ZHAVIA

Chapter 24

Adele's POV

"Happy birthday." Paris, Serena and London were both jumping on my bed making me wanna scream.

"Oh my God. What time is it?" I say rubbing my eyes.

"Its 9am. You old lady! Wake up before you sleep your birthday away!" Paris yells and I sit up. The girls hug me and kiss me and scream happy birthday. This happened every year or every birthday.

Its saturday so no school unfortunately...

"We made you breakfast- come on, we even cleaned the house. Get up and get ready." London yells as the two get off my bed and force me up.

"I can't believe I am 22." I say sighing.

"Happy birthday best friend." Serena laughs hugging me. She stayed over last night,

"Right you old." Paris sighs and I laugh as she gets into my bed. I get into the bathroom and shower, brush my teeth, was my hair, shave and all of that good stuff. I get myself lotioned, perfumed before I blow dry my hair and leave it curly.

I wore a yellow dress that was off the shoulder and had a flowy materal around my body. It was short, very short actually I was scared if I bend over my ass would be out, so I wear underwear. I can do make up tonight if I am going out.

"You made breakfast?" I say looking at the twins and I watch Kayden appear.

"Happy birthday!" He yells and I chuckle hugging him. He kisses my cheek and messes my hair a little as if I was his younger sister. "I love you a lot, I will see you later but I have to go to work." He says handing me a box. "Happy birthday sis!" He yells as he runs out.

"Okay. Kayden made most of it." London says as I sit down. "You guys so sweet."

"This is from us." She says handing me another box she takes from Serena.

"Thanks guys- arent I spoiled?" I say opening the gifts. One was a picture of me and the twins and Kayden. All four of us sitting in a restaurant- Paris took the selfie. I wanted to cry - it was so cute. My family.

I open the second one and it was a necklace and it had Adele on it. It was so sweet all.

"We just love you." Paris says. "And we are appreciative and grateful for you."

"This is way too much soppy shit." I say and they just laugh.

Ace appears in the kitchen, I did not even hear through the loud voices and laughter.

I have not seen him in a few days. Maybe a week. He was out of town for business, I am not sure when he even returned to NYC. I missed him a lot of what I do know.

I get up as he smirks at me just standing there. He wore his typical Ace outfit, skinny but not too skinny jeans, white air forces and a white tshirt. There was a bruise on the side of his face which I did not remember him having last time I saw him.

I put my hand on his cheek as I walked over looking at the bruise.

"Don't start." He says and I roll my eyes at him. "Happy birthday." He says grinning at me as he takes my hand off his face and pulls me in as I wrap my arms around his neck holding him a few seconde. He made me feel so happy within seconds. I let go and he kisses my lips.

"22 today." He says and I chuckle. Ace liked to go all out for my birthdays. This is my 3rd birthday with him in ny life.

"Helloooo." Paris says. "Hi Ace?"

"Hi P." He says as he lets go of me. "You're very energetic this morning." He says to London. Usually she was either sleeping or she would have her head hidden somewhere- she hates mornings.
