Tiana''s head turned to him and her eyes widened,


    Package all what?


    Was he being serious right now, Nicus wasn''t even looking at her, he watched them put all the shoes into arge bag and he took out his credit card and gave it to one of the attendants.


    ''''Thank you for your purchase sir, have a nice day. '''' The attendant greeted as put the bag of shoes in the trunk of the car. Tiana didn''t speak until the attendant had gone, then Nicus turned to her with a grin,


    ''''Why are you ring, beautiful? '''' Nicus asked, leaning closer to her face.Tiana didn''t move she just continued watching him, then suddenly she raised her hand and pinched his cheek. Nicus drew backwards immediately and burst intoughter;


    ''''Ha ha beautiful; such strength! '''' Heughed as Tiana red at him, not even speaking. She opened the car door and sat in, feigning annoyance, when in reality, she was happy.


    ''''You know, you''re so cute when you''re angry; I need to take a picture of your face right now.''''


    Nicus spoke as he sat down in the car, dipping his hand into his pocket, he took out his phone;''''


    ''''don''t you even dare! '''' Tiana''s frown turned into a light chuckle as she tried to take the phone from him, when she couldn''t get the phone, she slumped back on her seat.


    ''''Thanks. For the shoes. '''' She said, staring at her hands.


    Nicus watched her for a second, a sweet smile stretching his lips, then as though he thought of something, he leaned closer to her, and in the next second, he took a picture of both of them, and it was at the same time Tiana looked up, making their eyes look towards the camera.


    ''''Yah! '''' Tiana yelled when she realized what Nicus had done.


    Nicus grinned as he stared at the picture; ''''So beautiful. '''' Hemented as he gazed at the picture, piquing Tiana''s interest.


    ''''Let me see. '''' Tiana leaned closer to see the picture, but Nicus smirked, raising his hand up;


    ''''No. '''' Heughed at her expression, and then put his phone into his pocket, starting the ignition.


    …


    ''''Happy birthday grandpa! ''''


    The family eximed as Diana held grandpa''s hand as they walked into the parlor. There was a visible smile on his face as heughed heartily.


    This was his best birthday celebration because all the members of his family were home. His eyes scanned through the faces, and his joy knew no bounds.


    ''''Wow, when did this ce get decorated, I''m sure I didn''t see thisst night? ''''


    Grandpa asked; when he realized the changes in the interior design of the house.


    ''''It was a surprise. '''' Diana said, a smile on her face. It was his seventieth birthday; each year they get to see him smile brightly was a blessing to them. Grandma was sixty six, but she didn''t even look that, given the kind of treatment her body underwent. She looked more like a forty five year old woman.


    ''''Happy birthday darling '''' Grandma walked to him with a beautiful, kissing him on the lips, and hugging him closely,


    ''''Awnn '''' Diana eximed by the side, and the othersughed;

    He said, walking to a couch and sitting down.


    ''''Grandpa, happy birthday '''' Michelle and Dous presented their gifts, the package was veryrge, Tiana wondered what was inside. The next was Elizabeth and Charles her husband, and then the children.


    ''''Happy birthday Grandpa '''' Tiana smiled as she leaned, giving him a warm hug. She took the gifts they had bought earlier and gave it to him.


    ''''Thank you, thank you all of you, I''m so touched; I don''t think I''ll die anytime soon. '''' He eximed with a wonderful smile and everyoneughed;


    ''''I''m so happy I have such a wonderful family, Diana, carry all these to my room; I want to open them when I''m alone, for my eyes only. ''''


    He spoke and everyone burst outughing.


    After breakfast that morning, everyone went to their rooms to prepare for the party.


    ''''Is Alexing? '''' Diana asked Mia as she looked at herself in the mirror, she sighed when she heard her question,


    ''''Yeah, I don''t even know how to tell him not to, I''m so scared that Nicus will see us both together. ''''


    Diana chuckled mockingly at her reply;


    ''''What do you mean? He wouldn''t even notice you. '''' Mia''s face paled when she heard her reply; she turned to her with a ferocious re;


    ''''Why don''t you ever say something nice? ''''


    She asked angrily; and Dianaughed. ''''Because I''m realistic maybe?''''


    Mia rolled her eyes; ''''that woman looks nice though, I would have liked her if she wasn''t seeing Nicus, too bad. ''''


    ''''Tiana? ''''


    Diana asked as she applied her touched her makeup on the vanity.


    ''''yeah, she''s pretty, but I hate her. ''''


    Mia thinned her lips and then pouted them as she spoke; checking whether there were any lines on them, she felt satisfied when she saw none. She was wearing a limited edition Beyoncé''s secret red lipstick; she would be disappointed if there were any lines.


    ''''Oh God, can we just enjoy today without being hateful, it''s grandpa''s birthday for crying out loud!''''


    Diana eximed her eyes widening, standing up from the couch, she walked towards Mia by the mirror.


    ''''If you don''t want Alex again, you can put in a word for me, I like him. ''''


    She whispered in her ear. She was only joking but she wanted to see Mia''s reaction. Mia turned to her with a ferocious re;


    ''''You! Don''t even think about it! ''''


    She scolded angrily and Diana burst outughing;


    '''' You see yourself, you don''t want him to be with another woman and yet you have eyes for another man, you are very silly!''''


    Mia rolled her eyes at her;


    ''''Whatever, I like Alex too, so I won''t let you have him. ''''


    ''''Tsk, you''re so selfish! I''m going downstairs. ''''
