THREE.

Ella POV

Once I was caught by Kennedy, she walked me inside with her there is no going back now, I took a deep breath and went in with her. We walked to the table occupied by few other people all of them being males and dressed up for the occasion, I was introduced to all of them as Kennedy's friend. Some of the guys gave me a look like they knew something I didn’t while the other two just smiled at me and welcomed me with them.

 Henry said someone was coming. I’m guessing who this party is for, I felt like a weirdo standing there when they all yelled happy birthday once a handsome gentleman arrived to the table. I was late to saying the phrase but in the end I said it, I felt weird but weirder not saying anything to him. I saw him kiss Kennedy on the lips, thank the others and finally turned to me making me turn bloody red.

He instantly called me little one causing my blush to get even worse, was it this obvious, did they both instantly know I’m a little? How could they? We just met? We exchanged names and greeting, I thought they were a cute couple in general filled with love and happiness. It would be nice if they were my mommy and daddy, that if they were ones. But what if they were but don’t want me, I’m nothing special and I’m homeless. I’m kicked out of my home and now live out of my car that hasn’t moved for a while now.

Next it was time to order food they all chosen some expensive food that I can’t even pronounce, while I ordered the cheapest thing on the menu which happened to be a simple hamburger, I could hardly afford, I didn’t want a lot or to be a bother to anyone with paying for my food. I could feel the eyes of both Kennedy and Robert on me. I know I’m skinny but I’m not that hungry for a big meal anyway, eating small meals makes you get used to just a little bit of food at the time.

This plane burger alone cost the same as my weekly food budget but I ordered something because I knew they wouldn’t let me out of the restaurant without eating something. I didn’t want to be rude since Kennedy offered me to join the party, her husband birthday party, not the kind of party you get invited to every day.

Henry suggest we play the twenty one question games, well mostly to find out things about me since they are all friends, but still it was fun especially with all the comments from the others, they made me laugh so bad over this one question, water came out of my nose.

When it came to the question of my family I froze before giving a simple answer of “I don’t have any" I could tell Kennedy wanted to say something, anything but luckily for me the food arrived. I happily grabbed the burger and started eating it with the occasional fry. But with me being a little I made a mess of myself on my face and hands. I was about to clean myself when someone beat me to it, I looked over and saw this time it was Robert. I pulled away slightly but my little-self wanted more affection, more attention. Little me was in desperate need for love and affection, she was praying Kennedy and Robert would be a mommy and daddy.

Finally came the cake, it was a chocolate cake, what little would say no to a chocolate cake, I had a generous slice that I devoured happily. Next was opening of presents for Robert he had some good ones and others he just closed back the box and gave his friends the third finger making me giggle. I stayed silent watching him open all his gifts giving thanks to each one for the none offending ones, lastly was Kennedy’s gift, it was the book she got from my job. He must he a bookworm like me. My little side wanted him to read me bed time stories.

I couldn’t help but ask “do you like reading books too? I read almost all the time” Robert smiled and nodded before I asked his thoughts on a variety of books for the rest of the time I was there.

The night sadly had to come to an end, I wasn’t allowed to pay for my dinner, Roberts said it’s his birthday and he get’s to do what he wants that includes paying for my dinner, I accepted with a small smile, well at least I won’t starve this week.
