🍯- ͙۪۪̥˚┊❛ honey ❜┊˚ ͙۪۪̥◌🍯

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY honora you fantastic bitch." liliana shouted, waking honey up from her sleep. after a moment or two of waiting for her eyes to adjust, there stood her sister in the doorway of her bedroom, a bright smile on her face.

"morning sleepy head."

"you couldn't think to give me a fucking lie in liliana." honey mumbled, rubbing the sleep away from her eyes. she saw her sister shake out a laugh before making a beeline for honey's bed, crashing down beside her.

"it's not everyday you turn twenty-two." liliana spoke, leaning her head on honey's shoulder, before she then felt honey rest her on head on top of her own. "-i don't know about you, but I'm feeling-"

liliana stopped, looking at her sister to finish the sentence when she instead she just got a glare- honey still annoyed over the fact of being woken up abruptly.

"let's try that again." liliana clapped her hands. "-i don't know about you, but i'm feeling-"

"twenty-two." honey sung, a smile unconsciously creeping onto her face as liliana smiled. "-everything will be alright if you keep me next to you."

"yes honey! you channel that inner taylor swift." the two sisters smiled, wrapping their arms around one another. "also i forget how good of a voice you have."

"okay it may be my birthday lili but you don't need to lie." honey shrugged off liliana's comment, knowing her sister was only saying that because she was her sister. it wasn't true.

"honora, birthday or not- it's true you bitch." liliana ruffled her sisters hair- bringing a sigh of annoyance to be exhaled by the younger girl out of the two. "anyway- get yourself ready whilst i make pancakes."

"are you feeling okay lili?" honey asked with a confused expression- never did her sister offer to make pancakes- to which honey always questioned why cause liliana was one of the best cooks- especially when making pancakes.

"it's not everyday that it's your birthday- so take the nice act I'm giving you." and with that, liliana left the room, giving a laughing honey a wave goodbye.

messages on her phone from both friends and family were popping up on honey's phone as she picked it up off from the bedside table. a chime alongside the words of corbyn texting her was caught by honey's eyes- making a small smile crawl onto her lips.

'happy birthday honey- see you later today :) x'

the small, simple but effective message did make honey smile more. she responded with a thank you, as well as saying she will see him later- as him and jonah were due to tag along to the families birthday party they had planned for honey. and when honey and liliana were due to eventually ditch the birthday party, they were going to go out drinking with the group- before going out again tomorrow night.

before it was just going to be jonah tagging along- thanks to him dating liliana of course- but since having made their plan together, honey asked corbyn to tag along- as she damn well knew bethany was going to bring adam, just to piss off and upset honey on her birthday.

because she was that type of person.

but two can play that game. but it was also a way of corbyn and honey to get their minds off their exes- so if that was with one another, then that's what they would do.

and that was definitely what honey was going to do- as she needed a distraction. and it was convenient that corbyn too needed a distraction.

"honora! you may be the birthday bitch but get your ass down here for pancakes!"

"happy birthday mi amore." the smile on honey's face only increased as her grandmother pulled her into her arms. she had just arrived at her parents home, where honey had noticed they had gone completely overboard with the decorations and party celebrations for her birthday.

she appreciated it all of course, but sometimes honey would be fine with just a cookie with the words happy birthday on it- but she still appreciated her mothers and fathers dedication to make sure their children always had the best birthdays.

"where's the beautiful boy then?" honey laughed at her grandmothers words, pulling away so she could properly talk to her.

"he should be coming soon abuela- patience." honey joked, making sofia scoff in a playful way, giving her granddaughter a gentle shove.

"honora you need to get your eyes tested."

"abuela! why?" honey exclaimed, the look of pure shock displayed on her face only making sofia laugh in response.

"because he's stood over there, and it seems he wants to speak to you." before honey could exclaim, sofia had already walked away, leaving honey in the middle of the living room that had been moved around to accommodate honey's party.

sofia was right, as honey met corbyn's eyes already on her. she watched as he leaned against the archway of the day, his arms crossed against his chest to match his ankles that were crossed over one another.

and with that stance alone made honey want to walk over there and grab him. i mean nothing was stopping her, but honey knew of the dangerous game she would be playing if she fully agreed to this friends with benefits- which was also a fake dating scheme- that the two had come up with in order to get back at their exes.

about to turn her head away from corbyn, honey watched as he lifted one of his hands, giving her a wave before ushering her over to him. taking a second, honey glanced around to see liliana and jonah laughing as he tried to teach her to dance to the slower song that was being played by the dj.

but that didn't last long as liliana gave up, her and jonah doing one of their signature dances they had come up over the years that they had been together for.

honey couldn't help but smile at her sister and jonah, her watching them in complete awe. but with that look of awe, came a swipe of pain to slice through honey's heart- her brain making her think back to how her and adam used to be like that at the start of their relationship.

however that slice of pain fizzled away pretty quickly when eye contact was made across the room with adam, bethany by his side. before she could comprehend turning her head away from the two idiots who once again thought they had the audacity to turn up to her birthday party together- a feeling of someone beside her caught honey's attention first.

the feeling of their warmth behind her soothed honey, and when their hands rested themselves against her shoulders- honey couldn't have felt anymore relaxed if she tried.

"stop looking." he whispered into her ear, a shiver running down her spine as honey glanced up to see corbyn's face looking down at her. dropping her mouth to ask him a question, her actions were abruptly stopped as a kiss to her neck was placed.

"corbyn." honey warned, the breath of his chuckle tickling her neck. stepping out of his grasp, honey turned around to see a smirk plastered across corbyn's face.

"i thought you wanted to put up a show?" corbyn asked, raising his eyebrow at honey who sighed in annoyance. it was true, this was apart of their plan to get back at adam and bethany.

"you seem to be enjoying this way too much."

"what and you aren't?" corbyn challenged, his eyebrow raising higher as he anticipated an answer from the blonde girl before him. as he waited, corbyn took this as the opportunity to take a few steps, closing the gap between him and honey.

"it's showtime honey." he said with a wink, grabbing her hand to drag her to the table where the alcohol was placed around. "-and i think you and me both need this alcohol to help liven you up a bit."

"hey i am livened up already thank you!" honey exclaimed, pulling her hand out of corbyn's grasp, stopping him in his tracks.

"oh yeah? prove it."

not wasting a second, honey grabbed ahold of each side of corbyn's face, bringing his lips to meet her own. a gasp of surprise was heard from behind them, bringing a smile to fall upon both corbyn and honey's faces as they knew who that gasp belonged to.

"what the fuck?!"

"move along dipshit." honey laughed, bringing her lips away from corbyn's at the words of her sister speaking behind her. "go cry about it, but guess what it's karma."

honey and corbyn looked at one another as sighs in annoyance and two sets of feet were heard leaving the room- chuckles that honey knew were from her sister and her grandmother were heard after the footsteps were no longer heard.

"i guess you did prove it."

"you damn right i did." honey said, giving corbyn's face a gentle tap before then turning around, leaving him stood there by the drink table. he watched her leave, her dark blue dress that fit her in all the right places catching corbyn's attention, alongside her blonde hair trailing down her back.

"touché honey matthews, touché."
