august 22, 2021. (the day before she goes on tour and her birthday)

it was 7:30 am, i woke up and decorated the house so that dua wouldn't see if i decorated the day before. i was done decorating by 9 am and dua usually wakes up at 10. i have about an hour to sleep so i creeped back into her room and layer down next to her. i slept in her room the other night that's why i went back to it. 

at 10:18 am i heard dua laughing and i was nervous that she saw the decorations. i turned around and noticed that she was just sitting next to me watching tiktoks.

"good morning yn!" dua giggled.
"happy birthday babe!" i said excitedly.

i sat up fully and kiss dua softly on the lips. i told her i loved her and that i'm hungry for breakfast.

"let's go downstairs" i said.
"okay i'm just gonna put my slippers on." dua said as she smiled.

i went down stairs before her and waited for her to come down. i heard her humming on the way down from the stairs.

"yn, what do you- WHAT THE" dua exclaimed as she saw all the decorations.
"you decorated! when did you decorate i was with you all day and night!" she asked.
"i woke up early to decorate so that you wouldn't see it!" i told her.

she came and hugged me. she pulled away and said "that's cute" and then kissed me on the lips.

"haha... so what do you want for breakfast, birthday girl?" i asked her.
"hmm.... what about chocolate chip pancakes?" dua said.

i made her chocolate chip pancakes as soon as she asked for them. she kept trying to go help me but i said no and i'm doing everything because it's her birthday and she deserves to relax. i poured 2 cups of wine even though we usually only drink in the after noon. we sat down at the table and started talking as we ate.

"i am 26." dua said.
"haha i know dua." i said sarcastically even though she actually turned 26.
"i'm so old" dua said again.
"dua your not old, your 26, you only get like 5 seconds of your life to be young and beautiful and you are still young! say your old when you turn 33." i told her.
"why 33?" dua asked.
"because that seems right i don't know." i said.

we ate our pancakes and drank our wine. we talked about things like plans for today and when to pack everything for her tour. she decided she wanted to go to new york and go shopping all day.

at around 1:30 pm, we got dressed, did our makeup, and did our hair.

"you ready to go?" i asked her.
"give me a second!" dua shouted from the bathroom.

30 seconds later i started to hear her footsteps getting closer and closer to me. i didn't know if my outfit had to be like formal and nice because it was my girlfriends birthday or just normal because we were going to new york. i wore a pair of low rise, baggy, ripped jeans and a white crop top. i also wore a black zip up hoodie on top to spice it up a little. i threw on a few rings and necklaces to finish the look. dua walked down stairs and said "i'm ready" and put her hands under her chin.

"dua... wow... i don't understand you sometimes" i told her.
"your not meant to... i am a mystery" she giggled.

dua was wearing a short and glittery dress with silver sequined high heels and a chanel purse. she also blow dried her hair.

"well i guess let's go!" i told her.
"i want coffeeeee!!!" dua said.
"do you wanna stop at starbucks?" i asked her.
"yes please!" she said as she smiled.

we drove for 7 minutes to get to starbucks and 15 more minutes to get to new york city. we live in new york but not that close to the city. i couldn't help but notice how good dua was looking. her hair and make up was perfect, her outfit was AMAZING, and her soft voice just made me want her more.

"you looks so pretty dua..." i told her.
"so do you!" she smirked.

we both leaned in and kissed each other. we got out of the car and noticed that there was a louis voutton pop up shop! we walked to it and i could tell that dua wanted everything in the store. i already got her a present but i didn't tell her or give it to her yet. if you were wondering what it was, it was a kitten. we had dexter but he was with her sister, rina, in LA. she talked about getting a kitten all the time. i got the kitten and gave it to my friend, Michelle, and she said she would drop it off at our house at 8pm.

.....

it started to get dark outside and dua looked pretty tired. she had to go to start tour the next day at 10 in the morning so i didn't want her up to late so that she wasn't exhausted.

"dua, it's kind of late and you need to rest, do you wanna head home now?" i asked dua.
"okay! i am a little tired anyways." she said.

......

"*yawn* that was tiring!" dua yawned.
"it was wasn't it?" i replied.
"yup" she said.
"well go wash up i'm gonna get your gift!" i told her.
"okayyyyy hahahahaha!" dua laughed.

michelle dropped the kitten off at my house at 7:56. it wasn't 8 o clock but it was probably better this way.

.....

"DUA!! COME DOWN!" i yelled up to her.
"coming!" dua yelled back.

around a minute later dua come down stairs in a blue unicorn onesie.

"okay dua, this is your present, i'm gonna go grab it from the kitchen now." i told her.
"okay i am so excited." she said.
"close your eyes!" i warned her.

i went and got the kitten. i brought it up to her and told her to open her eyes.

"open your eyes!" i exclaimed.
"WHAT! YOU GOT ME A KITTEN!? NO WAYYYYY!" dua said filled with excitement.
"yes it's kitten! it's a girl too, what do you wanna name it?" i asked.
"what about maia?" she said.
"PERFECT!" i said.
"i'm not gonna be able to see it for 3 months though." she said with a frown.
"it's fine, i'll take care of it while your gone, i'll teach her her name and everything." i told her.

.....

i sat on the bed and dua back flopped on to it. she was definitely tired, she needed rest for her big day.

"okay well, good night birthday girl!" i said, "love you!".
"love you too" she said.
