Mija Priestess

Part 40

I switched the shower off, probably spending longer than was necessary under the red hot jets, and proceeded to walk back into the bedroom from our en suite. As I did I was greeted by a slightly cleaner looking Damian sat on the bed waiting for me. I looked down at the floor not wanting to make eye contact as I was still feeling like a bit of an idiot for my earlier comment.

"Mija? Mirame porfavor." I did as was asked and looked at Damian, tears brimming ready to overflow yet again. "Come sit with me, I think we need to talk." My heart sank, in my experience when someone said that they needed to talk it rarely ever ended well. I sat next to Damian on the bed, wrapped my towel more tightly around myself and braced myself for wherever this conversation went.

"I think I know where this is going. I am sorry I didn't tell you it was my birthday but it's never been a big deal, it has always just been another day and I am sorry for what I said earlier." I went to continue but Damian placed his finger against my lips stopping me.

"Mija, detente porfavor." I stopped just as Damian had asked, submission was something that came naturally to me. "I am not mad at you for not telling me it was your birthday, I don't blame you as you have never been given the chance to enjoy it nor am I even mad at you for what you said earlier. I would be lying if I said I hadn't at least thought about my future with you. OUR future Soph." I could feel myself starting to smile at his words. "I want children with you, when the time is right. We haven't been together long enough just yet but I love that you are already thinking it too. Don't ever feel as though you have to hide anything that you are feeling for me. Mija porfavor, nunca tengas miedo de decirme como te sientes."

"I don't think that I could ever hide my feelings from you even if I tried. You always manage to see straight through me no matter how hard I try."

"That's because Mija, you are mi alma gemela, mi amor, mi pieza perdida. My soulmate, my love, my missing piece. Nosotros somos uno. We are one Mija, it is going to take a lot more than these last few days and declaring you want a baby with me to make me run from you. From us." Damian leant forward and kissed me on the forehead before placing a hand under my chin and lifting it so that our lips were able to meet. "Now get dried and ready Mija. Our friends will be here in about an hour and I need to finish the Key lime pie." I smiled widely at the mention of that. "I know that my key lime pie is a favourite of yours, so thought it was only fitting I make it for you today."

With that Damian left me to get dressed and ready. I decided not to wear too much, after all it was going to be a pool party. I chucked on some tankini shorts, a bikini top and then a Tee over the top. I felt like being cute so I put my now split dyed black and purple hair up in a half ponytail and added a few little braids. I didn't bother with any make up as I would be jumping in a pool.

I came back into the kitchen to be greeted by a grinning Rhea stood at the doorway with big box of chocolates and a balloon saying happy birthday. "Are these for me?" I asked not sure whether it was a joke or not as I couldn't remember the last time I had received a birthday present.

"Of course they bloody are. Who else is turning 32 today? It isn't much as this was kind of last minute and not many places were open." Rhea was still grinning as she explained.

"You shouldn't have, thank you though." I tried not to get emotional but this is not something I was used too. I took the presents from Rhea. "Go through to the garden, help yourself to beer, food and anything else on offer. I will be out in a second just going to check Damian doesn't need any help." I went through to the kitchen. "Papi, necesitas ayuda?"

"I'm good thanks Mija, I have it all under control. Go and enjoy your day with our friends. The others will be arriving in a bit." Damian turned to look at me and give me a kiss before ordering me to go and keep Rhea company. "Rhea get you those?"

"Yeah she did. I don't actually remember the last time I received a birthday gift. Is that wrong? Or is it the same for most adults?"

Damian looked saddened by this. "No Mija, it isn't the same for most people. You should be spoilt on your birthday and I assure you that once everyone leaves you can have your gifts from me."

"You've got me something? You really didn't need too, I am ok with not getting things."

"Mija detente. What have I said before? I want to treat you the way that you deserve. When people leave, you will get your gifts. Yes, plural. Now go and join Rhea and take the cookies." I smiled, gave Damian a kiss on the cheek and as per normal I did as I was told.
