Chapter Eight

May 10, 2017.

After ten minutes of cold shower running over my body cooling it down, I went out of the bathroom feeling completely fresh. I picked up a new ripped pair of high waist jeans and a tide red crop top that showed my abs; I have a toned curvy body, I workout four times a week yet this week I was completely busy falling in love with Jungkook.

Anyways.

I finished wearing my clothes and rose gold necklace and earrings that gave me a complete Greek goddess vibe. I looked at the mirror trying to decide which types of makeup I want to do. I went with black eyeliner and mascara that made my lashed looked even longer and curved and some rose-beige lipstick. Today is my twenty-first birthday and like every year my family and friends threw a huge crazy party.

My phone vibrated. I looked at it to find that my dad sends me a text telling me that he was at the airport waiting for his flight to Greece. I smiled widely at my phone; I love my dad despite that we don't usually spend too much time together, but he made a promise to me when I was young that we have each others back and whenever I needed him, he would be there but he knew he couldn't raise me and it was better to live with my grandma.

After I finished high school my dad told me that I can choose whatever university to enroll in. I was indeed having a plan to enroll in one of the universes at London but at that moment I didn't expect what he told me back then.

"Tia, I'm sorry."

"For what dad," I asked surprisingly.

"I know I'm not a great father and I left you here alone and I," he stopped and took a deep breath then continued. "After your mother died I felt like she didn't really die. You are just like her. Not only you share the same appearance. You sound like her, you love the same things, you have the same taste. You're her but with my hair," he said and pointed at his black short wavy hair.

I smiled back at his honest feeling. "You have a big personality since you were little, one day before we got back to Mykonos, you told me that you love your grandma so much, I asked you why, you said she looks like your mother at that moment you were holding a picture of her and your mother and both in the picture looked like two sisters," he said and played with his full black beard and laughed a little.

"Those genes that run in your mother's family is incredible, it had all the women in her family looked unbelievably younger than their actual age," he said and pointed at the group of pictures of my mother's family hanging on the wall. I laughed when I looked at them; it's true, all women in my family shared unique young beauty.

"You were four when you told me that, I couldn't be selfish anymore, I knew that you needed Delilah more in your life than me, yet I couldn't help but feeling guilty that I left you."

"Dad, I love you and don't feel guilty you're a great father and besides you are always here when I needed you and that what matters," I said and hugged him immediately.

**

I meant every word I said. My dad is indeed a great one, I wouldn't lie and say that I didn't entirely wish he was more present in my life, but grandma explained to me years before why he acted that way. My dad loved my mother so much that he couldn't believe that he lost her forever and the moment he saw me, he saw my mother beauty in my face; he felt like he didn't lose her after all but at the end, he also knew that I needed a mother figure more than anything.

He suddenly changed his mind and let me stay at grandma's house and he engraved himself in his work. Despite all of that we do have a good relationship that became way stronger when I decided to go to London for college, He always stays in Mykonos around my birthday and grandma's birthday, every holiday and any time I need him here. I like how close we are now, and I wouldn't change anything about it.

I replied to his text with another wide smile then put my phone in my back pocket and styled my hair in its natural loose waves.

"TIA!" Lara shouted again.

"Coming!" I shouted while wearing a pair of vans and went running out of my room. I entered the backyard garden to find the table filled with freshly made goodies. "Wow!" I said with both my brows high.

"Finally!" Lara said and raised her hand to get one of the blueberry pastries but was stopped when grandma slapped her hand.

"Haven't I taught you anything?!" grandma said with fake anger in her voice.

"I'm hungry and besides, she took forever to get down here!" Lara protested.

"It's our tradition don't ruin it!" We have this ridiculous tradition that on twenty-first birthdays the person will be treated like a royal one. From great food to luxury present. Like real luxury presents. Four months ago, was Lara's twenty-first birthday, her mother and stepfather bought her a great condo in London while her grandparents got her a Ferrari, I got her two Gucci bags she was drooling over, at that time I didn't understand why she suddenly became obsessed with everything Gucci but now I totally understand; it was taehyung.

"Thanks, grandma," I took one pastry and sat down.

"Finally!" Lara said and took her first bite of the pastry.

Hours later.

We were still at home but now filled with family members and friends. My dad was talking to two of his friends while drinking coffee. Grandma was also with her friends laughing about something. The whole house filled with loud laughs and talking voices. It wasn't the birthday party yet; it was simply the beginning. I was in my bedroom finishing some work that must be done for me to be free for the rest of the day. My phone ranged loudly. It was Lara.

"Hey," I said and continued what I was doing.

"Hey, I want you to go to my room and check the uploading like ASAP," Lara said with short breaths.

"Where are you?"

"Heading home, just check my laptop."

"Okay." Lara was at the restaurant preparing everything for the party. I finished my work and went to her room that was twenty steps away from mine. Her laptop was on her bed next to her drawing notebook. She uses drawing tablets for her work and paper-based drawing notebooks for her daily inspirations.

I always checked her drawing notebooks and saw every little thing she draws. It's a habit of ours that we check each others work and give honest opinions. I sat on the bed, opened the laptop and checked what she wanted to find it still uploading something. I looked at the notebook that was on the pillow. I reached to it and held it between my hands. I noticed that it was a new one. The last one I saw was last year before Lara moved to Athens for a year. I opened it and started to go through each page.

It began with nature drawing. Some random characters. Some slice of life type of strips. Another random human portrait. Then Jimin. I read the date she wrote on the paper. "So, this is the famous request," I said to myself and smiled.

I flipped the page to see another Jimin drawing. I smiled of how talented Lara is. She drew him in many poses and styles. The next five pages only have Jimin in it. After I flipped the last one; the next twenty ones were mixed of all BTS members.

"Wow." I knew Lara is very talented but what I was looking at, was a completely different Lara, I felt the change and inspiration she told me about earlier. With the last group drawing a sudden change in her style. It became edger and sexier; it was taehyung through Lara's talented and pervert eyes. "Oh my god!" I said and laughed.

The drawing wasn't funny. It was a complete nude of him in the shower in a completely realistic detailed drawing. The drawing looked real that my eyes almost tricked me at first thinking it was a photo, not a drawing. It's rare for her to draw in realistic style; she only uses this method when she is extremely inspired and in cloud nine.

I flipped the page and my wide smile didn't change. That dirty mind of her. She drew more than a hundred pieces of him either naked muscled thin body or in full sex positions. Full detailed sex position. "Oh god!" I said and laughed at the last one she drew a week ago where Taehyung is cumming inside a girl's open mouth. "I bet she was wet after this one," I said to myself as a dare.

"Tia," Lara said from down the stairs.

"I'm in your room," I said and flipped back and forth at the drawing. I looked at Jungkook's face in the group drawings. She drew him too well. I'm proud of her; she is incredibly talented. I heard her greeting some people then her running to the room. "Hey," I said and looked at her.

"I need to pee wait!" she said and ran directly to her bathroom.

Minutes later.

"Holy crap that feels great!" Lara said and slammed her body on the bed.

I smiled at her and looked back at the notebook. "You like them?" she said and sat up reaching for her laptop.

"Totally especially, taehyung ones," I said and laughed.

"I know right?! I was completely wet after the last one," she said and smiled widely at the screen while checking the uploading files.

I couldn't hold my loud laugh. I knew it. "What is your present this year?" I said.

Lara and I had an agreement since we were young that we won't surprise each other with random gifts, we only get what the other most desire. "I got you what you need," she said and winked at me.
