if there’s any more
trouble we’ll have to leave. We all tell him we’ll behave.
    We sit and eat our
dinner. At first, things are a little strained, but everyone soon
relaxes. The server brings out a cool cake with Mulan on it. She was
always Alex’s favorite princess. She blows out the candles, and
then the cake is taken back to be cut.
    We’re told the show’s
going to start right as the plates of cake are brought out. I turn my
chair around so I can watch, placing my plate on my lap. I’m so
caught up in the show, which is amazing, that I don’t notice my
piece of cake is gone until it’s over.
    “What the hell?”
    “Is something wrong,
Miles?”
    “You seriously ate my
cake while I was watching the show, Xandy?”
    “It was good.”
    I wave down the server
and ask him for another piece. He looks a little scared of me as he
heads back to the kitchen to get it.
    “You’re so lucky I
love you.”
    “I know, Miles.
Really, I do.” She looks down then.
    “What?”
    “Huh?”
    “You want to ask me
something. What is it?”
    “I was just wondering
if I could…umm…hold your hand.”
    “You don’t have to
ask,” I tell her as I hold it out to her.
    “I wasn’t sure.”
    “We’ll talk about
this when we get back to the room, okay?”
    “We’re talking?”
    I lean in close because
I don’t want anyone to hear. Ryan may like me, but he would
probably still kill me if he heard what I’m about to say. “Don’t
worry. That greedy pussy of yours will get the two orgasms I owe you.
But we do need to talk, too.”
    “My pussy’s not
greedy. It just likes you.”
    “It is ,
and what do you mean ‘likes’ me?”
    “Loves. It loves
you.”
    “That’s better. I
love it, too.”
    My cake arrives, and I
eat it quickly, pushing her hand away when she tries to eat this
piece, too. I look up and meet her grandmother’s eyes. Maggie
smiles at me, and I smile back. I’ve always liked her. Even though
she knows my secret. I trust her to keep it from everyone. Especially
Alex.
    We hang out a little
longer, and then everyone splits up. Alex and I are going to watch
Fantasmic with Landon while Zane and Quinn have a little alone time.
We need our own alone time, but I should still have enough time to
fulfill my birthday duties. She didn’t open her last present yet.
She said she wanted to wait until we were alone.
    She catches me staring
when we’re in New Orleans Square and asks me what I’m looking at.
“There’s a suite up there. I wanted to book it so bad for
tonight, but you can only win it. Even for a million dollars they
wouldn’t give it to me.”
    “You were going to
pay a million dollars for a suite?”
    “You always dreamed
of staying in one of the parks.”
    “You remembered? Of
course you did. You remember everything. I like it.”
    “I’m glad.”
    “Ugh. You two are
worse than my parents,” Landon says with a groan.
    I laugh as I ruffle his
hair and lean down to whisper in his ear. “Sorry, Land.”
    “You’re not mad at
Alex anymore, really?”
    “Really. I love her
very much, and I know she’s sorry.”
    “Okay. So I can like
her again?”
    “I hope you’ll like
her forever, buddy. Even if she wasn’t my girlfriend, she’s a
great person.”
    “She’s really
pretty, too.”
    “Yes, she is. But you
need to find a girl your own age and stop looking at mine.”
    “Is she really going
to come to our games?”
    “She said she would,
and she usually does what she says.”
    “Are you two talking
about me over there?”
    “Maybe.”
    “It’s not nice to
exclude the pretty girl.”
    I burst out laughing.
“You’re so cute, baby.”
    “You two are going to
kiss again, aren’t you?”
    “Yep. You should
probably look away,” I tell him as I pull Alex into my arms.

    I’m feeling awkward
when we get back to our room after dropping Landon off. I don’t
know how to behave. I can’t believe I did that to Miles. My uncle
was right. I acted like a spoiled
