Bonus Chapter: Mads' 20th birthday.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Mads, Happy birthday to you!" The moment the crowd finished singing, Mads blew out all twenty rainbow candles on her colourful birthday cake.

"Thank you all for coming. This is one of my best birthday parties", the brunette giggled happily as she drunk her wine which Tomi brought along to Mac Donalds. "You look cute as ever. It is almost as you had never aged a day pass sixteen since we last met", said Jake. "Where is your new boyfriend tonight?"

"He has gone travelling elsewhere". Clearly looking disappointed at the absence of her boyfriend which was quickly replaced by a cutesy smile.

"What about Eagle?" Tomi asked. "Shouldn't you invite your housemate along?"

"He is unable to come around?"

"Why not? I thought you both have already grown close?" Bart mocked. "Oh wait, I know, he is probably too scared to see us after what we did to him in high school".

Clearly annoyed by Bart's comment, she shot back actually defending Eagle, "He is working hard today and he can't make it but we will be meeting up later after this party".

"He is clearly missing out fun time. We are going to the largest night club in Earthos. He should have come along that would have increased his confidence even more", Edward who had just joined the conversation interjected. "It was exactly the same scenario last year when Eagle was absent for your 19th party too and I am surprise you count him as a friend".

"Well, I treated him like he didn't exist on my 15th party and did not turn up on my 16th. Therefore, I can't blame Eagle if he does not want to turn up. We have not been the best to him during his high school years and I feel bad about it". The brunette finished her wine before leaving with her friends to get to the night clubs. Upon reaching the nightclub, having booked places in advance, Mads began dancing to the music which was playing loudly as soon as she step on the dance floor. Everybody else began head banging. A few other boys tried to get with Mads only to be chased off by Jake and gang.

The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

Most of the girls were able to dance to the music, some of the guys were attempting to dance but doing a poor job, and there was a couple bumping and grinding on the dance floor.

Time passed and everybody got drunked. Tomi and Mads excused themselves and home together by taxi. The blonde who was already intoxicated and more so than brunette was feel down asleep in her friends room as soon as she followed the latter into Sarah's house.

Mad's went out to get water to drink only to see Eagle sleeping in the living room at the back of the house with a giant pink teddy bear. Giggling while watching him snore, she got herself a cup of water before drinking half of it and splashing the rest on the half Asian young man waking him up. "What are you doing with this pink teddy bear?"

"Oh hi Mads..............."Eagle said sleepily, I bought it for you. Happy 20th birthday". Eagle looked into her ocean blue eyes as she looked back into his green ones.

"I bought it for your birthday?

"Thank you, Eagle". Mads gave him a hug before lying down on his lap while cuddling the giant teddy bear. "I love you Mr Snuggles!"

"You must be thinking of me the whole day weren't you? Why didn't you come to my party you bad boy!" Still lying on Eagle's lap, she jabbed his chest with her left index finger.

"I am sorry. I was busy".

"You have not been playing hide and seek, have you?"

"What?!"

"Calm down, I was just messing with you! Do you love me?" Flirting with Eagle, while looking at him with these cute ocean blue puppy dog eyes. Mads was still lying on his lap.

"I...................."

"I already have a boyfriend but I love you. Since, Tomi is asleep in my room and too drunk to join us. I will spend the night with you in the living room". She giggled before falling asleep on his lap.
