A DAY BEFORE THE BIRTHDAY…

MR WILLIAMS HOUSE

Annabel,Alexa,Stephanie and Lisa were in the living room talking about her birthday tomorrow.

“Annabel you’re really lucky. Adams is hosting a birthday party for you”Stephanie smiled

“I guess I am. But what makes me happy the most is that I get to celebrate it with the people I love”Annabel said

“Aww that’s so sweet”Alexa said

“You need a new hairdo Annie”Lisa touched her hair

“What’s wrong with this one?”Annabel asked

“Nothing. We just need to style your hair for your birthday celebration”Lisa replied

“She’s right Annie. You need to look dashing for your hubby”Stephanie winked

“That’s right”Alexa laughed

“You girls can be silly sometimes”Annabel said and they laughed

They heard a knock on the door

“Lisa go get the door please?”Annabel said

“Okay”She stood up and went to the door

When she opened it,Gideon entered

“Good afternoon Gideon”Lisa hugged him and he pecked her forehead while Annabel and the rest jeered playfully from inside

Lisa blushed

“Afternoon wifey”Gideon teased

“Awwwn”Stephanie and the rest chorused

“When are you two getting married?”Alexa teased

“How about tomorrow?”Gideon joined them in teasing her

Lisa’s eyes widened

“Tomorrow?”

“Yeah…he held her jaw up with his index finger…or don’t you wanna marry me?….He brushed his hands on her lips…Won’t you marry me?”He asked

Lisa pushed him away

“Did you just flirt with me?”She asked

“Looks like it”He laughs

“You…”She poked his forehead and the girls laughed

“Since you two are finally done playing lovey dovey with each other,close my door and come sit down”Annabel stood up with her hands on her waist

“Okay mum”Lisa said sarcastically and they laugh

She closed the door and offered Gideon a seat

After sitting down,Gideon gave Annabel the bag he brought

“What is this?”She asked sitting down

“Adams said I should give it to you. He would have brought it himself but was too busy so I volunteered to bring it”Gideon explained

“So that you could see the love of your life too”Alexa teased

“You’re right. When he should have allowed Richard to bring it”Stephanie hissed playfully

“Richard was busy too”Gideon tried defending himself

“That’s what they always say”Alexa rolled her eyes and everyone laughed

“Open the bag Annie”Lisa said

“Yeah cause I’m dying to see what hubby bought you”Stephanie smiled

“Me too”Alexa chimed in

Gideon stood up

“You ladies enjoy yourself. I have to leave now”

“So soon?”Lisa pouted

“I need to get an important document for my father”

“Okay then. See you later”Lisa hugged him and the rest bade him farewell before he left.

Annabel opened the bag and her eyes widened

“What’s inside?”Alexa asked and collected the bag

She brought out a beautiful red gown. It had silver embroidery embellished over the top which has a Bardot neckline. It was designed with long pageant prom type skirt in sparkling red shade with a side slit open.

“Oh my gosh it’s beautiful”Annabel exclaimed

“Wow I’m speechless just Wow”Lisa said

“Adams has really good taste. Where did he learn to shop for beautiful gowns like this?”Stephanie asked rhetorically

Alexa brought out silver high heels with a silver handbag and accessories

“Wow babe you gotta try them on”Alexa said

Annabel took them in and came back minutes later

They all stared at her

“Wow it’s really looks good on you”Stephanie turned her around

“This birthday is going to be hot”Lisa said and they nodded.

“I’ll go and see him later since he is busy now”Annabel went in and changed back to her jeans and top

“Where has dad been?”Lisa asked

“He went to his friend’s house. He told me he would be coming home late today”Annabel answered

“Okay then”

They watched movies,talked about boys before Alexa and Stephanie left.

LATER IN THE DAY…

ADAMS HOUSE

Emily brought out a red gown and showed it to Adams

“Bro Adams,since aunty Annabel is going to wear red tomorrow,I’m thinking of wearing red too”

“Really?”Adams watched her in amazement

“Yeah. I wanna look exactly like her. I’ll wear silver heels,accessories and handbag. I also made a silver star necklace for her”

Adams laughed

“Emily,your love for Annabel is unbelievable”

“I love her so much. She’s a good person with a good heart. She is also sociable”Emily plopped down on the couch Adams was sitting on and put her head on his laps.

“I bet you would like to hear the story of how they first met. It’s hilarious”Richard said walking down the stairs

“Yes I would love to hear it”She stood up and went to sit with Richard

“No one wants to hear it”Adams said but they ignored him

“Tell me please”

“Okay Emy dear. It all started one evening when Adams and I were coming back from the office…..”

