Days later, Nina was climbing down from stairs holding some documents when she almost bumped into Richard, they stared awkwardly at each other.
“Am sorry Mr. Richard”. She said nervously.
” Is okay, how are you feeling?”. He asked
“Am fine, thanks for asking”.
” You are welcome”.
“I will take my leave now”. She sputtered and turned to leave, but Richard called her back.
” Actually, tomorrow is my birthday and I will be having a little celebration at my house, I will love it if you honor my invitation”. he said and Nina couldn’t hide her excitement.
“Sure, I will definitely be there, happy birthday in advance”.
” Thank you”. he walks away.
“Yes!”. She said excitedly and left for her office.
Richard came to Alex’s office.
” Here comes the birthday boy”. Alex said and they shook hands and sat down.
“How is it going?”.
” Never been better”.They continue chatting
Aurora was heading to her office when a hand suddenly dragged her to one of the stairs.
“Nina, what are you doing?”.
” Guess what”. Nina said excitedly and Aurora sighed tiredly at her.
“What? You know I am not good at guessing”.
” Okay, I will tell you, Mr. Richard just invited me to his birthday party tomorrow”. she said excitedly.
“Yeah, he invited everyone, so you are not the first”.
” Don’t be a joy killer, she frowns and hits her shoulder.
“Ouch! That hurt!”.
” He invited me personally “.
” Did he give you an invitation card?”.
“No, but he invited me, so tell me what I should give him as a present”.
” I don’t know, what do you have in mind?”.
“I don’t know yet”.
” Try and think about it”. She said and Nina sighed.

••Richard’s mansion ••
The celebration began, few guests were invited including his siblings. Aurora and Nina arrived at the event looking gorgeous in their dining gown.
“Wow, this is beautiful”. Nina said as she stared amazingly at the decoration of the living room.” This is the third time I am coming to his house”.
“This means you are the lucky girl “. Aurora said.
” I wish!”. she scoffed and they caught sight of him talking with Alex and some other people.”Wow, he is so cute! Do you think he will like my gift for him?”.
“Why not”.
” But I am not the only one present here with gifts, there are so many ladies here drooling over him and with presents as well “. She said palely and Aurora sighed tiredly.
” Don’t give up here, I guess you are still special here, and not only that, you look prettier more than those girls drooling over him”. Aurora said.
“Yeah, but I can’t have him, he doesn’t even look at me the way I do”.
” It takes time, so, just be yourself”.
“Sure”. they smiled at each other and then they saw Alex and Richard walking towards them.
” They are coming here”.
“Act cool Nina”. She said nervously and they came over. She hid the present behind her back
” Hey ladies, you girls made it”. Richard said.
“Yeah, happy birthday”. Aurora said and gave him the little present she bought for him.
” Thanks “.
” You are welcome”. She smiled and Alex winked at her.
“if you guys will excuse us, I would like to have a private chat with her”. Alex said as he took Aurora’s hand and they walked away.
” Am glad you came”. Richard said and Nina smiled bashfully.
“Thank you for inviting me, your party is amazing, happy birthday once again”.
” Thank you”.
“I ha–” she got interrupted by someone who called Richard’s name from behind, the young lady rushed to him and hugged him tight before planting a kiss on his cheek. Nina felt heartbroken.
“Why are you here,? Everyone is looking for you”. She took his hand and dragged him away. Nina sighed sadly.
” You can’t beat the girls drooling over him, they are too perfect to compete with”. She said and called a waiter and took a drink from him and sipped from it.”My life is such a mess”. She sighed and then two ladies came over and started discussing about Richard.
👤”Gosh! The celebrant is so cute! I wish I could shoot my shot “.
👩🦰 ” Me too, I am definitely getting his contact this night”.
👤”I don’t think he has a girlfriend”.
👩🦰” I think he does, look over there are pretty ladies here and I know one of them is his girlfriend, but I don’t care, I still want him”. They chuckle and walk away.
“Are you okay?”. Aurora interrupted her from behind.
” Yes”. she sighs.
“You didn’t give him the present?”. She asked seeing the gift in her hand.
” I was about to when someone came and dragged him away, I guess that might be his girlfriend”.
“So, you are jealous”. Aurora teased.
” Why should I? He is not even mine”.
“Don’t be, you never can tell if the person that drags him away is his girlfriend or his sister, I heard his siblings are present here as well”
“I wish I was as lucky as you are with Mr. Alex, you two look perfect together despite facing the most difficult problem in your lives “.
” Come on chill, you can still give him the present at the appropriate time”.They smile at each other.
Then the MC of the day, boom on the mic asking the celebrant to choose five ladies to dance with, everyone gasped in excitement. All the ladies were hoping and eager to be picked. Aurora and Nina stood in one corner chatting and not paying attention to what was happening. Richard begins his search and dances with his two siblings and is left with three.
👤”Please let him pick me “.
They were praying silently as he had already danced with four ladies related to him and was left with one. Everyone was still waiting to be picked, but they felt disappointed as he walked passed all of them to where Aurora and Nina were.
” May I have this dance?”. He asked standing behind Nina and they turned to him surprisedly, they looked around to see disappointment in every lady’s face.
“Um, Me?”. Nina asked nervously and Richard nodded stretching his hand to her.
” Dance with me “.
” Um, am sorry, I don’t know how”. She blushed.
“There is no harm in trying”. He took her hand and walked to the stage, he placed his hand on her waist and held the other one and they started waltzing to the music cooling, Aurora stared lovingly at them.
” You wanna dance?”. Alex asked from behind, he took her hand and pulled her to the stage before she could say anything.
They danced beautifully and everyone stared amazingly at them and cheered them up. Some minutes later, the dance ended and they bowed to each other before leaving the stage.
“That was amazing”. Nina said hugging Aurora.
” I know right”. They pulled away from each other.” I told you, you are special, he chooses to dance with you and ignore the rest”.
“Yeah, I wish it could last forever, it feels so warm with him”.
” I know right”. They chuckle
Everyone continued enjoying the party till it was getting darker and Nina was still finding a convenient time to present her gift to Richard.
“How will I get his attention to give him this?”. She asked confusedly.
” You know you are the last person remaining to present your gift to him”. Aurora said.
“Yeah, but he is busy”.
” Go over to him and give him, and I bet you, he will appreciate it”.
“I can’t, I am too nervous to go”. She said and Aurora sighed tiredly at her.
“You are so dramatic”.
” I will wait till he is free and alone”.
“He will never be alone, he is the celebrant”.
” I don’t care, I will still wait for him”. she said.
“Fine! Take your time”.
” Hey ladies”. Richard said from behind and they turned to him quickly.
“Hey, your birthday party is amazing”.”. Aurora said.
” Thank you”.
They were a silent moment between them and Aurora whispered into Nina’s ear.
“This is the right moment to present the gift to him, I will excuse you two”. she said.
” Is everything okay?”. Richard asked.
“Yes, everything is fine, let me make some calls”. Aurora said and walked away.
” So, did you enjoy the party?”.
“Yes, it was amazing”. She replied.
” That’s good to know, so is that for me?”. he asked seeing the present in her hand.
“Um, yes, I was planning on giving it to you sooner, but I couldn’t because you were busy”. She said, ” Here, happy birthday”. She gave it to him.
“Wow, thanks, this is the last gift I am receiving today”.
” Yeah, but is not that expensive or worth your style, but I hope you like it”.
“I love it”. They smile at each other.
” Thank you”. She blushed.
“Thanks for honoring my invitation”.
” It is always a pleasure Mr.Richard”.
“I would prefer you call me Richard”.
” Sure, Richard”. They smile at each other.
