"On the day of your birthday"
"You would get cake,sweets and gifts"
"She gave her one too"
"Which was a kiss"
She looked for him everywhere but there was no clue of where he was or went. She searched the entire house, every room and didn't find him which made her wonder
"Where did he go?" She had only thought this when there was a knock on the door. She quickly opened it and there she stood standing infront of his eyes. A smile came on her face and seeing her lovely eye smile appeared on his face too.
"Where were you?"she held his hand as if they were separated for centuries
"Busy" he replied and came inside the room.
"Busy with your best friend I suppose" she folded her arms and pursed her lips.
"No busy in making preparations for my love" he said and pecked her cheek. What he said had her surprised and she turned behind and said
"Fredrick what do you mean?"
"I mean that we can go out to celebrate your birthday" he responded
"You know that Louis doesn't know about our relationship and what will happen if he catches us?" Minnie stated the problem
"You don't need to worry because he is gone on a mission" Fred informed her
"A bloody mission?"Minnie further questioned
"A bloody long mission meaning that we have time for us. Also get ready iam waiting for you outside" he told and was about to exit when she inquired
"Where are we going?"
"That is a surprise"he smiled and closed the door. Minnie heard the sound of his steps going down the stairs and she made her way to the closet. She picked two dresses from the closet and placed them on the bed to have a good look on them. One of them was a baby pink colour dress which had long sleeves and a ribbon on the back. The second dress was a black dress and at the bottom of the dress there were ruffles. At the end she chose the black dress. Wearing it she hurriedly went to the dressing table and opened its drawer. Inside which there were hairties,clips, and a box of bobby pins. She tied her light brown hair in a bun and letted out some strans loose on the front. She also added a gold clip to her hair and wore sliver earrings. The same silver earrings which Fredrick gave her on her last birthday. For shoes she wore black block heels and was all ready.
She barely went out of the mansion to another place and since she had the chance to spend the night with Fredrick she had to fulfil her deisres of looking fashionable. She came out of the room looking her best and the moment Fred caught sight of her it seemed as if some magic had been done on him. He didn't know which feature it was that was attracting him towards her. Was it her round eyes with brown marbles or was it her bow shaped lips. Since her hair was tied her ears which wore earrings were visible to Fredrick and he became happy to see that she appreciated his gift.He came upto her
"Could you not have fell?"
"And why's that?"Minnie asked him raising her brows
"It would have been a pleasure to have you in my arms" Fredrick said playfully. The girl looked at away acting as if she wasn't impressed. But in reality she got shy from his words and kept a blank face. Fredrick's smile changed into a victorious one when he realized that he made Minnie's heart skip a beat.
"Well now that your ready. Shall we go?" His eyes couldn't look away from her as if they were glued to her. Everything about her seemed alluring to him.
"Let's go" she walked past him as she said this
-----------------------------------------
Fredrick stopped the car infront of a tall building. The couple went out of the vehicle and Fred locked Minnie's hand in his own. Their was a guard outside who was waiting for them.
"Hello and welcome sir and mam"the guard greeted them politely
"Is everything ready?"Fred asked him
"Yes yes sir every single thing is ready" the guard said in full confidence. He was sure that after seeing the interior Fredrick would not be disappointed.
"Ok and here"he handed the guard some cash which the guard took with a
"Thank you"
Fred took Minnie inside the building and they were taken to the place booked by Fredrick for this very night. The brown door was opened by some females and the gorgues interior had Minnie's eyes widened and she was astonished. The place was only for the two of them but the decorations made it look as if there was about to be a grand party there being held by some millionare. There were rose petals on the ground and a refreshing scent had captured the place. The schandelier made the place glow with its light. There was a table and two chairs in the center and on it there was a candlestick which held three candles. The flames of the candle danced as it slowly melted. Minnie read the gold painted words carved from wood and nailed on the wall.
"Happy birthday Minnie"the words spelled
A wine bottle was also on the table with a water bottle being its partner.
"Fred this is..."
"Fantastic" Fred cutted her before she could finish her sentence
"Words fail to describe the beauty of this place"she said
"And words fail to describe your beauty"he turned to her with love in his eyes.
"Today your acting too much flirty"Minnie told him
"And what if I told you I wasn't acting" Minnie didn't give him any word and went to sit on the chair. Fredrick followed her and sat with her. A waitress came to get their order.
