ASTORIA
I smoothed my hands over my dress and took a deep breath. I have never worn a dress like this one. It was sexier and more revealing that what I usually wear.
The dress was short, reaching mid thigh. It was tight around my waist yet pooled around my hips and legs. The thin straps held the top glued to my chest.
My hair was down, done in soft waves. The dark brown strands falling around my shoulders.
And for my makeup I did a thin eyeliner and painted my lips in a bold red colour.
Today was Theo's birthday. He was turning thirty-two and I wanted to make his day special. It was his first birthday since we were married and of course I had to prepare him a surprise.
He was at work and I used that opportunity to decorate the garden and make the cake.
Even though I was not the best in the cooking area, I tried my best to bake him a cake. It was with strawberries that I picked up outside in the garden. The frosting was black and the writing on top was with golden colours.
It was past 6pm and he was supposed to be here any moment.
I have been up since 5am and prepared him a breakfast and brought it to our bed. I wished him happy birthday and soon he had to leave for work.
I then spent the whole time making the dinner and setting the table and the decoration in the garden.
I hung fairy lights on the trees and one of the guards helped me set the table and the chairs.
I checked myself in the mirror one more time and then went to the closet to pick up the red heels I bought specifically for today.
They were Cristian Louboutin. A special edition red heels that perfectly matches my dress.
I put them on my feet and then made my way outside of my bedroom. When I reached the first floor, I clasped my hands together and waited for Theo to arrive.
I wanted to wait for him in the hallway so we can go outside together.
I tapped my shoe on the floor and impatiently waited for him to be back home.
I fixed my hair for the hundred time and paced around the hallway.
After about ten minutes, the door started to open slowly. I turned around and grinned at Theo when he got inside.
