The dance without music

Davi wrapped her arms around his neck, "I'm not interested in anyone but you."

Baby took one step back, what the fuck is this crazy girl talking about? Interested in who?

Davi also took a step forward with a flirting smirk on her face

"Um, Miss Davi Jones, you are the most beautiful and kind lady I've ever met. But you have to know that you're not my type."

Davi's mouth went agape, and her eyes comically widened, "what? Did you just respectfully disrespect me?"

Baby shook his head slightly, "I meant what I said you're really beautiful. "

"No, Not that, you called me the most beautiful lady you've ever met but then you said I'm not your type. What the actual fuck. how can you call someone who's not your type beautiful? "

Baby took two steps back but Davi took two steps forward her arms still around his neck.

Callum sighed, "What are they doing? Dancing without music?"

"Pfft" Ryan grinned and sat beside Callum, "Does it look like they are dancing?"

Callum nodded, "Yeah, a ballroom dance, but why is Baby's hand not on her waist."

When Ryan looked at them again he saw the baby's hand on her waist.

Ryan just shook his head and said "It is not a dance, it's more like a heated discussion with some confusing romantic undertones."

Callum stared at him and mimicked him, "What romantic undertones. Tch."

"what? you don't believe me? Just take a look at their facial expressions." Ryan said and pointed at the duo."

Davi bit her lower lips, "Do you know why I freaking hate you so much? You're despicable, you're a narcissist, so full of yourself, you..." Davi stomped her foot angrily.

"Then why pretend to like me before?"

"Because, because my father said it is better to make friends than enemies especially when dealing with the young leader of the Shadows of Heaven gang."

Baby raised his brows, "that's me? isn't that good? Aren't we good friends?"

Davi gritted her teeth, "What's the meaning of that look huh? This is one of the reasons I hate you, you look at others like they are below you. It is so freaking annoying, who wants to be friends with you?"

Baby wanted to retreat again but found out that there was a couch behind him. He sat down and motioned Davi to also sit. "Miss Davi, I don't know why you're thinking of me that way, I have never done such things OK?"

"Then have a duel with me."

"I really can't ok?"

"That is exactly what I'm talking about, why won't you fight me huh? Because you think I'm weak? Not worth fighting? Or you just don't want to get involved with me." Davi said almost moved to tears.

"I didn't have that thought ok? I only fight to protect myself, Moreover, I really can't fight. Ryan is the one who does the fighting, I only win using tricks. I'm telling you my secret because I regard you as a friend."

"then how did you annihilate a clan huh?"

Baby scratched his head and said seriously, "I didn't okay? I'm actually that capable. Ryan did the work I didn't even lift a finger."

"liar, then explain how you defeated the five elders of your gang, even my dad can't."

Baby sighed, "Aiya, I also didn't fight, Ryan did. you all think I'm the big boss but that guy sitting over there is the real boss. he's so capable but he has one thing, keeping a low profile. aiya what else can I do apart from accepting my fate and being a cover for him. all I've said is just to tell you that if you want to fight someone, it should be someone worth it. and that person is RYAN CHEN."

Davi spasmed her lips and stood up angrily 'I hate him, he is so annoying, always pretending to be the victim, he's a scum, a villain, an annoying rich brat, why do I hate him this much."

Ryan smirked, "leaving already?"

Davi hummped and strolled towards the door not in the mood to reply anymore. She waved at the rest indicating a goodbye and glared at Baby.

Baby just shrugged and crossed his legs. Ryan sighed and peered at Callum, "The dance ended quite early."

Callum rolled his eyes, "are you done being sarcastic? if you are then stand up, you're sitting on my phone."

"you are meant to have a shoot today, but it has been postponed to Monday," Raymond said his piece and stood up.

"guess what's going on today?" Baby asked excitedly.

"mama wang is gonna cook for us?" Callum asked.

The baby gave him a sideways glance and muttered the word "foodie" to him.

Callum pouted his lips and gave up on guessing.

"I don't know how to guess," Raymond said.

Baby's face fell but then looked at Romeo.

"Ryan's birthday?" Romeo asked.

"yay!" baby screamed

Ryan pointed at himself and checked the date on his phone calendar, "it's truly my birthday."

"How did you know?" Callum asked.

Romeo pointed at the door, and they all looked at what he was pointing at.

" I knew it, you aren't that smart to guess right once." Baby said

"I'm sorry I couldn't meet your expectations Mr. Know it all." Romeo replied emphasizing the "know it all."

"Alright, you don't have to start bickering, let's sing the birthday song." mama Wang said with a medium-sized cake placed on her palms.

♫ Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear [celebrant's name], happy birthday to you! ♫. They all sang happily.

"make a wish and blow the candle," Callum said.

Ryan closed his eyes but didn't know what to wish for, he just opened his eyes and blew off the candle.

"How old are you today?" Callum asked

Ryan rolled his eyes at the rhetorical question, can't he see the figures one and eight boldly standing on the cake? "I'm five today," he answered with sarcasm.

"That's good, I'm eighteen so you call me Uncle Callum."

This was the moment Ryan realized that someone could choke on nothing.

Everyone cracked up at their exchange of words.

Mama wang passed a small-sized box to Ryan, "from your mum."

Ryan smiled and opened the box, "A diamond wristwatch came into his view, the wristwatch was diamond adorned with hour markers made of rare gemstones. He closed the box and thanked Mama Wang before pocketing it.

I also have a gift for you baby said and gave Ryan a car key.

Ryan stared at it weirdly and pressed a button on it, a sound was heard, and a small racecar appeared, he creased his brows and examined it, "Are you kidding me? This is a fucking toy car, do you take me as a five-year-old boy?"

"aw, I'm hurt, aren't you meant to accept my gift with smiles on your face?" Baby said clenching the left side of his chest.

Ryan smiled and said, "Just kidding, I'll accept and cherish every gift you give me. Thanks." and pressed another thing to control the car but the car started to move itself. Ryan stood up and followed it, he pressed another button but the car didn't stop, he stared curiously at the car intending to pick it up and dismantle it. As if the car sensed his intention, it started moving fast. Ryan chased after it not watching where he was going. Callum stared at the car curiously then at Baby then stood up to follow the car. Romeo and Baby tagged behind leaving Mama wang who watched the kids have fun and Raymond who doesn't want to have fun or maybe he just doesn't find it fun.

The toy car stopped moving and Ryan also stopped, he bent down and studied the car which stopped at his front, "Why did it stop moving?" he asked no one in particular.
