I've got news too

Stella pouted, sulked and glared at Den as he leaned back on the sofa and crossed his arms, indicating the end of conversation.

Stella would never have backed down as per her personality, but her attention was drawn by something else.

Stella listened with furrowed brows and exclaimed suddenly, "You guys have a Ferrari!?!?!?!?"

Allen stared at Stella like he had seen a ghost and Den raised his eyebrows. Stella looked at the two of them and a smug smile appeared on her lips. "You're not the only one who has news." Stella said as she settled comfortably in Allen's arms.

Soon, the roar of the engine was heard outside the cottage though the people in the room had already heard it long ago.

The sound of the engine stopped and the next second June and Simon entered the room, June twirling the key of a car around her finger.

Stella jumped up and ran towards June. The latter opened her arms thinking that Stella was coming to hug her, but Stella passed her and ran out of the door.

When the four followed her outside, they saw Stella bending over the brand new dark blue Ferrari, looking very much in love.

Stella finally calmed down after she had admired the car from all the angles and ran upto June. "June, June!!!! Can I get a ride!?!? And when did you get this beauty!?!?!" Stella exclaimed.

June smirked, "It was a birthday present."

Stella tilted her head and frowned, "Birthday present? When was your birthday!?!? Don't tell me I missed it!?!?!?!"

Seeing the look of horror on Stella's face, June ruffled her hair and chuckled, "Don't worry. My birthday is not here yet. That is what I wanted to talk to you about. Come on, let's go in."

As soon as all of them had settled down, June said, "Well, my birthday is in a few days. The 26 of June to be precise. And I am here to invite you all to my birthday banquet!!!!"

Stella's eyes sparkled but she was very surprised to hear Simon groan and Den sigh behind her, "I was hoping to avoid that."

Stella looked at them and frowned, but June clasped her hands and said, "You'll come, won't you Stella!?!?!? I'm so excited for you to see my family home!!!"

Stella put a finger under her chin, tilted her head and blinked. "Family home?" she muttered.

June waved her hand, "Den will bring you with him. Here is your formal invitation."

June pulled out three very exquisite looking cards from her bag and handed them to Den, Simon and Stella.

As Stella was marvelling at the beauty of the card, June stood up, "I should get going. I've still got to invite a few more people."

Allen stood up and wrapped his arm around June's waist, "When are we leaving?"

"Tonight." June said.

As the two turned around to leave, Stella jumped up. "Wait, wait. Wait! Wait!! WAIT!!!!!" She yelled.

Allen turned around and smirked, "What shortcake? You want a ride in the Ferrari? I'm afraid our driving will be a bit too much for you."

Stella raised an eyebrow, "I can get a ride anytime I want. It's June's car, not yours. I stopped you because I have something to show you all."
