Simon's pov:

I waited impatiently leaning against my car far across their school gate. I glanced every minute passed on my watch to hear their school bell. After half an hour wait, school boys started making their way out from the school. I roamed my eyes among the boys, finally spotting a brown headed good looking boy.

He carefully watched the road before crossing to make his way towards the café. I waved my hands high up in the air "Walliams...here" I called out

A big smile formed on his face as he ran towards me. We almost hugged when he get closer. There were some boys and people walking on the street, so we shook our hands instead, awkwardly "get in fast" I told him to

We quickly moved away from the crowd. I took the opposite direction of the usual at the corner. I can saw,  with the corner of my eyes, he looked at me confusedly. After I made sure we were free from someone eyes, I slowed down and parked at the side.

I turned to face him. He hadn't put down his school bag yet, his hair was slicked back neatly even after the end of school. I reached my arm to cupped his chubby cheek, he quickly leaned on it and I smiled "happy birthday baby boy" I advanced towards his lips, swept lightly with mine

His eyes were open wide in surprise "you know it....you know it" he exclaimed happily, jumping joyfully on the seat

"how can I not know about my baby's big day" I chuckled as I rubbed my thumb to his lower lips. I kissed him hard one more time "now put on the radio....we are going somewhere"

He didn't question me, he simple turned on the radio playing starship

'lookin' in your eyes I see a paradise
This world that I found is too good to be true..'

He grabbed his water bottle as a mic, singing along at the top of his voice. I shook my head and smile, those two lines brought out exactly what I want to say to him. He's here sitting next to me, closing his eyes fully absorbed himself into the music; not knowing every lyrics was something I want to tell him.

'and if this world runs out of lover
We'll still have each other
Nothing gonna stop us now....'

Billy Joel's uptown girls, the song from Abba that always makes him wiggled his body, the Bee Gee's, we go around and round until I stop in front of the huge blue gate

"no way!!!!" he cheerfully peeped out the window "you really gonna take me there?!!!"

"if only you want to" this kinda place was not my thing to be honest. I've never been before but if he was along with me, I didn't mind to. Anyway, I'm happy to see him happy.

"no no no....i want to. I've only been here when I was a little boy, for once. Oh my God...it's gonna be the best birthday ever" he smiled from ear to ear, taking my hand "come on dada...take me there already"

We walked hands in hands inside the Thorpe Park. There were lots of people, busying either with their kids or food, so I held his hands freely. I looked around to find that every boys and girls have a flying balloon. I found a man standing near the bin holding bunch of them "stay here" I quickly walked toward that man. I picked the pink one to match my baby pinky cheeks

"here...don't let it go" I loosely tied on his wrist. He watched me with a lovely grin; briefly kissed me on the check and mouth 'thank you'

We walked further, crowds screaming became louder and louder. In front of us was a big rollercoaster, driving crazily fast and it spins too, what the hell!!
