Universe (VegasPete) R18

Chapter 55 - The birthday switch (part 1)

-Pete-

I woke up and opened my eyes on what I thought was morning. But as my vision slowly adjust, I realized that our bedroom was plunged into darkness.

I clumsily and lazily tried to grab my phone on the nightstand and when I could finally reach it, I watched the time. It was almost 1pm. I turned on my side and tap the mattress where Vegas was supposed to be lie down, searching for him. But he was not there.

I straightened and let out a fainting cry of pain, rubbing my butt cheek gently. And I laughed slightly as the memories of last night came flashing into my head.

Vegas and I didn't sleep. Well, we did but not until seven in the morning.

We actually spent all night up, and we mostly spend it doing it. Multiple times. I don't even remember how many. My body was aching and even if the room was all dark, I could feel that my skin was covered in bites and scratches.

But I knew that it was worse for Vegas. I didn't give up; I was even the one who initiated most of the rounds.

I made sure he would remember this night. After all, it was our first time after so many month of abstinence and our first time as a couple. And I suddenly feel proud of myself thinking that Vegas must probably be covered in red marks and scratches just like me.

I'm not a cat but last night, I acted like it.

I just wanted to give myself to him after I propose to him.

Because...Yes. I did it. I literally put a knee on the ground and proposed. I'm engaged. Vegas is my fiancé. And the more I was repeating that word in my head the less it felt real.

I let myself fall on the bed and grabbed my head in my hands, the smile on my face getting bigger and bigger, in disbelief.

But I quickly woke up from the daze and straightened abruptly, the smile leaving my lips as soon as I realized that Vegas wasn't even there to celebrate this first morning as a happy engaged couple with me. This son of a bitch!

Men will be men right? Now that he spent all night shaking me like a freaking coconut tree, he doesn't need me anymore!

I felt the anger growing in me and was about to get up determined to go beat the shit out of him when suddenly the door opened slowly.

I turned my gaze and squinted my eyes to see better until I spotted three floating lights enlightening Vegas' face. I tried to look closer when...

« Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you, happy birthday Pete. Happy birthday to you... »

I stayed there without moving, naked in our bed watching Vegas carefully walking towards me, holding a little blue and black cupcake, his hand in front of the burning candles.

He sat on the edge of the bed, close to me and presented me this little cake in front of my face. The dim light enlightening his genuine smile, looking at me with tenderness.

« Happy birthday my love. » He said softly, barely hiding the joy that was filling his voice.

I was staring at the cupcake, and the flames flickering and I chuckled. I completely forgot it was my birthday.

But Vegas didn't. And for the first time in years, someone thought about me. And this someone was the person I love the most.

« Thank you Vegas, this is so pretty. » I said looking at the little cupcake decorated with stars and heart-shaped sugar candies.

« Come on, blow the candles! And make a wish!»

Vegas said impatiently still holding tight the cupcake in the palms of his hands.
