PEARL WINSTON POV~
"happy birthday to you...., happy birthday to our dear Pearl.... happy birthday to you," I woke up listening to the birthday song and saw King's siblings and Bryson standing there with a cake in Natalie's hand
"Whose birthday is today?" I ask in a sleepy voice and was about to go back to sleep when Bryson's voice stops me.
"It's your birthday Pear, now move your a-s out of the bed we have a big day today," he said as I froze in my place.
It's my birthday
It's 21 February
My birthday oh god how I forgot I never forgot my birthday as I always make that special ice cream cake which dad taught me and share it with Stella
"Pearl get up we don't have all day," Xavier said playfully narrowing his eyes
"Yeah at least cut the cake so I can eat," Zach said looking at the cake
"Shut up Brother let her get up first," Natalie said "come out we are waiting for you," saying she left Xavier and Zach follow her.
"I don't give you that shop so you can work your a-s off there and forget about your birthday," Bryson said as I looked down "look Pearl I appreciate that you are working but I don't want you to work hard. I have appointed the staff to help you so let them do their work," saying that he left.
He is right after I took over the shop, I was working hard all the time baking trying new frozen dishes with different ice creams and so on and I totally forgot about my birthday also I didn't spend time with Bryson after our date.
From 7 AM To 9 PM, I work in the shop. Bryson visits me daily at the shop during lunch with Xavier and Zach, Liam visits me before going home as he daily buys different types of frozen desserts for Emma.
Now I feel bad for ignoring all of them, especially Bryson. Exactly a week ago we both had lots of fun and now they remember my birthday and I'm behaving like a stranger.
'I will apologize to Bryson' I thought and went downstairs after freshening up to see the whole living room was decorated with white and red balloons.
Floor, ceiling, and wall everywhere it was red and white balloons
"Wow, when did you guys do this?" I ask them holding the threads of balloons and looking up in awe.
"When you were sleeping," Bryson said glumly. My heart hurt seeing him talking to me glumly.
"Bry," Xavier gives him a hard look as he mutters a small 'sorry'
"Come on let's cut this cute cake," Zach said clapping his hands diverting my attention from Bryson. I nodded then cut the 'cute' cake

After breakfast which Taylor made for us, they all left for work. Bryson was about to go but I grabbed his hand and turned him so he could face me
"Sorry," I said making puppy eyes
"It will not work," he said turning around and I back hug him not wanting him to walk away
"Please sorry," I said again feeling guilty about the situation
"Go and change I want to talk to you, somewhere alone," he said removing my hands and walking upstairs.
After taking a shower and changing clothes and thinking about what he wanted to talk about I left my room and saw Bryson waiting for me.
"Let's go," he said. I nodded and followed him. I have a strange feeling as he always holds my hand whenever we go out but today he didn't hold my hand or ask me to walk beside him rather than behind
I follow him out as he takes the driving seat without opening the passenger door for me. It's hurt.
"Bryson please sorry, don't ignore me," I said sitting inside the car as he started driving
"Bryson, what happens? you were talking to me yesterday and everything was fine...... I know I'm not spending time with you and I'm sorry about it, I promise... I swear... I will spend lots of time with you ...-" I keep speaking trying to convince him but he wears a neutral face mask not showing any emotions on his face
After some time I give up and wait for the surprise destination where he wants to talk.
"I will kill you and burry your body here if you try to break up with me," I said glaring at him as he stopped the car in the middle of the forest
He chuckled as he walked out and start walking inside the forest.
I followed him inside the forest.
I was about to fall when he grabbed my hand saying "careful clumsy girl," and then he held my hands tightly.
I saw him a really big smile but he had a straight face.
And he starts walking again. After about 5 minutes I stop as my eyes widen and looking in front there was a
Treehouse, no!! no!! no!! beautiful cute treehouse, a stair went up to a round shape tree house lots of flowers wer-
"Close your mouth," Bryson's hard voice brings me back to the world
"Come I want to show you something," he said taking me towards the treehouse
"Read this," he said removing his hand and making me stand in front of the tree. My eyes water when I read what is written on the tree.
"Really?" I ask in a small voice without looking at him
"Hmm..."
"You still feel awkward while confessing your feelings?" I said pointing towards the tree. As a small smile formed on my face I turned to face him
"Yeah," he said scratching the back of his neck nervously
"If you want an answer, say what you have written here," I said trying to control my tears.
"I love you," he said as those words left his mouth. I press my lips to his.
Yeah on the tree it wrote 'I' then there was a heart shape then 'u' and in a heart shape, there were our initials P and B.
We pulled apart as he put his forehead on my shoulders breathing heavily
"I love you too," I said as he froze. After a minute he looked up.
"What you just say?" he asks
"I will not tell you," I said grinning at him
"Come on Pear one more time," he said childishly
"First you," I said
"Fine I will say it again only when you come up and see our treehouse," he said as we walked up.
He enters first then darker the room I didn't see anything then he opens the fairy tail lights there were pictures hanging around the whole house some are from our childhood and some are after I come back, hugging in the room, kissing in the office, roaming around the aquarium and lots more...
Then Bryson opened the windows and I saw the room clearly. There was a simple queen-size bed with a couch and a table.
Then he shows me a bathroom and cute balcony from where I can see the river too
I was looking at the river when he hugs me from behind, putting his chin on my head and rounding his hands around my neck.
"I love you. Since the day I lost you, I learned that I only didn't like you but loved you, and my love for you grew stronger... even when you were not around ...... I know I suck at confessing my feelings but trust me I love you only you. Happy birthday my love," he said kissing my forehead from behind.
I turn around and grab his face in my hands as tears flow down my eyes.
"I love you too since the day you stole my first kiss, I want to tell you that I don't like but love you but you were too stubborn to listen to me....... but when I left I learned that I lost my love and then you became my lost love, today I was so scared of thinking about you breaking up with me, but you proved me wrong by giving me the best birthday gift, this treehouse and most especially your confession..... I love you, Bryson I love you a lot," I said wiping his tears
Then I kiss him again holding his face as he wraps his arms around my waist pulling me closer. As we keep kissing my legs start to become weak as he deepened the kiss. I gasped as he lifted me. I wrap my legs around his waist and he takes the opportunity of entering his tongue inside my mouth. We kiss each other like no tomorrow
He walks inside still kissing me as he puts me on the bed. Everything becomes hotter and the temperature increases as he starts kissing my neck. I moan as he bites my soft sport and his hands start traveling around my body.
"Sto..p," I said as he put his hand inside my shirt
He stops "sorry I j..just lost control," he said pulling his hands out
"Hmm... It's fine," I said as he stood up and pulled out a box that was under the bed.
I sit up and straighten my hair as he gives me the box, and I open it and see all my old stuff which I left here in New York.
"You still have this," I said pulling out the Bear key chain he gifted me
"Yeah," he said with a cute smile as I looked at my old stuff looking at them and remembered our old memories.
"Who else knows about this house?" I ask putting the old stuff back in the box.
"This house is special to me, no one knows about this treehouse. You are the first person I bring as I always come here alone when I miss you a lot," he said looking into my eyes
"Thank you," I said hugging him "everything means a lot,"
"It's nothing I can cross all limits to make you happy," he said hugging me back.
As we lay there and listened to my old favorite songs.

