Wilbur
I looked at my time and I was already five minutes late. The party would begin at exactly 7:15pm and it's already 7:05pm. I quickly entered my car and drove to Mari's house
I knocked on the door and Eliza opened
“is she ready?” I whispered and she nodded
“Mari come out already” she said and Mari gently walked out of her room. I began to grin from ear to ear. She's so beautiful
“hey” she said shyly
“hey” I said and we both stared at each other without a word
“you guys are getting late” Eliza whispered and I chuckled
“you look so beautiful” I said and took her left hand. She smiled brightly
“thank you Will”
“well, shall we?” I asked and she nodded. I pulled her out of the house gently and we waved at Eliza before moving to the car. Mari was now the same height with me, power of heels.
I opened the door for her and she sat in then I went through the other side. I started the car and drove out gently into the street. I made sure I was slow
“how's Goldie doing?” I asked
“she's doing great. She's so happy with me and she sleeps on my bed with me” she answered
“isn't she a cute pup” I said and we chuckled
I turned on a slow love song and I glanced at her. She smiled at me and I noticed she was unusually excited tonight.
“you look really good looking Will” she said and I looked at her
“really? I do?” I asked and she nodded
“thank you. I suddenly feel handsome” I said and she giggled
We didn't say anything again until we got to the beach house
“is this where the award show is taking place?” she asked as I helped her out of the car
“no, it's a party” I answered and held her waist.
“who's party?” she asked but I didn't answer
We got to the door and the body guards bowed a little. They opened the door and we entered. We began to hear music
“the party's upstairs” I said and we gently climbed the stairs.
“Will, aren't you gonna tell me who's party it is?” she asked
I smirked at her then held the doorknob to the party room
“it's your party” I answered
“my party?” she asked and I opened the door
Everyone inside shouted “Surprise! Happy Birthday Marigold!”
She gasped as she stared into the room
Marigold
I couldn't believe it. It was actually my birthday and I forgot. I totally forgot
“OH my God!” I exclaimed and covered my mouth with my hands
Winifred and Eliza came out and held my hands.
“Eliza?”
“surprise!” she said and giggled
“OH my goodness”
“don't worry, it was all Wilbur's idea” Wini said and I looked at Will who shrugged. I remember telling him my birthday some time ago, I can't believe he didn't forget.
“come inside and meet everyone” Wini said and pulled me gently.
“Happy Birthday Mari. Will has told me good things about you” a beautiful lady said to me
“really? Thank you” I said with a large smile
“by the way, I'm Jay. Their cousin” she introduced and gave me a handshake
“it's nice to meet you Jay” I said and she smiled
“nice to meet you too. I'll excuse you now” she said and walked to Wilbur
“wow, I'm so surprised” I muttered
“that's the essence of a surprise party” Eliza said
“so you knew about this?” I asked
“she was informed. I went to pick her up after you left with Will” Wini said
“Happy Birthday” a man said to me
“and this is our elder brother Lucas. He came too” Wini said
“OH wow, it's nice to meet you sir. And thank you for coming” I said and he grinned
“I'm proud of Wilbur this time and I'm glad about his actions” he said and I smiled
“you're really beautiful you know, more than Wini explained” he said and I giggled
“really? Thank you” I said and he smiled and lifted up his glass towards our back. We looked and Wilbur was standing there with his hands in his pocket
“I think he wants her back” Lucas said and we laughed
“go on now, he wants you back” Wini teased and he gently pulled me
“I'll take it from here. Thank you” he said and walked me away
“Will you did all these for me?” I asked looking up at the cut out of my name largely handing across the room from the ceiling
“I love you” he said and I blinked my eyes. Is this the right time to tell him I love him too?