"Sir what would you like to have?"she asked them holding a notepad in her hand a blue gelpen in the other just incase if the order was too long.
"The entire menu"Fredrick said making both the girls shocked
"Sir that would include the drinks and the deserts as well"the girl told him biting on the cap of the ballpen
"Didn't I say the entire menu?" Fredrick repeated himself and the female left from the there astonished. The order was long but she didn't have to remember it. It was just three words but the food was a lot.
"Fred what are we going do with that much food?"Minnie asked him worried about the wastage of food.
"Don't worry the headchef is my friend. I will ask him to give the rest to the homeless people"
"This place looks expensive. How much did you spend on all of this?" She asked the amount of money he spent to give her all of this.
"If I tell you then you will start fighting with me" Fredrick knew Minnie well. He spoiled her with a lot of gifts and the first question which she would ask would always be the amount of money he spent on it and if the amount was more than what she expected then her mood would be ruined.
"I never thought you had this much money" Minnie said pouring some water in her glass beside which was a folded napkin
"Honey do you really think I have no other job than being Louis's bestfriend?" Fredrick spoke making Minnie puzzled by the sudden reveal.
"You have another job?"she broke out. Her brain addled
"Other jobs" he gave his answer
"And what are those jobs?" She putted her question but before she could get an answer some waiters came in their direction holding heavy trays loaded with food.
"That was quick"Minnie said when the man who was placing the plates of food on the table told
"We have the best chefs"
Minnie took a plate and added some of the starters in it. She took a bite and felt the taste of cheese fill her mouth. The outside of the cutlet was crispy but the inside was soft and cheesy. Fredrick looked as her cheeks became big as she chewed. He letted out a jolly chuckle when he got reminded of a squirrel as he watched Minnie eat.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing you continue to eat"he told her and added some food in his plate too.
In the mean time all the rest of the food also came and they had to replace the table because the food was too much and the table was small to have all the edibles on it.
They ate and filled their stomach till they could eat no more. The waiters came back to pick up the food and Fred got up from his seat to talk with the chef who was his friend.
The waiters took him to the kitchen and he saw his friend decorating Minnie's birthday cake.
"Hey Chen" Fred said and Chen looked at him with a wide smile. When he smiled his eyes were almost fully closed.
"Oh hey"he said sprinkling the chocolate chips on the cake and came to hug Fred.
"How are you?'Fred asked delighted to meet him. He had only called him to tell the address where he was preparing for Minnie's birthday and how he only wanted Chen's food there.
"Good and what about you?"the Chinese man asked
"Iam fine. The food was delicious" Fred told him as Chen wrapped his hand around his shoulder
"Ofcourse it was made by the legendary Chen and come come let me show you the cake" Chen took him to the shelf where Minnie's cake was. It was a chocolate cake with cream and chocolate chips on the top. All that was left was the candle.
"Tadaa"he said showing Fred his masterpiece. Fred didn't need to judge the cake in terms of looks or in taste because he knew that whatever Chen cooked would be the best. The guy didn't win many food competitions for nothing.
"It looks great"
"Also tell me the bill"Fred added to which Chen said
"What bill?"
"The bill of the food. The entire menu" Fred told him to which Chen clicked his tongue
"I came here to make Minnie's birthday memorable for you two and not to do my everyday work of selling things and beside the chef Mr Derick and his boys also helped me" Chen explained rejecting Fred's money
"Ok but I will still pay you,Mr Derick and the boys" Fred wasn't the one to accept anything free even from a friend. It was either that he was earning it or paying for it.
"Alright alright but let's go give the cake to Minnie"Chen putted small colourful candles on the cake and lighted them. With the cake they went outside and sang happy birthday to her as they brought the cake. Everyome sang with them including the waiters and waitresses. Their voices didn't need to be melodious because them wishing her a birthday was a great feeling of happiness for her. As they placed the cake on the table a waitress came and handed Minnie a bouquet.
"Now lets cuts the cake"Chen said giving Minnie a knife. Fredrick and her cutted the cake together and she fed the first piece to Fredrick and then tasted the cake herself. They also served the cake to everyone present there and also took a picture together. This was probably a day Minnie would remember forever.
