The Writer's Romance 80 Clark's Birthday 1

Bea secretly messages Wyn, "Hey, are you with Sheen?"

Dan looks at Bea annoyingly," This is going to be a big problem."

"Aren't you excited? I mean, I promise, they'll be fine." Bea wiggles her eyebrows as her phone rings.

"No, what are you talking about?" Wyn replied in Bea's message.

"I thought you want to help in the prank?" Bea's hands suddenly went cold with Wyn's reply.

Sheen breathes heavily as she hears the men talk as they drive away.

"This young lady is very light, Sir, you should make her eat a lot," a man said and they all laugh.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever," A familiar voice said and started laughing.

Sheen rolled her eyes, "Wyn," She said, "Is that you?"

"Hey! Why is she still wearing that sack! Take it off!" Wyn shouted.

Sheen suddenly laughs, it made her feel so afraid but now she just can't help but laugh.

Someone pulled the sack off her head and she blinks a few times to see clearer.

"Hey, why are you crying? I thought that something just came into your eyes that's why you look like that earlier," Wyn said as he looks at her.

He sits on the front seat while Sheen's sitting in between the two men who took her.

"I'm sorry about that. Did we scare you? I thought Bea told you," Wyn said with an awkward smile.

"No, Bea didn't tell me anything. What's happening? And who are these guys?" Sheen asks with a smile on her face.

"Uh, last night due to the excitement, Bea messaged me about your prank. I told her I'll join you but I didn't get into details on how. And these guys work for me. As you know, I will be owning a company soon that's why I need guards," Wyn smiled proudly.

"Weren't you Blue's guard before? You can guard yourself," Sheen laughs while wiping her eyes.

"Well, Mom told me to get guards. Anyways, where should we go?" Wyn asks.

"To my condominium, and why are you holding my phone?"

"You almost dropped it earlier and I had to scare Mr. White a little to make it sound like a true prank. And by the way, I'll be apologizing to him later."

Sheen looks at Wyn, "Scare?"

"Yeah, I told him that he shouldn't call the police or you'll die." Wyn laughs and told the driver where to go.

"Oh," Sheen crossed her arms and takes a deep breath and closes her eyes, "The prank happened earlier, what you're doing is something that will just totally make everything worst."

"What?" Wyn looks back at her, "Why? What happened? Worst?"

"Well, Bea said that I should act as if I hate him and I'm playing him. So yeah, my parents joined in. He believed, said somethings and now, I ran away and is kidnapped as another part of the prank." Sheen replied and looked outside the car.

"Is that why you're crying?"

"Yeah. It's a prank but I got hurt," Sheen laughs and buried her face in her hands.

"What? How come you got hurt? What did he say?"

"Nothing much. It's not true but yeah, you know me. I'm emotional. By the way, can we stop by a bakery? It's Clark's birthday."

Wyn stared at her for a moment, she seems tired.

"Okay, don't worry. I know he's not a killjoy, but yeah, I think this part of the prank will cause a bigger problem. And I'm telling you this prank is not the normal funny prank," Wyn snorted and pointed at a bakery to stop by.

"Right? I didn't know why I agreed to this. But at least I didn't pretend that I'm dying, I think that's worst."

"No, it's better that you pretended that you're dying instead of hurting him," Wyn nonchalantly answers back.

They stopped by and Sheen was too hit by Wyn's words that she just stared at the cakes in the bakery.

"Hey? Aren't you going to buy something? Clark's messaging us, he said he'll find us." Wyn said while standing beside Sheen.

"What? Wait, he can track my phone! Turn it off!" Sheen grabs her phone off Wyn's hands and turned it off immediately. "Let's hurry or he'll catch us."

Sheen looks around to see what cake is perfect for Clark and paid for it as soon as she orders, "Can you just deliver it after 30 minutes? And put 'Happy birthday, Clark."

"Oh, okay. What's the address?" The cas.h.i.+er asks.

