"HAPPY BIRTHDAYYYYYYYYY!!!" I heard, as I entered the kitchen.
Ah, the yearly ritual.
We always have a hefty breakfast together on my birthday.
"Good morning.." I mumbled, going to take a seat.
"Morning, birthday girl, how does it feel to be 18?" Elio smiled.
I chuckled, "Sooooo different."
He chuckled back at me.
All of my brothers took their turns wishing me a happy birthday and kissing me on the forehead.
"Um...where's papa..?" I asked.
"Right here! Happy birthday, my beautiful angel!" Papa exclaimed from behind me.
I turned around with a smile on my face, and gasped when I saw what papa was holding.
"Oh-oh my chicken strips! Is that for me?!" I asked, standing up quickly.
Papa chuckled, "Of course it is, he doesn't have a name yet, so you'll have to think about that. "
He got me a cat!
"Thank you so much papa, this is amazing!" I smiled widely.
He handed me the kitten, I took him in my arms and oh my...
He was so soft.
"We have gifts for you too, sorella. But let's eat first?" Romeo said.
I nodded. Breakfast looked very yummy.
We all started eating and talking. I wish we had more mornings like this, but I know papa and my brothers are really busy. It doesn't really help that because of my anxiety, I always have the need to be with someone, and because of my brothers being so busy, I end up being alone a lot.
But now, I've met Mateo, and I am not as lonely at all, as I used to be. I am so thankful for him. I can't wait to show him my cat!
After eating, we went to the living room so I could open my presents and wow. I got a lot of stuff.
"Thank you guys so much for all the gifts, I love them!" I smiled.
"Anything for you, sorella." Luciano said.
"I'm gonna take these to my room and set up some stuff for the cat." I said, getting up.
They had also gotten all the essentials for the cat. I scurried to my room with the cat, and immediately facetimed Mateo.
After a few rings, a very sleepy Mateo popped up on the screen.
"Mornin, pretty girl. Happy birthday." he said in a sleepy voice.
"Morning! Thank you, guess what I got!!!" I squealed.
"Mmm...? Show me?" he mumbled.
I pulled the kitten up to the camera.
"Look at him! He's so cute! I just wanna shower him in love and kisses!" I said squealing.
"Hm. What's his name?" he said.
"I haven't decided yet. Can you help me decide?" I smiled.
"You should name him Zorra." Mateo smirked. (bitch)
A/N: i want to point out, that many people get confused with this: Mateo is spanish, Angel is italian! so they dont understand the foreign words of eachother yk?
"I love that name!" I grinned.
"I'm kidding, baby. Don't call him that.." he chuckled.
"Why?" I asked.
"Forget about it. How about you call him Silas?" he said.
I gasped, "That's perfect! Thank you Mateo!!"
He smiled, "Of course baby, now, I'm gonna get up, I'll come get you in a few hours alright? I have a small surprise for you, before we have dinner with your family."
I nodded, "Okay, I'll talk to you later!" I said, blowing kisses at him through the phone.
He blew kisses back and ended the call.
He is so cute. Hehe.
To pass the time, I decided to put away all my new things before going for a long hot shower.
I scrubbed my body with at least 3 different bodyscrubs, washed my hair with shampoo and conditioner, put like two different hair masks, shaved everything before getting out. It took me a solid hour in the shower.
I applied a face mask to my face, before taking out my phone.
It's been a while since I've posted on Instagram.
I selected a few pictures, before going to upload them.

@itsangelinaa
itsangelinaa: got this lil cutie tday <3 say hello to Silas!!
mateoalvarez_ : i wonder who came up w the name ;)
I giggled, putting my phone down. I took way more time than I should've. I washed the face mask off, applied some moisturizer, before going to pick an outfit.
I curled my hair, and added a few hair pins in it, to keep it in place.
Then, I added some foundation, mascara, lip-gloss and highlight.
My phone dinged.
Mateo ♥
im here, princess.
me
okay!! im coming now.
I gave Silas a kiss on the head, before heading out. I stepped out of the front door, and saw Mateo leaning on his car. I rushed towards his open arms, as he enfugled me in a hug.
