTS TIM- oh shoot! Lo siento! Uhm I'll just go and tell them you busy" Nicky says getting back inside.

I start to giggle and brush myself off.

"Are you coming?" I ask opening the door. He nods his head and gets up.

Walking in I see Nicky talking to everyone

"They were so about to kiss! I can't believe I came in the wrong time! I'm such a di-" "Nicky!" I say as my face heats up.

She stops talking and looks down and everyone laughs.

I cross my arms and sit near the table where all the gifts are.

Opening each and everyone of them I recieved

A new phone, a new phone cover, new pair of tekkies, a few books, Bluetooth headsets, a pair of sweaters with a box of something inside etc.

Opening the last gift from Luca, it's a silver and black necklace.

"Thanks Luca" i say admiring it.

He takes it from my hand and places it around my neck.

Looking at it is see only the silver part, looking up I see Luca wrapping the other half of the necklace around his wrist.

A smile plays on my face when he engulfs me into a hug.

"Happy birthday Novio. I love you" he says.

It's the first time he'd ever said that to me since we met.

I hug him back and nod my head.
