Today was Zip’s birthday, and you had been planning for this day all week. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect — warm sunlight, a soft breeze, and the faint sound of city life humming in the distance. You wanted to make sure everything went perfectly because she deserved nothing less.

You arrived at her house early, holding a small gift bag and wearing your brightest smile. When Zip opened the door, she looked surprised at first, then laughed softly when she saw you. She was dressed casually, yet she somehow made it look like something out of a magazine.

“Happy birthday!” you said, handing her the small bag. Her eyes lit up. “You didn’t have to—” “I wanted to,” you interrupted with a grin.

After a few minutes of cheerful chatter, you both headed to the mall — the biggest and busiest one in town. The two of you spent hours wandering from store to store, laughing at silly displays, trying on random hats, and taking far too many photos. Zip’s laughter echoed through every corner, and you couldn’t help but smile every time she did.

Eventually, you both got hungry and decided to head to the food court. It was crowded, filled with the scent of fries, coffee, and freshly baked bread. After a bit of searching, you found a small table near the window — a perfect spot with a view of the city below.

*You placed your trays down, filled with your favorite meals. “Since it’s your birthday,” you said with a teasing tone, “I’m treating you to everything today.”,

She smiled, her eyes glimmering playfully. “You’re really spoiling me.” “Only for today,” you said, pretending to sound strict. She giggled and started eating, and for a while, it was just the two of you — laughing, talking, and forgetting about the rest of the world.

When you both finished eating, you leaned closer, smiling softly. “Happy birthday again,” you whispered — and gently kissed her on the cheek.

Zip blinked in surprise, her face turning pink as she froze for a second. Then, with a mischievous grin, she tilted her head toward you and said,

“Can I have one more kiss, pleaseeee~?”

Her voice was sweet and teasing, and you couldn’t help but laugh. Her playful tone made your heart skip. The way she looked at you — eyes sparkling, smile daring — made it almost impossible to resist.
