He chuckled, knowing full well that’s what had happened. “Why were you laying on the floor?” He muttered, licking at his lips after his second cookie. “I think I could eat like a whole tray of these and still want more.” A small smile played at his lips, and he picked up another one and began to nibble at it so he could converse while still eating the cookie. “Huh? No way, go ahead and open them!” Clapping his hands together, he waited for her to choose a first present. “It doesn’t matter which one you choose, I don’t think any of them are any better then the other. I made sure that there is like tons of strawberries on it.” He chuckled. “I know you like them.”

“Okay, That actually sounds more like what happened actually. He has also been laying on my back while I was laying on the floor.” She shook her head smiling. “I would be a sad, sad person if I didn’t have him to keep me company.” She nodded and stood by the table, looking at the wrapped presents. “Would It be a crime if I opened presents before cake?”

“I bake when I’m nervous.” She nodded. “I don’t know. It’s just always been a habit of mine. “ She smiled, listening to his muffled voice. “Thank you. They’re double chocolate chip. I figured those are the best.. The ones on the end are peanutbutter though.” Skipping to the doorway of the kitchen, she looked in. “I do love the cake.. I mean I haven’t tried it but it looks delicious.”

“You were baking with Princeton?” He questioned. “Are you sure it wasn’t just Princeton watching you bake, and generously knocking down things off the counter?” He chuckled shaking his head, eyes darting around the room searching for the little kitten. He blushed, pressing a kiss to her cheek in return. He scooped up Princeton in his arms, making a face at him. “Hey little guy, momma’s lucky to have you around to keep her company.” Princeton pawed at his cheek, and he set him down disappearing into the kitchen. “Oh...you really did make a lot of cookies.” He took in the sight around him, various trays of cookies placed around the kitchen. He smiled, taking one and biting into it. “Huh, these are really frickin good.” His words most likely sounding muffled due to the cookie shoved into his mouth. He peered over at Celeste. “You like the cake?” He asked, before popping another cookie into his mouth.

She laughed quietly as he had mentioned something from Alice in wonderland. “The white rabbit? Why? The only thing he really ran around saying was how late he was. You’re fine. I was just er.. baking with Princeton.. A lot of baking..:” She looking over at the kitchen biting her lip as she stepped back letting him in the house. 

“For me? You baked for me?” She smiled. I bet it’s wonderful since you spent all of that time on it.” She nodded and followed him over to the table, letting out a quiet giggle as he pulled her into a hug. “Thank you, lovely.” She smiled, hugging back tightly. “Honestly, You coming here is the best present.” She pecked his cheek gently, pulling back. “I have cookies in the kitchen if you want one.. or um, six dozen…” She looked over at the table, uncovering the cake placed there. Celeste smiled admiring the work he had put into it. “Chocolate strawberries..”

Humming a little tune as he waited for her, he mentally scolded himself. “I’m not supposed to like that music.” He offered his brain, telling it to kick it out of his head for the time being. It wouldn't of course, it would just become incessantly more annoying as time passed, getting louder and longer with every second spent in quiet. He perked up upon hearing the door open, and shot the blonde a wide grin. “I feel like the white rabbit from Alice in wonderland.” He commented, muttering about how stupid that comment was to himself. He seemed to do that often. Shaking his thoughts away, he presented the translucent green container towards her. “I have spent three hours on this masterpiece.” He said with zero hints that he was joking around. It had taken him thirty minutes alone to actually write something on the cake without making it look like a pile of shit. He smiled cautiously at her before walking inside, and setting the cake to the side along with the presents that were in his pockets and the one under his arm. “Happy Birthday Celeste!” He chuckled warmly, pulling her into a hug.

Celeste rolled her eyes as another text came in. It had been like that all morning. Finally having enough she got herself up off of the floor and placed her phone in one of the kitchen drawers. “I swear to god, Princeton. I hate this day.” Checking to see if her last batch of cookies, which happened to be her sixth, she pulled them out of the oven, placing them beside the other pans she had taken out earlier. 

She had a tendency to bake whenever she was worried or stressed out. She had made 6 batches already. She quietly cleaned up the mess she had made in the kitchen, dusting off the flour on her sweatpants. “Happy birthday, Celeste.” She looked at the cookies, her eyes widening slightly . “What the fuck did I do….”

Furrowing her eyebrows as she heard a knock on the door, she ruffled her hair, and walked over to the door. Unlocking it quietly, she opened the door, smiling small as she saw the male standing before her.

