Andrea
I paced around the living room nervously and looked at the wall clock realising that Adam will be here at any moment.
Today is his birthday and I baked a cake with Emily's help in order to celebrate. I didn't invite anyone as I know that my husband doesn't like to celebrate today because it's the day that his mother died. But I want him to celebrate his birthday because today I am gonna tell him he is gonna be a dad.
My heart beat increased as I heard the front door being open and close. Within a second I saw Adam entering the living room tired but soon it changed into a vibrant smile seeing me.
He kissed me deeply as soon as he came to me.
" What's with the occasion?" He asked huskily, looking at my appearance.
I was wearing a spaghetti strapped lemon yellow sundress.
" Happy Birthday love." I said and I hugged him while he froze hearing me wish him.
He stood there without any reaction and looked at him nervously.
" Adam, are you ok? " I asked and shook him gently.
He unwrapped himself from me and took a deep breath as if he was trying to control his anger.
" How did you know it was my birthday?" He asked me angrily.
" Adam what happened? Why are you behaving like this?" I asked as tears pooled in my eyes.
" Isabel I asked you a question." He eyes bore into mine and if looks could kill I would be six feet down by now.
" Zac." I whispered.
He cursed under his breath as he rubbed his forehead in annoyance.
" Then he must also have told you why I don't celebrate my birthday, right." I looked down afraid to look at him and nodded my head slightly.
Adam was ready to strode towards the door but before he could get there I blocked his way and stood in front of him.
" Isabel, get out of my way. " He warned.
I shook my head in no. " Adam, I don't want to remember your birthday as a painful day, but I want you to remember it as an unforgettable one as we create new memories together. Please for me." I pleaded.
Adam looked at me intently and all of a sudden he hugged me tightly burying his head in the crook of my day.
" Isabel you are killing with me your kindness everyday." He said as he cradled my face in his hands.
" I am sorry for hurting you. I know that you are only trying to make me happy and me being an idiot always ruins it." I chuckled at his words.
I kissed his lips and took his hands as I dragged him towards the dining room where I placed the cake.
