CIRCUMSTANCES MADE ME WHAT I AM

BIRTHDAY

TAMARA'S POV

It's here his big day but I'm the one nervous because I'm sneaking behind his back planning something for him. I know he said no crowds and I'm honoring his wishes...sort of. It shall be just us for the most part and I need to do this right or it'll blow up in my face so I'm dotting all 'Is'  and crossing all 'Ts'.

Had to pull out all stops on this one. He's got no friends for me to use as a distraction to keep him busy while I prepare so I had to go the mile and then some. I had his mother convince him to spend the day with her, keeping him occupied until I'm through.

She was surprised hairing from me. She had a lot of questions but can I blame her. She's never met or heard of me being so close to her only child but she understood when I explained why I had to go to these lengths.

"I get it he's stubborn as a mule, like his own space and moody, a boy with a split personality. It's done I'll have him spend some time with me this evening but move quickly because we know he's not one to stay in one place for too long." Were her words to me.

Unless he's between my legs....God I'm missing that..
Look at where my mind is while talking to his mom, even from a distance I'm trapped within his spell..

"I'm grateful and will need only two to three hours tops. So set a time to meet him 3pm and I'll take care of the rest" thanking her for helping me out.

"Ok hope to meet you soon" She told me.

"Me likewise " I replied, ending the call.

Now for phase two of my plan. I already called wishing him a happy birthday so I decided to
I sent him a message this time instead.

**hey birthday boy 😍 I'm coming over to spend the day with you will be there around noon unless you have other plans **

Now it's a waiting mind game, CHESS. Only hope he takes the bait.
My phone buzzes **I'm meeting my mom today, pick you up after?**

Shit now to use my Witt

** Oh that doesn't mean I can't come over early, get the grand tour, see you off and await your return, unless you're the type who doesn't trust to leave a woman alone in your house**

He replied immediately

**You have jokes. Cool just don't break anything before I get back. Prefer doing that together 😈**
My ego does backflips knowing my plan worked

But his double entendre had his usual effect and I knew my shower head had its work cut out for it, only hope the pressure is high this morning.

MARK'S POV

Waking up I got two calls wishing me happy birthday Tami and my mom respectively. Thinking of it who else is there. Besides Tami, the women I've been seeing have no idea of my date of birth.

My mother who I've not seen in a month with our schedule not being synced to have our usual lunch date has requested I drop everything as is, so she can take me out for my birthday.

I accepted as it's a special day and she's making the effort. Now Tami wants me to herself which I'm comfortable with I have no need for crowds, things become too unpredictable when you have less control. A body of people is just that unpredictable.

I step out onto the upstairs verandah inhaling the crisp morning air as a few rays heat my face. I relax leaning on a wall folding my hands listening to the morning.

The the gentle breeze tickling my skin, birds chirping, the occasional dog barking here and there. Life has treated me good so far one of the best birthdays in a long while.
