It was Zana's 22nd and she wasn't expecting anything like the previous year. She had asked her friends to leave her alone and not to drop by for a surprise. She went to bed before midnight and cried herself to sleep. The first person to wish her was her best friend Annie. Annie wasn't going to let Zana be depressed on her birthday over a guy and woke her up with cake and balloons right when it struck twelve. Zana did all she could to be happy and smiled wide for the pictures but Annie knew what was really going on. Zana had tons of friends and she was throwing her birthday party with a friend of hers who she had a huge crush on. Pax was her friend, Sammy's friend who had recently broken up with his girlfriend, Zana had taken a liking towards Pax from the first time they met and fantasized about him all the time but stayed away. She was excited to have a party where she could spend time with the heartbroken Pax after his dreadful break-up.
It was finally the party day. Everything was perfect and everyone was having a great time. The party turned out to be so crowded that Zana didn't know half the people there. She went looking for Pax around the house but couldn't find him anywhere. She had gotten him a waist belt that he was meaning to buy, as a birthday present. Pax was nowhere to be found when she at last saw him sitting alone on the parapet of the open terrace of the pent house. Before she could run up to him, she got caught up with a few friends who forced her to dance. Zana's friends were good dancers but her moves were the sexiest, she moved so swiftly and effortlessly that it seemed like a dream. While she moved her body and danced so elegantly, she caught Pax looking at her with his mouth wide open. She couldn't stop herself from thinking of kissing his perfect mouth instead she laughed and ran towards him.
