★★KEN'S POOL HOUSE★★
The day has arrived.It was Ken's birthday..the preparations were sets,the decorations were marvelous..the dishes,wine,side snacks were all arranged on each table..
The pool side was a sight to behold,it was getting dark and the lights and decorations were becoming more beautiful.
In less than an hour,the place would be flooded.Guest were already arriving little by little....the birthday was here.
"Just go round let me see the decorations Kenny"Mrs.Center spoke with excitement.It was her baby's birthday..she wanted to know how the decorations went
"Mom,I've sent you the pictures already...now you want me to go round the house?...do you know how large the house is?"
He has been on the video call with his mom for close to like 20minutes now,she asked about how he spent the money they gave him for the decorations,he snapped it and sent it to her..but she wasn't satisfied.She wanted a video of it
"Mom,I can't do a video of it all right now...I need to prepare and get dressed for the party"Ken raised his chin up,showing how tired he was of the call.
"Hunny,I think it's best you let the kid go prepare for his birthday"Mr.Center spoke up...though he wasn't in the video call,but he voice was heard.
"Thank you Dad"Ken said pleased.
"Is Trip there with you?"His mom knew wherever there is Ken, there is always a Trip sitting around somewhere.
Trip stopped what he was doing and waved to Ken's mom"Hi aunt"
She noticed Trip was bare chested"Trip did you spend the night alone with Ken?"
Those words represented something.
"You know,if I haven't known you guys for quite sometime now I'd think you guys are gay"
"Mom....."Ken was feeling ashamed.
"Uhmm....Aunt,I'm straight.I love women alot"Trip smirked at her.
"I know..but there are tons of rooms in the house,why sleep together?"
Trip didn't feel embarrassed at all"Aunt,you're speaking as if Ken and I had sex last night....I don't do boys"
Ken gave him a light tug"Bro..."he rolled his eyes"You know what mom, I'd call you after the party..bye"
And with a beep he hang up the call.
He held his nape tightly...
"Day by day my mom just keeps getting annoying"
Trip laughed and said"Actually,she seem sweet to me"He tossed his dress to him."I think it's best you start getting ready..the guest are arriving"
Ken brought out his phone attempting to call his chauffeur to go pick up Anna,Christy and Tang Yan.
"Who are you calling"Trip stared at him blankly.
"My chauffeur...I promised Anna I'd send him to go pick them up for the party"
"Oooh"
"Yeah"He made the call..and after the call ended.He stared at Trip in a coy way.
"Let's get dressed"

★★★CHRISTY'S DORM★★★
"The chauffeur is here,let's go already"Tang Yan was getting tired of waiting for Anna and Christy to dress up.
She wasn't a fan of flashy dresses...so she just picked up any dress she saw, applied a little make up and she was ready.
"Just a minute"Anna called out.
Christy was out already,looking beautiful as ever..She let her hair down giving it a light curl,she also applied some make up.
On her earlobes were dangling heart shaped earrings.She put on a bloody red dress.Her dress was short revealing her legs.On her legs were silver heels..which brought out the colour of her dress.
"Okay,I'm done"Anna was finally out.Her dress was similar to what Christy wore.....but it was in a lotus green colour.
"Wow"Tang Yan eyed them both"You guys really prepared for this party..So,can we go now?"
"Yes"They both giggled.

★★KEN'S POOL HOUSE★★★
{The Birthday Party....}
8'o clock in the evening.
In the pool house....
All the guests had arrived...some were in the pool side,some inside the main house,some at the lobby..they were all scattered everywhere..partying,lively and full of joy.
"Wow,I never expected the pool house to be so big...when I heard a pool house,I thought it would just be a miniature house with a pool in it.....but damn!,it's so big"Tang Yan face was full with excitement.
"Me too,that was actually my thought too...I never expected the house to be so big"Anna spoke along too with a smile.
"Let's go inside...if we stand here admiring the house, people would think we haven't been to a pool house before"Christy who was standing beside Anna commanded.
They all walked into the house...it was so lively.The music was loud, waiters were walking round with trays in their hand.At the left side of the hall were situated gifts for Ken.
All of a sudden the music quite down and Ken and Trip walked down the stairs.
Birthday songs started playing and everyone sang along.Standing at the stair and watching everyone sing for him,Ken felt himself soaring to great heights
They bothslowly descended from the stairs.their faces were full of pride and excitement.
He picked up the microphone and spoke proudly:
"I want to thank you all for being here today..but most especially I want to appreciate God,my parents and my brother from another mom Trip for making this day a success"
"Seeing the gifts and your smiling faces made me realize how blessed I am today.i am not good with sentimental words but I want you all to know I love you all..let us party tonight like it's our last"
And with that he dropped the mic..his face was full of pride and excitement,the music continued and everyone started partying.
"I thought you had a gift for Ken?"Tang Yan asked Anna
She stared at the gift pile at the left side of the house and felt that her gift was kind of cheap
"I don't know,What if he doesn't like it?,or what if he thinks it's cheap"she spoke with a low self-esteem
Christy spun her around and smiled at her"Seeing it come from you,I am sure he'd love it..now go give it to him"
"You think?"
"I am sure of it"Christy reassured her.
And with that she left..