"let's eat dinner," he said as we walked outside the treehouse it's already getting dark but he had already decorated the house and lightened up the trees around the treehouse.
"Wow! I can't believe you did it all alone," I said looking at the table which was set up

"Sorry I forgot to bring the cake," he said after we finished the dinner
"It's fine," I said looking at the watch "it's just 7:30 and we will reach my shop till 8:15," I said taking out my hand "now it's my time to take you on a date,"
"but we already ate dinner," he said
"it's a frozen desert date.. come fast,"

BRYSON KNIGHT POV ~
"I thought you were going to make frozen dessert for me," I said childishly as she made me wear an apron.
"No, Brysy we both will make my special birthday ice cream cake," she said grinning at me. Never in my life have I baked. I can cook, but that doesn't mean I can bake too.
After our day together in our cute treehouse, she decides to take me out on a frozen desert date. Now she wants me to help her with baking her ice cream cake.
"no Brysy not like this.. mix the batter so there will be no bubbles," she said taking the batter from me "see like this,"
I got a mischievous idea. I hug her from behind dipping my fingers in the batter, and apply it to her neck, and about to lick it but she stops me.
"Bryson you can't do that... " she said narrowing her eyes and dipping her whole hand in the batter making me run "wait, Bryson, I will teach you not to ruin my cake batter," she said jumping on me and applying all the batter to my face and starting laughing. I grab her hand pull her close and rub my face with her
"ew..w ....Bry...son sto..p," she said laughingly as I laughed with her
She slips and falls as I fall on top of her still laughing like crazy. She pushes me as we both lay on the floor trying to control our laughter.
"It was fun," I said sobering up
"yeah! but see what your fun has done," she said looking around the kitchen of her bakery
"let's clean it before making your special cake," I said standing up and giving her a hand. She takes my hand and makes me fall to the floor with a loud thud
She stands up "no you just sit here I will do it by myself," she said before starting to clean the kitchen. I stand up and pick her up in my arms and make her sit on the counter.
"I will do everything, just order around love," I said giving her a peck on her cheeks
"fine first take out the flour in this bowl..." she gives me all instructions on what to do as I make pineapple cake with butterscotch ice cream. Weird right? ".....now all done let it cool for 15 minutes," she said as I put the cake in the freezer.
"1 hour left before your birthday is over so ask whatever you want I will give it to you," I said putting both of my hands on her shoulder as she sits on the counter and I stand in front of her.
"you know whatever I want, my boyfriend will bring it, he didn't need special occasions to spoil me," she said grinning at me
"Well, that's true," I said kissing her nose. "but on a serious note what do you want?"
"hmm... I don't want anything now, I have everything I wish for," she said kissing my nose
"make a wish birthday girl," I said as I lit up the ice cream cake
"I wish no one could separate me from my love," she said blowing up the candles
"no one can because you stuck with me forever,"
