Sweet Revenge

L

Feeling the pillow vibrate I opened my eyes letting out a groan before pulling my phone out from under the pillow.
The first thing I did was turn off the alarm and then check the time, it was 5 in the morning and even tho I was tired as shit I had to get up to prepare the surprise for Nicolai.

I turned over in bed being careful not to wake him up facing him, I put a hand on the side of my head to support myself while admiring him; even in the morning he was absolutely handsome, he had some strands of hair falling on his forehead and his lips were slightly parted.
With one finger I brushed the hair from his face and then I leaned in to give him a kiss on the cheek before moving his arm that was wrapped around my waist slowly so as not to wake him up.

Then I got up from the bed giving him one last glance before reaching the door and going out trying to make as little noise as possible; once outside I stretched my body suppressing a yawn and headed to my room rubbing my eyes.

I went to the bathroom where I took a shower, rubbed my body with my perfumed oil and then changed into a pair of shorts and an oversized shirt; after that I left my room heading to the kitchen where first of all I made myself a coffee and then I started decorating the room with balloons.

Once I hung the last balloon I admired my work with a proud smile and then I headed once again to the kitchen where I started preparing the birthday breakfast for Nicolai which consisted of pancakes with strawberries on top and syrup, a french toast and a cappuccino, which was his favorite.

I have to be honest it did take me long to prepare everything since I burned a pancake...okay maybe more than one but those are details.
With a satisfied sigh I ran to my room to change because it was already 7:00, Nicolai would wake up soon and I still had to go get the cake I ordered.

So I got ready as fast as possible changing into a pair of blue jeans and a black top, made a bun and put on some perfume and was ready to go out.
Once at the door, however, I ran to the kitchen where I left a note on the counter informing Nicolai that I had gone out and that his breakfast was in the dining room; since I didn't have a car I thought about whether to take the bus or take a taxi but not having the desire to walk all the way to the bus station I opted for the taxi.

After about fifteen minutes of waiting it finally arrived, I got in and the taxi driver greeted me before asking me where I wanted to go and once I told him we exchanged a few words which I usually don't do but that day I felt elated, I felt finally happy after a long time.

"We've arrived miss"
The taxi driver said, turning towards me smiling at me.
"Thank you very much, have a nice day"
I replied smiling back before giving him the money opening the door but before I had a chance to close it the gentleman started talking again.
"Oh and good luck"
He said making me chuckle a little.

"Thanks I appreciate it"
I answered before shutting the door heading towards the entrance to the pastry shop, once inside I took the cake, surprised at how well it came out, I paid and with a smile I left the pastry shop.
It was a vanilla cream cake with "wanna go on a date?" written in red on it with a little smiley.

This is how I was going to ask Nicolai out, maybe it was a bit too much but I didn't know how to deal with those things, it was my first time asking someone to go out with me and I felt a little nervous but I tried not to thinking about what could go wrong and started heading to the jewelry store where I was supposed to pick up the actual gift.

In fact I had also ordered a personalized ring with a rose engraved on it, the same one that was engraved on the gun that Nicolai gave me the first days we met, and next to it there was also a sunflower.

Maybe that's a bit too much.

I thought starting to get agitated maybe I should have waited before taking the ring.
