Tristan’s Pov

“Where's your parents?”

I gave her a smirk before closing the front door. “Dad was terribly missing his brother in Albania. Sadly they couldn't be here for your birthday.”

“That's unfortunate.” She sighed suppressing the smile threatening to appear to her face.

She knew exactly why they left. I begged them to give us the house for the evening and despite knowing we would do what teenagers do, they were kind enough to give us privacy for my girlfriend’s birthday surprise.

It wasn't technically her birthday as it was still six hours till midnight but her grandpa wasn't gonna allow her to come visit me so late now that we didn't live next door.

I scoop her in my arms and she giggled, hugging my neck. “You smell nice.”

“Wish I could say the same for you. Did you even take a shower today?” My joke earned me a hard smack on my shoulder.

“It's my birthday. You're supposed to make me special.”

I looked down at her in my arms. She looked so delicate, so adorable. The amount of trust she has in her eyes for me is always such a pleasant feeling.

“Do you not feel special in my arms?” I asked, taking her upstairs.

She narrows her eyes at me playfully. “Maybe I do…”

I set her down to her feet as we stood in front of my bedroom. “Your surprise is inside.”

Her eyes lit up and she nearly jumped in excitement. She held my hand to pull me in with her and pushed open the door. A gasp left her lips as she looked at the decorated room.

It was all lavender and gold themed. The flowers, spirals and a huge ‘happy birthday’ sign on the wall were all her favorite colors. Confetti was laid on the carpet as she walked to the table in the center. A single cupcake with a candle on top was placed there.

She was beaming in happiness and a proud smile played on my face when she hugged me. The way she melted on me, it was clear she fucking adored it. I knew she would. No one knows her better than me.

“This is so so so cute, Tristan. I love you.”

“I love you too, baby.” I pulled away and tugged her to the table. “Let's cut your cake.”

She didn't question the ugly ass cheap looking cupcake. She was happy to have gotten the surprise. She never cared for price when it came to me, she always loved me as I was.

I lit the candle. “Make a wish.”

She closed her eyes. My gaze instantly fell to her delicious lips as she mumbled a wish. She looked so pretty. Her sundresses were to die for and today she was wearing a beautiful sleeveless white one with a sweetheart neckline that ended around her calves.

She blew the candle and I sang her a little happy birthday song until it was time for me to take the bite she cut. I opened my mouth, only biting it half way then took the piece from her.

I pecked her lips making her giggle then finally fed her the disgusting cupcake. She chewed it and I saw a look of disgust cross her face.

She finally swallowed it then looked at me with an disturbed but amused look on her face. “I tried not going off the looks of it but I guess it doesn't even have a good personality.

I laughed and drew her closer wrapping my arms around her waist. “I made it.”

“Seriously?” She exclaimed. “Okay then I forgive you for feeding me that shit on my birthday.”

I chuckled before asking, “What did you wish for?”

Her mood soured as she looked away. “I have everything I want.”

I didn't want to ruin her mood on her birthday so I decided to drop the subject. “Okay let's go open your gifts instead-”

She held my forearm to stop me from pulling away. “I wished things would go back to normal…”

I knew what normal she wanted. For a long time even I believed she wanted to come back home. But she didn't want that. She wanted the new normal she had gotten used to living with the trio.

She missed them. I could see the longing in her eyes. I knew she wanted to talk to them but she was done trying. She didn't want to bend to their will anymore. She wanted to see if they actually love her enough to do what she wanted.

Every day I wish they'd realize it's the only way to get back with Athena. But it's already been twenty five days since their fight, twenty five days since I've seen a part of her disappear. They still haven't shown any interest in giving her what she asked for, what is her right.

“It will, amorcito. Everything will be fine. They haven't stopped trying and they won't.” I reassured, placing a kiss on her forehead.

She nodded then brought a smile on her face. “Go get me my gift now.”

“I have two actually.” I said and moved back to grab her gifts from the closet. I came back with two small boxes and gave her the better one first.

She always loved gifts, especially when it's by the people she loves. She excitedly tears through the wrapping and reaches the box in it. When she opened the box a huge smile appeared on her face looking at the little golden pendant with her initials on it in Greek.

“It's not pure gold, that was way out of my budget.” I mumbled as she took it out.

She looked up at me with the prettiest soft eyes. “I don't want you to get me that. This is what I want. This is so special to me, Tristan. Thank you.”

Her words just melt my heart and I find myself- Fucking tears. I hold them back. She's gonna tease me for a lifetime if I cry right now. But how do I stay poised when she is being so sweet?

“Put it on me.” She orders, handing me the chain and turns around holding up her hair.

I slid it on her neck and clasped the hook. When she turns around a proud smile plays on my face, she looks pretty wearing what I bought her.

“Next one!” I announced placing the second gift in her hand.

She teared through it with the same excitement but she stilled when she saw what it actually was.

A box of condoms laid flat on her palm as she looks up at me questioning its purpose.

Since we got into a relationship two months ago, we’ve tried a couple different things. We’ve pleasured each other with hands and mouths but we never went further.

I smirk at her. “I thought we might need it…”

“No way!” She gasped.

She must've assumed that there will be some orgasms today but I'm sure she didn't think I'm ready to take her tonight. I told her I wanted to wait till eighteen and she believed me. But I wasn't going to make her wait so long.

“Yes way, baby!” I chuckled, drawing her close by the waist.

“I'm gonna fuck you today?” She asked with a sparkle in her eyes.

I scowled, rolling my eyes. “I am going to fuck you today.” I corrected.

“Same thing. Either way you're the one getting screwed.” She chuckled.

I shook my head. I can't win against her. She always has the better comebacks. The only time I managed to get her was when she was miserably confused about our boundaries. She didn't know what to feel about the new intimacy between us. She let it all happen but her mind didn't agree to it. That was the only time I had her submit. The only time I saw the timid side of her.

I drew her lips to mine. She held my shoulders to keep me in place as she devoured my mouth. She was so bloody good at this.

It sometimes hurts me that she's developed this skill by being used by disgusting men. But I try not to think about them. I hope they all die a miserable death. I hope one by one she tells all of their names to the trio.

I then laid down beside her, not bothering to wear clothes. I suddenly felt too tired to do anything. I knew aftercare was necessary but I needed a few minutes to gather myself.

She turned to her side to look at me with a huge grin on her face. “Ah it feels so good taking the virginity of a good boy.”

I dramatically sighed. “I’m sure you feel good manipulating a boy four months younger than you just to get some dick.”

“I'm gonna kill you!” She slapped my chest pretty hard with a smile on her face. “I've branded you now, Tristan. You're all mine from this day.”

“I was always yours.”