"Hi baby, you look gorgeous." he said smiling.
I blushed, "Thank you."
"I got something for you." he said, walking to the car, and taking something from the back seat.
"Happy birthday, baby." Mateo smiled, handing me the flowers.
I squealed, "Thank you so so much! I'm going to quickly go put them in a vase!"
I kissed his cheek before quickly going inside to put them in a vase.
After making sure the flowers are alright, I went back out and Mateo opened the car door for me.
Once we were both in the car, he started it and drove off.
"So...where exactly are we going?" I smiled.
He chuckled, "Baby, it won't be a surprise if I tell you..."
"But Mateooooo.." I whined.
"Mmm, no whining, sí?" he hummed.
"You're being a total meanie." I huffed.
"Hmm, I know baby, I'm sorry, it'll be worth it." he said, smirking.
I sighed, "I know it'll be worth it.."
After a while of driving, Mateo pulled up to a small opening.
"This isn't our final destination, but I want to give you something here. Can you recognize where we are?" he smiled.
I looked around, the place seemed familiar, but from where....?
Oh wait.
It's the place where we had our first date!
My eyes lit up in happiness, he remembered?!
"I guess you seem to remember now.." Mateo chuckled.
"You remembered this place?!" I gasped, looking up at him.
He smiled, pulling me closer, "How could I ever forget, baby?"
I smiled, and he kissed my forehead.
"I want to give you something." he said.
I nodded, letting him go on.
He pulled out a small velvet box from his pocket.
This man is not proposing, is he?
"Don't worry, I'm not proposing...yet. This is just a promise ring." he smirked.
I giggled.
He opened the box, and there was a beautiful ring inside.
"With this ring, I promise you that I'll always love you, I'll always stay by your side, no matter how rough the days get. I promise I'll always be a person you can trust, I promise I'll do everything in my power to never hurt you, or let you get hurt. I love you, Angel." he smiled, taking the ring out of the box.
My eyes teared up, "I love you so much Mateo, this is beautiful."
He smiled, "Only the best for you, baby."
He slide the ring on my finger, before linking his ring finger with mine, which made me notice that he had a similar ring on his finger.
"You have one too?!" I gasped.
"Of course, come on, we need to go to our next location." he smiled.
I nodded, "Let's go!"
We got back in the car, and I instantly grabbed Mateo's hand, admiring our matching rings.
Mateo lifted my hand to his lips, and kissed the ring on my finger.
I did the same to the ring on his finger.
"Thank you, seriously. This is so beautiful." I said, smiling while looking at the ring.
"Of course baby, you deserve it, and so much more." he smiled.
He turned up the radio, and we drove in peaceful silence, with me humming along to the songs on the radio.
After around 20 minutes, we arrived at an absolutely gorgeous place.
He had set up a picnic for us right at the side of the lake. This is so gorgeous.
"I love it, Mateo!" I smiled.
"I'm glad you do, baby. Don't eat too much, we have dinner with your family too, remember?" he smirked.
I nodded, before taking a seat.
-
We spent at least two hours just talking and snacking, before Mateo told me that we should get going.
"Can we walk, please? It's not that far away!" I said.
"Sure, I'll end up carrying you back, but anything for my baby." he said, kissing my temple.
We started walking into town, passing by many beautiful stores, and stopping by to take pictures here and there.
We were a little early, so we sat down near the restaurant, waiting for my brothers and papa.
"Baby, is it okay if I post this picture of us? It's very cute." Mateo said.
I looked at the picture, "Sure!"
He smiled, kissing my head.
A minute later, my phone dinged.
@mateoalvarez_ has tagged you in a photo.
I clicked on it.
@mateoalvarez_
mateoalvarez_ : home is whenever i'm with you <3.
vitaleromeoo : boy u better get your grubby hands off my sister RIGHT NOW!!
itsangelinaa : we are pretty cute hehe ♥
Oh my, my brothers are going to kill Mateo, hehe.
10 minutes later, my brothers and papa arrived, all of the brothers glaring at Mateo.
I just smiled, and we headed inside the restaurant, to celebrate my birthday.
For the first time in a long time, I feel genuinely happy.
