"For this birthday, I wish to receive a special gift from someone."
Kenneth whispered under his breath. However, it was still loud enough for Elise to hear. When he blew his candle and opened his eyes again, he saw that his girlfriend's face had taken the shade of deep red.
But who would not?!!
Elise knew more than anyone what did he mean by that 'special gift'. With her cheeks still flushed, the girl handed him the gift that she prepared beforehand. But it was no ordinary gift, it was the newest model released by Rolex! 
Kenneth scowled upon the sight of the watch. There was no doubt that the watch cost a fortune and there was no way he could accept such an expensive gift from the other party.
Yet before he could even say a word, Elise already sealed his lips with a kiss. Of course, the guy answered back with the same passion.
"Kenneth, wait... There's more."
Elise murmured while looking straight into Kenneth's eyes.
"There's more?!"
The other party asked back without tearing his eyes away from Elise's lips that were ripe from kissing. Elise on the other hand moved away from him and deliberately let the strap of her spaghetti top fell on her shoulder.
"Me....."

This Time I'll be Sweeter

Truth be told, I could not be bothered to care anymore whether Kenneth would fulfill the end of the bet or not, so long as he took my money. I just wanted to help him with his current financial problem, that was all. Let us just say that I am simply that kind of friend who wanted to help his comrade to get over with their problems; well in his case, I was  financial. I knew well enough that Kenneth was struggling keeping up with his  expenses. However, knowing his character, I also knew that there was no way he would accept my help so I had to come up with an idea how I could give him the money in a roundabout manner so as not to hurt his pride.


Kenneth could be stubborn at times, well... actually, no. I should have said, 'at all times'. In fact, as far as my memory was not failing me yet, Kenneth was the most obstinate person that I have ever met in my life, not to mention that he was also a man full of pride. This friend of mine, cared for his ego more than anything else. But nonetheless, he was a decent person. He could be froward if he wanted to, but at least, he was a good friend to me.


"Come on, dude. Just take it as if you are doing this for me.  Jonnaila and I cannot enjoy our time together because even when I am with her, her mind was at someone else. She was way too devoted on their friendship to the point that there were times that I am even left wondering to myself if she actually loved that friend more than me, her boyfriend. At least, if she knew that her friend was already happily dating its crush, she would be at ease and can focus on our relationship more."


I knew that a little more push here and there and Kenneth would start to get sway by my words. I waited for his answer but the other party just looked me at the eye and refused to say a anything afterward. He did not expressed his consent nor accepted my offer right away. But at least, he also did not decline it. I guess, I could just take his silence as a yes? Well, let us just wait and see.


Just wanna help
