The Writer's Romance 81 Clark's Birthday 2

Sheen stared at Blue and Kady, "Who hasn't talked to Clark? Once we turn the call on, he'll be able to track us."

Blue slowly raises his hand, "Me, but I'll kind of make it sound lower, okay?" Blue takes the phone and clears his throat.

"h.e.l.lo?" He practices in a low tone, "Is that fine?" He asks them.

Everyone tries to suppress their laughter while nodding.

"Oh, yeah, we have this party popper and horn. We should also close the lights while waiting for added excitement," Cha suggested.

Kady nods and takes the popper while Elgeen took the horns and gave the other to Wyn.

"Okay," Blue blows air when he saw that everyone's ready and swiped right to answer.

They are all in the living room with the lights turned off and the curtains are closed to be sure that no light will come in.

"Well, well, well..." Blue said in a very villain's voice. "If it isn't the great Mr. White, are you that worried that you have to call us?"

Sheen's heart is pounding so hard while the others just cover their mouth to avoid laughing.

"Where's Sheen?" Clark asks.

His tone was very sharp and cold that Blue wasn't able to answer immediately.

"Why is it so quiet?" Clark added.

Blue gestures that Sheen should already act.

Sheen looks at him nervously, 'Okay' she whispers, "You don't have to ask Mr. White for money. He won't care about me anyway." Sheen snorted.

Everyone looks at her shock, they thought she'll do the regular scream for help but guess they are wrong.

"I already told you, he won't give you what you want so just shut up and let me go. I'm no use," Sheen said in an irritated and a so done voice.

Blue's faces ask her to what to say, Elgeen showed him a typed message of a script and Blue nods.

"I don't believe you, lady. You're engaged to him, aren't you? Why won't he care about you? Don't try to make a fool of me."

Bea with Sheen's parents and Dan sneaks out of Clark's office where they are tracing where Sheen is and immediately went out of the building to arrive at the condo before Clark to make a bigger surprise.

As they call a cab outside the building, Dan saw Cj walking towards them.

"Why are you here?" Dan asks Cj who's with a teacher.

"Mommy texted me but she didn't call. I was worried," Cj's puffy eyes look at Dan, "The teacher won't let me go so he came with me."

The teacher sighs, "Then, be sure to be back before the end of the lunch break, okay?"

Dan thanked the teacher and told Cj what is happening.

Cj jumps in excitement, "Then we should go there before Dad!"

They all went inside the cab and hurriedly arrived.

Exactly before Clark enters the condominium, Bea and the others already went inside the elevator.

"What?" Elgeen asks Blue.

"He cut the call off," Blue answers and they all sighed.

Kady's standing beside the light switch, Wyn and Elgeen are standing near the door to surprise Clark while entering the room in a very bold manner.

Cha is sitting beside Blue with Elgeen with the party popper.

While Sheen is standing frozen with the guitar in her arms.

While everyone is standing silent, waiting for Clark, a knock suddenly made them almost pee themselves.

"It's Bea, hurry up!"

Blue ran towards the door and opened it quickly.

"Go there," Blue pointed at Cha and they all ran towards her.

They giggle in excitement while Sheen just smiles through her shaking body.

A few moments later, they heard heavy footsteps which stop in front of the door.

Blue covered Cj's mouth because he can't stop laughing.

"It's quiet," they heard a voice said.

"Open it, now!" Clark screamed.

A man, who is under Clark's secret group, was shocked to see that the door is not locked.

"Sir, it's dark," he said.

Clark looks at him sharply and steps forward to see.

With the darkroom, Clark can't see if Sheen's in there or if anyone's inside.

He put his hands in his back, asking for a weapon from his men just in case.

But after a few seconds, he heard whispers he can't decipher and the lights turned on and the party horn and popper sounded, surprising him.

His men suddenly ran away, hiding to avoid anyone seeing them.

He first saw Cj whose laughter can't be controlled while holding his phone while taking a video.

But Blue covered his mouth again as soon as Sheen started playing her guitar.

Clark looks at her, in shock.

Sheen, who's trying her best to smile and hide her nervousness looks directly at Clark with all her strength.

She can feel her knees going weak as her hands are almost impossible to control.

"Hey, look my way

Baby, how can you see through the mess in me?