Sheen answered fast and went outside after telling her address in the condominium but she went inside again, calling the cas.h.i.+er's attention, "If someone looks for us, tell them you don't know. Just say that a car stopped for a while and drove away, okay?"

The cas.h.i.+er just looks at her weirdly as he nods.

"You sure don't want to be saved," Wyn said as they enter the car.

"Yeah, because I don't know what's happening in the company and I sure don't know how to face Clark."

"Don't you think your life is more exciting than the ones you write?" Wyn asks as they start to drive away.

"Well, for me, my books are more organized than my life," Sheen said, "And have you talked to Bea?"

"Yeah, but I acted as if I am not with you. But I think she knows we're together."

The condominium's not that far, and since they don't want to get caught, they didn't park at the condominium's parking lot.

Wyn and Sheen went out of the car a street away from the condo and left the car in the parking lot of a restaurant near them.

"So, tell me, why do you want to apologize to Clark? He's the one who suddenly got angry," Sheen asks as they enter the elevator.

"Because I know I shouldn't be too close to you because it's disrespecting to your fiance. And... I have a secret," Wyn smirked.

Sheen looks at him, "What secret?"

"I'll tell you when we get to your condominium... By the way, where do you want to get caught by Clark? In your condo? Then, I shouldn't be with you then."

"What? I called Blue, Kady, and Elgeen as well as Cha to go here after an hour. So, all we have to do is pretend that I'm kidnapped until they arrive here and that's when you'll tell Clark as my kidnapper that we're here in my condo."

Wyn looks at her amazed, "You're a quick thinker. Anyways, have you prepared for a surprise?"

"Yes, Mom was too excited." Sheen walks out first and went inside her s.p.a.ce immediately.

She saw the balloons and decorations around her living her.

It's simple but it's really cool.

Black and White are the themes of the party.

"Make yourself at home, do you want something to eat? I'm hungry!" Sheen exclaimed and went inside the kitchen.

"Where's your ring?" Wyn asks as he lays down on the couch.

Sheen walks out of the kitchen with two gla.s.ses of grape juice, "I have it, I hanged it on my necklace," Sheen puts the gla.s.ses on the center table and pulled out the ring in her neck.

"Oh, I thought you don't want him anymore. Is it part of the prank?"

"Uh... yeah," Sheen sips the juice awkwardly and sits down, "What's the secret?"

Wyn looks at her as if he doesn't want to tell her the secret in the first place, making Sheen roll her eyes.

"Come on," Sheen stands up to take the cus.h.i.+on and put it in her lap.

"Don't be shocked," Wyn puts his left leg on the sofa and laid down, staring at the ceiling.

"Well, if it's a secret I think I have the right to be shocked," Sheen laughs, "What is it?"

"You still act as if Clark didn't get angry when he saw us together in this same place, huh?"

"Just spill it," Sheen said irritatedly.

"Okay, chill dude." Wyn paused for a few seconds, "Clark's my half-brother.."

"What?" Sheen asks.

Wyn's voice was fading as he tells her the secret he just found out last night the exact time when his mother gave him the security guards.

"Clark's... my half-brother," Wyn said in a faint voice.

But it is loud enough for Sheen to hear.

She just blinks her eyes fast, trying to digest what she just heard.

"Half-brother?" She repeated while trying to weigh the reasons why she should believe Wyn.

"Is this a prank?" Sheen asks.

Wyn laughs and sits down, "Okay... okay... Chill, okay? Listen," Wyn inhaled and exhaled.

"My mom told me last night that she and Clark's dad had an affair a week before her and dad's wedding. I won't get into details, but here I am. Alive. Dad treated me as his since he really can't have any child. They hide it from me too because they know Clark's dad didn't want me because it's me who ruined Clark's parent's marriage."

Sheen's face was shocked, "What!" She yelled, "You're telling me that right now when a lot of things are happening?"

"What!" Wyn screamed back from being surprised by Sheen's yelling, "Are you the only one who can spill the trouble in your life? My mom just told me this last night and I need to vent out that's why I also wanted to apologize to Clark and join in the prank."

