Clari's POV:
Today's my birthday.
I didn't make a big deal about it as we had a lot to do, but appearently the boys remembered my birthday.
The first person that greeted me early in the morning was Ren... And by first I mean he surprised me as soon as I opened my eyes, in my bed and still laying in bed.
- Good morning, beautiful! - he said with a smirk - And happy birthday!
- Ah! Thank you! - I giggled as I pulled him into the bed for a tight hug.
----- TIME SKIP -----
Later on the next person I bumped into was Diego.
- Hello, princess - he smiled as he hugged me gently then kissed me softly and lovingly - Happy birthday... My love.
- Thank you - I mumbled, blushing deeply.
- I hope you'll have a great day... But I'll make sure you have... With a little help - he smiled.
- Hm? Do you have any plan? - I asked curiously.
- I have... But I'm not telling you anything yet - he winked.
Huh...
- You're making me curious!
- Then come out to meet the others too!
I just nodded then I followed him outside to the hall where I met with everyone and they all wished me happy birthday on their own ways.
They made me really happy.
But I felt like this day is missing someone.
Someone important...
My father.
I miss him so much, but for now I'll be happy spending my time with the boys and Selvaggia.
----- TIME SKIP -----
As none of the boys went to any work today we had a little party and in the meantime I noticed Ren and Selvaggia pretty close.
- Huh...
- They seem to get along very well - said Aymen, who has been next to me while I was looking at the "love birds".
- Yeah... Way better than before... - I mumbled then smiled - This is interesting...
- Interesting?
- Yes... He has been flirting with me since we first entered the De Rosa Academy and now... He's changing so much... But it's amazing...
- I see... - he mumbled then he took a hold of my hand to get my full attention - But why are you worrying about him so much?
- He's my friend after all and I want him to be happy... As I haven't been returning his feelings fully.
- Fully?
- I meant I love him... But only as a friend...
- And how about me?
- Are we gonna do this now? - I asked - I mean... We have been talking about this...
- Years ago - he cut me off - But not now.
- Aymen, don't... I love you and I'll always be your friend... But my heart belongs to someone else already...
He sighed painfully.
- I'm sorry... - I added, sighing deeply as well.
- Atleast will you tell me who's the person you fell for? - he asked, now smiling a bit cheerfully.
- Uh...
- I'm not gonna tell anyone - he winked which made me giggle and then I decided to whisper him the name - Hm... I see. So it is indeed him...
- Yeah...
- I really don't have any more chance to get you? - he asked one more time.
- In this way no... I'm sorry...
- I'll only forgive you if I can still be your best friend! Uh... Male friend... Or whatever.
I giggled.
- You'll always be my best male friend - I smiled as I hugged him tightly.
