“Are you tired”. Megan asked grinning.
Both were already sitted back on the mat.
Axton looks at with a cold face.
“Did you have to chase me around with a cake”.
“I just wanted to make you laugh, but too bad you didn’t”.
“Are you giving up now”. Axton asked.
“Of course not, giving up isn’t my thing, am going to continue trying my best to make you smile, this grumpy and stony face must smile”. Megan said playing with his face laughing.
“Get your hands off my face, I mean it this time”. Axton said tightening his face.
Megan sighs and removes her hand from his face.
“If I find the Man who made you this way, am going to kill him”.
“Too bad, I don’t even know what he looks like”. Axton muttered.
“Really you don’t”.
Axton nods.
“He was all covered on the day he killed my family, the only thing I saw was a tattoo in his arm, clearly written Black wolves”.
“Black wolves, that might be a name of a mob right”.
And Axton nods.
And when she sees how Axton face was becoming more stony, she screams shocking the hell out of Axton.
“Are you a sociopath, why do you scream all of a sudden”.
Megan looks at him and giggles.
“Let’s forget about the past, today is your birthday so you shouldn’t be reminded about what’s going to make you sad on your birthday”. Megan said.
She pours some drinks in two glass cups and gave one of the glass to Axton.
“I’ll pass…and don’t think about drinking coz, I won’t carry you when you get wasted”.
“I know you won’t…no need to worry, coz this drink has no alcohol in it, come-on Axton, is your birthday, we should be celebrating, so take the glass and let’s make a Cheers”. Megan said.
Axton only looks at her.
“Take it, or am going to smack your head for sure”. Megan said.
“Did I make a mistake, sparing your life”.
“No you didn’t, coz if you did, I won’t have been here trying to make you smile, so let’s just drink ok”.
Axton sighs taking the glass from her.
“Cheers Axton”. Megan said trying to hit glasses with him, but Axton gulps down the entire content in the glass, before she could do so.
“Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk, your really an iceberg”. Megan said and looks at the sky.
And then a shooting star pass by the sky.
“Oh my, is a shooting star, you must be the deity’s favourite, a shooting star appear on your birthday”. Megan said smiling.
“What with the use of it anyways”.
“Really, you don’t know the saying that if you make a wish under a shooting star, that wish is going to come true, there’s another one coming, let’s make a wish”. Megan said.
She joined her hands together, closing her eyes as she made her wish.
Axton looks at her and shakes his head.
Megan opens her eyes and smiles.
“What did you wish for”. She asked Axton.
“You really think I believe in those stupid sayings, I don’t”.
“That’s because your an unbeliever”.
“What did you wish for”. Axton asked.
“Hmmm, for me to succeed in making you smile”.
“Really, that’s what you wished for”.
“Yes, why”.
“Since you said making a wish under the shooting star always come true, you’d have wish for something like money, since you landed here, just because you try to steal”.
“Well, that’ll have been my wish, but it change”.
“Why”.
“Coz, I wasn’t jocking when I said I was going to make you smile again, is my priority now, to bring back who you really are”.
Axton looks at her.
“I doubt that”. Axton said taking the glass of drink inside his mouth.
Megan looks at him and smiles.
Someone wearing a hoodie looks at them and smirks, dialing a number.
“Hello Dad”.
“Any update”.
“Sooner or later, we’ll be able to get Axton”.
“Meaning”.
The person in the hoodie, looks at Megan who was trying to make Axton smile, and smirks.
“Through Megan”.

Ace was heading for his room, when he sees Sophia going towards the kitchen with a tray.
“Sophia”.
“Oh Ace”. Sophia muttered, looking tired.
“Your working already”.
“Yes I have, the mobsters are kinda fraustrating my life, guess is because I don’t talk”. Sophia said taking in her lips.
“But you should be celebrating your birthday with Megan right….so why’re you working”.
“Birthday”. Sophia asked creasing her eyebrows.
“Yes, Megan told me is your birthday today”. Ace said.
“Megan told you today was my birthday”.
Ace nods.
“Why will Megan lie about that, is not my birthday today”.
“Huh, is not your birthday today”. Ace asked looking surprised.
“Yes, I don’t remember anything about myself, so I don’t cerebrate my birthdays, Megan was the one who just looked at me, and rated my age”.
“If today isn’t your birthday, then whose birthday it is, and why will she lie to me”.
Sophia sighs.
“I wish I can answer your question, but right now I can’t, am so tired, if you see Megan, ask her why she lied to you, I have to go now Ace”.
“Alright Sophia”.
Sophia smiles lightly, and leaves.
“Why did she lie”. Ace muttered.
He turns to leave and bumps into Braxton and the cake in her hand fell to the floor.
“Watch were you going!!”. Braxton yells at him.
“Sorry”. Ace said tried to leave, but Braxton held her hand.
“And where do you think your going”. Braxton asked.
“I just said sorry right, we have always h@të each other sights, so just buzzed off”.
Braxton scoffs angrily.
“Buzzed off, you ruined the cake I was supposed to give to the boss and now your telling me to buzz off, your so going to get it from me”. Braxton yells and aims to punch him, but Ace dodge the punch and punch her instead.
Braxton grunts angrily and went for him again and both began to fight, tackling each other’s legs, punching themselves, involving in a non stop battle.
Other mobsters were already gathered watching them.
? They’re at it again.
?Must they fight anytime see each other.
? That’s what they get, from hating each other
? This is a really live wrestling, who’re you betting on.
? Braxton
? I’ll go for Ace
The mobsters Keeps talking, watching them fight, enjoying every bit of it.
Braxton and Ace have always h@tëd each other to the deepest, and they won’t pass by each other without fighting.
It was getting to a bloody combat, but non of the mobsters made an attempt to stop them.
Why will they, when they were busy enjoying a live wrestling.
Gatsby and Tornado came to the circle, and seeing Braxton and Ace fighting, they quickly seperates them.
“Let go off me Gatsby, am not yet done with him!!”. Braxton yells trying to break free from Gatsby’s grip.
She was bleeding from her nostrils likewise Ace.
“Must you both fight anytime you see each other”. Tornado said.
“She knows better not to cross my path”.
“Cross your path my foot!!” Braxton yells trying to attack Ace, but Tornado quickly drags Ace away.
Braxton grunts angrily.
“Let go off me!!” She screams at Gatsby.
“I was planning on doing so, guess I have to sanitize my hands for holding you”. Gatsby said.
“What!”
“Am sure you ain’t deaf”. Gatsby said and leaves.
Braxton grunts loudly, and the entire mobsters looks at her.
“What the heck are you all looking at!!”. She yells at them.
And they quickly leaves.
