Hey guys . . .
So, remember that singing contest I was blabbing on and on and on about? I didnt win. But its cool . . . Anyway, I wanted to ask you guys to look me up on Wattpad. Jayjthebigmouth. Thats where I write the majority of my stories. Anyway, I think you'll like this chapter . . .
It was Dani's 14th birthday that week. Myles, Beckett, Juliet, Butler, and her parents were all there. She blew the candles out, and started to hand out pieces. Beckett looked up with a mischevious grin. His piece ended up splattered in Dani's hair. She gasped, and threw a piece back at him. It caught him square in the face. Then it evolved to a full-blown food fight, with Myles throwing cake at Beckett, Beckett throwing cake at him, Dani throwing cake at him, both of them throwing cake at her. In the end, they wasted over half the cake. Butler didn't get any, but he was perfectly fine with that. Once the cake was gone, the three of them jumped into the lake. This evolved into a huge splashing fight, but the adults could hardly complain, as now all three kids were completely cake free. Juliet would have jumped in with them, actually, but she knew she had to be ready at any second, in case something were to then laid themselves out in the sun to dry. They talked and laughed and chatted about anything and everything in the world. At one time, they laughed so loud, for so long, that the adults walked over to see what was so funny. Evidently, Beckett had brought up a funny memory. Something to do with a circus. The kids were laughing so hard they couldn't say anything more. Finally they calmed down. Dani looked over at Myles, smiling, and he wished he could freeze the moment forever. The setting sun was shining around her, coating her in golden light. She was smiling that smile of hers that was so rare these days. Her hair was wet and messy, but it suited her. Without thinking, without knowing what he was going to do until he did it, he leaned forward and kissed Dani. I wont describe it, because of the rating, but it was amazing and wonderful and simply magical.
Dani's mother handed her husband ten dollars and Butler five. Beckett handed Butler his ten later. And Juliet handed him a twenty. If you looked closely, it was just possible to make out the ghost of a smile on his taciturn features.
And that is why you don't bet against Butler! Anyway, what did you guys think? Okay, it was a little short. But I think the ending makes up for that!
