Birthday Celebration Pt. 2

The morning air was cool, gentle waves brushing against the shore as Lisa and Jennie strolled along the sandy shoreline, their hands entwined. The faint glow of dawn peeked over the horizon, painting the sky in hues of lavender, soft pinks, and pale oranges. They walked in a comfortable silence, listening to the rhythm of the ocean as they waited for the sun to rise.

Jennie's gaze drifted to Lisa, a soft smile on her lips as she took in the peaceful moment. Just being there with Lisa, with the anticipation of the sunrise, made the day feel like a dream. Lisa gave her hand a small, reassuring squeeze, feeling the warmth of Jennie's fingers intertwining with hers.

As the first rays of sunlight began to kiss the surface of the water, Lisa gently released Jennie's hand and bent down, carefully placing her phone on a small makeshift tripod she'd brought along to capture the moment. She stepped back, letting the recording capture the serene beauty of the sunrise and, more importantly, Jennie's radiant smile against the golden backdrop.

Jennie's eyes widened as Lisa pulled something from her pocket, her expression curious yet amused.

"Close your eyes," Lisa murmured with a playful grin.

Jennie giggled, but closed her eyes, waiting with a blend of excitement and anticipation. She heard Lisa's footsteps drawing closer, felt the slight coolness of metal as something wrapped gently around her wrist.

"Alright, open them," Lisa whispered, a soft smile in her voice.

Jennie opened her eyes and looked down to see a delicate bracelet glimmering on her wrist, its intricate design catching the light of the rising sun. It was the same bracelet she had admired at the mall days ago, the one that had caught her eye without her saying a word.

"You remembered..." Jennie's voice was a mix of surprise and warmth as she looked up at Lisa, her eyes shining.

"Of course I did," Lisa said softly, her hand lingering on Jennie's wrist for a moment longer. "Happy birthday, my love."

They stood there, basking in the glow of the morning light and each other's presence, the world around them fading as the sun rose higher, casting its warm light on the shoreline.

As Jennie gazed down at the bracelet, a soft smile spread across her face, her eyes glistening with warmth. She looked up at Lisa, and without another word, stepped closer, wrapping her arms around Lisa's neck. Their gazes met, and in that quiet moment, all the emotions they'd shared — the laughter, the love, the quiet moments, and the excitement of being together — seemed to come together.

Slowly, Jennie leaned in, her lips brushing softly against Lisa's in a gentle, lingering kiss. It was warm and tender, a kiss that spoke of love and promise, unhurried and genuine. Lisa's hands found Jennie's waist, pulling her closer as they melted into each other. Their lips moved in perfect harmony, savoring the quiet intimacy of the moment.

Lisa's hand slowly rose to Jennie's cheek, her thumb softly brushing against her skin as they continued their kiss, a silent promise exchanged between them with each touch. Jennie's fingers tangled in Lisa's hair, pulling her even closer, their hearts beating in sync as the sun cast a golden glow around them.

When they finally parted, both were left breathless, their foreheads gently touching as they looked into each other's eyes. The world around them was still, just the two of them standing on the shoreline, wrapped in each other's warmth as the morning sun rose higher, marking the beginning of Jennie's special day in the most beautiful way possible.

Back in their hotel room, the warm golden glow of the evening lights filtered through the curtains, casting a soft, intimate ambiance. Jennie stood at the wardrobe, picking out a dress while Lisa lay sprawled on the bed. Her head propped on her hands, Lisa watched Jennie with an unabashed grin, her eyes tracing every curve of her girlfriend's form. Jennie, aware of Lisa's lingering gaze, turned slightly, catching Lisa in the act.
