They say it's your birthday... Well it's my birthday too!
Yay! How exciting today is my b-day and I've had a wonderful 24hrs! At midnight I had my first celebration with my friend Steven. Followed from b-day calls from Tlo, Thomas and Vlo.
I woke up to my mommy's gifts (cash baby!) and when I got to school the girls surprised me in homeroom with a bunch of balloons and a birthday tiara. I felt like a giant attention magnet walking around with my balloons, which was cool. Then at lunch time Brito was super sweet and bought me a birthday cake but we didn’t get to celebrate because my sister was waiting for me outside (so tomorrow, party in activities!).
In the afternoon I went to the Gables with my sister and shopped around for wedding stuff. The funny part was that I was all upset about having to go to work at 5. I was like damn my stupid boss forgot and ironically that was one of the best parts!
When I got to work, Veronica and Javier surprised me with this cute little cupcake that had a candle and balloons, and everyone sang me happy birthday. But just as I began to settle into the usual monotone Monday night at Foot Locker, this really cute guy walks in looking for shoe laces. As I start flirting with him some girl walks up to him and I was thinking fuck, had to have a gf....BUT then another guy walks up to them and to my relief was the girls boyfriend. So blah blah, he couldn’t find the shoe laces he wanted, so he said thanks and walked out. Hm oh well, probably had a gf.
Ten minutes later he walks back in with his friends waiting outside and says he’s going to take the shoe laces that we had anyway. So I ring him up taking my sweet time, thinking come on baby make a move, come on...and nada... Once again he says thank you and walks out. Figured he for sure had a girlfriend.
Five minutes later, he walks back in, alone, friends no where in sight. Walks up to me and says.. "Hey I have a question about this return policy? Exactly how does it work?"... In my head I was like "wtf?! Cheap ass loser, they were a dollar!"... But of course I just smiled and said he had 30 days with his receipt. To my surprise he starts laughing and says "I'm playing, I just needed a reason to come back. I think you're really cute and I wanted to ask you for your number...”... OH YEAH BABY! So I smiled again and said "sure anything goes today, it’s my birthday", I grabbed a piece of paper and a pen and jotted down my cell number and gave it to him. He said "cool, ill give u call later on tonight" and walked out. So now I'm like ah w.e. he isn’t going to call, he looks much older and now he knows I’m just 18. HA!
Twenty minutes later I look at the store front, and he’s standing there, holding an ice cream cone in one hand and a little box in the other. Walks up to me and says "Here, don’t think I’m crazy, but since its you're birthday I thought u deserved a little something." Inside the little white box was a chocolate fudge brownie. So I thanked him for the sweet gesture and he walked away...
Thirty mins later Mayra, Vane, Paul and Gio all surprised me again with cake and penis shaped balloons! So we had a birthday party at foot locker too.
Whatever so after everyone left I was talking to my boss, Javier, who had witness the whole event with the guy( his name is Kurt btw) and he’s like "don’t play too much attention, he'll prolly take a week to call" and I’m thinking the same thing.
After work, I’m driving towards Olive Garden to meet up with Vane, Paul and Gio.. and my phone starts ringing... guess who? Yup it was Kurt. So I spoke with him for about 10 mins cuz I had to go inside. Here’s the 411: he's 21, goes to FIU, engineering major, single, not into the druggie/drinking scene and he’s spending this week in LA with his parents. Since he'll be gone for the week he wished me a great birthday and said he'd call me when he got back so we can chill. Sounds good to me!
Dinner was a blast, thank you Paul, Vane & Gio you guys are great! I hope every birthday is just like this one!
Glad to be 18teen,
Ailyn!