40 minutes later…

“Adams liked her but refused to admit it. Later,Adams confessed his love to her but she refused to accept due to a threat by Charlotte”

“Who is this Charlotte?”Emily asked

How dare that Charlotte threaten her Annabel?

“Charlotte is Eben Mark Vegas daughter”

“Okay”She nodded

Richard continued his story and after he was done Emily laughed at Adams

“I can’t believe you stole her meat”

Adams glared at her but she ignored him

“Never take a woman’s meat”She warned

Richard laughed

They heard a knock on the door and Emily went to open it

“Annabel”She hugged her

“Hey my love how are you?”Annabel entered and shut the door

“I’m fine”Emily smiled

Adams stood up and pushed Emily away from her

“I’m her love not you”

He tried hugging Annabel but she pushed him away

“I won’t hug you till you apologize to my love”Annabel said

“What? I’m your love”

“No you’re not till you apologize for pushing Emily away”

Emily stood with folded hands and pouted lips waiting for Adams apology

“Apologize to her Adams”Richard chimed in

Adams looked at Annabel then at Emily

“Fine you win. I’m sorry Emily”He apologized

Emily smiled

“Can I get my hug now?”Adams asked like a baby who just got promised candy

Richard laughed

“Yes come get your hug”Annabel spread her hands

He smiled and hugged her

Annabel sat on the couch and Emily sat with her

“Hey Richard,how have you been?”Annabel asked

“I’ve been good and you”

“Same here”

Adams sat down beside her and took her hands

“So do you love your birthday gown?”He asked

“Yes I love it. It’s really beautiful”She smiled

“Emily was the one that suggested it”Adams said

“Awwwn that’s why I love you”She turned and hugged Emily

Emily brought out a silver star necklace and gave it to Annabel

“I want you to wear this tomorrow please”Emily smiled

Annabel admired it

“Wow it’s lovely. Thank you Emily”

“You’re welcome”

Richard just sat down watching them. He had his own surprise for Annabel tomorrow

Annabel spent some time there before leaving.

THE NEXT DAY…

BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

The amusement park was beautifully decorated and balloons were hungry round.

Ben dressed in suit and waited for the arrival of the birthday girl.

Liana and her men were already in position

Emily walked up to Ben looking as dashing and beautiful as ever

“Hello Mr MC”She greeted in sarcasm

Ben looked at her

“Just so you know,I don’t trust you. I have my eyes on you”She grinned and walked away

Ben ignored her

“She’s just a naive little girl”He muttered to himself

It was time for the party to begin and people were already seated.

Ben started his act as a MC and entertained the people present including Annabel’s father,Adams parents and her friends with other relatives.

Her cake was four layers high with her picture engraved on it

Ben called her forward and many were enchanted by her beauty. She took graceful and steady steps forward with Adams.

She walked to her cake and everyone wished her a happy birthday before cutting her cake and taking pictures.

“Now it’s time for a little birthday game. So we’re gonna play hide and seek. The celebrant will go and hide and I’ll choose someone to find her. Is it okay?”Ben asked and everyone agreed

He gestured for Annabel to go and hide while the rest closed their eyes

Adams was chosed to look for her and he found her

Later it was Emily’s turn and she found Annabel

Ben did it in a way no one would be suspicious

The last one came and he stylishly gave Liana a sign to get ready

“Okay. This is a tough one. Our celebrant is gonna hide in a place where it would be difficult to find her. Are we ready?”

“Yes”They chorused

He gave Annabel a sign and they closed their eyes while she went to hide

Alexa was picked to look for her

Annabel his beside a flower where it would even be easy to find her. She felt a sting on her arm and turned to see a pretty lady with short black hair and nice features

She looked at her arm and then at the lady. She wanted to scream but her voice was gone. She became weak and fell unconscious

Liana dragged her away and threw her in their Roy Royce specially given to them by Charlotte for the mission. They gave Ben a signal that their mission was successful

Alexa ran out and screamed

“Annabel is gone!!!”

Everyone stood up and ran to look for her but couldn’t find her

Ben used that opportunity to run away

They looked everywhere but couldn’t find her

Emily pointed at a moving car

“Look they’re taking her away”

Adams jumped into his car and chased after them but they got away

He called the police and reported the issue

It was like his world had gone blank. Everything happened so fast,he didn’t know how to handle it

AN OLD ABANDONED HOUSE IN THE WOODS

Annabel opened her eyes slowly but her vision was blurry. She tried moving but noticed she was tied to a chair. Her vision cleared immediately she heard a familiar voice

“Happy birthday Annabel”

“Charlotte”

“The one and only. Welcome to your birthday party”
