His Village Girl (BWWM)

Chapter 23: Happy Birthday Isabelle

Before Anahi could question Dante about the kiss, the lights went off.

And a video was playing, displaying all of Isabelle's pictures.

Then Dante's voice came on:

"Hello? Is this thing on? It is? Trim this audio when you're done."

Isabelle groaned.

"Isabelle SalemaNublas, my precious angel, you have no idea just how long you've been... pissing me off. Not saying that I wanted a little brother though. When I was little, I begged Mom and Dad for a sister. Because, I wanted to protect her when I grow up. I wanted an excuse to beat up any boy that made you cry."

Cielo put her hand to her heart and Anahi looked at Dante, who was blushing. She smiled at him, knowing how much torture it probably is for him to have his voice replayed in front of everyone.

"Then you came into this world. I was so happy, except for the parts when you'd wake up in the middle of the nights crying."

Isabelle blushed.

"But then you grew up and so damn fast. I had so many things I wanted to tell you. Like who to date and never changing for anyone. But I'm proud of the person you've grown to become. Never mind the mistakes you've made along the way, they made you into the person you are. My annoying little sister... gosh do I have anything left to say?"

Isabelle laughed and Dante scratched the back of his neck and blocked his face.

"What's wrong?" asked Anahi.

"Wait for it." said Dante, groaning.

The audio continued and Dante was singing.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Isabelle, happy birthday to you."

The video ended and everyone clapped.

Anahi couldn't help but smile at him, he was still hiding his face with his hands.

"Is it over?" he asked.

She laughed.

"Yes."

He moved his hand from his face quickly and walked away.

"William, bring the cake out!" he yelled.

Anahi smiled.

He was such a good brother to Isabelle, it made her feel happy that at least there were people in the world that respected family ties.

Unlike her own...

She shook her head, refusing to feel sad.

The cake came out and everyone gathered around Isabelle and sang the Happy Birthday song.

"Cut the cake!" yelled someone.

"Let a boy cut it with her!"

"No." said Isabelle.

Everyone looked at her.

"I will cut it with my brother."

Holding Dante's hand, she picked up the knife and cut into the red velvet cake.

Everyone clapped as Isabelle picked up a piece of the cake and stuffed it in his mouth.

Laughing, Dante picked a piece up and fed her a piece of cake.

Then, they walked towards Cielo and shoved a piece in her mouth.

Anahi stood there, happy that the trio were so close with each other.