They then moved to the table where the gifts were placed. Most of them were from Fredrick but Mr Derick and Chen also gave her gifts. The gifts were a handbag,some cookies, chocolates,a dress and the most special one was a silver necklace which was from none other than Fredrick.
"Last time you gave me these earrings and now this necklace. Will I have to wait one more year to get my ring?"she asked making people laugh
"Minnie you shouldn't want that wish to be fulfilled quick because life with Fred would be chaos"Chen told her jokingly
"It is already chaos" Minnie stated and it was all over.
They said goodbye and before going home Fred gave cash to everyone there generously. On the other hand Chen and Mr Derick had started to pack the food to be given to the homeless people.They sat in the car and went home but the real surprise was waiting for both of them when they realized that Louis had came home. With this being well known Fred stepped out of the car and asked a guard
"When did Louis return!?"
"It has been half an hour" the guard told him. He didn't know the exact time but was somewhat close to the time at which Louis made his return.
He went to the car and Minnie looked at him concerned.
"Your room is upstairs right?"Fred asked
"Hmm"
"Why is it upstairs!?"Fred said in tension. He didn't know what reaction Louis would have when he comes to find out about their relationship which they have been in for an year.
"Wait right here let me go and see where he is?"Fred left and opened the door and saw Louis standing there. The worst part was that he was seen. Fred was about to close the door and leave when
"Fred!" He heard his name and was left with no other option than to step inside.
"Where were you?"Louis asked him
"Outside" Fred answered trying to hide his nervousness from his friend.
"Outside where?. I called you once and you didn't pick up" Louis said and took out the phone from his pocket. Fred was left in shock when Louis unlocked his phone.
"You know the password!?"he asked his friend
"Iam not blind so obviously"Louis checked his phone and added
"Wow it's on silent. You never have your phone on silent" The stress inside Fredrick increased when Louis still didn't return his phone back.
"Bro you know there is something like privacy" Fred tried to snatch his phone back but Louis stopped him
"There is no privacy between the mafia king and his sidekick"
"Okay so now we are just master and slave instead of bestfriends!" Fred spoke in anger. His ego was hurt when Louis said that.
"Did that hurt you?"Louis asked him grinning
"Just give it back"Fred whined and looked down when Louis placed his hand on his shoulder
"Why did you not invite me?"
"Huh?" he looked up and Louis showed him the picture which they just took.
"Did you really think I wouldn't know about your relationship?" The mafia king spoke making his friend confused and astonished at the same time.
"You knew?"
"I have known this for a long time and what did you think?. I would get mad at my brother for getting a girl. Just because I don't have any love in my life doesn't mean I won't let you get yours. It's your life so you can live it however you want. I won't care if you love Minnie or anyone else"
"Did...did you just call me your brother?"Fred asked him for the confirmation of what his ears just heard.
"Haven't you always been one?"Louis said and all of a sudden Fred hugged him. It was the first time he was able to hear the sweetest words from Louis and his heart melted.
"Hey let me go. You forgot your girl in the car" Louis reminded him and Fred ran back to get Minnie.
Fred and Minnie came back inside. He didn't tell her what exactly happened so she was bewildered when Louis didn't share any word with them. He dropped Minnie at her room and was about to go downstairs when Minnie held his hand and pulled him in a kiss. He didn't even try to pull back because maybe he was also wanting it from her. The kiss was not too short and not too long. It was full of passion and love and was enough for both of them. Minnie stepped back after making her bold move.
"What was that?" Fred asked her not recovered from her sudden attack which made his heartbeat faster.
"Just a little gift"Minnie said blushing and closed the door.
Fred turned around smiling as if he achieved something big and saw Louis recording him with his phone.
"HEY!"Fredrick rushed down the stairs and Louis started to laugh.
"Louis delete it" Fred said which sounded more like begging to Louis.
"I thought men were ahead of women in this task. Gues I was wrong" he spoke and yawned. His hand covering his mouth.
"Iam sleepy now and iam going to sleep so it's better for you to leave"He then added
" If you want to stay then you can sleep on the couch and if it's not comfortable then since Jurin has left so noone would be disturbed by the...
Before Louis could say anything else and drive Fredrick insane he spoke out
"Iam leaving" He had clearly understood what Louis was about to say further.
Louis didn't care any more and went in his room.
