Italics are flashbacks.
"Mom" I cried out.
"MOM" I turned around with my eyes filled with tears as I pointed the ice cream I had just drop because stupid Aiden had just managed to scare me when he jump screaming in front of me. MY mom is too caught up chasing Glen around to even acknowledge my existence,and glen is by the way once again pulling the pony tails of the little girls in the park.
"Why awe you crying?"
I look up from my chocolate ice cream in the ground to a girl with curly hair split in two pony tails and chocolate eyes, and she keeps watching me with a sad expression. I just point my finger to where the ice cream is melting.
"OH!" the two pony tail girl said as I just keep with my frenzy crying and Aiden keeps laughing his ass off.
"Oh no, don't cwy!! Hewe have a cookie" the strange girl held her hand with a huge chocolate chip and I sniffle a couple times before can finally mumble some words.
"My mommy says not to accept things fwom stwangers"
Now the strange girl Is giving me a look of confusion and I keep sniffling for my chocolate ice cream.
"My mommy doesn't say that" Aiden says while eyeing the cookie the girl still has in her hand. She just gives him a quick glance and opens her mouth.
"Who awe you?"
"I'm Aiden. And I accept things fwom stwangers cause my mommy never tells me not to, like Spwencer's mommy says" the stranger with a still confused look just gives him a simple "oh!" before turning back to me.
"So you awe Spwencer?"
Sniffle "yes" sniffle.
"Well, Spwencer. My name's not stwanger… my name's Ashy"
Sniffle "hel… hello, Ashy" sniffle.
The strange girl… no, wait. Ashy, keeps staring at me with an amused look.
"Take the cookie, I'm no stwanger… I'm Ashy" she keeps pushing me to grab the deliciously good looking cookie. I hesitate before reaching out for the huge cookie that her hand holds and when I finally have it in both of my hands I can't stop to wonder how she managed to hold it in just one, cause is too big for just doing that.
"Thank you Ashy" I say between fading sobs.
"Hey…. I want me a cookie too" Aiden starts to complain and Ashy just looks at him a little annoyed.
"Mmm…. I dun no" that's enough to bring him sad.
"Why?"
"You wewe laughing at Spwencer when I got hewe…and that's mean, and I don't like mean people" and that's enough to make my lips curve up in an immense smile. Ha ha, he totally deserves it.
"I don't do it again, I promise" he looks at her with his best puppy eyes. No one can resist his big green eyes… but I hope she does, because he made me feel very bad for my now completely melt ice cream.
"Ok" awww…that's not fair, I knew no one could resist his puppy eyes. "But just because you promised" I know that's no truth, she's just giving him a cookie because she liked his eyes, everyone always say he has the most amazing eyes they've ever seen. I feel my lips going down and pressing into a thin line, completely losing my smile.
After giving him a cookie smaller than mine, she turned around to face me once again.
"I like your eyes Spenchy, they awe blue" she points out staring at my eyes. That gets the smile coming immediately back to my face.
"I'm no Spenchy, I'm Spwencer" I tell her trying to sound older, as if I didn't have only five years.
"I know, but Spenchy is more easy to say than Spwen-whatever your name is" now, that's how I wanted to sound.
"Earth down to Spencer"
I shake my head as if that could get me out of the memories of our first day together. Tuning my mind to the present and changing my floor view to Aiden view who is snapping his finger in front of my face.
"Oh! Sorry" I say while I turn my head to see my family and some friends chatting around. I look to all the blooms and party stuff decorating my house, I look down to the table where the cake is resting with a 1 and a 7 on it, next to it are the presents they had all bought for me.
I averted my eyes to where the door is now opening and she comes in. bringing me the best gift I can ever dream of… her presence.
She immediately spots me sitting next to Aiden in the big sofa and she starts to walk over at us. She stops in front of me and hands the present she had with herself to Aiden and gestures me to stand up, which I do without a second thought and she embraces me, with one arm around my waist and her other hand cupping my right cheek. She gently puts a warm kiss in my other cheek and I instantly get goose bumps all over my body. She leans in a little closer and whispers a sweet and tender "happy birthday" right into my ear, making me feel the same butterflies that I've been feeling a little more than a year now.
She is all I need to be happy. If you want to give me the perfect present than just bring Ashley with a ribbon upon her head…In fact you don't even have to bother in putting her one, as long as you bring her is good enough for me.
