the mystery girl | COMPLETE

chapter 58 | the 18th

(AN: This chapter is pretty long, but it's very important!)

" Happy birthday Lexi! " Olivia yelled, bursting into Alexis' room with streamers.

" Geez Liv, next time check if I'm not in here too. " Noah groaned as he sat up from her bed. Olivia took back her excitement as she saw her and Noah snuggled up in bed together.

" Sorry, didn't know the party started out early for you guys. " She smirked at the couple in front of her. Alexis threw a pillow at her face, and they both laughed. She stood up and walked over to give her a hug.

" Thank you darling. Means a lot that you came this early to decorate. " She chuckled.

It was officially Alexis' 18th birthday. She was technically a legal adult in many countries but here, she was just officially an adult.

They had a whole party planned out at Mari's house but then, Peter got sick and so did Mari and they just couldn't have the party there anymore. So it was gonna be at their place.

" Any surprises in store for us tonight? " Alexis looked at Noah hesitantly, but he shook his head. " No, nothing much. A Photo Booth and the cotton candy machine is the main surprise, but you knew that. "

The theme was a carnival. There wasn't going to be a ferris wheel or rides, but the carnival food and some games where they would alcohol as a prize. And other things too.

" Just another three years and we can take you to the clubs! " She cheered joyfully. " That sounds great but I don't think I'd be able to go out with a little toddler running around. "

" Daddy Noah can totally take care of that when we will have girls night, right? " Olivia smiled angelically towards him, fluttering her lashes. " Let's start by having the baby before we plan for that. " He said, finally going towards the girls.

He scooped Alexis in his arms and kissed the temple of her forehead. " Happy birthday beautiful. " She smiled as he left the room to go freshen up.

" Woah. Flirt alert. " Olivia stuck her tongue out. " What's going on between the both of you? " She asked.

Alexis furrowed her brows, because she wasn't even sure herself. They never said they were in a relationship together but when the others would ask them, they said they were taken.

" I'm not sure. We never made it clear but apparently, we keep telling people that we're together. So I guess, he's my boyfriend. " She smiled happily. Olivia laughed as she saw how flushed Alexis turned.

They both made their way to the kitchen where most of the things were already set up.

" Happy birthday! " Everyone screamed. Well, everyone I mean Noah, Anthony, Miel, Ian, Pam, Sick Mari and Sick Peter.

" No, I look bad guys. Don't do this to me! " She covered her face with her hands. " We've seen you in a drunk state, where you were almost passed out. You look good, trust me. " Miel laughed giving her sister-in-law a hug.

They all exchanged hugs and went to the backyard where Anthony made her a birthday breakfast. The cooler of drinks, a box, some tables and chairs were placed on the deck.

" You didn't have too. " She looked at Anthony. " Every birthday should be special, right? " He smirked at the plan they had in mind. " Totally. "

" Well, eat up! "

Not long after, they all started to get the house ready with more carnival decorations. They set up the food stands, the pre-cooked barbecue. The cotton candy machine that they rented finally arrived and so did the photo booth. Everything was coming together.
