Delilah Morecelli

Chapter 52

Aleksandr is a pain in the ass with all his yapping. Dimitri is currently sitting down with a small smile on his face listening to him annoy the fuck out of me.

Pain in the ass both of them. "You know you're only 18 and you're already a grouchy old man" I roll my eyes and look at aleksandr. "And your 18 still acting like a five year old" he smiles like what I just told him was a compliment.

"Both of you are annoying with your constant bickering. You guys sound like an old married couple." Dimitri speaks up shutting both me and aleksandr up. Dimitri smiled in content at the quietness and continued to draw in his sketch book.

Cynthia comes down sporting a red hoodie with black leggings. I miss Delilah. "Ok we have three days to plan Delilah's surprise birthday party! Ahh I'm so excited."

I smile at the mention of my girl. "I'm on cake and food duty" Dimitri says, of course he gets the easiest job. "Oh! Oh! Me and Nikolai can do decorations." Aleksandr practically jumps from the couch. Like I said five year old.

"Ok great I'll get her distracted that day then while you guys set up everything. She must not know okay? I'm looking at you alek you better shut your mouth" Aleksandr nods his head in agreement, the idiot can't keep a surprise for shit.

Of course I get paired with an idiot. I already have my  gifts for Delilah. I hope she likes them. The past two days the group planned the party with help of my mother. Dimitri and I were in charge of the guest list, even my dad wanted to help out.

days went by quick and Delilah was oblivious to what we were planning. I have ignored her on some occasions and I felt like shit, I was walking the street buying her gift when I see her turn the corner making me panic and go into a baby shop. She has a frown on her face while looking at her phone, she entered her book store and I felt my heart squeeze painfully.

I sent her a quick I love you message with a heart emoji. She read my new message and I saw her wait five minutes before she picked up her phone immediately to text me back. I laughed and quickly walked away to finish buying the last minute party stuff.

We're hosting the party at aleksandr and Dimitris house. I get to my house and go to my room, I laid down on my bed exhausted and was about to take a nap when Katerina slammed my door open. "Katerina how many times have I told you to not slam my door" she shrugs her shoulders and climbs onto my bed.

"I need your help!" I straightened up worried for a minute. She had tiaras in her hands and I relaxed. "You don't know which one to wear?" She shook her head and huffed out a sigh. "I don't know which one will look prettier on Delilah, it's her birthday present."

"I like this one" I said and she smiled. "Great I think I'll go with this one! Thank you so much love you." She completely chose a different tiara, why did she even ask me in the first place. Maybe Aleksandr is right I'm a grouchy old man inside of an 18 year olds body.

The next day I woke up and congratulated my beautiful girl and made an excuse as to why I couldn't hang out. I felt like shit but got ready and headed out to Aleksandr and Dimitris house. Of course Aleksandr was still sleeping.

I'm contemplating running Aleksandr over with the shopping cart. I know those ankle burns hurt like shit. We were shopping for the food ingredients Dimitri loves to cook so he wanted to make the food. He was putting in food items into the shopping cart when bags of chips landed inside.

We both looked up to Aleksandr trying to put the sodas into the cart. Dimitri rolled his eyes mumbling under his breath while walking through the isles. After we payed we headed over to this party store to buy the decorations.

We grabbed pink balloons, streamers, pink table cloths. Confetti and flowers for her. "I swear Aleksandr if you let go of those balloons, I will break you ribs" Dimitri said while handing them to his brother. I smiled and walked to the car.

When we arrived we quickly began to decorate the place. Dimitri got busy with making the food, while Aleksandr headed out to go buy ice for the beverages. I made sure to decorate nice and set the tables up. It wasn't a big party, only the people that matter to her will be here.

Time went by quick, I had called Delilah and she went on about how Cynthia was the best friend anyone can have. I'm glad she was enjoying her special day. Just hearing her so happy filled me with contempt and the need to protect her.

The guest began to arrive and put their presents on a table. Delilah's mom smiled at me and I was glad she took the day off to be here. Her brothers later on came and placed their five bags of gifts on the present table. My family then got here and came to hug me along with Aleksandr's and Dimitri's dad

When Cynthia alerted me they were pulling into the drive way. We all shut the lights and hid when I heard the door open. I turned the lights on and confetti exploded when everyone jumped out screaming surprise. Delilah jumped in shock and took a look around the room.

She smiled and her eyes became watery. "I don't know what to say.. thank you everyone" she smiled and I couldn't keep my eyes off her she had me entranced. She had her hair straightened and was wearing a pink pastel dress. God the things I want to do to her.

She came up to me and hugged me tight. "You.. you're so... ugh I love you so much. Thank you for this." I kissed her softly and let her greet everyone. She was radiating happiness the whole night.

Her laughter resonated through the room as she danced with her brothers, as she talked with everyone, when she managed to pull me to dance with her. I swore to kill anyone who takes this smile and happiness from her.

When it was time for the cake she couldn't look more angelic. She blew her candles out and looked at me with such love I was going into cardiac arrest. Stunning that's what she was.

When everyone left, I helped her carry the presents into my car. The group stayed back to clean up. "Thank you guys so much you made this one of the best birthdays I've ever had. I'm so grateful for all of you" She looked at us and smiled.

"You're my best friend Delilah you deserve the best" Cynthia said and hugged her tightly. We stayed in the living room eating chips and watching a movie before I had to drive her home.

"I love you" I looked down at her and she blushed at my words. "Are you ready for your last birthday gift?" She nodded and I was happy I finally get a taste of her in that pretty dress.
