CHAPTER NINETEEN

"Guys! They are here". A female voice shouted to a bunch of young adults who had taken up a side in 'Food&Snacks Lunar Pack'. A restaurant common among their peers. The bunch received weird and amused looks but they could care less instead they immediately calmed down and quickly made their way to the door, hiding by it sides, awaiting the two girls who had just found a space to park and are now making their way to the restaurant door

***

"You think they sent the right address?". Dora asked

"You can't be sure when it's them". Violet shrugged

***

"Three, two, oneee". The same blond with amber eyes who had shouted a while ago, counted down and just at the door open and the two girls entered, they all shouted "Happy Birthday Fake Twins" bursting open the confetti unto the girls who had walked in with surprised faces

"Guys. Oh My God! I can't believe this". Dora exclaimed just as Violet exclaimed "wow. This is so surreal".

"We did a nice surprise didn't we"

"Did you both really think we'd not do anything and watch you both turn 20 just like that"

"You both owe me a couple of lunch at college, since I used my savings for this"

"We all love you so much"

"Thank you for coming into our lives fake twins"

"Happy birthday kiddos''. Rang the voices of their friends as they hugged each other before someone shouted "group hug" and they all came into a bear hug

"Now you all tell me, who was the mastermind behind all this' '. Dora asked with glee. They had all stopped their craziness after a waitress had come to inform them about the presence of others and left not before wishing the twins a happy birthday, since they're also a regular here, considering the fact that both their mother's had opened the restaurant together. Yes Monica and Annabelle had both opened the restaurant when the kids were 7, which is 2 years after knowing each other. Their love for cooking and their husbands passion for eating along with their kids' urges made them open it. Though they had people in charge of it

"Guess who". A brunette with brown eyes asked while wiggling her brows

"Nick?". Violet guessed her gaze on a dark haired and slightly tanned guy with blue eyes, who is the most goofy one of the group

"Noppp. But close". Nick winked

"Uhh Bella?". Dora guessed

"Seriously Dora?". A girl who multicolored strips in her hair with black eyes scoffed "it'd probably take my murder to think of such". She added twisting her hair in her hair as she chewed gum making everyone chuckled

"Stella then". Dora said

"It wasn't me. Geez Dora, you're bad at guessing". The brunette girl who asked the question chuckled

"That fact had been established years ago". Dora rolled her eyes

"Just try this last time". Stella urged

"Urghh. Whatever. Its Steven". She said making the whole group back out laughing

"Like hell I would". Steven, Stella twin said with a smirk "you know me Dora, party isn't my thing"

"Then I give up".

"It's Tristan, Dora. Geez, I expected you to get it on the first try". Stella shook her head making Dora give her a pointed look "okay maybe the second try then"

"And where is he? Isn't he coming? And why should I have gotten the guess right?". Dora rolled her eyes

"He's on his way. Besides who else would have thought of doing such, especially when you're included". Cordelia, the blond girl smirked before winking at Dora

"That's so true. True love". Stella said dreamily

"Hey babe! You have me!". Raphael a brunette blond with blue said feigning hurt

"Yh right, like you are any romantic". She rolled her eyes at him

"Ouch Stel. My poor heart just broke". He dramatically placed his hand on his heart

"Stop being an idiot Raph". She rolled her eyes

"But you love me all the same". He grinned giving her a peck on the cheek

"Whatever". She tried to hide her smile

"Go get a room guys". Steven rolled his eyes at them as he made a disgusting face

"Ya just jealous". Stella stuck her tongue out at him

"Cords, this could be us if only you'd just say yes". Steven sighed looking lovingly at Cords

"You know it's a no Ven". She said sadly

"It wouldn't be if you gave us a chance". He pushed

"Ven". She warned

He was about opening his mouth when Violet quickly intervened "so why isn't Tristan here yet? Any idea why? I mean you guys did say he planned all this". Cordelia sent her a grateful smile which she returned while Steven just groaned silently

"Said he had something to pick up, probably a present or so". Nick said shrugging

"A present? Oh my God Dora it might be a ring, he might want to propose". Stella squeal

Dora rolled her eyes at her friend "shut it Stella. That's not possible. Even if he did, I'd just reject him. He's not mine, he's someone else's". She said sternly though one can hear the slight longing in her voice

No one said a thing for a while, all looking silent and staring behind her except Violet -who was picking at her food- since they're sitting close to each other, backing the door

"Someone else's?". A voice suddenly said, making both she and Violet stiffen for a while "please elaborate on that since I'm not aware when I became an item to be tossed as to will". The voice repeated as the owner came to sit on the only empty chair which had been deliberately left close to her. Dora couldn't form a word as she stared into the completely black with specks of silver orbs boring into her plain brown ones as if hypnotizing her

"Uhmmm... I'll leave for the restroom". Violet suddenly said as she stood up from her chair

Finally breaking eye contact, Dora turned her attention to her friend "I'll go too". She whispered and stood up to follow Violet

"Uh.. hey Tris, you're back. Though a bit late". Nick said to break the awkward silence

"Oh yeah. Hope I didn't miss anything guys". Tristan smiled a bit showing his one sided dimple

"Not much, just the grand surprise". Cords said to which he nodded

"What's that?". Bella pointed at the shopping bag in his hand

"Gift". He answered in a monotone

"For who? Dora or Violet". She asked again

"Why poking your nose in my business?". He questioned back

"Just asking. No need to get your boxes in a twist. Just a warning though. Don't get in between those two. Them separating because of you is unfair to them. The best you could do is talk to them both, and separately at that". She warned sternly

"I don't need your advice. Keep it to yourself". He warned as they stared at each other wanting the other to back down

"Those girls are my friends Tristan. If you hurt them you'd get it from me. I'd forget all about rank".

"Okay both of you, let's not fight please. At least not on this day". Stella stepped in

"I'm not fighting him, just giving him a piece of my mind". Belle shrugged her shoulders and went back to eating

"I'll just go and check up on those two". Cords said standing up after few minutes passed and neither Dora nor Violet came back

"I'll come with you". Steven stood up

"It's ladies only". She rolled her eyes

"Just in case a man's help is needed"

"They're not fighting Steven". She grounded out

"But you both might if you don't stop the argument. Not that I'm complaining as long as it's not my favorite girls". Belle smirked amused. Everyone turned to stare at her giving her an incredulous look

"What? Just saying". She shrugged and went back to sipping her milkshake making everyone sigh

"Whatever". Cords rolled her eyes before walking off. Steven grinned and winked at Bella before walking off with her

"You two starting out as the first couple in this group is a curse". Bella snickered as she faced Stella and Raph

"We could break it". Nick winked at her

"Sure". She smiled sweetly "after I break your bones". She smiled which made Nick scared as he chuckled awkwardly

"Maybe not". He muttered, as he went back to eating

"This is why you've not gotten a guy". Stella shook her head with a chuckle "you always threaten them"

"And this is why you only got this guy". Bella retorted "you just go for the face"

"Ouch". Nick chuckled

"Hey". Raph exclaimed offended

"At least you agree he's handsome". Stella shrugged with a smirk

"Ohhhh". Nick said trying to hide his chuckle

"Whatever". Bella rolled her eyes

"What's wrong, Tris?". Nick asked Tristan who has been quite

"Nothing". He gave a small smile "I'll just order and be back". He stood up to go and order

"Okay". Nick nodded and faced his phone. Since Stella and Raph are in their own world and Bella was busy sipping her half empty milkshake as she stared around the restaurant her eyes mainly on the way to the restroom with an amused smile on her face
