"i knock on the door, wearing a suit thats a little tight on my toned body"
Lori
Shocked, wildly curious, and confused by the man standing at my door, I slowly peek through the window as if a predator were trying to break-in. As adrenaline begins to pump through my veins, I take a deep breath before slowly unwinding the chain lock attached to the handle. My hands shake in fearful anticipation but curiosity overrides my fear - I cannot resist the mystery of the unexpected visitor. Calm implores me not to rashly expose myself, he whispers hush amorously. Ever so cautiously, I twist the knob until it finally releases. Slowly, I open the door; taking in every detail of who this man truly is. He stands at a height taller than mine, his body built with toned muscles that perhaps come

hey, im here for the birthday!
Lori
"My eyes widen, and my heart begins to beat faster out of pure shock. This visitor is here for me? I feel a rush of excitement and confusion all at once." "B-birthday?" I stutter, still in disbelief. As I realize this determined stranger has come to celebrate my birthday, my cheeks flush with a deep shade of red as I smile widely. "Y-yes! T-thank you so much, um... who are you?" I ask, hiccuping softly with nervousness. I move aside from the door, gesturing him to enter but still keeping a safe distance between us, unsure how to process the sudden guest that showed up.

im john "i hand her the card she had sent out" nice place
Lori
As I take the card from John's hand, my face lightens up with a mixture of joy and surprise. I can't believe that someone actually showed up for my birthday. "Th-thank you so much for coming, John. It really means a lot to me." I say, struggling to find words to express my overflowing emotions. With a shy smile, I lead John into my small living room. The place is filled with balloons, confetti, and party hats scattered all around the room. Despite Bobo being my only audience, his blank look says it all. Nevertheless, I continue to greet him while trying to mask my growing feel of excitement for someone else to spend my birthday with. "W-what do you think? Do you like it?" I ask, as I examine John from head to toe. Despite my tendency towards shyness,

this place looks great "i have a warm smile on my handsome face"
Lori
As John compliments my small living room, my heart begins to flutter with a sudden jolt of happiness. I can't believe someone has actually come to celebrate my birthday with me! "Thank you so much! I tried to make it as... lively as possible." I say, giggling softly at my own joke. I'm honestly overjoyed that he appreciates the effort I've put into making this space feel warm and inviting. As John gazes around the living room with his warm smile, I realize how handsome he looks up close. I've never seen anyone as attractive as him before. His toned body, and chiseled jawline make me blush even more. "Would you like some cake or something? I made these desserts myself! But... they might be a little stale by now." I say with an embarrassed laugh, gesturing towards

im sure they taste great, esspically if you made them
Lori
With a warm and genuine smile, I beam with pride as John compliments my homemade desserts. "Really? You think so? They might be a little stale by now..." I say, feeling a twinge of insecurity. Around the bedroom, various knick-knacks and party supplies are scattered about as I prepare to serve him some cake. My hands tremble slightly as I carefully extract a dried out piece of cake from behind the counter, hoping that it would still taste alright. "Here you go! I hope you like it!" I say enthusiastically, feeling upbeat despite my evident nervousness.

"i eat it, a bit of cake on my cheek" its great
Lori
John takes a curious bite of the dessert, his wonderful smile remaining on his handsome face. Seeing him grinning with a piece of cake on his cheek makes my heart swell with joy. For some reason, it warms me to see him enjoy something I've made, despite its less-than-optimal condition. Giggling softly at the sight, I elaborate my objective and reach out my hand, brushing against his cheek delicately. "Here, let me help you with that," I say sweetly, attempting to remove the crumbs from his face, my slightly trembling fingers mimicking a butterfly's touch. As I gently caress his cheek- muscles so defined and prominent under my delicate touch- my own heart skips a beat in response.

thank you "i say, my warm smile never leaving my handsome face"
Lori
My soft and imperceptible touch lingers on his cheek a moment longer before I withdraw my hand, the warmth of his skin still resonating in mine. My eyes meet his, witnessing the sincerity behind his shining gaze and warm, inviting smile. The intensity of joy in the dark wells of his azure eyes is captivating, and it feels as though he sees straight into my soul . Breathless, I respond shyly, mirroring the gentle warmth of his smile. "You're welcome," I mumble slightly, cast downwards from our eye contact, a sensational feeling of vulnerability and reciprocated affection washing over me. My heart beats vigorously in response to this intimate exchange, my entire being pulsating with emotion. For an instant, I imagine us interconnected by threads of

so, what do you want to do? your the birthday girl
Lori
The question catches me off guard, my heart suddenly leaping into a thousand pieces of anxiety. The room shrinks instantly, and the world spins around in a vortex that sucks away the very breath from my lungs. Do I know what I want to do when it's my special day? That unapologetic enormity weighing down on my chest makes it a hundred times harder to even hold back tears. "Can-can we just sit together for a while or something?" I ask sounding a little pathetic even to my own ears. "I dunno... maybe watch a movie or..." I trail off, sentence incomplete, breath stuttering as I contemplate the possibility of not having anyone show up to my first birthday out of the Orphanage. Despite CEO Jean's

Lori
I lean into his embrace, instantly feeling a little more grounded as the weight of solitude falls away. His arm around me is a comforting presence, and I immediately feel grateful for his company. My emotions swell in my chest like a powerful wave, leaving me slightly dazed. "Thank you," I whisper quietly, sniffling and wiping at my eyes. "It's just a little overwhelming, you know?" I admit, shifting my gaze to meet his again. "I appreciate you being here with me. It means a lot," I say with a soft sincerity, my tones carrying the weight of years of loneliness and isolation. But in this moment, I'm not alone anymore; his presence is a balm to that pain, a welcome refuge in a world that seems so vast and empty. Silent tears roll down my cheeks, but they're no longer tears of

Lori
As I follow him to the couch, every step towards warmth and comfort feels like a fragile dream come true. My heart pounds against my chest, exhilarating feelings of happiness flowing through me, making me feel minutes older than just eighteen.
We reach the couch, and I sit down gingerly feeling his arm around me. A gentle whisper of happiness escapes my lips as I cling to the only destination where I feel safe and cherished today. Movie or no movie, in this very moment, I'm more than happy to be sitting beside aku ˚.⋆.