Dexter had felt more then troubled about this entire situation, he wanted to pour his heart into every little thing he did and that’s exactly what he set out to do. By the time he was actually done with all that however it was well late into the evening, he wasn't quite sure if she had messaged him, his hair was a mess and his clothes were caked with flour. At least he had actually gotten the cake done, what a beauty that thing turned out to be. It obviously looked nothing like the Google images, but it was close enough. A dark chocolate cake, with chocolate strawberries lining the top, he had even filled it with a pudding. Wiping some spare frosting off his cheek, he grabbed his phone from the counter and checked to see if he had received any messages. Or he would have done that, if it didn’t slip right out of his hands and crash onto the tile floor. “Oh jesus, be okay. Be okay.” He mumbled to himself, picking it up with a mixture of a hopeful and concerned look on his face. His eyes widened drastically upon realizing the screen was cracked. “Oh my fucking.” He muttered, placing the phone back down with a loud harrumph. Setting the cake in a container, he placed it on the table and collected his carefully wrapped presents from his room. Each one was simple and small, yet he something she was sure to be appreciative of. Finally he rushed himself out of the house before it could get any later, and arrived at her door with a panicked expression on his face. “Gee I’m probably like hours upon hours late.” He knocked at the door, looking worst for wear yet still showcasing a bright smile.

Dex: Happy Birthday, you wonderful, beautiful princess. I hope your day is just as amazing as you are

A light blush stained his cheeks, and smiled softly back at her. “I had an amazing time, there’s no reason to worry. You freaking out over your song was adorable.” He chuckled, shoving his hands back into his pockets. “So I’ll see you soon.” He waved to her and headed back to his car, feeling as if he was floating on air.

She nodded her head, gently pecking his cheek. “Thank you for taking me out, I had a great time and I hope we can do it again.” She smiled. “I’m sorry you had to see me freak out over my song, but other than that, I hope you had as much fun as I did.” 

[dex-directs-blog]

He nodded quietly at that answer, rocking on his heels with his hands shoved in his pockets as she unlocked the door. “Oh? I mean, a few minutes wouldn’t really hurt too much.” He checked his phone, and sighed softly. “Oh, it’s actually later then I thought it was.” He slumped his shoulders. “Tell you what, I’ll stop by to visit soon, yeah?”

“You are totally fine hearing it. I don’t mind.” She smiled back, hugging back. “Thank you. It means a lot coming from you.” She closed her eyes as he pressed a kiss to her forehead. She couldn’t say she didn’t enjoy it. That was a total lie. Following him to the door, she quietly unlocked it, turning around to face him. “Do you want to come in for a little while? You said you have a meeting in the morning so I totally understand if you don’t want to.”

[dex-directs-blog]

“I totally didn't hear it if you didn't want me too.” He smiled softly at her, bringing her in for a hug. “I’m real proud of you though.” He hesitated for a moment before pressing a small kiss to her forehead. Pulling away, he took her hand in his and walked her up to the door.

She bit her lip, getting out of the car as he opened the door for her. “I didn’t know you heard me.” She smiled lightly. “Thank you though.. I try as hard as I can to try to make him proud. and I’d rather not cry, I wouldn’t be able to stop.” 

[dex-directs-blog]

Yes. Hell fucking yes. I mean, I’m Dexter, you have an awesome name and I can take you to the comic book store if you want?

So, um, I’m sorry that I just… I don’t know. Uh, hi, I’m Mirabella and uh, like… that’s really stupid… wait, no uh, do you know the way to the nearest comic book shop? I seem to have… I’m having trouble finding my way around.

He felt his world slow down as he finally parked in front of her place, sending her a brief smile after her little freak out session. “He must be proud.” He smiled softly, getting out of the car to head over to open her side. “You have every right to cry, as long as they are tears of joy.”

She smiled, looking down at her lap. She mumbled under her breath, “I did it dad..” Her dad had always believed in her when it came to music. Grinning quietly, she covered her face, laughing as the song came to an end. “I thought I was about to cry for a second there.” 

[dex-directs-blog]

Looking over at her, seeing how estatic she was to be hearing her song blasting through the speakers, made his heart skip a beat. She looked so happy and carefree in that moment, simply singing the words to her own song as they drove along the dimly lit streets. “God, you are adorable.” He whispered quietly under his breath, turning back to the road just in time to make a left. 

“Holy fucking shit!” She grinned, her eyes lighting up as she squealed a bit. “I never listen to the radio but the one time I do.” She laughed leaning back in her seat, pulling her knees to her chest. “Oh my god!” She grinned singing along with herself which she thought was a bit strange but she felt like she made it once she heard her song on the radio with her own ears. 

[dex-directs-blog]

Just about ready to say something, he turned to her with a wide grin. “Oh wow yeah! Yeah it is!” He nodded along to the music. “One of your best ones yet, for sure.” He smiled brightly, turning it up a bit more as they drove along. He found himself tapping along to the beat, humming a bit as well. 

“But it’s so nice. It’s peaceful. Definitely nice for running in the mornings or writing in the afternoons.” She nodded. “I hope I am not the only one who thinks that way. You know how I was talking about songwriting earlier? And you asked if it was hard? It’s actually like writing a story.” She smiled turning on the radio and listening to the music for a few lines before speaking up once more. “This is my song… Dexter, this is my song!!” Her eyes widened looking over at him. “They’re playing my song!!”