On the other hand,
Trip saw Christy and Tang yan from afar,but his gaze was only on Christy..she was beautiful tonight.
Seeing her eyes glitter as she danced he felt somewhat excited"What is it with you that gets me guessing?"he thought.
Then he decided to walk over in their direction.
Christy immersed with the song playing,she danced melodiously all of a sudden a voice disrupted her dance
"You love beautiful tonight"He spoke in a playboy-ish way"And your eyes make me wanna drown in them"
Christy was dumbstruck she stared at him blankly.
He leaned in closer to her,And gave her a piercing gaze.
Tang Yan noticed the change of atmosphere and quietly slipped away.
"Thank you"She replied solemnly with her pupil tightened.
"This place is kinda crowded and busy,can we go to the lobby,if you don't mind?"he said coquettishly
**********************************
They arrived at the lobby and surprisingly,it was quiet.though the sound of music still reached there but it was a bit faint.
"Have a seat"He gestured to her.
Christy was feeling extremely shy and nervous,but she decided not to show it."You look handsome today"
"Actually,I am always handsome everyday...you just don't notice it"He said full of pride.
"Wow,what an ego"She blurted.
He laughed,"I am not being egotistical,I am just stating a fact....you do know I am handsome or you find me attractive"
"Hmmmm~"
"What?"he rested his hand on his chin.
"Nothing"There was a smile on her lips and in the corner of her eyes.
It worked.He knew that as long as he acted coy with her,she would relax around him.
"Well,I actually called you out here because I need your help with something"He knew that Ken won't tell Anna how he felt about her,so he decided to take a move.
"And what is that?"She said puzzled.
"Ken likes Anna,and I need you to help me bring both of them together"He said plainly.

After searching for him for close to like 15 minutes,she finally found him.Just as she was about to go meet him,Stacy approached him.
"Happy Birthday Ken"She walked towards him and placed a light kiss on his lips.
Ken smiled at her"I didn't know you'd come"
Stacy had seen Anna from afar,but she quickly took action.Kissing Ken wasn't part of her plan,but she wanted Anna to know that as long as she was around,no one was getting Ken.
"I wouldn't miss your birthday for anything in the world"She wiped off the lipstick mark on his lips.
Anna watched the both of them,her face alternating between shock and regret.Are Stacy and Ken dating?,she thought Stacy was only on Ken search list because he wanted her to see how Stacy made her videos
But no!,she was on his most recent search list because both of them were dating.
Stacy knew the thoughts that were running through Anna's mind she liked it.She knew Ken wasn't aware of Anna presence so she spoke up:
"Don't just stand there...weren't you going to give him a gift or wish him happy birthday?"
Ken turned to see who Stacy was talking to,and it was Anna....She was beautiful tonight.His eyes scanned her outfit,her earrings her makeup,she was so beautiful.
"Anna...I was looking for you"He walked towards her direction."How was your ride here?,and are you enjoying the party?"
She couldn't help but feel annoyed,but she hid it perfectly"It was fine..thanks for the pick up."
She thrust the red box at him"I got you this..I don't know if you'd like it...but Happy Birthday Kennedy Center"
Upon seeing it,he immediately unwrapped the present.He couldn't help but feel a twinge of excitement as he saw the necklace with his intials on it.
"Wow,this is beautiful Anna"He took it out and admired it"I really love this...can you put it on for me?"
She looked at him in surprise,and helped him put the necklace on"I am glad you like it"
She stared at Stacy whose hands were wrapped around Ken's hand like a five year old afraid of walking on Her Own
She smiled at both of them"I guess you are busy,So I'd go"And with that she left.
Stacy was extremely pleased.She raised her chin,her face was full of mockery.."Ken..want to dance?"
"Dance with you?,Nahhh I'm not in the mood"He watched Anna head to the direction of the lobby"I need to go somewhere"He left her standing there alone and embarrassed.

≈≈≈THE LOBBY≈≈≈
A little over ten minutes later,Anna met Christy at the lobby.
There was a smile on Christy's face.It is working..
This was all part of Trip's plan,to make Christy call Anna over to the lobby and make her confess her feelings to Ken..then he would call Ken over there so he would overhear Anna's confession.
"Anna,you are here,take a seat"She noticed Anna soar attitude"What happened?"
Anna was just so angry that she didn't feel like explaining anything to anyone"Its nothing"
"Come on you can tell me anything"She heard a notification sound from her phone,it was a message from Trip.
💬:We are here already,get her to start confessing.
She smiled at the text.
When she heard that Ken likes Anna,she was overjoyed...and now she felt like she could help Anna with starting a relationship with Ken.
💬:"It is all going as planned...I Love you"She replied his text.
She stared at the message she sent to Trip...
No!!!!
....She wanted to text"It is all going as planned,thank you..not I love you"Fuck!.
The plan was to make Anna confess her feelings for Ken,not the other way round.She quickly tapped the delete button but the message already clicked:
"Read"
There is only one thing to do now,get Anna to confess her feelings for Ken,then she'd explain the text message to Trip.
