It was my birthday two weeks ago.
Andd, my 20th birthday might be the sweetest birthday I ever had.
I don't remember if I ever write about him in here but we're kinda close. I don't know how close but we always have one day in a week for us to hang out.
That day, on April 6th, he asked me that he craved for something sweet (we both are sweet-tooth) and he'd like to have some cake. We went to a cake shop I know and it's called "First Love Patisserie" (they only sell mille crepe, it says patisserie but they hardly sell one, lol. But it's really good though). I used to really like this cake shop, they used to have earl grey flavor (yes I love earl grey) but people here are not that familiar with earl grey so maybe it didn't sell out good so they stop the production.
I was already full with Wendy's we had before so I didn't buy one. (he told me later that this ruined his plan, lol). He insisted me to buy one but I was sooo full I couldn't eat a dessert I love. So he asked me to pick my favourite flavor (again, this ruined his plan because I chose Earl Grey, lol). Out of desperation (?), he finally got his Original Mille Crepe. While waiting for the cake to be served, we talk and talk and so suddenly, when the waitress came up
THERE WAS A CANDLE ON HIS CAKE.
"Happy birthday" he said
And I was there speechless for five minutes.
Okay, maybe three?
Listen,
First, I AM DENSED. LIKE FRICKIN DENSED. No. I didn't think of anything when he asked me out or hinting me with cakes or whatever he did that day.
Second, because I'm densed, I don't know what kind of people he is, I mean his true nature (?) (or maybe because I don't care about my birthday) I was like "he is like that anyway"
It really caught me off guard.
"Hey, don't just look at it. Blow the candle"
I came back to my senses and blew the candle.
I forgot to ask for a wish.
"You ruined my plan you know. It was supposed to be like, you choose your favourite cake and without your knowing put a candle on it. But, they don't sell your favourite flavor anymore and you're full. Sorry"
HOW CAN HE SAID HIS PLAN WAS RUINED?
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHEN DID HE ASK THE WAITRESS TO PUT THE CANDLE ON THE CAKE????????
"When did you tell the waitress??!"
"Hm? I don't know. Yesterday?"
"?????????????"
"Whatever. Just eat the cake. Take responsibility on your food"
Hm. How can I describe this..
I don't expect anything. I don't really like surprises that attract people attention. I like something simple. I don't like crowds, the shop wasn't crowded. It actually only have four people (including us) in that shop. I love spending time with people I like.
That moment felt simple. Sorry I'm not good describing it but,
Two people with a slice of cake with a candle on it enjoying a day in a small shop. No crowds. A small surprise in a quiet place.
It was the sweetest thing I ever had so far.
I don't know how should I thank him.
"You're no fun"
"What? Why?"
"Your reaction is no fun"
"???? What? You want me like 'OMG??' and exaggerate things like that?"
".. well, no. I mean.. you really didn't expect all of this?"
"Of course not??"
".. hm"
"what?"
"You're no fun"
