After getting all dolled up and making sure that she used her perfume with a light tropical scent and just a hint of sweet pineapple, Popuri was ready to go.
A white box in her hands, she hummed all the way to the shack. The pinkette worked extremely hard to bake something nice for Kai. She baked all morning until she made the perfect cake for him. Deep down she hoped that no other girls went to spend time with him yet. But then she stopped because thinking like that made her feel silly and childish.
Walking inside of the building, she called out in a sweet voice. “Kai? Are ya busy? I have something for you! Something sweet~” Stopping at the counter, she waited for a second before Kai walked out from the kitchen with a smile on his face.
Popuri could feel the butterflies in her stomach already. “Hola Popi~ What’s this sweet thing? You, maybe?” Kai asked, smiling teasingly.
"Hehe, nooo…" She blushed, opening up the box to reveal a cake big enough for two with the words ‘Happy Birthday Kai!’ written in purple icing on the top. "Happy Birthday! I made it all by myself~"
"Wow!" Kai smiled at the sight of the cake and then back at the pinkette. "I’ll get a knife and forks, si?"
"Si!" Popuri nodded, giggling lightly. Taking a deep breath, she announced proudly while Kai went to get the silverware and began cutting into the cake. "I’ve also been practicing a little something. A-hem… Feliz cumpleaños!"
"Very good, Popi!" Kai placed a plate with a piece of cake on it in front of her before praising her simple phrase. "You’re pronunciation was muy beuno."
“Gracias~” She let out a bubbly giggle before taking a bite of her piece. “Ah, I think I did well! What do you think, Kai?”
The tall male nodded with his own forkful of cake in his mouth. After swallowing he licked his lips enjoying the light sugary taste of the frosting. “I really like it, Popi. I was actually just starting to get a little hungry, too.”
"I have good timing then." Popuri held her fork in her mouth for a moment before noticing a bit of frosting at the corner of Kai’s mouth. Giggling lightly, she reached up to wipe it away. "You missed some frosting! I’ll get it.. See?" After showing it to him, she licked it off of her finger with a smile.
"Heh, you have some frosting on your face too." Kai murmured, putting some frosting on his finger and wiping it on the pinkette’s nose. Laughing, he took another bite of cake before Popuri wiping some frosting on his cheek.
"Aw, you got some there too!" She laughed along with him and before they knew it their faces were covered with cake and frosting. When they were finally out of places to put frosting and Popuri even saw some in her hair, they figured it was time to clean up. "Can I come in the back to wash up?" She asked, a bit embarrassed although Kai looked just as frosted as her.
"Si, of course!" He opened the counter for her to walk through, but before she walked passed him, he grabbed onto her hand gently and pulled her towards him. "Wait. Let me help you out."
"Huh?" Popuri looked up at Kai, her cheeks turning pink under the frosting. Then Kai kissed her on the forehead, kissing off some of the frosting before pulling away. "Oh… I can help you too…" Popuri murmured, going up on her tiptoes and kissing Kai on the cheek to take off some of the frosting there.
Before she could get too far from his face, Kai cupped her frosting covered cheeks in his hands and leaned in to get off the frosting that was on her lips. Backing away, he brought his hands back down and she had to try not to smile so much.
After a long silence, Popuri grabbed his hand and swung it gently back and forth. “So… did you enjoy your present?” She asked, looking up at him sheepishly.
Kai nodded, a bit embarrassed to look at her too. “Si, I did. It was very sweet.” He kissed her once more on the forehead before holding her close. “Thank you, Popi.”
Trying not to press her face against his chest too much, she giggled sweetly in reply. “De nada, Kai.”
