Chapter 8

Maddie

Today was one of the happiest days of my life, I had some quality time with Claudia. We hung out, just the two of us. Something we rarely do since Ken and her started dating. She even got me this cool moon spinning pendant which I wanted for so long. It made me happy to know that she still paid attention to little details.

After eating we went home to wrap Henry's gifts. His birthday was three days away. We even bought some decorations. His favorite color is blue just like me, so we bought blue balloons. 'Are you guys gonna take cake to his school so he can share with his friends?' 'Mom wanted to do that but Henry said he doesn't want his cake to be brought to school.' 'Why? I remember how much we loved to bring cake to school on our birthday to share with our classmates when we were his age.' 'You mean you been an exclusion. You hated being the center on attention and still hates it.' 'Did you really have to do me like that.' She was right, I also didn't prefer bringing cake to school on my birthday, infact I have never brought a birthday cake on my birthday to school in my life. Having to be the center of attention gave me social anxiety. Henry was a lot more like me, he is usually quiet and only talkative to those close to him just like me so I get it that he doesn't want to bring his birthday cake to school.

Someone started knocking on the door. 'Come in' I said. The person continued to know, 'Come in.' I yelled out. Ken opened the door and peeked his head. 'Babe, I missed you.' Claudia stood up and ran to him, she jumped on him and he immediately scooped her into his arms and spun her around. 'Can I steal her from you for a second?' I just nodded and pretended to be busy wrapping the gifts. 'I will be back okay.' Without waiting for my reply they both exited the room. I wrapped all the gifts, after finishing I decided to go get some ice cream downstairs. As I was walking out of the room, I heard giggles from Ken's room. I really wanted to open the his door to see what they were doing, I fought the urge and walked away instead. I got ice cream and some chocolate.

Ken came home while we were still wrapping up the gifts, I was so delighted to see him. We went to his room and began to kiss. We kissed like we haven't seen each other in a very long time. 'You did really miss me huh.' Ken finally said after we broke the kiss. 'I had to take a deep breath to recover from that passionate kissing.' I blushed. 'Look what you did to me.' He had a boner, seeing him turned on like that made blush even more. I could feel my face turning red. I giggled avoiding eye contact. 'You think this is funny?' He began tickling me, my giggles escalated. I started tickling him too. He started laughing and trying to get away from me to avoid being tickled. We stopped the tickling game and still continued to laugh.
