"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Solànaaa, Happy Birthday to you!"

I watched in adoration as my family and friends all gathered at the large picnic table.

"Make a wish." My nana encouraged.

I thought hard and long about my wish and what I'd really hoped for.

Make me the best doctor ever

And then finally I blew out the candles that read the numbers 2 and 0.

A familiar pair of arms wrapped around me and I turned to see Teyshaun standing behind me, a bouquet of white roses and a small gift bag in his tattoo covered hands.

My eyes lit up, I hadn't seen him in forever, he had gotten all Hollywood after he got drafted. I was so excited for him though, he deserved all of it.

I knew their was some paparazzi near tho, taking pictures of us together, the media always found something to go off of and this month it was, "Basketball Player Teyshaun and mysterious girlfriend spotted again"

Even after countless times of him clearing it up, the media still made it annoyingly romantic.

He kissed me on my cheek, pulling me in for a second time, "You know ian never missed a birthday of yours, why start now?" He asked and I blushed like a child.

Not because I felt for him romantically but because it had been a while since I had been shown even the slightest affection and coming from him, I knew it was genuine.

"I've missed you." I told him softly and he smiled, showing his grills.

"I missed you more. After this finished I wanna talk to you about something." He told me and I nodded my head.

Afterwards I cut the cake and we all ate as the sunset, laughter echoing and the sound of nature blending in with one another. Soon it got dark after I opened every present except for teyshauns.

"Ah ah nobody better not be leaving without cleaning up." My cousin Nini said.

Nini was my favorite cousin, she had been letting me stay with her since I came back, she does hair so she's actually pretty financially stable.

I began to clean up and she stopped me, "Nope, it's your birthday I believe you have someone waiting to talk to you." She said as her eyes pointed at Teyshaun leaning against his car on his phone.

I smiled and rolled my eyes heading over to him.

"You wanna walk? Or the car ?" He asked and I was actually enjoying the nature so I suggested we walk.

"How have you been?" He asked and before a small "fine" left my lips he interrupted.

"Don't give me no short answer, I wanna know everything sos." He said.

"Mentally I've been better since I got away from all that mess, med school has been easier, I've been good financially but that's all because of...