Hey, can't you tell?

Baby, I'm deeply madly crazy and obviously, I already fell

For your eyes,

For your lips,

For your hair that I always miss

For your laugh,

For your smile,

For the words that help me go by

Hey, promise me..."

Sheen's trembling hands and weak knees vanished from her mind as she ends her song.

Clark, who's still confused, can't help but smile while watching Sheen sing nervously in front of him.

"That you'll never get tired of this...

Hey, I love you.

For always and forever until the end."

Sheen smiled at the end and turned around to wipe her tears.

Clark just stands frozen as his smiles became laughter.

He needs an explanation for everything, but just seeing her smile and wearing the ring, it's already enough to suffice for today.

Sheen's mother started clapping and everyone did the same.

Cj gave the phone that's taking the video to Elgeen and then ran to his dad and pulls him to go to Sheen.

Clark slowly takes his step towards Sheen who felt that her love is going to her, gulps.

'I haven't greeted him happy birthday yet,' Sheen thought.

She takes a deep breath and turned around, shouting, "Happy birthday!"

But Clark's already too close to her, her action made her trip on Clark's feet, making her fall in his chest.

Clark's eyes went huge with Sheen's voice, but his body acted fast and caught her.

Everyone started laughing.

But Kady and Blue look at each other and stared at Wyn who's watching Sheen and Clark with a blank face.

Elgeen walks closer to Clark and Sheen to catch in the video whatever they will tell each other.

"Thank you," Clark whispers and hugs Sheen tightly, "I thought no one will greet me aside from Mr. Rogers."

Sheen suddenly felt the urge to cry with what Clark said.

It pains her to hear those words when in fact, she almost forgot about it as well.

"I'm so sorry. Sorry," Sheen cried as she buries her face in Clark's chest, "I'm sorry for getting angry. I'm sorry for telling those words. It was just a prank. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."

Elgeen cut the video off and just listened to Sheen's cries as Clark just smiles while patting her back.

"Come on, stop crying. Tell me about what happened earlier later. It's my birthday. The first time that I'll be having a party with people outside my company," Clark pulls Sheen away to wipe her tears away.

His sweet smile makes Sheen cry even harder.

She's overflowing with guilt from their misunderstanding and with her longing for Clark.

Cj ran to the two and hugged them, "Ah, my Mommy and Daddy are good now! I'm so happy!"

Sheen pats Cj's head and tip-toed to kiss Clark, catching him off guard.

"Happy birthday, Clark," she whispered.

Clark smiles and leans down, "Thank you, Sheen," and kisses her back.

They both missed calling each other's name.

It's as if the day they weren't together felt like forever.

Everyone cheered with the two making up, Sheen's Dad smiled and said: "Then, let's eat! I became hungry with all the acting!"

They began digging in and took tons of pictures.

"... So, that's why Sheen said those words. None of it was true, okay, Boss?" Bea explained the prank to Clark as they all eat together.

"What about the kidnapping?" Clark asks.

Sheen's sitting beside him while Cj happily eats his food without a care about what happened since he has to get back to cla.s.s after lunch.

"Wyn and I thought that we should spice things up, so..." Bea looks at Wyn, winking at him.

"Well, yeah... also, I want to apologize about what happened before. You're right, I should know the boundaries between a friend who's single and a friend who's engaged," Wyn bows his head, "Sorry, Clark."

"You're not getting angry when I stay with Wyn at night," Bea whispered to Dan.

"You're with him during night time?" Dan looks at Bea shocked and kind of angry. "You didn't tell me he's with you. Are you stupid?"

Bea rolled her eyes, 'Well, then it settles that Clark acted normally.' She thought.

"Hey, tell me, what happened that night?" Dan asks Bea.

Clark takes a deep breath, "I apologize for my action that time, Mr. Le-- Gerwyn. I acted without thinking. I am sorry," Clark replied.

Sheen just smiles while listening to the two, but the thought of them being half brothers suddenly made her feel uneasy.

'What if it will cause another conflict?' Sheen thought as her smile disappears.

Clark saw her and thought that she got tired from the prank, he put his arms around her neck and pulls her to kiss her forehead, surprising Sheen.

'Well... everything will end up well as always,' Sheen thought as she closes her eyes to feel Clark's sweet kiss.