Sheen looks at him annoyed and surprised, "You don't look like Clark," she said.

"Yes, but Cj and I have a bit of similarity," Wyn proudly said, as if he's already claiming they are related.

"What?" Sheen suddenly felt suspicious, 'Does he know that Cj's not Clark's son?'

"What? He's my nephew, is something wrong with that?"

"No," Sheen breathes out, 'Clark's dad really can't keep it in his pants.'

"Anyways, are you going to tell Clark?" Sheen rests back.

"No, I... I want to keep it as a secret. And also, he already asked me to be his business partner but I declined."

"Why?" Sheen asks, not even reacting too much.

She's already handling too much right now.

"Because I want to prove myself to my Dad. Since I was little, even though I am a Lee, he still looks down on me. He made me work as Blue's bodyguard for years and even worked under Kady as your fake fiance. And now that I have a chance, I don't want help from Clark. From the blood that denied me."

Sheen just looks at him, she can't think of anything to say right now.

"I am sorry, but after this, I will be your enemy. I mean in business but we're still friends. And also, always remember, I'll always be here if you get tired of Clark." Wyn winks at her.

"Shut up, I think Kady's on their way, you should prepare for your apology speech."

Sheen stands up and went to her room to get her guitar and took a quick shower and changed her clothes.

She sweats a lot earlier and she feels kind of uncomfortable.

Wyn, while waiting for Sheen and the others, texted Bea and told her that Sheen's with him.

Bea suddenly called Wyn, "Hey! Clark's going crazy! He's trying to track Sheen's phone and he can't reach it! There are a lot of men looking for you. You're dead meat!"

"What? You said it's fine if I join the prank, right? It's your fault. You're dead meat." Wyn replied.

"What? Are you crazy? It's hard to explain to Sheen's parents, ugh! I hate you. You should open Sheen's phone now! He's going berserk!"

"Okay, okay. We'll just wait for the cake and Blue."

"Okay. Gosh, he's so worried. Better explain it to him later," Bea said and immediately turned off the call.

"Wow, I didn't know he can go crazy over Sheen. He was not like that when it was Cj who got kidnapped," Wyn stared at his phone and turned it off.

He looks at Sheen's phone on top of the table and took it, "Sheen! Clark's going crazy!"

The door suddenly rang, Wyn got up and opened the door.

It's Kady, Char, and Elgeen with Blue who's holding the cake they ordered earlier.

"Hey!" Kady and Blue pats Wyn's back and the two girls waves their hands at him.

They entered the condo and went directly to the kitchen, "We just met the delivery man earlier and thought that we should take the cake." Blue explained as he put the cake on top of the table.

"Who cooked this? Or it's ordered as well?" Kady asks while pointing at the foods prepared.

"I don't really know... Sheen's preparing but I think she'll be here in a minute. We still have to make the call." Wyn sat down on one of the stools.

"I see. It's the prank, right? Sheen told us that they'll be playing a prank at Clark since they kind of had a misunderstanding." Elgeen took a gla.s.s of water and drinks.

"Yeah, something like that. Your tummy's getting bigger, Miss Cha. I think you and Bea are going to give birth the same time," Wyn commented.

"No, I'm three months earlier, my due date's next month," Cha said who's sitting down in front of Wyn.

"Hey!" Elgeen exclaimed when Sheen entered the kitchen, she's wearing a simple dress with light make-up.

"Hey! I was thinking of taking a video of you begging for Clark's help," Wyn laughs.

"No need for a video. Just call him and tell him that we're here." Sheen replied while hugging Elgeen and Cha.

"What's the plan?" Blue asks.

"So, after the prank of hurtful things to Clark, I was kidnapped by this man with a name of Gerwyn and we'll have to get Clark here," Sheen explained in simple words.

"Oh, then... What are we waiting for?" Blue exclaimed excitedly.

"Where's my phone?" Sheen asks.

Wyn gave her the phone and Sheen turned it on.

A few minutes later, a call was received from Clark.

They all look at each other, scared.
